100% agree. Best bmw touring made. Handles great. Quick enough. Cheap to run. Look great. Better looking than the newer ones in my opinion. A future classic without the reliability issues. In the next 10 years these will be a proper head turner i think. Great video mate.
Totally agree about the auto things, I love driving a manual but in stop and go traffic it’s a pain and not something I necessarily want to deal with in the mornings when I’m dragging myself to work.
I have a very early e91 330d MSport (late 2005), it still drives beautifully and has been pretty relaible. I will only sell it when it becomes expensive to keep on the road.
E91 are goated. I have a rare one, 325D LCI with the M57. Facelift car but with the pre facelift engine. Stage 1 240bhp goes well and it’s immaculate Le Mans blue with 763M wheels you’ll probably see it on the Facebook pages lol
couldn’t agree more. I own one and live in the states (California) and it’s the best daily there could be - gets a lot of thumbs up too. Mine is like yours, LCI, no idrive, sports package and have put 17k miles on it in 6 1/2 months! love every bit of it.
Nice video, thx! I have a E91 LCI 318d (N47) touring with 458000 km and still drives super, came a few weeks ago from Verona, performed so well on the autobahn with hours over 170-190kmh I bought it with 147000 km, besides the normal maintenance things, like brake pads etc. I had to change the clutch, 2 suspensions (rear) and the EGR valve, totally €2000 in 8 years, for the major things, I think it's not bad at all. Best car I ever had in 23 years!
Own a 318d e91 lci (upraded timing chain) love it. About to upgrade the cic to android and a sensible remap. Going to respray my alloys satin over space grey. Its my family wagon before I upgrage to m3 touring 😅
My 2010 318 d has been absolutely fenominal ! Its on 272k miles and still going strong ( yes it has has some issues) leight control module faild £60 repair at krug bmw wheel speed sensors × 2 rear £100 and a cluch £800 but thats it ! I really cant complain 😅
Great video! I only have one question. If you gotta choose between the f31 and the e91 as daily which one do you prefer and why? Personally i think im gonna go with the e91 because i love the exterior looks, and i have always loved the E-series. (I also think i prefer the e91 because its a bit older and i have always loved older cars) But what do you think?
I love my 07 e91 the back seat is always laid down and my two labradors fit great in the back! I daily drive this car and im getting ready to do a ls swap on it and have the ultimate daily driver!
Great review. I'm looking at buying a 2009 320d se touring with 102,000 miles. If the timing chain hasn't been changed yet, should I be worried? How long do they last and how much is it to have replaced please. Thanks in advance.
Gorgeous weather and nice car mate! I used to have a 2008 325d Msport saloon...Phwoar it was nice and very reliable. I am now searching for an E91 320i automatic
I love them i had a 330d touring se and i now have a325d touring m sport and 2 320d touring m sports, 1 as a donor car for my 325 as its the same colour , and another i swapped the lemon interior from for the 325d
Lovely car mate i own a E90 320d m sport ive had it 7 years and its the best car ive owned. 2 kids now so i need to change over to a touring model cant decide between E91 or F31 definitely E91 is value for money in 2023 😊
Great video. I’ve had my pre facelift auto 325i touring black on black. And yes it’s stunning and looks great it’s practical with family and imo much nicer than the successor although I do quite like the latest model from the back. Absolutely brilliant car for the money. Had some issues with injectors (injector cleaner every 500 miles and running premium unleaded every time is essential), emissions and EML ongoing but getting through MOT okay. and that boot glass latch coming open! Have you got a link to the part?
Interesting and informative video. I have owned for the last 10 and a half years, a 2011 E91 tourer 335d M sport in black with pana roof, and high spec, which has only just done 60,000 miles from new. In all this time I have never seen another one on the road and I have looked. Do you know how many there are out there?
5 years ago after 3 years of owning I sold my 07 e91 330xd. It was an absolute shitbox, basically everything except timing chain and turbos broke down, endless electronic and sensor issues etc, glowplugs, injectors, whirlflaps, intake issues, alternator issues, coolant and oil leaks, overheating… bought it used with 150k km from a BMW dealer .. thanks god I got rid of it
as long as you get one with only a couple owners, with accurate service history so you can tell what you might need to do maintenance on. i got mine from 1st owner, i love it for what it is, my favorite car i’ve owned and i’ve never owned anything other than BMWs
what is the general consensus on the 318i petrol, ive been looking into them recently as a daily cant seem to find to much posted on them on youtube. (also those black rims on black body look insane!)
I’ve got one - I had to get used to the noise of rear wheel drive at first - when I first got it I thought their was a handbrake shoe issue or possibly a problem with the slip differential - but it’s just the noise they make and now I’m so used to it I don’t hear it anymore! My suspension shockers are staring to corrode (advisory on last MOT) and my timing chain will want replacing soon but otherwise I haven’t had any issues at all - really cheap insurance and not bad road tax. I’ve got 2011 318i m sport business edition - had her about three years now! Flown through every MOT thus far! Slight corrosion on boot sill as I think there’s a bit of a design flaw (water trap) a lot seem to go there, co check that! Otherwise body and engine bay are really clean... I love it and now I have rear wheel drive I’m never going back, it’s so much better! 👍
im thinking of getting the e91 (touring) as a daily rather than having the e90 (saloon) as a daily even though i do like the e90 but i think it would be more better to get an e91, and my cousin has one and it looks so good XD
I wouldn't go as far as to say these are 'the best' affordable daily. I own an LCI Msport e61 530d (M57 engine) as a daily beater and they are far superior than e91's. I paid 3.8k and it's spec'd to the max. Faster, bigger and cheaper.
A 5 series is nice but they are no where near as popular as the E91’s! They are heavier, a bit more clunky and less desirable to look at. Non the less great daily’s also 100% but the E91’s in my opinion top them 🔥
@@SOCIALLYDRIVEN Yeah that's fair enough, my point is that they're slightly cheaper and you get a lot more for your money! And when modified nicely they look the dog bollocks. But your point is valid and they're both awesome cars 👍
My E91 is a manual, unfortunately. But It's my baby and I absolutely love it. I need to put some M sport bumpers on it and upgrade to xenons because the halogen headlights are trash.
I just got one it's siiick here in Canada it's impossible to find m sport so mine has base bumpers with cinnamon interior. Tasman green exterior it's my 4th e9x and first e91 I'm loving it so far
Ive got the E91 320D M Sport with the M47 engine, absolutely love it, got it at a great price and have spent more doing up and it was well worth it.

Mine is pre fl, I must say the LCI looks better overall but both look great.
The EU engine options are insanely good, all 3 Liter Diesels are mad good

Do you have original timing chain? If not at what km reading it was done?
Love my e91 but we all need more vids on this lovely motor good video mate
Ive got a 320i Touring wich has done 51k miles and I absolutely love it! I feel there’s no reason looking for another vehicle this will do just fine
How I feel about my x3. But I do want a smaller car and these look amazing..

Had an e91 320d m sport touring , 2007 with 174k on it and pulled like a train , best shape of and bmw , I’m going back to 1
Love that!!
I used to have an e91 320d SE i did around 30k miles. Best £3k I ever spent as it is seriously low maintanence.

Weird. I’ve had two 330d wagons with over 300k and 400k and never had major problems. You must have just gotten unlucky
I have a 2011 328i touring with a N52. Still running strong today with 160k miles. Just do preventative maintenance
Musta drove it or modded it like a
Chunt……
@@WiresFanDrew This made me cackle "Chunt" I'm gonna use that
My has 200k miles and still running like champ, not major problems at all
Hi mate what’s the max mileage you would consider when m buying one of these? Currently looking at with 174k on it
Seen alot for 10k euro here in the Netherlands with 175k on it
My saved list on Facebook marketplace is straight up E91 with the N52 engine 😂

Running a 2006 E91 330D 270k. SE, didn't want the hard ride for the commute.

Is it good for my first car ?
What about the 325i e91 ?
hi, please can somebody tell me were the front parking sensor module is because none of my front work.
Why does the UK love black car black wheels combo, looks fair bad
E90/91/92 with diesel or petrol engine is better and reliable?
Petrol 6. Or either of these early diesel engines. The later diesel engines are made of chocolate.
My E91 is a manual, unfortunately. But It's my baby and I absolutely love it. I need to put some M sport bumpers on it and upgrade to xenons because the halogen headlights are trash.
Sounds amazing 😄😄
Awesome Content ever
Would you recommend a 320d or a 320i for mainly city driving ?
Definitely a 320d 🤌🏽

I just put on some f30 style 401 wheels on it.
Good old Gunnislake
Yeah there is no reason to upgrade to F30 because it's turbo and that ain't real BMW. E90 is the last wagon with NA engine.
Are the petrol versions as good as the diesel.
Petrol variants would only touch the 3.0 ones

Would love one to go with my M235i
Do it! I’m selling this one!! 👀

It isn't, E90 is the sedan version, this is wagon so it's an E91
