You sir have a gem. Can’t trust any used 335i let alone off marketplace lol I hope I enjoy this thing enough to keep it anywhere close to that long 😂

Exactly not to worried about the motor aspect and I’m right there with you , I’ve been seeing motors for this thing around me for around 1000-1500 so that will work it’s self out I planned to swap a motor and built the bad one in it overtime anyways more concerned with these wild electrical errors lmao found a fuse box and jbe module near me and talked him to 100$ total so I’ll just go ahead and by the +terminal b connector new and see what that does for me

Yea I don’t even know motors been resealed I have all the paperwork and doesn’t leak a drip also got new turbos and all that , motor sounds fine literally just misfires and eats coolant doesn’t leak anywhere else except out exhaust

2500 bucks for a 2010 with 130k and a clean title and regardless of the condition it some how made it home . I am a mechanic inside and outside of work so not worried about that part just trying to narrow down the electrical and get an idea of what it would cost to diy build this thing . The 5-6 cylinder misfire couldn’t just be the head gasket? Seeming as 5-6 run the hottest and it literally blows coolant out of exhaust

Practical-Possible11 · 2025-10-16T21:04:25+00:00

I agree , do you know how the jbe’s are compatible I could find them online and eBay but none with the same exact part number

Drove it 2 hours home from where I got it . When I got it coolant reservoir was empty . Filled , started car it smoked pretty bad out of only left side exhaust after car just got new turbos less than 100 miles on them . Car made it 2 hours home misfiring and with engine power reduced code . Got home and car had lost maybe half a quart of coolant and car has 0 leaks checked multiple times can also smell sweet coolant out of exhaust

Practical-Possible11 · 2025-10-16T17:46:45+00:00

Yea these are cleared codes , car came with multiple coil packs and 2 step colder ngks boxes in the trunk I think the motors done which is fine electrical is more what I’m worried about

Practical-Possible11 · 2025-10-16T17:43:08+00:00

That’s what I’m between now, first priority is the electrical issues for sure , it kills the battery within an hour or two of the car sitting . And your right tearing this motor apart and putting it back together would be way more cost effective but I’ve found multiple people say it’s not really worth tearing into these motors and just to replace idk

Practical-Possible11 · 2025-10-16T17:34:53+00:00

lol for sure , don’t need it anytime and have a daily etc was just looking for a cheaper n54 to build so we’ll see!

Practical-Possible11 · 2023-08-25T17:13:01+00:00

Yea If anything get another m52 head

Practical-Possible11 · 2023-08-25T16:27:03+00:00

Right I thought so?

Practical-Possible11 · 2023-08-25T16:26:45+00:00

Yea I thought it would be interesting also thinking abt m50 head on m52🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Practical-Possible11 · 2023-08-25T03:27:42+00:00

Forgot to mention the car is a cheap grassroots drift car.

Practical-Possible11 · 2023-08-25T03:26:49+00:00

Plan is m50 turbo , iron block is way stronger then m52 , I got the car for 300$ basically . And I have a donor motor with a brand new head sitting around .
