My 2010 6MT Slick Top M-Sport

TylerJamesInc · 09-17-2017, 04:00 PM

After selling our beloved '07 TiAg 335i 6MT(with Sport/Prem/Cold/CA packages) 3 years ago, we finally got another E90.
This time we decided on a 328i(3/4 of you just clicked "back"

).
I don't have a budget to repair/replace turbo[s], and don't want to deal with replacing water pumps every 50k, and inevitable HPFP replacements.
That said, we were still open to a 335i, if the perfect one popped up. Being pretty picky, and needing a car ASAP, the options were slim-to-none.
It HAD to be a 6 speed, HAD to be a sport, and COULDNT have gray interior. We really wanted prem and cold weather, but it wasn't an absolute must.

Came across this '10 328i 6MT M-Sport, and it only had 40k miles! It was a color we loved- Space Grey- and had the interior we also love- Saddle Brown. However, it wasn't equipped much past that. I got off work early, and we took a 3hr trip up to Seattle to purchase it. It was virtually flawless. When we were on our test drive, I looked up to admire the Anthracite headliner- ?!#%?! IT DOESNT HAVE A SUNROOF?!?!. My wife was definitely disappointed, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. Less roof weight= lower COG, and a solid roof means more rigidity- so its all good.

It got me wondering though- is it common for the m-sport's to have no sunroof?
I also was disappointed to find out that the base model(BMW "professional") stereo completely sucks, and it's not pre-wired for Bluetooth.

Coming from the 335i with Logic7, this was a major bummer.

I have a few questions that I would love if you guys could help me out with.

Does anyone here happen to know about retrofitting power folders to a non-prem car? I've looked up as many threads on it as I can find, and can't find info on wiring. If I get the passenger door harness for a power folder car, will I still have to do more wiring to the footwell module?

Also wondering if I can use my shadowline m-sport mirror base, and retrofit in the motor(s) from a standard model LCI power folder. I'd hate to have to find m-sport/shadowline power folders 😬

Lastly, it has the USB package, and has the MULF2 module with BT logo in the trunk, yet doesn't seem to be pre-wired for Bluetooth- am I missing something?

Thanks for reading, and I'm so damn happy to be back in an E90! I'm making my own PE clone muffler this week, so hopefully that goes well.

I wish I could access this forum on Tapatalk- going to another site to host images is annoying!

Thanks for reading, and thanks for any help!

Funny - I just sold my 2010 328i M-Sport 6MT without sunroof.

Like yours, it was fairly base model after that. The stereo sucked. I bought a Tune2Air Bluetooth adapter to play music, but there was no phone/calling connectivity. Loved the car, very lightweight (3260lbs) and fun to drive.

Congrats on the slicktop, while I love my gigantic panoramic sunroof there's no doubt it's heavy as hell, and every time I throw it into a corner I can feel the weight throwing the top of the car around!

Nice car! 2010 was the beginning of the de-contending, so yeah if you didn't spec the option you didn't get it or the wiring.

Ctuna has some great suggestions.

The 82dsp is available through several sources as a plug and play or semi plug and play kit. Bimmertech is one of them Unexpected Creations is another. Also MusicarNW.com may have a solution for you they are in Portland Oregon. Pre Wiring stopped in 09 but it shouldn't be that hard to add antenna's and reprogram it. If you want streaming you have to have a combox and idrive or use and aftermarket device.
