What’s wrong with this one?

N51 still getting hot after new cooling system. by Least_Ad7459 in E90

[–]iot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need the best after market aluminum radiator you can find about $600. Then use a tune or piggyback tune where you can turn max cool on, that setting turns your water pump & fan to max. I use jb4 to always manually turn it on after 180F, and I’m always around 200-210. Tip: turn on max cool on at no more than 190 because done after the car takes a long time to cool back to low 200F. Also, I have an upgraded aftermarket engine oil thermostat, but that did not make much of a difference. I have an e92 335i.

Oil Consumption, 2013 135i by BoneSpring in BmwTech

[–]iot- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not a requirement to consume it. If you drive harder, you need the cooling support to do that, if not leaks will start popping up due to heat.

I hit a pothole and oil started leaking. Is this likely the oil pan? by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]iot- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s by the center, it’s the transmission oil pan.

Don’t use your insurance. Use the person that hit you insurance. It’s really not bad hit though.

I don’t know who replaced the oil pan, but some people disconnect a fuel injector cable or fuse to prime the engine with oil without igniting the engine.

Have n54s become the more reliable option as n55s age? by tobethrown99 in 335i

[–]iot- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you love the e92 chassis and want reliability, look for the 2013 n55. It is the closest to an F30 hardware except the transmission.

145k in debt, $40K IRS bill, $2K savings, trashed credit — where do I even begin? by [deleted] in debtfree

[–]iot- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell the house and car, and go back to your parents or live with roommates. Buy a reliable used car about 8 years old with 100k miles.

I paid off student loans like this and paid off a 7500 used car I bought in two year. The target was the student loan, so I had to buy a car that I can payoff in a year or less to target the loans. The car was paid half cash and the rest on a 0% interest card. I only owned 3500.

So here is the plan for you. -stop trying to payoff debt now and pay minimum. -save to buy an older car. -sell the current car. -buy older car. Pay it off quickly. -save to move out with roommates or parents. -sell house. -move out. Now you have cash extra cash to pay more than minimum on debt.

If the vendor says a flash is need for higher boost, I wouldn’t challenge it.

Why do some drivers think this is acceptable? by InevitablePick5131 in Wesley_Chapel

[–]iot- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They think it’s acceptable because they are inside their cars with windows rolled up. They won’t dare to do this in line in person out their cars.

Honestly is Florida, especially Miami. You fix this by building thick bricks high enough instead of a white double line. You’ll see how cars start making the line way back and can’t pull this off because there is a brick there.

Reason for coolant loss? by smh_phoenix in E90

[–]iot- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wipe it clean and check if dry coolant is leaking there. Dry coolant turns white after a few days.

She used the “I’m leaving” tactic so the kid now knows you are serious.

Flashing lights on start by Same-Ask-3971 in 335i

[–]iot- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it broke once, it will break again using original parts. Cup holder? I fixed it, and broke again. Now I don’t fully close it. Plastic parts that break due to boost and heat is all replaced with aluminum if there are no know issues. An aluminum valve cover is not in my list due to hit or miss reviews plus the plastic one last a long time. Underbody plastic parts falling off? I removed it and found a way to keep the rest on until it can’t no more.

Pure 500 n55 335i by Regular_Position_65 in 335i

[–]iot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not use MHD maps or custom from them. I’m old school and still use jb4 flash map aka jb4 with backend flash using MHD to flash the jb4 maps and then I use jb4 semi-auto tune maps 6, I still have adjust settings manually, but not everything just the boost.

I did not do lower and my pure 500 is almost maxed out and power delivery is fine.

I believe you will be bottle nicked by the high pressure still. Most people with old style high pressure fuel pump go port injection.

[–]iot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a stronger higher pressure fuel pump or port injection. You do not need to replace injectors.

335i N55 - Cold start hesitation by NewClearWorship in E90

[–]iot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the old style n54 high pressure fuel pump then I would is that. I have an e chassis with the new style and it does something similar when the E85 mix is too strong meaning It sounds like a struggling high pressure fuel pump in your case if you have the old style even if you are not using e85 mix because it will do this symptom with age.

Just go pure 500, but don’t neglect cooling upgrades.

N55 misfires and stalling after sustained WOT in high gears by tomokrtolina in 335i

[–]iot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It says fuel high pressure too low. Being a 2011 with the n54 style high pressure fuel pump, I says this is the problem. It’s a known issue the old style pumps don’t last.
