Correct me if I am wrong, but :

E90 - 4 Door Sedan
E91 - 4 Door Wagon
E92 - 2 Door Coupe
E93 - 2 Door Convertible?

Either way, E9X is a nice car.. welcome!

This is the list. LCI models are the face lifted ones.

New face lift = LCI (Life Cycle Impulse), but the model designations stay the same...

Welcome to the forum.

I had a E91 325i (non-Msport) as a loan car. Thought it was a great car. I loved the shape.

It's nice to see Wagon/Touring E9x's on the forum. Please post some pics when you get a chance.

E91s have never been officially available as a 325i in Australia. I wish....

Was is a 323i perhaps 335iboy?

You have me intrigued.

I am sure the service manager said it was a 325i. I forgot my garage remote control in it when I handed it back. It was 6:30pm by the time I realised. By the time I got back it was 6:45pm. Only the GM was left on site. I let him know that I forgot my garage remote in the white E90 325i wagon and he went and got it out of the car for me. I must admit I never went to the rear of the car to check.

One thing that I did notice though was the car had no nav. It seemed odd to me. On an E92 business nav is standard on a 325i. On other E90 320i loan cars that I have had they have been optioned with innovations package and had business nav as standard. It also had the same dash as an E92. The digital display on E90's I have had, used different fonts for their numbering (OBC, odo, etc)

The E91 was also the first loan car that I have had with no sunroof. So with these options missing and the different dash, I assumed it was the base model with no options fitted at all. It definitely felt stronger than an E90. Had it up to 170kmh on on the F3 (at night, no traffic). Felt, very smooth and stable, like it wasn't even trying. I was pretty impressed.

I am in at the dealer again on Friday for the first scheduled brake bleed. I will check it out then for my own sanity.

E91 only comes in 320i, 323i and 335i. Definitely no 325i here in Australia.

+1
Looking at some old Australian price/option lists confirms this. The only change to the above has been the recent addition of the 320d Touring.
