WANTED: E90 335i N54

AW F31 · 09-13-2022, 02:21 PM

With a F31 335d xdrive daily, I find myself wanting a RWD, manual weekend toy.

I've always had a soft spot for the E90, having had a Blue Water Metallic e90 LCI 330d previously.

So, a e90 335i, manual, with the N54 engine seems like the logical choice if I can find the right one.

Reason for needing a e90 saloon, is although a weekend toy, it would also see dual use by my partner during the week, so needs to accommodate easy access for a child's seat.

I don't mind pre-LCI or LCI. What is more important to me is that the car has a good service history (and preferably low owners).

With regard to colour, I have no strong preference other than not being Melbourne red.

With regard to options, the only option I have high in my list of wants is I-Drive (as I'd plan to retrofit the NBT Evo system, and not having to source a whole new dashboard would be nice). - I would consider one without I-Drive though if all else was right.

M Sport package would be a preference, as my previous 330d was a SE, and proved to be a real ball ache to sell on when the time came as everyone wanted an m sport. (So, with respect, unless the price is right or the options are fantastic, I don't want to experience that again).

Small cosmetic issues such as small dents, stone chips and scratches are fine - these are 10+ year old cars at the end of the day, and most will of course have an odd battle scar or two. But I'm not interested in a Categorised car.

Not interested in an automatic unfortunately, as my F31 fills that role.

If you have something that looks as though it could be interesting, please send me a PM with a bit of detail about the car and how much you're looking for.

Thank you.

- George

DM replied, thanks Kev.

Unfortunately my gf is not keen on another touring being on the drive, so really limited to an e90. GLWS though, yours is definitely a well maintained example.
