Decent mileage for an ‘07, an actual I6 3.0 engine and a stick? At that price, I dont even mind the Old Man Tan color.

And from the era where the dash wasn’t full of useless shit. That HU might even be replaceable!

Looks like it’s in Maryland, and unfortunately, doesn’t look like they’ll transfer it. So, if you want it, looks like you’ll have to book a flight to Maryland, assuming you don’t live close to it.

I probably don’t need a third manual bmw wagon in my driveway haha

I actually really like the tan leather. If I could have bought my M3 new, that would have been the color I choose for the interior.

I really like all the colors you could get on the pre-LCI E9Xs. If for no other reason then the fact they’re differnt than the usual white/grey/black.

FIFY

I might need a third manual E9X. I mean, I’ve already got the sedan and the coupe, need a wagon and convertible to complete the collection.

I did, I’ve been adding something after E90M3 for a little while now. I usually leave it up there for a month or so and then change it. I used to be “E90M3 drives an E90 M3 with the license plate that reads E90 M3.” I haven’t driven my M3 in something like 10 days, so I figured this name would be appropriate.

A white, manual 2011 E91 with a tan interior is what I would want.

That’s exactly the color combo I wanted for my M3; however, those are really hard to find. So, I got a grey one with a black interior. BMW does do a really nice white though.

There you go. Spot on.

My E46 is on loan to a friend and after one day with it he was searching Craigslist for one of his own haha

Is that driver’s door straight?

But yeah - what a great thing if I could rent it for a weekend ...

Indeed it is, if this was an LCI wagon I would be imploring someone to buy it.

This is a trick question because we all know the answer is all of us.

I think it’s straight. Might be the lighting or something.

I can understand how you live without a car, I did it for 5 years during college, but there are sometimes when all I want to do is go for a drive. This would be something fun to rent. There needs to be a turo for manual BMWs.

E90M3 > RPM esq. 11/19/2017 at 21:33

Considering I already have 2 manual E9Xs, I might as well add another one to the stable.

WilliamsSW > E90M3 11/19/2017 at 21:34

Exterior color is meh, but I love the interior color - it’s the same as my E46.

No, you already have an AMG. Let the commoner have something nice for once!

I would have bought one if I could have found one. Finding a manual E92 was hard enough. I’m trying to get back into oil, aka oil money. If that happens, I might have to get an E91 and an E93 just to have one of every E9X.

I kind of like the gold, if for no other reason than the fact that it’s differnt than white/black/grey; even if BMW does do a fantastic white.

There is a test for renting manuals on Turo ... it’s checking a box. I could rent some ridiculous shit on there, but if the owner wanted me to drive them around the block to prove I could use a clutch, I’ve no problem with that.

does anyone else think this gen 3 series interior looks cheap?

E90M3 > Steve in Manhattan 11/19/2017 at 21:39

I would have no problem doing that as well; however, little do they know, I would be using that car to teach someone how to drive stick.

I more meant there needs to be a site for people like us who have a thing for manual BMWs.

Tan leather, yes, 1000%.

I meant the champagne/gold exterior.

After having spent considerable time in a 3 series of this generation, I would disagree. A 2017 Sentra looks cheap, a 2007 E9X BMW does not. Also the materials they use are all pretty high quality. The F3X, on the other hand, is not as good as the E9X in either regard,

Fair enough ... and my days of teaching stick are over. Taught a lot of GFs, and that sort of thing is done.

I don’t hate the gold, just don’t love it either.

If I were in the market for a 13k car right now I’d strongly consider that.

Solution: get in market for 13k car.

That’s the general idea of being in college, yes.

E90M3 > sm70- why not Duesenberg? 11/19/2017 at 22:52

Well, when I graduated college, I thought I’d be in the market for a 20-30k car. In fact, I bought a 50k car. College educations can be awesome.

Ah but you see I am not studying to be an engineer or in fact anything to do with math.

So I will likely be in the market for a bus pass.

I’ve put 19k miles on my 328i since March. I drive a lot. That would cost a lot more in the M3. It’s more of a money issue than anything else. The M3 is better, but the 328i is cheaper to drive. I had to drive my M3 to work a month ago and I realized why I drive the 328i every day; it’s just not worth it to drive the M3 on the highway every day. That said, I think I’m going to take the M3 to work tomorrow. I need to stretch its legs.

Gold is a shade of brown, so this is basically the perfect oppo car.

UGGH. Why is it not Arctic Metallic?

Sonora Beige is nice though.

It just needs a Black or Terra Dakota leather interior. That Cream Beige Dakota Leather has to go. Ditto with the pre-2009 iDrive.

Come to think of it, just gib non-iDrive automatic Arctic Metallic 325i pls.

I like the beige. I will agree it would look better with a different exterior color.

Come to think of it, just gib non-iDrive automatic Arctic Metallic 325i pls.

Here you go.
