Hi guys
Got this car for a about 4 - 5 months now and decided to do a thread about it.
2008 e92 335 auto wish I could get a dct and sports pack.. anyway compared to my previous car the 325ci this car is whole new league I loved the m54 but damn the n54 is something else. Car has some decent power.
This car is in general good condition inside with a few scuffs and niggles on the bumpers one of which I done in the 1st few weeks lol.
Ever since I got my ci I kept yearning for more power I needed something with boost and my search began about a year back and every time i thought I found the right one it got sold.. So when I actually gave up I found one that ticked all the boxes for me. I knew what to expect when I bought the n54 it comes with all other quirks and the common n54 issues but I still wanted it. And it showed a few days after ownership haha one coil pack decided to pack up so changed that and a set of plugs then the next weekend the serpentine belt decided it had enough.. luckily I was just parking when it happened..
I knew that it had an oil leak but never realized it was so bad when was changing the belt got to see how bad my oil leaks was. Really bad leak from the ofhg and oil cooler gasket. Got that sorted. Car still stock for now. Did an oil change last week car running good so far.
work that I've done so far
- Oil cooler lines & OFHG
- Valve cover gasket
- Vanos solenoids
- New battery
- 2x new coil packs
- Service (oil & plugs)
- DCI's
- Muffler delete
seems now all my oil leaks has stopped and no more oil stains :tiptoe:
I even thought my injector was packing up meantime it was just a coil pack lol :roflol: I think i should just replace the rest of them.
Work planned to do :
- Gearbox service ZF
- Suspension refresh
- Carbon clean
- Silicone Vacuum lines
- Charge pipe with BOV
- Down pipes
- some mHD & jb4 when funds allow
- Msport rear bumper
Really starting to love this car but still miss my ci
wish i could've kept both.
I will update this thread as I go along.
advice and ideas welcome
Thanks for looking
Will post pics up soon.
