I am selling my 2008 335xi coupe with 102,XXX miles. I am the third owner, and have had the car for the past 6 years. It has an extensive maintenance and modification history (see below) and is the ideal enthusiast spec featuring Oak Green Metallic over Saddle interior with the basic center stack. Unfortunately, the waste gates are starting to rattle. I don't have the time/energy to take this project on myself and cannot justify the cost of having this completed at a shop given the value of the car overall. There is no boost leak yet, and the car could likely be driven for some time before a fault truly develops.

Overall, this is an excellent driving e92 that has had all major gaskets replaced within the past 25k miles. Price reflects what I've spent in the past year on clutch, valve cover, brakes, and new battery. I'm just trying to recoup my most recent maintenance costs (I've spent FAR more over the history of the car clearly) and my loss is your gain.
I hope this can find a home with a mechanically inclined enthusiast that will enjoy an analogue manual car for many years to come! The car is located in metro Detroit and happy to provide more pictures upon request.
