This one popped up in Raleigh, my first E90 was a Sonora Metallic sedan. I hated the color at first, but it really grew on me. It never looks dirty and really pops when its clean and waxed.

The price is really right too, 109k, RWD, Sport Package, Auto. I want to get it but my wife would murder me hard, especially since I already have a sport package RWD wagon.

A lot going for this one. Car looks very clean in and out. Single hump for those that prefer it. RWD sport package plus xenons. I agree the price is right and the dealer might come down a little.

Gotta hand it to the people nitpicking a ten year old used niche car for the lack of comfort access as their must have option.

Excellent car PostModernHero should have zero problem finding a new home.

haha agreed! Would definitely not be a deal breaker. Transmission type and AWD vs RWD are my deal breakers at the moment. I can live with one or the other, but not having both is my line. (Preference AWD, Manual)

I had CAS on my X5d and it was a nightmare. Somehow it short circuited, all the electronics in the vehicle went down. Brought it to stealership for examination, and when they were diagnosing the issue the handle overheated and melted the handle. Luckily it was at their shop when this all happened and was all covered but nevertheless a headache.

This.

People should be thanking him for ordering it in the first place. There’d be one less M Sport on the road...

Absolutely hilarious to see some folks expecting to find a particular color combo with specific options on the second hand market a decade after production ended. I thought I was nuts holding out for a unicorn, but these specs are actual unicorns because they don’t exist.

You’ll get top dollar. I nearly listed my enthusiast spec 128i on BaT a couple years ago but a serious buyer came along while I was going back and forth with the BaT folks. It’s a great experience for buyer and seller since the auction format produces market value for both parties. Good luck!

They're the 270M and are staggered - one of my favorites for e91 as well. They were typically spec'd as a winter wheel for e9x M3's from what I've seen.

Thanks! They look great on the wagon.

*shrug* everyone's got their preferences.

I would (and did) take a non-sport CA car over a sport non-CA car.

I use CA every day, and it is one of the harder retrofits.

I guess you can say I’m nitpicking but I already own an e91 msport and I opted for options over colors on my current car. I’m searching for space grey with same options and when it pops up I’ll snag it and list mine. But yes comfort access is a deal breaker for me. I’ll keep my current unicorn. Thanks.

Thank you, 86Zed! No complaints on my treatment here... I know the right person will come along. I'm just glad to be in the enviable position of owning a 9 year old car that is still worth 1/3rd of it's original MSRP. I am flabbergasted...

If someone needs something specific looked at, I'm about 10 minutes from this place.

Twice what I paid as well, but good price for the right buyer.

RWD, manual is the rarest (i believe)

My thought is... not likely someone would spec manual and also retain xDrive. And that wouldn't happen automatically unless the car came from Canada...

[JupiterBMW]

I have to say, I'm a little offended at some of the comments here. Some of you demand RWD, 6MT, and M-Sport... Some of us want more of the options... I've had 5 BMWs with comfort access and none of them have been a problem (even my E70 X5M which was a horrible platform as a whole).

What's the big deal if we simply mentioned that it doesn't have CA? I didn't say the car was garbage because of it. In fact, I have plans to see the car on Thursday, and I'm VERY excited. Yes, its a drawback for me, but if the car is otherwise perfect for me, I'll make an exception.

Everyone chooses what a unicorn is in their own minds. For me, its a fully loaded Bluewater car, RWD, AT. For the rest of you, its M-Sport and 6MT. Ok, great. Why do we have to shame people for what they like??

/rant... Sorry, just hit a nerve.

Did you not see this one?? Its been available for quite some time now.. Car Gurus shows it as overpriced, but I'm guessing that's because its priced due to being a true manual... Either way, hope it fits your spec!

I find BaT and how it has changed enthusiast car markets to be a polarizing topic, but I respect those who show up, buy the car and enjoy it!

Yes there are a lot of unique desirable options and each buyer has their own must-have or deal breaker items. There are only so many of these cars still running on the road in good shape and even fewer up for sale. Lots of window shoppers hoping to capture the too good to be true deal while the internet has rendered that a scarce commodity.

This very thread has brought awareness to both buyers and sellers and undeniably driven prices upward.

Just don't get people started on the double vs single hump dash discussion

You and I think that the idrive screen under the second hump looks good.
Other folks like a single hump with a tablet stuck in the middle.
And other folks don't want a screen there at all...
everyone has their preference. I agree it would be nice if people didn't tell us we were "wrong" for having a different preference than them.
