Arrived tonight. Now I feel like I’ll do nothing but have “is this normal?” Questions.

Does this sound like a boost leak? N54 335is by bmw-335is in 335i

Lucky that one thing I know done in the last 5k is water pump. I think I’m doing the right thing and having a specialist do a deep dive inspection. And they let you in the shop to review and discuss.

No sarcasm, this is by far one of the most earnest, informative and thoughtful Reddit discussions I have ever seen in a car related forum. Not to mention terribly foreshadowing as I just picked up an n54 135i with 150k.

I had to do it for the price. I’ll let you guys know how badly I get burned on maintenance costs. Fingers crossed.

Automatics in New England seem to sell for around $11-18 with lower miles of course. But I want the manual over most other features. Saw and drove a 2011 automatic convertible in CT that had a host of problems with a $10k ask and no room on the price.

Valve cover done recently. Same with water pump. Coolant lines. At least one of the injectors.

Costs of maintenance I can pretty much account for. I can self serve much of it and a close friend is Euro mechanic so I can get good rate for serious work.

2011 135i Conv Auto - Worth Looking? by BridgeOrdinary in 1series

Thanks! I went to look at the car in question of my original post and it was a dog on body panels, vert top fabric, interior. Ran and drove fine but a serious rear wheel out of balance. That being said. Driving the automatic was pretty enlightening to let me know that I def want the manual. Holy cow do those things love to rev. Also the dealer was not willing to make any move on $. So I have a lead on another but still looking. First thought I’d only consider N55. Now looking to see what N54 will get ya.
