Anybody with e91 6 speeds?
I have a 2006 e91 325xi 6 speed on 18s, wondering how common lowered wagons are in the community.

I see more stupid Lambo’s, McLaren’s and Ferrari’s than e91’s. Makes me think of trading in the Civic I use for Uber for a e91/6MT !

There's quite a few E91 owners on here. Very cool car indeed!
Dream car: E91 M3 conversion w/ S85.

There were way more XI wagons made in general than RWD models.
Anyways, I used to have one. I hurt my left knee and it took longer than I expected to heal so I sold it after a couple months of not driving it. I miss the crap out of it. |

Did not know the Xi:rwd ratio. I guess that makes sense considering BMW went with the AWD only F31. Kinda makes me sad tho

If they had wanted to, they could've really made the xDrive into a Audi fighter (read: "Sporty"), but instead they decided to chase the soccer mom crowd that wants a CUV, not a wagon. Last edited by rothwem; 10-18-2018 at 08:38 AM.. |

I love sports cars, but need 4-doors, and like the utility a wagon offers. I also cross-shopped other wagons to the e91:
Volvo V70R (6-speed P2): was too crowded at front passenger well. Volvo V50 R-Design: it's a lot of money for a Ford Focus. I'd rather have a Focus ST, which I do not want. Audi anything: S4 Avant V8 timing chain guides?! ugh. The A3 e-Tron did pique my interest. Saab 9-3 AeroX: this one was close, but they are hard to find in manual guise. I ended up with a 9-3 Aero, and thus already did the Saab thing. BMW 535Xi: MT ones of these are extremely rare. Even SAT-optioned ones are hard to find. CTS-V Wagon: $50k+?! No deal. Plus that D-pillar is gross. Dodge Magnum: Serious contender in V8 guise, even without the MT MB E55 AMG wagon: now we're talking! But that price, and no stick shift, and if you really want a durable MB wagon you want to get the Dodge Magnum. The also-rans: OG Mini Clubman S, Jetta SportWagen, Subaru Outback 3.6R. In the end what sold me was RWD + MT, plus less drivetrain complexity (no turbos to stress over, no AWD to address), without breaking the bank. A lot of the above commanded premiums due to the wagon guise, so the inflation for the e91 is not unique in the marketplace. Mine has been a gem. It's got a few dings on it from the previous owner, but those are "sanity spots"- if I had a perfect car I'd lose my mind every time my kids walk over the seats or the cat leaves paw prints on the hood. Not to say I don't take care of it, as I do (to wit, one of the first things I did was spring for the detail + CeramicPro coating last year). The fun factor is there, provided you aim for the twisty bits instead of the freeway drag any time it is available. The utility is there; just last week I did a Costco run with my two-year old in tow, and came home with a grocery cart full and a 9-foot artificial Xmas tree (without strapping it to the roof!). the next day he and I bombed to the top of Mt Diablo for a father-son trip to look for tarantulas. It's functional, stylish, and fun, right out of the box. I have smile every time I am piloting it, and look upon it with fondness whenever I step out and look back at it. No car has given me that much joy since owning my first car 25 years ago, and that says a lot right there. Last edited by Thorin; 10-18-2018 at 09:51 PM.. |

Yup! Not lowered, not sport package, and I have zero interest in lowering it or otherwise ruining the superb ride/handling balance.

I also think it's asinine how each series keeps getting bigger and bigger. Might as well just create a new series if you want to change the size of certain cars... oh wait.
