- 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.

TZiem i have the exact same car. only difference is, i don't have idrive. in my biased opinion, the best color combo offered. tasman green really looks great in person and get a lot of compliments on the color alone. good luck brother

What's the market like now for 6MT LCI Msport wagons? I'm contemplating selling... I just quit my job at BMW to take some time off with my two toddlers, so selling the car could help support that. It's in fantastic shape and has been garage kept.

2011 LCI 6MT Msport wagon
Space Gray/Black Leather
120k miles
I-drive
X-drive
Comfort access
heated seats
adaptive xenon headlights
mods in signature

I think the only option that this car doesn't have is the adaptive cruise control.

Random thought: I'm not sure why so many enthusiasts are against the I-drive. I've driven many new cars at work, and I think the old CIC I-drive is still great. I'd much prefer it over a "single hump" spec. Also there are so many options to swap the screen and have android auto/carplay for a couple hundred bucks, while still retaining the factory system as well.

ewrjontan · 11-03-2022, 04:05 PM

I ended up getting a single hump and wish the car had i-drive. It would have been way easier for navigating menus and such. Couldn't care less about navigation but literally everything else would be better.

Not my style, but for those looking for a bagged (air ride) E91 for a low price:

Would be good with a few used parts/bumpers.

Not affiliated but seems like a decent deal for a manual example.

The listing starts great and progressively gets worse.

How do you need a fuse panel? I didn't know what a JBE was, so looked it up, and it's related. Water intrusion, maybe?

Best looking wheels on the e91 IMO! I am a bit biased

Damn, you're making me want a e91 now! M sport just hits different on a e91, or maybe it's those 513's. Really wished I had a e91 today when I had to haul back 2 front seats in my e90.

Yeah, I've read of another car that went through it, water leaks from under the windshield/around the cowling/hvac fresh air intake can get onto the JBE & fuse panel. Much easier to replace if you pull the whole dash (which isn't as bad as it sounds)

Yea probably water.
I had to access the rear of the fuse panel and jbbe a while ago for pdc retrofit. It was not fun.

I don't think Android Auto/Car Play is doable in MYs before 2011. If it is, I'd love to know how.

I too like the iDrive in my 2010. Nav updates are cheap and easy, everything works just fine, I like assigning common phone numbers to the control keys for BT calling. While I can get nav through Google Maps of course, I like having a map screen to show me around if I'm not in an area I know. The whole system is less fussy than our newish GTI's and way easier to deal with than my 2019 911's.

vilord · 11-07-2022, 11:51 AM

I have android auto/car play in my 2009. It's an approx. $200 box that plugs in between the CIC and the display. You long-press one of the idrive buttons and the AA box takes over the display and blocks the CAN signals for the idrive controls from getting to the CIC, so it stays in whatever mode it was in.
Audio feeds through the aux input on the back of the CIC (through the quadlock cable) after enabling a couple of items in coding. Controls are through the idrive.
There are slightly more expensive (though not significantly) options where everything is built into a different screen that you swap in, that often adds touch screen too, but at least when I was buying it the audio quality was worse in the screen swap versions.

Another option is to do a full NBT Evo swap... I did that with my 2007, and still have all the parts in a bin. It's quite a bit more involved, and quite a bit more expensive, but the end result is an entirely factory experience... Mine came from a wrecked 2018 M4. But android auto doesn't work in NBT Evo cars, only carplay, so it wasn't worth the hassle for an android user like myself to do it all again.

Would you part ways with the wheels? I'm thinking of going 513M or 359's. I'm on ST coilovers as well.

I recently acquired my e91, how does one avoid this? Cleaning out the leaves in the drains? replacing the cowl perhaps? This is something I would hate to have to deal with.

Serf27 · 11-07-2022, 03:10 PM

The idrive screen is good because you can access vehicle info.
The option for the upgraded android screens makes it better to have the second hump imo.
My 09 e93 has the android screen, plays through aux but it has base audio so it sounds ok.
E91 with logic 7 playing through aux sounds good so the android screen would sound just as good.

This one uses the fiber loop connection and sounds a lot better. I have it, it works pretty well. A few nitpicky issues.

What issues?
The android screen I have is not perfect either but it’s still an upgrade.

Adding this a non idrive car, I’m assuming you’d need to retrofit the idrive and then add that box you linked?
