Well, if you’ve ever had that thought, then today is your lucky day, because I found !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
The good news is that it is a manual; however, that might be the end of the good news.
The owner decided to “improve” the interior with some gaudy blue vinyl. The replica style 167s don’t look awful, I just don’t think they fit the E90 that well. More good news is that the owner also modified the car before paying it off because the car still has a lien on it. Also, that CEL, yeah don’t worry about that, it’s just the cats. This is South Carolina, you don’t need those.
I’m tempted to see how much he still owes on this, but given the absurd price, I’m guessing it’s close to 10k.

So to summarize, the current owner has:
- only had the car 9 months.
- has a lien on it
- started some shitty mods to the interior, but didn’t finish them
- started some performance mods, and didn’t finish those either
- is blaming the sale on a child ( pretty sure this car has 4 doors and a back seat)
- whatever he did triggered a CEL ( but it’s fine, really)
Lol NOPE

“Know issues - When the injectors started to die they leaked gas through the exhaust and fouled the cats. It now has a CEL for the cats. I was going to just go with VRSF catless pipes. This doesn’t affect performance.”
....wut?

I know what he has too- a complete POS that is killing his wallet.
It’s not that the car is too small for his family, it’s that his wallet is now too small for his family.

Having no idea on the value of these, where should it be priced?

When my Explorer was running on 5 cylinders, it was flashing the CEL at me because damage could be done to the cat; it was not firing the #1 cylinder and dumping that fuel through the cat causes it to run really hot. Running it like that can damage it.
Now I doubt that what’s going on here, which means it’s probably the tip of the iceberg .

Given the miles and issues, I’d assume right around 7k.

These days tuners won’t turn of O2 sensors like they used to, so that’s another problem with running catless pipes.

I bet you’re right that he owes 10k on it - he priced it to payoff the loan, not based on what it’s worth.
He bought the car because BMW badge and did n’t know what he was getting himself into. Ugh.

For sell. To small.
TRIGGERED!
The real story here is the guy and his wife compromised on something “cool” that they couldn’t really afford, but it had a backseat so it seemed like a good idea since they had a baby on the way. Now they realize how expensive kids are and how they don’t have 2 hours a day to spend on modding the car, so they’re cutting bait and hoping for a break-even payoff.
Also, she is blaming him for the entire ordeal.

wheels are too big, I like the blue vinyl but wish it wasn’t a carbon fiber- ish look.
and the price is at least 3500 too high for a car with that many miles. I;m guessing thats just what the seller owes on it. They paid too much for it, and are now realizing that they cant afford the payments AND the maintenance .

a clean low mileage(70-80k), 09-11, 335i will still go for 15k. but with double the milea ge and I’m guessing two factory turbochargers I think E90M3 has the right idea. maybe less since those plug cats aren’t going to be cheap. from what i’ve seen theya re 400-600 a piece .

Why buy this 2014 Camry, when you can have a 2010 BMW for the same price?

Eh we’re all a little crazy here and prone to responding to ads like this. I’m getting close to replying to an ad for an E46 M3 with a broken SMG for $5k to see if he can limp it to the dealer for an inspection. If that’s all that’s wrong with it and it can be fixed for $5k-ish it could be a great deal. If.

Yeah, but you can put a new manual gear box in it for less than it’s worth, even if you don’t do the work yourself. Hell, if it’s in good condition and you could put a gearbox in yourself, then you’d have a hell of a car for cheap.
