WTB E90 335i N55 6MT m sport
I’m after a unicorn here. I have been looking for this car for a few weeks now but I have been unable to get my hands on one. I frequently check all national sales mediums with no luck. Just sold by E46 ZHP so now I am daily driving an E30 in the winter so I’m motivated to buy.
No beige interior Less than 120k miles preferred Anywhere on west half of US / willing to travel $100 finders fee if anyone finds one local |

Yeah. There was one for sale on here in Florida but that is 3-4 days drive from me so it was a bit much. And another popped up in Utah on the 23rd but the dealer, and I called the same day it was listed on true car. But apparently someone had a deposit on it already and now it’s gone. Sold before the dealer even put it on their own website. :/

I'm not the OP but IMO, slightly overpriced given the presentation of the car. If he has service records, all the maintenance needs have been taken care of, good history, etc. I think it's on the high side of the normal range. FWIW, my friend just paid $15,500 for a similar car due to a few needs the car had. Cracked paint on the rear bumper, worn Chinese tires, etc. but same year, same trans, same color, etc.

I've used uship.com for transport twice now, both good experiences. With the current market, I think a nationwide search is a must. My car fits into your categories, going up for sale soon, but I'm on the east coast.

Thank you for the recommendation for shipping. This car is rare but it’s not that rare where I can’t find one out west. However shipping is not entirely out of the picture but the price has to be right to spend 2k on transportation.

The bigger challenge is the logistics of paperwork, but it's doable. |

The furthest I have traveled to get a car was 8 hours up to Oregon to pick up an 87' red E30 with 260k miles. Driving back in the rain with no wipers was a little dicey, but it was a steal. So I'm just waiting around for one of these cars to pop up for sale. |

That's my car. I just shared it on this site too but all the details are there.
It's only 4 owners, for some reason as sometimes happens, Carmax counted as an owner per carfax. So it was a new car, then bought after a trade-in to BMW, then my previous owner bought it from Carmax, then I bought it from him. But true, not ideal versus a 1 or 2 owner car, I get it. The OFHG is dry, I'm surprised too and I've done them DIY myself before on an N52 so I'm no stranger to it, but in this case I chose to leave well enough alone. Oil pan gasket is not showing anything - a couple others have asked about that, and it might be worth me crawling under and pulling the belly pan off but dang if it isn't in the teens and 20s this week out here. Defensive, I suppose I get how it could come off that way. But I only want to defend my reasoning and make sure it's understood that I'm not just blowing things off because I'm cheap, or hiding lurking problems.

That is interesting about the owners but it makes sense. I didn’t mean to come off abrasive on my comments for the car, mostly just reiterating the comments section on CaB. You have every right to be defensive, it is your car you are selling haha. I hate selling/buying cars, never a nice process. It is great that the engine is dry on the original gaskets, shows routine service but I just know it will need to be done soon enough. Especially if i buy it, California’s dry heat accelerates the degradation of anything rubber. GLWS. I’ll probably be in on the bidding |
