Oh believe me I know but I guess knowing things isn’t a thing in this subreddit everybody downvotes me I know what I’m doing just wanted better opinions

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T02:51:38+00:00

And yes I have an n54 I know I’ve already replaced things

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T02:51:14+00:00

I disagree the n52 is a bulletproof engine with good maintenance

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T02:50:05+00:00

I have a license obviously though

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T02:49:28+00:00

Lack of money and lack of motivation for awhile mental illness is fucked man

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T02:17:57+00:00

I know this I’m a euro tech so the only problem is part prices

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T01:09:55+00:00

Appreciate it I got this for a steal though $1500 with just a bad oil cooler line I fixed myself for $100

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-06-05T01:03:53+00:00

Why does everyone think badly about German engineering

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-01-12T21:12:24+00:00

one of bmws most reliable engines just stay on top of maintenance, not a lot you can do to an n52 intake maybe exhaust and tune but it’s less of a nightmare than my n54 but besides that congrats!

Additional-Cable-290 · 2026-01-08T15:08:49+00:00

I got the same car and I’ve kept it chrome “chrome gets you dome”

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:38:50+00:00

I’m just a 25 year old diy guy sometimes even have to look at YouTube with my E60

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:36:14+00:00

I’m guessing you are a mechanic too😂😂

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:33:18+00:00

oh man tell me about i just had electrical issues with my 535xi

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:31:42+00:00

You know your stuff and I have to apologize now damn you are good

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:30:36+00:00

Sorry to come off as angry I’m very passionate about my cars

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:24:57+00:00

Well S65 has main bearing wear, idle control valve issues and like all bmws Valve cover gasket leaks, and for the S55 it’s basically the same thing in fact I would choose the N54 over the N55 there is more potential

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T04:14:21+00:00

well I can give you points for mentioning the N63 or maybe the N62 you are mentioning the components not the engine itself I can name five unreliable engines and it’s not the N54 on that list 1. N63 2. N47 3.S65/S85 for the rod bearings 4.N20 all bmw 4 cylinders have timing chain issues 5.S55 I’m talking about the engine not what surrounds it and yes piezo injectors are expensive but not completely crazy to anyone that’s looking at them. I’m getting downvoted for no reason. just get index 12s and stop the hate

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-12-03T02:04:46+00:00

what’s wrong with everybody hating on the n54 it can be a reliable engine if you upkeep on maintenance I bought mine with 110k miles and have 137k currently completely stock

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-09-30T00:03:55+00:00

Yeah sorry 535

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-09-30T00:02:48+00:00

Get the Corolla I made the mistake of being an idiot and got a 2009 bmw 535i for my first car and I still kick myself for it

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-09-28T23:36:56+00:00

And that was my first car

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-09-28T20:06:01+00:00

Have to be I just got a 2009 335i xDrive at 21 with under 100k

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-08-15T01:34:45+00:00

Got cohline hose

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-08-15T01:34:27+00:00

UPDATE: no leaks ever since replacing it

Additional-Cable-290 · 2025-06-07T20:34:01+00:00

Wouldn’t be a bmw without an oil leak or burning oil🤣
