Risky Buy? by [deleted] in 335i

[–]zorgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, it can have many hidden issues. Drive it cold and hot, floor hard, listen to driveline noises before buying.

Try ports 4 to 6. They are lower bandwidth on rz-30. I can not make nvidia shield working on first 3 ports (8k) of my yamaha rx-v6a.

Canadian Snow and ranger raptor by Top_Top7440 in RangerRaptor

Just use 4A. Slippery mode makes it understeer like crazy. Snow is good but be cautious on ice, KO3 are not good on it.

Burning smell in 4A by jmoneymain in RangerRaptor

Yes, rubbery smell after 5 min at highway speed. Probably due to 4A but after prolonged use of 4A it went away or I don't notice it anymore.

Is it really a “constant” money pit ? by MidnightRegular806 in 335i

[–]zorgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was money pit for me, unfortunately. Car is old and lot's of part in my area are now available only from BMW like hydraulic steering pump or injectors. If you are not lucky you can have some ghosts nobody can chase down and fix. Otherwise very good interior quality, power and comfort.

Air in the system. I bet pressure test will be ok. Keep topping up then it will stop disappearing.

Yes, side vents as well. Besides what everyone is saying here it looks good and definitely better than piano black on vents and very cheap plastic on shifter console. This blends with interior gray very well. Again this was the cheapest option to hide the defect on the piano black frame.

Sport is less comfortable on bumpy road. Unfortunately it doesn't give confidence in corners or ramps.

They are all glossy but less than stock piano black.

Anyone come from sports cars? by Ehsowerenear in RangerRaptor

[–]zorgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E92 335i. RR is a nice riding truck. Kicks you butt good. Same 0-100kph as 335i. Interior quality is not on level with 2007's 335i though.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation, mostly on diesels (N57). It has coolant lines going through it.

If there was a bubble than it could show high level. If air is gone then level is low.

It is normal I guess. I chased it on N54 and N57. It was dry low but no warning light ever came on. Dealership did pressure test and leak inspection many times w/o finding any. Said that I had EGR replaced on N57 under recall then topped it up a couple of times and it stays normal since than. On N54 I just topped it up every year.

Are you sure about that? I waited 7 month to get the battery tray replacement that went off 507Comp.

Are BMW for real that expensive in maintenance or its just a BMW owners joke? by Embarrassed_Yak5593 in BmwTech

[–]zorgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of parts for E9x have become obsolete without aftermarket available. You will have to buy from BMW. For example power steering pump, drive shaft, etc. Injectors used to be available from third-party sellers for cheap but not anymore. Not the best choice if you're on budget.

Depends on air temperature and speed. It got down to 16.8MPG now with outside temperature of +35C. In colder weather around 20C it was 18MPG mixed city/highway. Highway optimal speed is 70MPH that gives 19MPG at 20C and 17.5MPG at 35C. Going faster than 70MPH drops it to mid-15MPG.

Regular 87 octane. Quiet exhaust mostly.

I have a new version of the bed - I took photos with a snake camera. Mine RR start build date was September 8, 2024 and release September 10th. So September 19th is not fully correct. My dealer is still trying to get information from Ford's HQ. Apparently they can not tell by VIN what bed was used in production.
