After owning two e91 6MT m-sports over the years, my current f31 is my second. I'm sure a fair number on this board have owned e91 prior to the F31...curious which wagon is preferred.

I like the tech, LEDs and extra space in the F31, but honestly the build quality/solidness, steering feel, THIRD PEDAL, and (I think) exterior styling with shorter overhangs and a steeper rear hatch all contribute to a superior e91 that just looks sportier even when standing still. The N52 sounds better, but is much slower no doubt...probably more reliable being NA over the long term as well.

Problem is, a lower mileage m-sport e91 manual is pretty much unobtanium these days, as demonstrated by every 6MT example that comes across BAT. You pretty much need to find one that the owner has no idea what they have - which is tough, as most have landed under enthusiast ownership by this point.

Ok stepping off soapbox...just curious if any other f31 owners have thoughts on this.



My last e91...




The one that started my obsession w/ the brand 10 BMWs ago...
