Manual E91 back at Enthusiast

They won't even quote a price at this point.

Right!?!?!?

Also crazy to think you could have ordered one of these new, drove it for 8 years, then possibly got all your money back.

The E90 interior has not aged well.

I had one of those with very low miles and returned it at lease end.

It's a nice car, but slow, quiet/boring, and no LSD. It handled very well though.

It didn’t start off all that great either...

I agree it was too slow. The B58 is a much better engine, even if turbo (and maybe because turbo). If I'd had my current engine and LSD in my E91, I might not have sold it.

N55 drops in easily, but drives worse.

Also, you can add a lot of power by swapping the manifold. BMW really crippled the 328 to make space for the 335.
