BMW Mechanic owned and operated, this car has been a labor of love with no oversight or maintenance overlooked. This is a tastefully modified high horsepower example of the only year of the E90 with the desirable N55 motor & receipts for all modifications/repairs. Well over 15k has been invested into this vehicle in the past two years. Any technical or non technical question I would be more than happy to answer.

Vehicle is priced to sell, I will entertain reasonable offers. Car runs and drives perfectly. It does have a rough transmission shift under normal cruising and will most likely need to be replaced or rebuilt in the near future.

N55 w/ Pure stage 2 turbo @ 18psi making roughly 450whp, turbo is good for 550whp @ 24psi, less than 2k miles

Is the mileage still around 96k? This is a steal! If I didn't just pick up my 335IS I'd be all over it. How do you like the applecar play radio? I'm looking into getting one and it looks like they're getting popular!

There's a few things that don't make sense here but if all checks out this is a great buy. Really nice car.

- There is no M performance diff for these cars. Is this an M3 diff? Mfactory?
- Index 12 injectors are for n54. Were all 6 injectors still replaced? That's not a usual failure for an N55 but possible of course.

Wonder if a trans service has ever been done? The trans may be savable, just in dire need of some fresh fluid and seals.

I was told its a M performance diff when i was installing it, not sure how to backup that claim but either way it is a true OEM LSD i can 100% confirm that. I was big into n54 so i assumed n55 injectors were also indexed either way they are brand new, i had one leaking over night causing a longer crank in the morning. Trans has been serviced(just fluid) and a bigger trans cooler, i assume its not too happy with the increased torque from the pure turbo. The trans also has 99k on it so i am sure thats not helping much. I wanted to manual swap it but i need to focus on other projects.

Mileage is now 99k. The apple car play has been one of my favorite upgrades by far, it makes the interior feel modern and not 11 years old

I'm not trying to shit on this post at all, I like the car and it's priced right, but there is no OEM LSD for these at all. M3 diff won't fit without a whole subframe swap and custom driveshaft so you very well might've been scammed on the diff.

Fair enough, I can 100% confirm the diff is OEM with a LSD (i opened it up before install). I was also confused on where it really came from but i can't complain, got it for free with zero miles on it. Zero mods required to install it, bolted right in. Maybe its from a different bmw chassis.
