None

Item Interest

Looking anywhere in the lower 48.

Must have:

• 4 doors
• N52
• 6MT
• RWD
• Clean title
• No accidents
• Not SULEV
• Slicktop
• Single hump
• Production date of 12/2009 or later (if you're not sure, send your VIN)

Strongly prefer unmodified or minimally modified.

Not so worried about miles or other options.

Don't care about color.

Not trying to lowball you. Also not trying to get ripped off, but I appreciate these cars and want to be fair to you.

Third party PPI at my expense.

Will want a third party PPI.

I have an E92 328i 6MT ZSP single hump, production date 9/2009 for sale. About as clean as you can get. Only non BMW mod is a magnaflow exhaust. New pilot sports, refreshed m3 suspension. New starter alt battery and IBS harness. All the normal needed maintenance done.

Nice. Need 4 doors, though.

GLWS!

What is the reason for limiting to Production date of 12/2009 or later?

So I'm actually open to some discussion on this. I know what my priorities are but I'm sure I don't know all the relevant facts.

I know the N52 has had a bunch of updates over time. As a matter of course, I want the latest possible. I haven't found a comprehensive list of the updates but 12/2009 is the latest one I've seen that might be significant (spark plugs).

Looks like the steering rack and fuel pump got updates in 2010 but I'm not aware that those would have implications for reliability, and I had to draw the line somewhere as this is already a unicorn hunt.

Bump. Happy New Year!

Feb bump!

Unless the VIN decoder I used is wrong, that's almost none of what I'm asking for. Sorry.

Can't be mad about the hustle, though.

Good luck.

Just tried the VIN you posted in another decoder and got the same result. AWD, auto, not slicktop, not 12/2009+ prod date.

[IamFODI]

The thread title says RWD. But I see that I didn't repeat that in the post, and evidently I should have, so I added that. Thanks for (maybe inadvertently) bringing that to my attention.

No idea why the VIN decoders say auto.

Thanks, but I still have to pass on the car because it's not what I want on multiple points. GLWS though.

New to the forum but always scouring the classifieds. I was looking for the same thing, found and have started the process with a used car dealer in Georgia. I think I'm going to back out because I found a clean 11 N55 that's just too good to pass on. If you are still looking and want the details let me know. I had PPI at local bimmershop and willing to share

Sincere thanks, man. Getting the ball rolling. Do you have those pics?

Here you go

[IamFODI]

That's awesome. Thanks again, man.

Here's a burner email. Any chance you could send copies of the PPI? I'll chat with you further from there.
