CLEAN TITLE

This is a true original manual 6MT Msport E91. No swaps or funny business. I believe the only option this car is missing is the adaptive cruise control. I am a 35 year old BMW engineer, so the car has been well taken care of and not beaten on. I bought it from my best friend who is also an engineer.

Upgrades:
330i 3 Stage Intake Manifold (with newest DISA valves) and OE Tune - This makes the engine the same as a 330i, and gives you much more power in high rpm
ST Coilovers
335i Brake Conversion
5 series shifter kit (gives shorter shifts, feels more engaging/less sloppy)
CDV Delete
Kidneys painted to match car
OEM BMW Cross Bars/Rack with user manual
NEW uninstalled CURT 1.25" tow bar/hitch receiver that I'll throw in (think it was $250)
Charcoal Filter Delete
New exhaust tips uninstalled (had planned to do the PE muffler mod and have new tips installed)

Options:
Comfort Access
M-Sport Package
Rear Window Shades
Cold Weather Package (heated seats, fold-down rear seats w/ passthrough, headlight washers)
Premium Package (Leather, BMW Assist/Combox/Bluetooth, Auto dim rear- and side-view mirrors, power seats with lumbar and drivers seat memory, power fold mirrors, digital compass in mirror, Programmable Garage door opener - homelink)
PDC Park Distance Control
Logic 7/Harman Kardon Surround System
IDrive with Navigation
Adaptive Xenon Headlights
Aux Input & Bluetooth
BMW All-weather Floor Mats (originals available)
Continental DWS-06 tires with good tread

May include:
6x BMW 351M Wheels (F10 msport wheels) - 19x8.5 ET33 (x2), 19x9 ET44 (x4)
ECS 10mm spacers
DWS06 Tires- 2x 225/40/19 (mounted on the 8.5" wheels), 2x 255/35/19 (unmounted)
Currently have Firehawk Indy 500's on the 4 9-inch wheels for a square setup, but those tires are almost done. Mount the two DWS06 tires on two of the 9-inch wheels and you have yourself a staggered setup.

REASON FOR SELLING: I had planned to keep this car forever, but my wife wanted an SUV for the family car instead of this (bought an E70). This is the most valuable vehicle I have, and we need the money to purchase some land.

Maintenance:
Click for Maintenance Spreadsheet

This car is in great condition, but has been used as a daily driver so it’s not perfect. It has been garage-kept the vast majority of its life. I bought the car from my best friend and old college roommate (man that was a long time ago). He owned the car for around 5 years and had bought it from a BMW dealership where the original owner had traded it in (Florida). It has been very well cared for during his and my ownership (adult engineer owned, driven, and maintained). You can see the list of maintenance items in the link, but the highlights are:

-Windshield is new in last 20k miles
-ST coilovers with new mounts and other wear items (original suspension included)
-Continental DWS-06 tires
-Suntek Carbon tint 25% on fronts & hatch; 5% on rear & sides
-335i brake system conversion with new pads and rotors
-OFHG Oil filter housing gasket
-water pump, thermostat, expansion tank, hoses
-belt and pulleys
-hatch struts
-voltage regulator
-spark plugs
-filters
-all fluids changed (P/S, Diffs, Transfer Case, MT)
-CDV Delete
-clean VANOS solenoids
-clean MAF sensor
-Maps and Combox software updated

Cosmetic Condition:
The paint is in great shape with no major damage or rust. There are minor stone chips in the paint from normal driving (hood and front bumper). There is one larger chip on the front left of the hood that is the size of a fingernail, and it's been filled back in with a Dr ColorChip kit (included). The Space Grey paint shines beautifully after a fresh wash.
Rear bumper has some scuffs but no major damage
Left side skirt has some scratches that could possibly be buffed out. Looks like something dragged along it on the highway. (pictures of damage can be seen in the full album)
You will see a couple incidents on the Carfax which were parking lot and parking garage low speed damage. These happened during my friendÂ’s ownership and the minor damages were repaired at a BMW dealership. I've inspected the car very very closely and can not tell any difference in paint color or differences in body gaps (and I used to work in quality with final inspection and rework!).


Mechanical Condition:
The engine runs strong, pulls strong, blows no smoke when revved hard (see video), and does not burn any oil between changes (seems magically unrealistic for a BMW). The 6 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and the clutch still grabs perfectly. There is no slipping or bucking felt from the transfer case when accelerating hard either. All electronics work as they are supposed to, and there are no service lights on in the dash.

I actually work for BMW at the plant in SC, so I am quite familiar with BMWs. I take extreme care of my vehicles and this car is a prime example of that. I have a clean title in hand that is free of any liens. If youÂ’d like any additional specific pictures or videos, please ask. There is nothing to hide with this car. I will continue to drive the car a couple times a week to make sure it doesnÂ’t sit too long or start to feel lonely

Extremely nice. Honestly, keep this over the 335? Won't depreciate as much. Otherwise, GLWS man!

Ugh, I know it's a great car, but I just finished modding out my 335, and it's obviously way more fun to drive with the N55... The extra utility of the wagon isn't really needed anymore due to X5... If I could easily plop the N55 into the wagon, I'd totally keep it.

Sounds like a great project for you!

[Duck360198]

Really does look good.

Why didn't we do our trade???

[ppointer]

Really nice example. I don't think you're far off with the price prior to corona. You may have to wait a bit to get that last couple of thousand, IMHO.

Thanks for that, it's really difficult to price something like this since it's so rare. Hoping to get it cleaned up and take some pictures and videos today. I can wait out the virus panic if necessary to get a good price.

[E91WAG3N]

6MT's pull all the money on BaT, might be worth attempting to list there. GLWS, looks great in Space Gray!

[4 Doors]

I agree, get rid of the 335 and keep the wagon. Or BaT listing.

Last resort, or first resort: Throw the N55 motor into the wagon!

[drummr8]

bump, make an offer if you're serious and cash in hand. Had a few nibbles and a test drive, let's keep it goin!

Good point, I'll get on that. Wife has had me on house projects non-stop recently so no time for pictures

[drummr8]

bump, pictures and videos finally added. Car is a little dirty - of course the one day I drive it to work, it storms later that evening

[FrankMurphy]

Beautiful looking car, but why does the Rpm counter start at 7 and come down as revs rise ?

Unless this is a right-hand drive, the video is somehow reversed.

[drummr8]

Hahaha yeah I meant to comment on that. My phone somehow reversed the video and I couldn't figure out how to flip it the right way. Sorry about that

Edit: fixed it with inshot

[Shift_Vas]

Really like that zhp coupe in the background

me too... regret selling that thing

[CSI]

Damn, I really like this. I just can't bring myself to pay the e91 tax. Hope she goes to a good home.

[drummr8]

added some interior pictures - let me know if there's anything specific you want to see.

Also, I'll include the OEM BMW crossbars/roof rack with the sale. I'll likely end up throwing in a brand new CURT hitch/tow bar that I had bought, planning to be able to haul bikes. I think this cost like $180.

[drummr8]

bump, price updated. I also just submitted to BaT - let's see what happens.
