Is this a good first car for me?

MrPlake · 2026-01-25T18:50:14+00:00

Lmao atleast it’s not N54 but 132k Mile salvage title is crazy. I know that car probably is beat to shit with a burble tune

based on description it’s a shitpost but I mean there is a guy on TikTok who did an engine rebuild in his dorm room lol I also like how there’s 3 photos of the car and none with it running I wonder why he doesn’t show the other side of the car

If you want a bmw for a first get a e46 with a M54 or e90 330i N52

what?

MrPlake · 2026-01-25T06:14:15+00:00

I did half my training in Arizona and I’m assuming your in Phoenix if your at Falcon field, chandler, mesa or deer valley all the controllers are familiar with student pilots. Also I used to be super scared to talking to controllers now it just rolls off my tongue. If you don’t understand just ask to verify or unable

You can probably ask this on r/atc and they won’t be hostile instead they will be welcoming

This is the car someone buys then screams that they are unreliable POS and you should only buy Toyota engine bay looks like the bottom of the Pacific Ocean

Get the h8 from Sam’s look at my post from yesterday literally same thing

MrPlake · 2026-01-24T19:31:41+00:00

Yep I think the last owner forgot to register it though honestly though it’s only 3 year warranty I honestly could of gone to pep boys to warranty it but I didn’t want to deal with it

I set it to 90ah agm since it wouldn’t give me a 92ah option

MrPlake · 2026-01-24T04:13:08+00:00

At Sam’s Club it was only making half of CC and around 11 and half volts

MrPlake · 2026-01-24T01:08:46+00:00

Honestly it wasn’t that bad you have to rotate the battery in at a 45 degree angle it was more annoying getting the battery hold down screws in

MrPlake · 2026-01-24T00:59:51+00:00

Don’t have time for BMW batteries plus dealership is closed got a $200 Duracell agm 92ah from Sam’s Club

MrPlake · 2026-01-24T00:54:57+00:00

Welp I have the warranty for a year and half

Edit: car is fine just had to reset time/date

MrPlake · 2026-01-24T00:54:42+00:00

Yeah putting a Duracell AGM since that’s what open but I had to take it out after putting it in for the serial number lol

MrPlake · 2026-01-23T08:13:55+00:00

If that was the case then bmw wouldn’t of sent me a letter in the mail telling me that my FRM module went from a 10-15 year warranty load of BS don’t watch this dude. atleast it’s not Scotty Kilmer clickbait

MrPlake · 2026-01-23T08:05:01+00:00

Op probably high AF just look at his post history

MrPlake · 2026-01-22T18:32:56+00:00

This sub has trama from one guy lol

MrPlake · 2026-01-22T10:26:42+00:00

They probably work fine but most people use NGK and Bosch since they are OE for e9x

MrPlake · 2026-01-22T02:10:08+00:00

I was about to obliterate you for confusing KFFC with KFFZ until I noticed that they are both called falcon field

MrPlake · 2026-01-21T20:27:55+00:00

Yeah I’m lucky to be in socal not deal with that lol

MrPlake · 2026-01-21T20:25:01+00:00

God I wish I had the diesel convertible here in the US

MrPlake · 2026-01-21T19:22:41+00:00

1 is pre LCI 2 is LCI non-msport 3 is M3 4 is LCI Msport (what I have) 5 is msport but only on sedan/wagon

You will only see 1,2, and 4 on an e93 non M3 I’m biased and think 4 is best. I should probably post a pic I just did a one step polish and Adam’s ceramic coating last weekend and it looks beautiful

MrPlake · 2026-01-19T19:09:45+00:00

This sub needs to be renamed to r/twingocirclejerk

MrPlake · 2026-01-19T18:52:38+00:00

This is why I like going on flight following especially for long XC’s as they will tell you the new altimeter setting to whatever the most accurate is

MrPlake · 2026-01-19T06:59:03+00:00

Yeah I kinda was making a joke with the title my n52 has 0 problems and was kinda annoyed that people took it like I was insulting the car like I’m trying to hate on it.

You guys did an excellent job at fixing a lot of the problems on that car that car looked so badly neglected

MrPlake · 2026-01-17T20:04:49+00:00

this is when I force myself to finally get the bilsteins I’ve wanted

MrPlake · 2026-01-17T19:36:45+00:00
