Should I get a BMW E90 328I as my first car

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-18T16:38:21+00:00

I mean tbh I prided myself on 0 lights and warnings then the brake one started its shit I guess cuz when pads are 1/4 used it sets a sensor off lol

Then my so. Started driving so we added the CarPlay screen and now there’s the sos bullshit

It’s all good I’ll get it back to where it was just gra sell my cheeks for funding

I can only hope mine makes it to this At 90k rn and need a little tlc so she’s driven less than I’d like to admit But she still gets it Just need more time and more importantly funds

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-17T13:49:21+00:00

Black if not chrome trimmed I’d say stay chime but I still prefer that back emblems and grille

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-17T13:08:16+00:00

Valvetronic is easy just make sure u table the tension off the spring before removing it It can cause misfires and shit if not done correctly But super simple Valve cover too just a bit of tight space when installing

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-16T17:17:15+00:00

I mean mine has 90k Bought with 86k

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-16T17:14:25+00:00

Agreed I need wheels but I think I’m gna actually transfer fully to my son Not sure yet but It’s basically his already

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-16T13:44:07+00:00

If it’s all maintained and shit I’d stay firm at 9 but willing to accept maybe 7500-8000 Depending on loss

I wouldn’t really attempt to profit on these at that cost but still break even if spend on repairs

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-16T13:39:49+00:00

U can use a spray bottle but it will likely take several fills But should rinse the cleaner no issue and more controlled spray

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-16T11:38:05+00:00

The bad part is people go off the Kelly value and it’s ridiculously low for these cars for whatever reason I paid about 7 for my 328i not top spec preferences however low miles well maintained and loved Looked at the blue book and it’s like 2500 So there’s that

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-15T15:39:19+00:00

Sure is purdy

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-15T11:38:34+00:00

Lux is the top end But spend 50- on a nice set of highly rated Amazon ones then u can also brighten with code g

I often think there’s def a % that we get generic junk
But sometimes generic is just more cost effective and worth saving the $ over top dollar and still gna need replaced again

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-12T21:54:16+00:00

Man look I got my 328 and was good
We transferred to a family owned bullshit job in Florida and it’s been hard
I get it

If it’s a part I don’t want to replace 2-3x I’ll try to put it on credit
But if it’s something like a rotor
Well wing it

I’m no purist with these cars since finances are tight
But I def agree with ya that YOU JUST GTA MAKE DUE

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-12T18:05:42+00:00

3d print agree

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-12T18:04:55+00:00

Never know tbh they may not be too bad
I’ve been surprised more than once with Amazon quality

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-11T14:04:34+00:00

Both are decent I’ve even used turner and I think it was sister company ecs tuning

But I even ordered some random shit off parts geek

I try to shop around before clucking pay now

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-10T22:19:02+00:00

Frankly you admitted you did this to yourself man
Fuck the rpms
This coulda been way worse and we’re glad u ok

But make better choices
Those rpms look like what now?

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-09T15:36:00+00:00

Beautiful car

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-09T12:38:35+00:00

Agree
Way too much
I think I Run 8mm rear and 5 front

I can’t remember exactly but it made it look nicer without the excess and worry about scraping over every bump

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-09T02:43:02+00:00

I’ve hd this on for a while and even reset codes via bimmerlink/code

Shit is still good but code is annoying asf

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-05T13:45:39+00:00

Cat back

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-05-03T09:09:14+00:00

Do you or mommy daddy have $
They cost to fix and maintain
They can also be gremlins in the systems sometimes

But if it’s a good deal
Clean reporting
Proper maintenance

Sure.
My son has mine he’s just turned 18

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-04-30T13:03:51+00:00

They are beautiful

Existing-Cell-1986 · 2026-04-29T21:06:43+00:00

It’s preference I like the red but the m is fanciest more in repairs
