Thanks for your input! Will definitely be an upgrade over these 16s however not a fan of the 225/40 tires it comes with. Would much prefer a 235/40. And I've been looking at a few sets of 270m in 18x8 that have that winter tire size...

Stock (non-sport) - the camera angle and winter wheel/tire setup may be filling up more of the wheel well.

One of my interests is weight management / weight reduction.

Why?

Colin Chapman said, "adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere" and "simplify, then add lightness".

My experience agrees with Chapman's perspective. In my case, not so much to go fast (this is still a wagon after all...), rather to enhance and enjoy the agility of the E91 platform.

My wagon weighs ~3200 lbs with a half tank of fuel. It feels light and agile and different (in a good way) after dropping around 300 lbs. And it feels great driving the car whether commuting or tracking.

The Point:

I've had a conversation with Alex at S2R about fabricating a CF plug for an E91 panoramic roof delete. S2R has a documented history of fabricating well-fitting, quality CF sunroof delete plugs for the BMW community. The motivation is reducing 60 lbs of weight from one of the highest points on the car - the roof. I also had a similar conversation with a CF fabricator locally in Seattle. Both vendors are willing to support this project for a minimum production run to make it worthwhile. The numbers vary from 4 - 6 units.

S2R E92 plugs retail for $400. Alex estimates the larger size and materials needed to fabricate a plug for a pano roof might run an additional $100 or so, making this weight loss project tremendously attractive from an economic and performance perspective @ $8.33 / lb ! This metric is at the extreme end of the range.

S2R

My Proposal(s):

1) I'm seeking an E91 owner with similar interests, located around the LA region to volunteer to be the test mule for this project. The volunteering part means visiting Alex for a session to dimension the mold for a plug. I would do this myself but live in a different part of the country.

2) I'm seeking a list of like-minded E91 owners to express interest in a product like this. I will use my car as the test mule for the CF fabricator here in Seattle. I would like a half dozen or more owners as an incentive for this vendor to commit to the project.

Thanks!

Options and how much did you pay? I've been on the hunt for a clean E91

kissay · 03-05-2019, 12:46 AM

Just picked this up back in January. I have since removed the tow hook and the rain guards. Dealer photos were nicer than mine though.

328i 109k at time of purchase. $8500 after taxes, registration, and dealer fees.

It's got sport/premium/cold weather/xenons. It's RWD 2009 with 104k on it and I picked it up for 9200 before tax, it was 9600 OTD.

It needs a water pump and an alignment, I also just picked up new wheels/tires off Craigslist since the alignment kinda trashed the left front.
