Hi all,

I'm a long time E36 M3 owner/MaxBimmer/Bimmerforums participant, and just snagged an E91 to serve as the daily driver so have joined E90post. There's a ton to learn which is mildly overwhelming, but I'm enjoying learning as much as I can. The car is an '09 328i XDrive Touring 6-speed - Bluewater Metallic over Saddle Dakota (apparently 1 of 1 in Canada in this color combination).

Wish it was an M-sport, but these are tough enough to find so I had no desire to hold out for one.

Exhaust upgrade coming tomorrow, and OEM style 270's + fresh rubber on Saturday.

Fluid flush/tune up scheduled later in the month courtesy of RMP and then on to suspension..

Loving the car so far!

Congrats and welcome to the Canadian E91 club, wagon looks great and nice colour combo. Just curious how did you manage to find out it was 1of1?

One of the users on MaxBimmer - give him your vin and he can pull production data. I'll post a link when I get home.

EDIT: http://www.maxbimmer.com/forums/show...12#post1685512

That's the page where I posted my question and it was answered. The thread is insanely long as there are a lot of ridiculous/hilariously specific ("how many midnight blue on black 2008 535ix's with nav, sport and non-smoker package") sorts of questions, but it's useful for those whose cars are actually relatively unique.

Thanks for that info!
Here's a pic of 2 Mtech Wagons from a couple days ago. Makes me want to say Yin & Yang.

Thank you, looks beautiful. Annoyingly my e91 non x drive sits higher than that on 18". 🙁

Wanted to add a few newer pictures and maybe revive this thread - made a few changes since my earlier post: ST coils, 18" m-parallels, BMW performance exhaust, 135i 6 piston front calipers. Next up is fitting the 135i rear calipers, plus a 3 stage manifold and tune.

I approve this thread revival post!
The car looks fantastic.
What are the specs of the M parallel wheels?
Also, I noticed a couple of years ago you posted that you were going to put 270 style wheels on. How was the fitment of those?

The M Parallels are from an E38 (E39 bore size doesn't work), 18.x8 and 18.9.5, tires are 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. Fronts fit no problem - rears RMP tapped the fenders out a bit but just with a rubber mallet - no rolling. If the ride height was stock they'd have fit easily. For me, no rubbing at all unless I have a really full load in the back seat or trunk (i.e. 3 adults in the back) and then go over a large bump.

The 270's fit fine also, but I sold them last year. I think the rears on those are only 9" so they're an even easier fit than the parallels.

Thank you!
I'll be getting a square set of 270s. They are 18x8 and I am putting 225 tires on them, so I should be OK then. Do you have any pictures with them you can post?
