Quick Stats:
2012, Manual, 144k miles, Tasman Green, xDrive, Saddle, iDrive, Heated Seats/Steering, Harman-Kardon

Good things:
New brakes and discs, new DWS 06+, new trans/diff fluids, new alignment

Bad things:
1 key, rear-bumper replaced, minor driver bolster wear, minor dings imperfections.

I would post a picture, but haven't learned the interface yet. It's a great daily driver, and want it to go to someone who can appreciate and enjoy it.

Any thoughts on a fair listing price? Also, if this fits anyone's fancy feel free to write me.

I'd love to see some pics.

Just popped up on Facebook looks quite clean sport package with low miles!

Some additional information would help:
-M-Sport or Sport package (mostly for seats as suspension would be gone by 144k or should be)?
-Suspension - original or replaced? If replaced, when?
-Where has this car lived? In other words, rust?
-Oil leaks - valve cover, oil filter housing, oil pan? Any of those done? When?
-Cooling system? Any parts replaced - especially water pump, Mackey Mouse flange?
-Maintenance records?
-Any codes and/or warning lights?
-Pictures would help a lot.

Yours and my E91 (2010) are mileage twins - mine just passed 144,444 a few days ago.

Does it have sports trim/seats and steering wheel?
Love the green.
Local enough to maybe be serious about getting another one.

Thanks for the guidance!

Here is the best I know:
- The car spent its life in NJ (before me). It's been with me in MD for ~2 years. No rust on the paint or panels. Under-belly is clean for its age.
- No sport package.
- No records of suspension overhaul. Shocks, springs, and struts could use a refresh. However, the bushings look and feel replaced. I was chasing a noise and did new sway-bar links, so I looked hard for joint play. It was recently aligned at BMW too.
- No oil leaks. The seller inspected these and said they were addressed due to its cleanliness.
-Cooling system? No records before my ownership. Carfax showed regular service at BMW dealership.
-Maintenance records? I have records from January 2021 onwards. It is up for the PCV valve recall.
-Any codes and/or warning lights? No warnings. Check control is Okay. Comfort access works to start and drive but not to open the doors.

I added some photos. You can message me if you want larger resolutions. I didn't want to clog the thread.

Not surprised, good price for low miles, even with a salvage title and double hump. The black one is actually on my radar... if it was $5k or private party I could overlook the iDrive lump and pick it up. For $7k at a auction flip lot... meh. Looks like M sport front end. That plus the black plates says to me that someone cared about it and put some time and $$$ into it.

Okay, so a mixed bag. Enthusiasts will like:
-Its an E91
-Manual trans
-Exterior color and interior color
-Nothing leaking, no current codes

Things enthusiasts won't like:
-x-Drive
-No sport seats
-Double-hump/i-Drive
-Northeast car so it has seen winter salt
-Unknown history on some key issues

I don't think the suspension needing refresh will be a problem to an enthusiast - tires and suspension are something most of us want to change to our preferences anyway. On the other hand, it will be used as a negotiating point. I'm okay with the standard seats in my E91 as it really is my daily-driver/dog-hauler and I have a 128i and a Corvette for really spirited driving. My 128 had standard seats but I quickly swapped to sport seats.

Average buyers (non-enthusiasts) will be okay with the x-Drive and i-Drive, will like the colors, and will be clueless about most of the rest, except for the manual transmission, which will be the deal-breaker.

Your target market is a BMW enthusiast who has other fun cars and really just wants a daily driver but who knows buyers for this spec are limited so isnt going to pay anything insane. Or you could sell it to 1600Veloce and it will be on BAT in a few weeks and sell for an insane amount of money. GLWS!

The black 2010 does not have an M sport bumper.
It has some nice options.

It's been for sale for at least 6 months. There are a few more in the area as well.

288K!? They can't keep it for 12K more and celebrate 300?

Wow, what a spec. Manual Seats / RWD / Single Hump

GLWS. If I had the money I would be all over this. I want to find some manual Saddle Sport seats just for the seating position...

Agreeing with Terry, this is a fantastic spec! 6MT RWD, non-idrive, manual seats... probably weighs about 500 pounds less than mine

Thanks folks. It really is a great spec, and decent condition and mileage too.

I've not posted it for sale anywhere else just yet, as I figured someone who really wants one would be watching this thread.

ewrjontan · 10-31-2022, 11:04 AM

Ugh. I'd be all over it if I didn't just buy my xdrive 😢😢 good luck with sale man!
