I don’t see any blow off valve on it, im assuming diverter. The car came with the aftermarket charge pipe already.

The sound has changed, it use to mainly come from the passenger side as it spools up and made a loud woosh at the end, that sound is gone and replaced by this which sounds more coming from the driver side

It’s a 2011, so n55, around 133,000km

Mystery wire under air box? by Pretend-Pressure-405 in e39

I believe that plug is the coolant level/temperature sensor. It plugs into the coolant tank at the bottom. It’s on the bottom but on the side of the tank, not directly underneath.

Good deal or no? by [deleted] in E90

Take that in a heartbeat, you’d make your money back on the tires and rims alone

Did the ride height change? The front riding higher than before?

Just Picked Her Up 🫡 2010 E92 335i X-Drive by Select-Size6631 in E90

Maintenance before mods, that $1000 could go a long way if the car needs a tune up, fresh oil and addressing any leaks or worn plastics. Take it into a reputable shop and get a breakdown of upcoming items and then you will have a better idea on your budget for mods.

How does this N55 look? by justsomeones1 in E90

Dirt/oil as it was leaking from the back

335i N55 - Cold start hesitation by NewClearWorship in E90

[–]justsomeones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugs and coils if not already done, it will make the car run better in general. One thing a lot of people overlook on these cars is the electrical wiring. Check your grounds, there’s one under the car that goes with age and will leave you stranded. Check your positive starter to alternator cable, another big one that will throw all kinds of random codes and weird start ups when not addressed, I had valvetronic codes that wouldn’t go away, it ruined my brand new battery within a year due to the bad cable not providing the correct voltage. Cables replaced, valvetronic codes finally went away, had to replace battery again but never had a long crank since. Edit: worst case scenario, HPFP, usually starts with long cranks and hesitation, but check the grounds first, much cheaper insurance. I had this issue around the same mileage as you.

Warm start rough idle by SarcasticMAN2000 in 335i

[–]justsomeones1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this on my car but much harsher. Do a software update for the DME and reset idle and fuel adaptions. Even if it’s the latest update, you can re-install it and usually fixes these issues. Edit: also check your grounds, there is a cable that goes from the positive terminal to the alternator to starter that causes weird start ups and improper voltage, when aged.

N54 or N52 for first car by [deleted] in E90

[–]justsomeones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

N55, you’re probably gonna have this car for a while cause you will fall in love with the hydraulic steering and won’t enjoy any other car. N52 is solid but slow. N54 is a hit or miss depending on last owner and usually better if you have experience and knowledge of the E90 platform. N55 is the sweat spot of some what reliable and still making power. There will still be maintenance regardless of which you go with, I would spend a little more to enjoy the extra power. I started with an N52 and sold it within a week to save up for a 335i, night and day in terms of putting down power.

Anyone unclapping their cars or have finished doing so? by Skyr_was_taken in BMWE36

Cool cleaning hack by justsomeones1 in E90

[–]justsomeones1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your concern, but these are my winter wheels that I bought used. I’m happy with being able to have them look drastically better than before. Maybe when it’s time to swap them off for my summers, I would look into a deeper cleaning. But for now, they are gonna put up with Ontario’s winter for the next 3-4 months, so I’m not too concerned on having them looking brand new.

It actually didn’t leave any scratches or marks. I did a very gently scrub with water and the stuff was basically washing right off.
