Which roof box is that? It looks like a nice size width wise.

Ordered from costco.ca. $500, great deal. It kept disappearing then reappearing on their site, but I was able to place an order while it was there.

Dig the cargo box so I got one too.

Nothing too much different than a standard E9X vehicle. Here is a good reference point: How to buy a used E9X BMW 3 Series https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1517476

Besides that, the hatch is obvious different. Check for rust or clogged sunroof/roof drains out the back (top left and right corners with hatch opened). Great all-around vehicles though!

Thanks the car does have a few issues that i will need to fix first been trying to figure out 5f3a transfer case internal fault, i have replaced the transfer case pump but the light still comes on, also has a stalling issue when taking off at a red light happens sometimes not all the time.

What sort of fuel economy are you guys getting? I grabbed a 2011 E92 328xi a few months ago, and the fuel economy is atrocious - 12.6 L/100km and I don't have a heavy right foot - compared to my 328i RWD E90. Hell, my wife's M2 gets better overall averages with the same type of driving. Even my mother's X3 M40i is better.

Also, the car feels slow as shit lol. IDK if this is all due to the added weight of the E91 plus AWD system or if this one needs a serious tune up, maybe new Vanos solenoids...

Even cruising on the highway it's still barely 12.0 L/100 km.

My E91 328xi 6MT average is 12.6L/100km (exactly as yours, haha!). That is mostly city driving. On a highway, I can get under 10L consistently.
Yes, these are old school NA 6-cylinders. Any new direct injection turbo engine will be much much better. That was the whole point behind the development of DI FI engines.

To address the "slow" part, get a 3-stage manifold and 330i tune. It transforms the car.

We just got back from 6000 mile trip to Arizona.

Computer said 23.5 mpg including intensive interstate driving at 80-95 mph.


Yes the N52 combined with Xdrive and touring is sluggish.

Looking for a 2010 335 for an N54 swap.

My reported mileage is similar. I find that if i run with the AC on I get in the 12s, with it off I can get low 11s l/100km. Also big tires have a definite increase.

Our 2016 X5 35i gets similar fuel economy...

That'd be fun. Don't forget the brake swap too.

2 cool cargo carriers...

[MT441]

Oh man I love me some wagons! Just picked up my first BMW and my first wagon last week! Will post some pics of it soon!

[StuKatz]

After some mods. Lowered, dual exhaust

[Nick.B]

It all stsarted when Rock Auto had the Msport bumper on clear-out for $169C.

But like most things on BMW's the costs soared

Msport Bumper Delivered $500
Painted Black S Metallic $300
OEM BMW Defuser, bumper brasckets, tow hook cover etc: $1300
Ebay exhaust tips $200
Amazon Flowmaster mufler: $100
Custom welding: $550
an expensive mod, but given that the these cars are soo rare in NA (and no 335 versions) I think it's worth it.
