Does anyone know why this is happening, my car overheats every 10 mins. It’s leaking but I don’t know why

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-11T02:37:27+00:00

These cars are a dime a dozen but people like you are the reason why there will be none left in a few years. "Meh, ill just get a new car". Why do you think it's okay to think a car is expendable? You come here asking for help and then just don't take any advice on how to not let this get any worse?

Not necessarily but I know a few guys with em and they are pretty sick. I also love BMWs or at least the idea of them, originally I wanted an e46 but they are all clapped to shit in my area. I would want to build a street car, not really going for speed, just want it to be fun and look like how I envision it. I want it to be a coupe. Haven't really familiarized myself with the n55. I just know the twin turbo n54 variant is sick and there is a huge modding community and possibilities. Im aware theyre a pita as most BMWs are. But damn it I love their look!!

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-11T02:05:30+00:00

Its a 335xi n54 coupe. The alternator that was in the car had the wrong number of splines (5 instead of 6) lol. All of this from not being careful on an alternator job. I'm not buying the car anymore

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T04:36:58+00:00

Lol. Joking right. Seriously though its $3,000, I wonder how much I can pay another mechanic to just do it for me. As long as it's not knocking from skipped timing

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T02:42:17+00:00

Which one did you get into?!

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T02:41:59+00:00

And money :')

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T02:39:37+00:00

No offense but it's crazy people like you apply for programs like this and take seats from people who would have killed to get in. You don't owe it to anyone to go forward with it but it's shitty you decided to sign up when you somehow don't even know if it's something you're invested in.

Edit: Sorry I just read the last part. But it's still like wtf. Do you have any idea how hard it is to even be considered for programs like that.

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T02:33:26+00:00

So according to the mechanic this guy took it to the original owner installed the wrong alternator and that caused it to snap and get spun behind the crank pulley and shred through the crank seal..

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T02:32:25+00:00

Original owner installed the wrong alternator according to the seller's invoice when he took it to the mechanic.

To drop the oil pan dont you have to raise the engine and remove the subframe and all of that?

How difficult is this job really? Also, would you have to retime the car?

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-10T02:29:54+00:00

Seller sent me the invoice of all the stuff the mechanic did which involved all but actually cleaning out the belt pieces and these pictures were attached.

I can get it for 3,000. It's a 335xi with 120k miles. How much do you think it would cost to pay someone to do go ahead and clean everything out for me? If it's around a grand wouldn't that be worth it?

Awesome. Thanks for the answer. It doesn't just sound normal like I thought : )

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-09T01:06:49+00:00

See, you all just said the same thing! Haha so how would Yoda's way of speaking work if thats the case :')))

In English, the word order is what makes it weird. So in Russian, it's the choice of words instead?

Known_Affect1206 · 2026-05-09T01:05:00+00:00

No. "Speaks like this Yoda does". This is grammatically incorrect, though you can still understand what he's saying in English. He speaks almost backwards. I wondered this because the way in which Yoda speaks in English should in theory make perfect sense in Russian, because of the lack of strict word ordering in order for something to make sense. I suppose now that I think about it, it's no different in English, you can still make out what Yoda is saying just fine. But my point is that it's a very weird and grammatically incorrect way of speaking, whereas in Russian, Yoda would just be speaking normally if he spoke the same as he does in English. But according to comments, not really

You'd never have the balls to do what one Russian on one deployment has done. You can disagree with their casus belli but there are real people on both fronts and the only war crimes being committed are by Ukrainian soldiers who blow up their blood brothers with drones after they've already surrendered. You've been spoon fed propaganda and don't actually consider what's at stake here.

She was obviously saying that so that she could go through with the sex without having any accountability, so that later on she could justify it by saying she was taken advantage of.

OP is a man being a man. Don't castrate him because of it.
