its a nice car yes. nothing to shoot your load over though iaf.I'd say you were missing something lol.
Rare car,
Mint,
Mileage
Fast,
Looks spot on.
Thanks! We're both super excited about the little person ...Wow!! Did not see this coming dave!
congrats on the wee one. We got a 3 series for the exact same reason although the touring would’ve been better!
when’s collection day? I also didn’t realise they put in an oil temp gauge which is good. I take it that was an LCI thing?
Thats the idea. Like the 335d before it, there is mild amusement to be had with a nigh on 400bhp 3 series estateI might be missing something but it looks like any other bm estate. 🤷♂️
If was an m car or alpina?
Nowhere near lol.Also interested. I’m thinking £13k
Yup, i'll likely fit the Intercooler/chargepipe from the e90 and go JB4, can still use BMW warranty then ... (all easily removeable)I like it, nice car.
Proper tunable if that’s your bag with subtle looks, what’s not to like.
Hopefully, although it currently smells of petrol occasionally. All the injectors are dry (mixture of Index 7 & 9 so some of those have been changed as well), so its likely that someone (BMW) has changed the fuel pump/regulator and not reseated the seal properly. There is evidence (as per below) that someone has been under the rear seats (middle belt not re-fitted correctly), so ill be checking that over Christmas.That's an excellent purchase Dave. Might even be reliable at that mileage!
Your old one was stunning! I often looked at yours and "Keith" off M3cutters as examples of how to do it rightVery nice, as a former 330i e91 lci manual owner. I know how difficult it is to find.
I woulc have paid Strong money myself it was manual. And j am not even looking for a car!
Well played.
I agreeNeeds more wood...
Lovely car, pretty much perfect.
Really?! I thought it would’ve been about 13 but I’m wrongThe 335 looks lovely, cracking spec nice find!
I’d say you paid anything from £16,000 to £20,000 you may of gone past the £20,000 mark but you’d really really want it..

Was advertised for £12k iirc. As if anyone is going to pay 20k for an e91 😅

Congrats on the little one and just lol at that TT, its a time machine. You must have had it as long as ive had the civic if not longer.
Nope, you’re thinking of a different car, this one wasn’t advertised for £12k as far as im aware.
I thought that might of been the case going by the prices of other cars! There’s a nice 335 d done 91k for £11,500!
Is that rear wheel arch easy to sort?
I love the combo of the light interior and sunroof? Beautiful. Such an understated package.
Yaaaas! Saw on PH and thought you'd have posted on here too. That's lovely! You've got to love how subtle they are for the performance. No chance I'd sell mine now.
LCI but pre-LCI paddles? Weird. Is that an early LCI thing?
I think so yeah, from my understanding, the paddles came in with the N55 on the 335i, so as this is an N54, it comes with the rockers instead. I dont mind them actually, once they're re-wried it means you can pull the right for up, left for down as per normal, but still go up/down with one hand if you want.
Had a go at finding out where the "fuel smell" is coming from over Xmas. Bit stumped now really, under bonnet/injectors etc are dry, both fuel pump and regulator are dry under the rear seat, fuel vent pipe (from the filler) has no cracks/rubbing marks, so the only thing i can think of is that some fuel has been spilt somewhere. There is a small patch in the drivers rear footwell that smells of petrol, so if the fuel pump has been out and they didnt dry it before that could be the route of the smell - especially if the car hasnt been used/just been laid up somewhere. Might just have to purchase 300 magic trees and scatter them throughout the cabin

Cheers for the suggestion, will check the equivalent part on the 335i when i go and collect it in FebFuel returns dry too? The little o rings fail and weep out too don't they? Might be just a D thing.
Thats probably what its worth realistically i reckon, £14-15k, then maybe £30k from HexagonI'm going for £14k, given the spec/mileage/no wind deflectors and spare HPFP in the boot...
Funny you should say that, a manual space grey appeared the other day for £8.5k, did have 120k miles on it though. On the flipside, whilst the manuals are fine above 30, i am getting a bit fed up of the low speed behaviour of the e90 335i, although i could always remove the CDV.Space Grey BMWs are epic, I’m biased though!
Great spec on this, just needs a manual swap for me to be a perfect family wagon.
Mainly as they simply didnt make very many. Howmanyleft suggest that only 25 LCI 335i Tourings were registered in 2008-2010 (20 in 2009) and they dont really come up for sale very often, some are N54, some are N55 as well. When they do appear, they are either really expensive, high mileage, and/or rubbish spec. This was great VFM, super low mileage & decent specLooks good!
What makes it 'rare' as such? Not wanting to sound like I'm being condescending - just interested. Is it the shape/engine/year of release?

Hopefully the arch can be pulled out ok, the paint isnt broken, just dented in. The paint damage is on the rear bumper, but as there is also some lacquer peal in the moddle by the boot opening, ill just get the whole thing re-done. Front bumper has a graze on the drivers front corner near the bottom, so that will need sorting at some point as well. Judging by the look of the nooks & crannies, the car has definately not cleaned in a long time, the amount of green moss and hardened tree sap/crap hidden in places is quite mad. Needs a proper going over with de-contaminents, clay bar and a polisher i think.

More pressing questions needed, like how many cars could I get on that drive/verge? 🤔🤔
Thats this one: https://cliosport.net/threads/buy-an-e90-335i-they-said-itll-be-fun-they-said.824651/Hang on, what's the blue one?
Just get a spare set of trims and wrap them in piano
Also as rare but it suits the lighter leathers IMO.
Anyone opting for light grey leather should put on a watch list. Peados.
He bloody will so dont blue balls him 🤣🤣🤣Want to buy another? 😂
