I'd be all over this if it weren't for the tan interior. It is priced right though, in LA this should sell very quickly. I bought my 06 325i with 218K miles on it for a few hundred less and had to fix a bunch of minor things, and in the end spent around what you're asking... and I haven't done the engine mounts yet.

I was recently looking at a black on black 328i 6MT (I think it was a 07 328i) in Santa Barbara with over 200K and the guy was asing $3000 and wouldn't budge. Still a good price for an excellent car. I just can't do tan interiors, and preferably I want sometime with much lower mileage even if I have to pay more upfront. One high mileage E90 is enough for now, I want a fresher one that I can keep driving longer.

Do the motor mounts. It's not bad (price) if you can DIY or take to an indy BMW shop (easy under 5 bills, cheaper DIY). Also a great opportunity to upgrade if you want, I've heard the 335i mounts really tighten it up (didn't do that on mine).

They are one of those things that slowly goes, and you don't notice until you replace. I've heard they should be done every 100k.....I did mine at ~230k. Won't need those again!

Honestly, don't even care if this car sells. Bought a 228i w/ auto for commute. Keeping an E90 w/ naturally aspirated straight-6 paired with 6sp manual and a hydraulic steering rack isn't a chore. They don't make them like this anymore.

Now you're really tempting me. I *still* want this car. I'm slowly becoming more open to the idea of tan leather.

Funny you mentioned the leather.....I just hit up the driver's seat with 8-1 diluted Super Clean with a brush and towel, results were astonishing. Looks almost new. Going to finish off the rest of the interior Friday.

Not sure I even really want to sell it now....looking at a Bilstein B12 w/ Eibach suspension and an ECS suspension refresh with some new 17 or 18's fitted with Michelin PS4S tires and just running with it. Motor is spinning great and the new 3 series isn't even offered with a manual transmission.

Headlight restoration and 8:1 diluted Super Clean interior job are both complete. Looking pretty fresh.
