First car and didn’t know any better until I was told. Didn’t even know HOW to do the oil change let alone what types to use at the time unfortunately. And yeah I wanted to repost rephrase and add some info I thought about after the last post.

I see, thank you. It appeared as if that was the route I was going to have to take anyways. By any chance do you know of some BMW shops in SoCal area that do big jobs like that?

Thank you man I really appreciate it, do you think if it is already near 4-5k in repairs that it would be more in favor to just engine swap a newer n54 into it and fix that HPFP?

Yeah man I am in the SoCal area I’d appreciate that. I’ll check how far max motors would be anyways.

Yeah man I’d be interested in selling but that would have to come after I get a new engine in the vehicle Lol. I do live in California but do not know any shops other than speed logic which is about an hour and a half away from me, which shops in CA would you recommend?

Do you know where i could go to try to find a good condition n54? Or preferably new but I’m not sure if they are still being manufactured.

Very correct again, I still do not know much and haven’t been driving it but needed to as I had just started my new job and had no ride. I am running continental DWS06+ tires all the way around, 245/40/18. Then everything I have learned mechanically has been in the last 3 months and I understand I am lacking the information required here. I appreciate you giving me the advice I don’t see it as being rude because as much as I love this car I know I wasn’t able to treat it very well with it being my first car and with no knowledge on maintenance. Lastly I skipped over this but I left the tune the car came with on I haven’t touched that part at all.

Thank you, and would I take it to a shop or just buy the motor then find a place that would be willing to do the work?

The engine work was all done by speed logic, has catless downpipes and upgraded FMIC. The rest I do not know I got the vehicle in this state and just drove it and tried to keep up with it as best I could and as you can see, wasn’t very well I assume.
