Do a bmw 135i

[@DirtDude117]

I'm an ex-service advisor, shop foreman, and service manager for BMW so I would like to mention a few things: 1. You skipped out on the PAW N55 for the E92/E90 which has less issues but makes less bolt on power. With a tune 350whp is common and a Pure Stage 1 turbo is 400whp all day without wastegate issues (assuming you fix the vacuum lines). 2. The S65 has rod bearing issues that are more due to the owners than the car. Change your oil, let it warm up, and change you spark plugs every 30k. This will pretty much avoid the issue (194k on my last one when I sold it). Throttle body actuators, evaporator cores leak on early ones, and prepare to spend a lot in fuel. 3. The 335is is a monster. It's a 1M/Z4 35is Sdrive tuned car with the same clutch as both (and the 550i) if you get a manual OR a DCT automatic that's bonkers too. It's a bit tricker to tune but MAN it's fun! 4. Pay for someone to install your N54 downpipes. It's not worth the PTSD nightmares, TRUST ME! From a B5 S4, 300Z TT, and a STS-V this job is one of the worst. 5. FCP Euro! Lifetime warranty on all their parts! You pay shipping, you get a new part! 6. The electric water pumps...they just suck. Stick to the OEM plastic propeller ones, the metal ones kill engines when they go. 7. Valve Cover Gaskets, Oil Filter Housing Gasket, and Oil Pan Gasket... all these will leak so find a car that has them done. VCGs will dip on the exhaust and smoke you out. OFHGs leak onto your belts and throw them off destroking your front main seal and getting in your engine. Not fun. Oil Pan... well you lose oil quick and your aero panels will be coated in gunk. It's a pan to do this one. 8. Only the M cars have a factory LSD. 9. These are great cars if treated correctly. Remember, they are 40k-60k cars new, their parts and labor is going to be expensive. If you are a DIYer then they will make you a good technician. 10. Remember to enjoy your car!

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

Very good info. Allow me to add the list of what happened to mine. 2006 330i Sport, so it was just an N52 motor, not the N54. 1) Cracked head bolt at 95K, causing massive oil leak. Bad metallurgy or bad factory torque. 2) Three cracked bolts on the oil pan, causing another leak. Big $$ labor cost due to all the stuff they needed to remove. 3) Minor valve cover leaks, very common on every German car I've owned. Problem is, it gets on the exhaust manifold and you can smell it every time you open the door. 4) Three failed ignition coils at 100K 5) Failed AC compressor at 120K 6) Failed headlight aiming motors at 95K 7) Worn-out suspension "thrust bushings" at 100K 8) Worn-out guibo on the driveshaft at 110K 9) Massive interior water leak caused by clogged sunroof drain hoses. 10) Shocks became too soft by 95K miles 12) Cupholder stuck inside the dash and wouldn't pop out anymore, lol. 13) Rear power sunshade got stuck. Other than that....fairly reliable I guess. Surprisingly good highway mileage due to the tall 6th gear. Great seats with the Sport package. Just make sure to ditch the crappy run-flat tires because they ride like shit.

I maintain the car very well and have loved it since day one of ownership. The perfect steering feel and the silky smooth non-turbo inline six cylinder engine are simply not available in current 3 series BMWs. There is no “infotainment system “ on this car; the entertainment is in the driving.

same here bud! i was going to get a new car but didn't love any of my options. was going to get an Lexus IS F-Sport, but couldnt get past the paddle shifters after how many times i test drove it. the only car i loved was the M2 competition, but couldnt justify 70K. so i thought, might as well put $15k (the money i would use as a down payment) into a car i do love, my 335XI E92. replaced the turbos, injectors, coil-overs, new M-Sport front bumper, rotors, brakes, intercooler, jb4... this car feels like a new car now and so much fun to drive, looks really sexy too. best decision i made.

[@cccc9911]

Yes...the e90's look great still. Most importantly, they drive SO MUCH BETTER than ALL of the platforms after it. The newer 3 series FEEL NUMB compared to the e90s. Go test drive one and you'll realize it IMMEDIATELY. I'd rather keep an e90/N54 and have a much more fun car to drive and fix a fuel pump or water pump every 2yrs than pay the premium and take the depreciation hit of getting a new one.

I think the E92 is the greatest bimmer EVER made. When you consider price, style, power and handling, there has never been a car that balances all of them like the E92. And I like the 335i MUCH better than the M3. Who needs a gas guzzling V8, when you can build the N54 to 1000whp??? The E92 335i is the perfect blend of style, sport and luxury; power and comfort. Its look is classic and timeless. I don't think I've ever loved a car as much as this one, and I've owned Porsche's, Alpha's, several American Muscle Cars and six other BMW's. There's nothing like the N54 E92...

You have to be rich to run one, especially tuned. They have ALOT of failures that the engineers failed to catch.

Weird my n54 335i has 100k miles, I got it back in 2009 when it came out so I’m the only owner, I changed everything that gives problems such as the water pump, changed all the seals, did an engine out service new fuel pumps etc etc, it’s currently on docracing 6266 single turbo and I’ve never had down time with the car

Speedier when I first bought the car I had to replace the radiator. I’ve owned the car three years now and driven 40k miles. I had to replace the starter but other than that it’s been only oil changes and routine stuff and I’m at 185k miles. I love these cars, after 3 years I still look back and smile every time I park 😬

Driving a 07 E92 328i for 8 years now. And I still love it. Its a daily drive and here in the Netherlands its just to damn expensive to own a 335i or M3 as a daily drive. Also the insurance wants your organs or something to insure you.. so yeah 😁

2007 Montego Blue/Terra Brown E90 335i Manual. Bought with 74k; now has 82k. I love my n54!!! But I also went into it knowing the maintenance bills will add up over time. But doing everything yourself and using FCP Euro for their lifetime warranty it’s not the worst thing ever, but definitely more problematic than other enthusiast oriented car ownership experiences!
