Happy 20th to the E90

The E90 was launched in March 2005, making it officially 20 years old now. The base price of the 2006 330i was $36,995 USD (or $57,000 in today's money). Here is the press kit from its release: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/usa/a...language=en_US

May 22, 2006. Original owner. Convinced me to give up my E30 after 18 years (the E90 is that good).

FU miles... 426,362 as of Tuesday this week. 4 deer hits. One attack by my pup (on drugs). Astonishing.

Fantastically well built as well. And I regularly get compliments on it!

The E9x platform is the pinnacle of the three series IMO.

Thank you!
Bought the wife aBlack 325i also in 2009, prior to the 330i which was our introduction to BMW. Had to have one for myself, so I managed to find the 330i

My youngest son bought a e92 328xi a few years later. After a few years, he was wanting something different, so I purchased it from him. Had three e9x's in the stable for awhile.Traded both of these in on an X3 35i for the wife
Do miss both of those cars, especially the 328xi.
