Product Overview

BMW 3 Series Touring E91 is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2005 to 2008, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the E46 Touring, the E91 had a more controversial styling, even though in retrospect it was part of the generation that changed how cars that came after it are designed. Still, while this new approach is now appreciated on the E65, the E91 continues to be ridiculed.
Nevertheless, mechanically E91 had a range of interesting powertrain options, including the great N52 naturally-aspirated, port-injected I6 petrol, the last of its kind from Bavaria. It, and many other engines of this generation, remained durable and easy to work on.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the E91 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
