Clean accident history, but maintenance history is less than stellar. Just not much there so I'm hoping the previous owners did service somewhere rather than skipping altogether. There are a couple BWM visits but that's it.

I do wish this had the tech package but oh well, less to worry about.
my criteria were sedan and 6 speed manual. (which was a huge pain to search for because so many DCT's are listed as "manual")
prefer slicktop and didn't really care too much about other things as long as car was in good condition

i looked at several dozens online ...
emailed about a dozen
drove 3
the one i bought was noticeably better taken care of
clean inside and out
had a car knowledgeable friend go to check it out with me
and then take it to a shop for a PPI

have you driven it?
how does it feel?
just plan on doing the rod bearing change as insurance
i couldn't really drive my car until i did the bearings
just too stressful thinking about the "what if's"
Yep same criteria here, sedan and 6speed. Everything else is gravy.

I did get to drive it and it felt good; smooth and strong. Tight, no rattles, etc. clutch felt good, no chatter. Heard a little noise in the rear end in the parking lot during tight turn. Dealer told me they would address. Probably needs diff fluid change. I did notice a previous diff fluid change in the maintenance records.

This is the 3rd e90 I've driven; not recently, the other 2 were driven several years ago. They all feel similar so I take that to mean there isn't anything apparently wrong with it at the time of driving.

Decisions decisions!
