How rare are N54 E90 LCI M-Sports..

Bagelfast · 09-02-2012, 06:55 PM

I barely see any e90 lci m-sports on the road.
And when i do, from the sound of the exhaust , there n55's..

So anyone have any idea how long did e90 lci msports with n54 were available ?

project335i · 09-02-2012, 07:04 PM

I believe they changed to n55 half way thru 2011. I have a late build 2010 e90 335i and it has a n54 and rather that then the n55.

VTECaddict · 09-02-2012, 07:20 PM

If anything, N55 ones are rarer.

Pete Schweaty · 09-02-2012, 07:22 PM

I have never seen an e90 m sport with either motor.

All 335s, excluding 335is, are as follows
07-10, N54
11-present, N55

Not very rare, it's a 3 series. If you can't find an M-Sport car then just buy the bumpers and do it yourself.

How did you make that conclusion? Just interested to know why. As seems both engines were in the E90 LCI's for 1 year. And i think before 2010 was over N55's were being put in E90 LCI, so cut the time shorter for N54's?

I live in NY and work in NYC, and i rarely see them, so i was thinking to myself how rare are they in general.

Not sure, like i mentioned, i work in NYC and live in NY, i rarely see them at all. I see more M3's, M5's then i do E90 LCI M-sports. Met a few owners and they were N55 equipped. Got me thinking, especially when i was at a AMG meet and a few guys said they never seen M-sport like my car.

N55 · 09-02-2012, 08:59 PM

I have only spotted 2 pre-lci 335s with Msport here in Pittsburgh. Seen a few LCIs but unsure if N55 or N54...

2009 N54
2010 N54
2011 N55

But M-sport actually wasn't an option until 03/09 production, so it wasn't available for the full run of the 2009 model year. Still, there should be more E90 LCI M-sport with N54 based on the model years. Of course this would vary depending on the sales figures for each year and specifically on the take rate of the M-sport package, but we don't have that data at our disposal.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Same here.

PR3CI5N · 09-03-2012, 01:18 PM

The N54 E90 LCI 335's are definitely rare. I was lucky enough to come across a 2010 at a dealer in SoCal so I purchased it the next day

and got rid of my 07 E90 335i. I've been searching for 335's for my buddy who wants one and I couldn't find any 09-10' E90 M-sport and it made me realize how rare this car is. It's funny you posted this thread cause I think several people have been thinking the same thing. Every owner that has one is holding on to it I'm guessing because the car fcking rocks!! I plan on keeping my car around in my garage for many many years to come.

MMMCOOKIES55 · 09-03-2012, 01:42 PM

Is there any website or anything that says exactly how many are out there? Just curious cause I own one

335REGULATION · 09-03-2012, 09:57 PM

I've seen a couple, but I do consider them rare...specially with a manual. I've only seen one with a manual and I bought it =)

Their are 2 in your area: 1 at Monrovia BMW a 10 white with 31k miles / 2nd at Steve Thomas 09 silver 27k miles . You just have to look everyday and you will find them on Autotrader.com

328i M-Sport · 09-04-2012, 12:20 AM

Not as rare as a N51/52 328i with m-sport package and a manual.

MCoupeInsanity · 09-04-2012, 01:34 AM

I have one. The minute I saw one with M-Sport, I-Drive and a six speed... I jumped on it.

Ptuh Ptuh · 09-04-2012, 09:51 AM

Here's my baby, '09 E90 LCI M Sport Package with 15k miles black on black.

Ptuh Ptuh · 09-04-2012, 09:54 AM

It's N54 also

autobahnsoul · 09-04-2012, 12:19 PM

Rare as a hen's tooth, particularly with a manual trans. Doesn't BMW publish production numbers after a vehicle is no longer offered for sale new?

sathoro · 09-04-2012, 12:52 PM

Pretty rare, which is why I insisted on getting one with m sport

No they publish them after a certain number of years, not sure how many years but a friend was telling me about how there is some law were they are forced to publish the numbers after like 10 years or something. I could be totally wrong though.

rondocap · 09-05-2012, 07:43 AM

It's funny: at jmk bmw in nj, I've gotten like 4-5 loaners and they were always 335ix 2011 m-sport cars.
