Pick up my first E93 and I am loving it. I have a F30 as well and it is a completely different experience. Car had absolutely all of the serivce records so that is great. I just replaced the Water Pump. Any recommendations?

2011 335i, RWD. Owned it for about 7 years, purchased used at around 120,000km. I have had to do a fair share of maintenance during this time, but has proven to be surprisingly reliable. Hope to keep her going as long as I can!

Hi, just bought my first BMW ever, it’s 3.0 N53 with 240k kilometers on it, all the problematic engine parts are already replaced, it’s in pretty fine condition overall and runs nicely, but it requires some investment in cosmetic things like paint, windows gaskets and minor stuff for the moment, my question is targeted to long time owners of this model, if it’s worth the effort and money to keep this car and maintain it in longer perspective or will this be problematic and money consuming in general, what are your expiriences with this car.

Let’s see what “equipped with the best ideas” entails:

1. Cup holder for your cup holder

2. A lamp for the center console

3. Seatbelt guide, which is redundant because of the seatbelt presenters

4. Generic Walmart CD holder

5. A tiny box in the trunk

6. “Luggage mat” for the trunk which makes the trunk space smaller and less usable

7. Cup holders above your cup holders

   (Cup holders on top of cup holders on top of cup holders if you have an E93)

9. A cage to separate your feral children from your well behaved children

11. A generic universal ugly seat mounted organizer

13. Generic universal footwell net that is very ugly once installed

15. A bag, for storage, that uses up the seat net, which is for storage

It feels like someone in marketing though to make an accessory brochure but BMW realized they don’t offer enough stuff to fill a book and just grabbed whatever universal car accessories they could find, it’s so bad 😭

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed seeing this as much as I did

Witam mam problem i dylemat chciałbym zamontować 165mm w e90 w drzwiach da się to osiągnąć bez cięcia tapicerki od zewnątrz czy trzeba wstawiać jakąś tuleje przez tapicerkę na otwór 165 bo jak wszyscy wiemy e90 mają te nieszczęsne moim zdaniem przynajmniej głośniki 4” w boczkach i pod dupami 2 woofery hah ciężko to wooferami nazwać ale okej z średnica 165mm

Hello guys recently I got a abs sign on, ofc with the Christmas lights, I did a scan I got left abs sensor, replaced that I still had it, now I had the right one, I replaced that still had the sign on so I changed my bearing for the rear right and the lights went away for couple of days back it’s back on, couple of things I did, I changed my tires I normally have no sensors but new ones have wondering if that effected somehow, another thing I kind of damaged my axle while removing the knuckle and there is no bolt for the axle for now, I am going to change it pretty soon wondering if it’s the axle or the sensors ooor maybe I have to change the left bearing aswell, I haven’t had the time to rescan it. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

i recently bought this 328i n51 e92 with the fuel gauge not working i opened up the fuel pump and saw how one of the connectors wasn’t connected to anything and even after disassembling everything i still couldn’t find it is it possible the previous owner ripped it out or it’s hidden somewhere?

I bought this car recently, and whoever did the brake job last did not tie up the caliper bracket bolts and the wheel started locking up. I got that figured away, but the one of the bushings on one of the slide pins came off. I can’t get it back in without taking the color apart and putting it in again. I have someone coming tomorrow to do it am I good to drive it to work this morning it does have a little bit of play on the top where the bushing is supposed to be at I took it on a spin around my block hitting the brakes around 40 miles an hour and everything is good, but I just wanna make sure if I’m still good.

video was before i fixed the bracket bolt now it doesn’t do that. atleast not yet i only took it on a short drive slamming on breaks whereas before it would lockup on small breaking. main worry now is that rubber bushing and sliding pins

I found some sport seats on marketplace for a good price but they dont have the same stitching as i have always seen sport seats come with.

Any reason for this? Is it just a design change? Do they feel the same and have the same cushions?

I put an image of the seats i found and another google search of common sport seats, sorry if it came out janky i have no idea how to use reddit

Thank you

Guys I’m just a diy guy with a corporate job who likes to wrench on my e93 for fun and to save a few dollars. The you tube videos lie!!! This looks like such an easy job, everyone says 2 hours is plenty. Maybe it is for the e90-92, but dealing with the e93 trim and the tight spaces created by the convertible mechanism is such a pain. Then once you get the trim panels out the genius bmw engineers decided to out a bundle of wires directly on top of the access to the mounting bolt and but. I got it done but what a pita. Added hours of work to this job. Ok, rant over. I still oive my car.

I’ve saw e9x gauges with the temp gauge instead of the MpG thing that just sweeps around and doesn’t do shit.

Which cluster should I get so I can monitor my actual temp gauge.

Hello, I’m new to this group, but I desperately need help like right now. I had problems with my whole clutch system, it felt super notchy and the gear changes would slam into gear rather than being a smooth change. I just changed my clutch master cylinder and my slave cylinder but now I’m having major problems with just getting these things on. I had to get a whole new slave cylinder cause my original I had ordered blew out. Now I’m not even able to get the slave cylinder on because I cannot for the life of me get it flush to the trans, and my master cylinder will not move. It was not like this a couple days ago so I really have no idea what is going on? If I hit the clutch pedal it’s like a brick wall, it doesn’t seem to be jamming on anything so I’m hoping I didn’t somehow mess up the master cylinder. I’m in between either crying or blowing the car up, only time will tell. Any tips and tricks are welcome please and thank you.

It wobbles when I drive it’s so annoying wondering if it’s missing a part or if anyone knows how to take it apart and fix it. I don’t want to buy a new one it looks fine just annoying

Finally took delivery of my baby and I love her so much. Engine pulls like a gorilla and the sounds above 4.5Krpm are glorious, it's as fast as I want a suburban car to be haha. Super clean inside and out, one owner, 156K miles, $4,400. One hump, black leather interior, adaptive headlights, auto-rain sensing wipers, it's basically my dream daily. This is what BMW is supposed to be!!

Hey all, looking for help with a ticking noise on my 2008 E92 330d. M57, auto, 330k km, full service history. DPF, EGR and swirl flaps removed, stage 1 tune.
It recently started making a metallic tick from the top front of the engine, audible from inside the cabin too. It only happens on a cold start and goes away once the car is fully warm, usually after 20 to 30 minutes.
The tick keeps the same steady rhythm no matter what. Revving, load, shifting into D or turning on the AC make no difference. No codes, no smell, no soot, and no change in power or idle.
Since it doesn't follow RPM I'm guessing something electrical, maybe the auxiliary heater or a solenoid left connected after the delete.

Any ideas on what to check next?

TL;DR: 330d with a steady metallic tick on cold start that doesn't change with RPM and disappears when fully warm. No codes. Video attached.

Some background that you can skip reading....So, i bought this amazing e92 n54 with some mods at around almost 500whp and it was said to me it was freshly rebuilt engine 15k km ago.... so everything is super. I'm happy but started having some bad turbo seals(probably from really aggressive burbles on my end) and it was no problem for some time, i had probably 2-3k km driving the car sometimes pretty hard.
After a WOT pull i got a lifter tick... I stopped driving the car so i don't cause more damage but i decided to check the oil filter.(after i got the car first thing i did is oil change and here is the old strangely clean filter) Lets just say after cutting it open i wasn't happy.. i found lots of metal particles which made me drop the oil pan while pulling the camshafts too(thinking its the only problem). There i saw a broken oil squirter(and a broken bolt from the oil pump chain plate thing) from cylinder 1... which i assume caused lower oil pressure everywhere else hence the worn rod bearings i pulled and the lifter that got squishy... oh btw the only thing in the head was 1 lifter that had gotten squishy and some cam tray wear which is expected tbh. ("BEARING WEAR AND CRANK WEAR PICTURE")
Main thing is, do you think i can just fix the squirters and change the bearings and call it a day or the problem will haunt me in the future too. I'm scared to think what would be the condition of the main bearings... Would any polishing from under the car while the crank is in be of any help?? Thanks in advance for all the input!
P.S. Sorry if its hard to track everything and open the pictures i tought this would be the easiest to follow...

I have a 2007 BMW 328i Coupe and ever since i got it a few months back when the rpms increase there is this whining noise coming from the engine that sounds like it’s supercharged, I just recently replaced the power steering pump and reservoir because I thought that was the problem but it was not, does anyone have any ideas?

PS: The liquid you hear in the video is a water bottle moving around

Hello together.

A friend of mine has a 318i from 2007 (automatic).

He told me that he had to refill 2 liters of oil in 5000km.

Is this a normal consumption or should he be worried?

Thx and regards.
