WTB N55 E9x 335 manual

bornfromjets · 03-11-2023, 12:16 AM

I just sold my fun car (2013 MazdaSpeed 3 big turbo build) and am looking for a replacement.
Fully new to BMWs, dabbled with Benz and Volkswagen so familiar with the german builds
Looking for a E9x N55 with a manual
(Did some research and would prefer the *slight* increase in reliability of the N55s plus the single turbo life over the built bottom end and power ability of N54, saw N55s PWG have rod bearing issues but seems to be related to oil starvation/tracking the car which I won't be doing, please let me know if I'm going about this the wrong way haha)

Happy with either E90, E92, E93 as long as it has the N55 and 6 speed manual
i vs xi doesn't matter, no prefs on iDrive or M-package, mods are okay, mileage preferably under 110k

Tried to buy three different ones locally but they all got sold out from underneath me recently

Located in 80016 but happy to travel to drive back or ship here, would be paying cash

Let me know if you know of a car or have one to sell!

I appreciate you reaching out but I really am looking for a manual. Got other cars in the stable that are auto. Best of luck!

Thank you all for your feedback and interest. Quick update on my hunt: was able to score a 2011 335i iDrive with the M-package and 6spd manual
Only had 93k miles with some light mods (DP, intake, charge pipe) with a clean title and no accidents, no leaks from what I could see
and the best part, only cost me $11,300!

(I'm not sure how to embed photos but its a lovely Bluewater Metallic on grey leather interior and I love it, working on replacing a cupholder and passenger door handle as it's sticky)

Can't wait to drive it and put my personal touch on it
