Description
2011 BMW E91 335i M-Sport
E91 LCI featuring the N55 engine
57,500 miles
MOT March 2027
Features some nice spec options including adaptive bi-xenon headlights, servotronic steering, front & rear parking sensors with visual aid and rear window blinds
Gearbox serviced @ 53,500 at Banbridge Motor Works (Colm Hyland)
Rear upper middle control arms also replaced along with Oil, Filter & Coolant
Previous owner had genuine BMW valvetronic motor (and associated gaskets/bolts), valve cover gasket, spark plugs, new VRSF charge pipe, front anti roll bar bushings & clamps, front anti roll bar drop links, BMW water pump & BMW thermostat fitted in the 1,500 miles prior to me purchasing the car at 51,000 miles
Engine & gearbox perform perfectly, very smooth without hesitation or clunks. Plenty of life left on current discs & pads, as well as the tyres, which are matched Uniroyal Rainsport 5's.
The car has Bilstein EX dampers fitted which make use of the original BMW springs. When buying the car I researched these as they appear to have only been offered on the Japanese market and seem to be equivalent to UK market B8's. There is perhaps a very slight drop over the standard ride height (more noticeable at the front than the rear) with these fitted. The damping these shocks offer is night and day difference to the standard fit items. No crashy / unsettled ride here as would usually be found in an M-Sport car of this vintage. The car also has uprated H&R anti roll bars fitted front & rear.
Inside the car is extremely tidy, with very few signs of use. It has a Droid UK Apple CarPlay / Android Auto module fitted, which integrates with the original screen and iDrive controls which works really well.
As the car was only imported from Japan in March 2025, there is none of the usual rust or corrosion which would be expected of a 15 year old E9X by this stage of it's life. MOT man recently commented that it was one of the cleanest they have seen in a long time. I have the CarVX report for the vehicle detailing some of the history in Japan and all the UK history.
Probably one of the best available in Northern Ireland currently - definitely incomparable to all the usual high mileage 330/335d more readily available.
