New E91 Owner

HUB · 04-14-2018, 11:22 AM

Hello everyone,

New to the forum and first time BMW owner.

Picked up a 2006 325xi (6 speed). Only 61k on her.

Just wanted to introduce myself and look forward to being part of the community.

Thanks,

HUB

Congratulations on the find! 6MT e91 are hard to find much less one with that few miles.

tlow98 · 04-14-2018, 11:59 AM

Nice!

HUB · 04-14-2018, 12:10 PM

Thank you. Was going to look for different rims and tires. Current rims have new winter tires. Then look into a roof rack carrier setup. Don’t plan on doing much more than that at this time unless somebody suggest something.

Most of my time goes to my project wagon.

Thanks,

Welcome to the E91 club. Looking good! Nice having a low mileage one.
Here’s my 325i, soon 120k miles and runs like a dream.

fits perfectly, makes nearly 0 noise.
Be sure to position the front bar ahead of the end of the roof glass or it may hit. They sit real low to the roof.

just hauled a tent like a thousand miles round trip on mine with no issues.

Thank you! Those look very nice. Way cheaper on Amazon then the main site. Haha. Will see what carrier works with those.

Thanks,

My project car is a 1968 Volvo 122s wagon. B230FT swap, T5 trans, 8.8 rear, and MS3pro to manage it all. Detailed build thread can be found here: https://forums.tbforums.com/showthread.php?t=309446

The 325xi will haul parts for this beauty. Haha.

Thanks,

nsjames · 04-15-2018, 04:41 PM

nice.

big fan of the ms3. I made a 64 P1800 run not too long ago for a girl. She had the carb tuning tool in the glovebox. I missed fuel injection. Dual webbers is not fun.

the whispbars work fine with my cargo carrier that has the u bolt style clamps and plates.
They have a square channel with a rubber piece in them that can use whatever yakima fancy mounts they sell are.

Nice! I had a lot of turbo Volvos in the mid 80s when BMWs were slow

BimmerNugget · 04-15-2018, 05:52 PM

Great find! Especially in 6mt and low mileage. Can you post some interior pics? Thanks.

e90yyc · 04-15-2018, 06:20 PM

Niceeee. Love the color too - same as my 328 haha...

I've always had a soft spot for wagons.

You're going to love it; you probably already do.

Lol. Let’s try to keep it above the belt.

The 122 will only have about 300hp. Just something fun to drive around with. The issue will be not modify the E91. Lol

Thanks,
