Gorgeous 2008 BMW 335xi with rare 6-spd manual and desirable 'N54', twin-turbo-charged inline 6 engine. Car is equipped with Premium, Sports and Cold Weather packages. Has Bluetooth (for phone only), premium sound, adaptive headlights, two-zone climate control, rain-sensing intermittent wipers, power adjustable leather sports seats with power adjustable side wings, power lumbar, manual thigh extension, fold-down rear seats, ski pass-through, and sunroof. Car could be mistaken for a one or two-year old vehicle. Interior like new, backseat sat in a handful of times. Absolutely up-to-date on all maintenance, recent new front rotors and pads and alignment. All work during my ownership done by Bimmerworks in West Chester (records are available) with the exception of the HPFP replaced at 39k with the 'fixed' model by BMW Devon (so that I could avail myself of BMW's extended warranty for this infamous component, which BTW for this specific car, expires in mid Feb. 2018). You will not find a better running, 'needs nothing', properly maintained E90 AWD 335xi anywhere. Car has been garage-kept throughout my ownership and certainly looks like it was with the first owner too. We are those kind of owners. With only 51.5k miles it is one of the lowest miles E90 335xi's for sale in the country right now, regardless of year. Many share my opinion that the E90-92 cars are preferred over the current crop of F30 variants which many feel have been 'Buick-ized' by BMW in the interest of increasing sales. It most certainly has a true, in-line 6-cylinder the way BMW's are supposed to have, not some 'trying harder' turbo 4-cylinder that admittedly gets the job done but without true BMW character. And while the F30 335 can also boast a similar in-line 6 engine most agree it does not have the crisp handling chassis of the E90. This car has the heart and soul of a true 'ultimate driving machine', something that fewer and fewer of BMW's newer models can say. Car needs absolutely nothing. Runs perfectly, like new, at any speed. Cruises effortlessly at 100+ mph. No funny noises or vibrations, purrs like a kitten, but gets up and goes when needed, with power conservatively rated by BMW at 300 hp. Carves corners with alacrity and goes through any kind of weather. Owned and driven by mature adults; no abuse or tracking. Driven less than 5k miles/year since new. I searched for seven months before I found this car 2 ½ years ago with just 37k miles on it then. It's definitely an excellent 'time machine' example of the breed. This car, given its condition and miles is like finding a needle in a stack of needles, and so I’m in no real hurry to sell it; I absolutely love it as my daily driver, and so miles will continue to accumulate, albeit slowly. I question my sanity for even thinking of selling this car every day. If you want one of the best there is, a perfectly stock, well cared for E90 AWD with the ever harder-to-find manual shift and with no ‘kiddie mods’, this is it. I look constantly at cars and have not seen another like it in two years with this combination of comparable equipment, rare 6-spd manual and ultra-low miles. It was a once-in-a-lifetime find and I know it will likely be irreplaceable if I later feel I made a big mistake (strong likelihood!). Since I know someone will ask, I simply want a slightly bigger car and so am looking at E60 535xi's with comparable miles. It's probably the only car that could ever pry me out of this one. But if I don't find one soon that meets my needs, I absolutely will be taking this car off the market and 'staying put' with it, and probably for a long time, (or, at least until another juicy 5-series comes along)! Car is PA inspected through May 2018. NOTE: car does not have run-flat tires. The previous owner replaced them (thank God)! I judge them to be about halfway through their life, the car having just sailed through inspection after the brake job. And as I mentioned in the section on condition, the car is not 'perfect'. No car that's been on the road for ten years could be (even if driven at a rate only 1/3rd the national average). There are very minor, inconsequential imperfections almost not worth noting, that keep me from advertising it as being in show-room new condition. But trust me when I tell you that I am CONSTANTLY getting compliments from onlookers who are stunned when I tell them the car is nearly ten years old, and especially when they look inside. If you can find a better one for sale in comparable condition, with comparable equipment and miles for less money, buy it! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
