Finally part of the E90 330 6MT club

I've been a BMW man for a while and have always lurked around various E90s, but never actually pulled the trigger...until Friday morning of course.

I came across a 2006 BMW 330i 6speed with the sport package. Grey exterior with the dark brown interior. 116K miles, one owner, and a ton of dealership service records. I've never seen such a clean car and I'll be sure to do my best to continue with the same religious upkeep as the previous owner.

There are a few things I would like to address in the near future however. First thing is a wheel bearing. There is that loud groaning noice around 20-25mph coming from the front. Doesn't really bother me because my commute is mainly hwy and I can't hear it at those speeds.

Second is the dreaded water in headlights issue. Water got in and fried the adaptive light module. Luckily this is being repaired by the dealership I purchased from. It rained as soon as I drove off with the car and later that day I noticed the drivers side headlight was filled with water. Few hours later the adaptive headlight symbol came on. I opened the hood this morning and noticed the rear cover falls off with the slightest touch so im sure that where the water is getting in through. Hopefully a new cover will be the cure to this issue.

Last but not least I believe I have a bad motor mount, however im not sure which one. Startup sounds pretty rough in terms of vibration ad sometimes at idle I can feel the engine all throughout the cabin.

Pictures coming soon..it's been real gray and nasty out.

Congrats. I used to own a 2006 330i AT. Great car. I sold it to my father-in-law. The car has been in our family 8 years so far.
