That E91 build

[That.e91]

Follow my on insta “@that.e91”. I’m chasing my goals to build a e91 335. It’s not available here in the US, and I have a love for the series. The goal is 1 step above OEM+. Constantly looking for Opinions, good and bad of paths I’m taking. Some things are logic based, some are pure preference.

I'll reply, just joined. I'm on Insta at N54wagen. I built my N54 E91 a year ago. Just finished doing turbos (just replace them when you pull the motor, don't be cheap like me) Good luck, I did a thread on E90post like a few others.

Welcome, and good luck with the build! What motor is hanging in that picture? I don't recognize the head?

Ummm.......that's an N54 motor. Do you even wrench?

You should be banished.

Welcome. That will be a nice sleeper wagon..... if you keep it low key. However you do it, it will be killer.

Very little. Guess I haven't seen too many pics with the valve cover off.

@TheFixer Though, threads like this and yours are giving me the courage to try biting off more serious work than intercooler, chargepipe, and coils/plugs Big investment though, my tool collection is in its infancy

That's a naked N54..... hanging from chains. That's some serious S&M motor porn right there.

You can do it!

There's a tiny tool box in a corner somewhere in here that I started with. I bought an n54 e60 and three years later I have three rolling tool chests filled with tools.

There not that bad, a only thing I won’t touch myself is internals on my motor. Too much money to risk a engine not as balanced as possible

That’s the goal, for the most part, nothing should look aftermarket. Even with hood popped

just up-badged the wagon for the time being currently running a 335 drivetrain and 3 Stafe intake/stock tune, so only a semi up badge.

I picked up this interior a while back and going to retrofit. Authentic e90 M3 interior. It was a great deal but the drivers airbag went off and there was damage to the drivers door card. For the short term, I was able to fix the door card to where it’s barely noticeable by anyone. Long term I will be on the hunt for 1 door card. The seats are pre-LCI. However I picked up a set of E92 LCI seats, going to be combining/using the best parts from my 2011 e91 328, 2009 e92 335, 2008 e90 m3 and 2012 e92 m3 seats.

Nice find!

I've been looking for a decent black interior for my e60 for a while now. Can't find anything near me that isn't all messed up already.

I don't know what it is with second and third owner bmws where people just abuse the hell out of the interiors.

Had to pay to get it shipped across us, condition is great beside where the car was t boned, normally I would purchase a “better” set but as you know e90s are extremely rare is set on good condition and color/features

I’m in the middle of retrofitting a 335 exhaust and e91 m sport rear bumper. I’m hell-bent on running this diffuser style pictured. Even though it’s custom-made for a e90/e91 m sport the factory bumper MUST be cut to make this diffuser fit, which killed me, on my brand new bumper, freshly put of paint
