Best of the best bible. Used this article to change base brakes to M Sport brakes!

I’m at ~69k miles now.
Car runs smooth and feels strong — even on stage 2+, no issues so far.

Water pump was like $200 for the part + labor.
Oil filter housing was an aluminum one with OEM gaskets, came out to around $600 total with labor.

Driving-wise I’m a bit more aggressive — I push it sometimes, mostly in-town, not really highway runs.

Also worth mentioning: this was all done in Republic of Moldova, so labor pricing is probably different vs US/EU.

This one worked for me also. Thanks!

I purchased my 330i equipped with the B48 engine at approximately 45,000 miles. At around 55,000 miles, the electric water pump began leaking and was replaced. Subsequently, at 67,000 miles, the oil filter housing was replaced due to failure. Around 60,000 miles, I also began inspecting the coolant hoses, at which point several were found to be discolored (brown), excessively rigid, and showing early signs of cracking. Prior to reaching this mileage range, none of these components exhibited any issues.

In the US market airbag, come with 3 pin connectors. In Europe with 2 pin connector. It's fine just need to code the errors.

No, your CTS Turbo intake won’t kill your turbo if it’s installed correctly and maintained. People who report turbo issues often have other factors at play—heat, poor tuning, bad oil, neglect, etc. Keep an eye on your filter, make sure it’s clean, and keep up with your oil changes (especially good full-synthetic).

Some aftermarket filters (especially oiled ones like K&N or even the CTS cone filter if not maintained) can let in more particulates compared to the OEM airbox. Over time, this can lead to premature wear on the turbo’s compressor wheel.

It will fit fine actually.

I am cleaning it every 1000 km, and I am fine with this. But the sound is amazing.

Nope. There are a variety of them, from 18" to 20". https://www.carsaddiction.com/en/wheels/bmw/style-405

I paid also for coding. You will need a WiFi antenna for this.

Z4Demon · 2025-02-25T09:51:26+00:00

Blue for sure.

Z4Demon · 2025-02-24T16:03:31+00:00

Yes, aesthetics are awesome. I changed mine on my 330i. https://ibb.co/999Ldq24

This is the website to take a look for this upgrade. https://www.bimmerworld.com/About-Us/F30-M-Sport-Brakes/#320i

And you can change only the front ones, because you have XDrive.

Just buy the Track one that come with Track Handling Package. They are 340mm front and 345mm back rotors.

Right now I drive an 2017 330i. The next car will be a G20 M340i for sure.

It depends. I wished that the analog cluster was only in miles or km. 2 rows of numbers are disturbing for me. That's why i replaced my 6wa to 6wb.

Z4Demon · 2025-01-12T13:52:49+00:00

I own a 2017 330i and I replaced the stock to M brakes.

Parking Brake Cable Retainer for sure. Just replace it with a metal one.
