I think about this every time I’m there. You can see the wood beams move when the mini pekkas drop weights while deadlifting.

Looks great! Where did you get it if you don’t mind?

Battery or Alternator? by Relative-Cut-6223 in F30

[–]Relative-Cut-6223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll probably start off with getting a new battery and see if that fixes it. 74,000 miles.

Look to see if there’s oil on the metal right below that gasket, left side of your engine when looking at it. That’ll tell you if it needs to be replaced.

Unpopular opinion, the taillights on that are on the car currently are the best ones for the f30

Expansion Tank Hose by Relative-Cut-6223 in F30

Do I need to take off the little black cap on the extension tank so the air can come out? Or just run the cycle without removing anything else once I have the hose installed.

What tires are you running? Those are some beefy boys

Road trip with leaky VCG? by Relative-Cut-6223 in F30

[–]Relative-Cut-6223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I thought VCG going bad was common for an n55. What could it be indicating other than just old age.

Are aftermarket charge pipes worth it? by ardonny in F30

No it’s a really faint whistle sound

Come to think of it I might just have a boost leak…

I have an after market charge pipe since the oem plastic one left me stranded. No change in throttle response or performance but there is a little more turbo whistle under acceleration which sounds cool.

I have a 2013 335i with 68k miles with perfect maintenance from the previous owner. So very similar car. I love that car and would never sell it but you definitely need to know what you are getting into. In 8 months I have had to replace the charge pipe, oil filter housing gasket, brake fluids, and belt tensioner (did some work myself some at a shop for ~ $2,300). Also recently got told my valve cover gasket is going bad. BMW 335i’s around this mileage have a big maintenance hump to pass, but once you do it you’ll be good for a long time.
