    That E91 is calling my name - trying to arrange to see it Wednesday. If anyone here has any experience with that gen or engine, some insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I loved my E90. But it started to nickle and dime me to death. As long as it was well maintained and maybe a CPO I'd say go for it.

    Bonus points for the touring!

      What kinda issues did you have? I don't know anyone who owns one - so the more info the merrier.

      Driving to look at a 2008 328i auto sedan tomorrow - 90k miles.

        Turning headlight motor - $1300

        Passenger seat airbag sensor - $900

        Sunroof skipped track and needed reprograming.

        Electrical gremlin began rolling all my windows down whenever it felt like.

        Mine had some prior damage unknown to me that caused some issues. Mechanically I took it from 18k to 80k with just a new battery and a coil pack to keep it going and I enjoyed every minute of driving it.

            General consensus on the E90 forums is the N52 is pretty much bullet proof, just general maintenance and some oil seal issues with valve cover and oil filter housing.

            Scheduled a PPI at Prestige for this afternoon - on a $10k purchase I figured it's worth the money.

                  I bought a car. It's nice. Has lots of buttons that I don't know what they do. I did figure out how one on the floor works. I named it my "smile" button.

                          It was nice of the dealer not to mention they only had 1 key fob until I was literally walking out the door.

                              I'm assuming they're a dealer only item? I'm sure they're giving them away...

                              I'm in the same boat... Zimbrick told me $250.

                                Turner Motorsports sells H&R Sport or Race spring sets for $240 each.....

                                Owned the car 12 hours and know that.... Just saying.

                                    Coils for sure, the shocks will be worn soon anyways.

                                      A: It's a daily.

                                      B: It's a nice car - so it'd need nice coils (see "A")

                                        I'll always wanna be lower if I do coils... And my wife will surely be driving this occasionally so approach/depart angles will be completely disregarded by her.

                                        Bilsteins, springs, and wheels. DUN.
