Did I Make a Mistake Buying a $3000 BMW E92 335i???

E92 is getting some more love and we finally got to start the car but it came with another surprise which is the coolant leak on the radiator fitting

[@TheChris91173]

Now you guys know why n54s get a bad rep. The owners treat them like shit

[@SwapDepot]

Exactly my point

[@winalv6447]

Exactly, and people dont wanna admit that

[@funfun5656]

The rolling chassis alone is worth 3k if not simply for the reason the long engine bay will fit all sorts of donor motors. Recently threw a rod and cracked the block on the cleanest of my E92s and plan to retrofit it with an N62 I rebuilt after N54 swapping my E63 6 series. This generation of Bimmers in my opinion is the most aesthetically pleasing.

[@HTXatLarge]

Dude the styling of the e63 is my absolute favorite. Loved it since my first time seeing one in person in 05. How'd the n54 swap turn out?

[@funfun5656]

​@@HTXatLarge Like a glove. Engine bay is basically identical to the 5 series (which was offered with an N54 as the 535) I was basically able to use off the shelf parts as far as mounting is concerned. The stock 6hp trans will mate up to the N54 and talk fine with the MSD80 ECU after a basic flash and sits further back so there's plenty of room up front for a larger front mount intercooler. With the carbon roof swap and after market hood the car is lighter than a standard 335i while being less prone to heat soak...it's like a match made in heaven.

[@HTXatLarge]

@@funfun5656 that's amazing!! Sweetest thing I've heard in a while. I'll definitely consider the swap once I get my hands on an e63. Currently have f13, previously had a 6mt n54 335 & the performance from that engine did it for me. Keep up the great work! Thank you for the write up.

[@funfun5656]

​@@HTXatLarge Lucky for you clean coupes are all over the place with bad valve stem seals (basically totals the car). You can easily get into one for less than 3k all day long if all you want is the chassis. If you get stuck feel free to reach out...by the time you're ready to build my detailed guide should be up on reddit.

[@HTXatLarge]

@@funfun5656 that's great news! I'm seriously grateful for this info. You've totally sold me on this build!

[@Sitdownbruhh]

If you hit the mirror from the bottom at the hinge it turns on with some wd40 or other type of lunricating fluid , and function the mirror back and fourth a few times, you will be able to fix that twitchy driver side mirror

This is the way to buy em! I bought mine for $1500 and I'm dailying it now and it's FBO with new 17T turbos. Rockin!! But why wouldn't you ask the seller when you're buying the car when and what the last oil change was? Or was this bought at an auction? If that's the case I understand but if not......etc.

[@giftedhands4059]

That’s wild! I just recently bought a 2008 335i for 3K. Parked it for maintenance and when I came back damn thing wouldn’t start😅. Video doc coming soon. Definitely just earned a subscriber

[@RodriguezSteve]

Check your battery

[@giftedhands4059]

@@RodriguezSteve checked the battery. Bought a brand new h8. No start after registry. Came back the next day, battery was completely drained. I’m in the process of removing the intake manifold for blasting and to replace the VC. I’ll check im almost sure the alternator is bad and it killed both my starter and battery. Checked grounds as well. All are in tact

[@RodriguezSteve]

Did you check your fuel pump ?

[@giftedhands4059]

@@RodriguezSteve I have not. Reason being that when I bought the battery, it drained by day 2. To me that seems to be more of an issue involving power rather than fuel wouldn’t you think?

buy a good machined crank seal guard like the flat one from vtt, 335is engine mounts and URO aluminum power steering pulley from rockauto to help prevent that next time. also make sure ur belt tensioner is proper or it will fly off again anyways
