Thought I would put this on here first to see if anyone was interested. The car is getting a proper clean inside and out in early January, so don’t judge the photos too harshly as the car is pretty dirty. Mechanically fine, runs well with plenty of grunt, no issues that I am aware of. The AC works, but is a little temperamental (sometimes doesn’t come on). I’ve been told that it likely just needs a new hedgehog. Factory reversing/parking sensors. Has a detachable tow bar which has hardly been used and has spent its life in the garage. I’ve removed the original BMW cassette and put in a frame with a basic JVC unit. Car is in Hamilton. Looking for 2k ono. Edit: forgot to mention, it has a *very* slow oil leak, though I haven’t noticed anything while it’s been parked outside. Haven’t had any issues running out of oil. The valve cover gasket was replaced a couple of years ago and looks good.

Hey all, Currently have four BMWs, though about to sell my old E46s. My X1 M-Sport is the "family car”, while my 335i N54 E90 is my "fun car". Interested in doing some basic mods on the 335i to make it sound a bit more decent, though haven’t decided where to start. Not keen on fault codes or excessive engine and gearbox wear! Cheers

Just got the car. There is an Aux input but no USB. Seems strange on a 2009? I’m getting the feeling that this is one of those cases where it’s a 2007 or 2008 produced car sold NZ New as 2009...

You’re telling me. I was a bit surprised to, but then decided I don’t really care about iDrive, and my X1 has it anyway so it’s not like I’m missing out on something in my life Car being delivered tomorrow - photo attached taken a month ago. It’s an SE model.

Ah ok, do they have an aux input ready to go? Edit... Checked around, seems they all do. Sweet.

Cheers. So random question while I’ve got some 335i drivers here... this 335i that’s coming my way has no iDrive system, but it does have Bluetooth. Does a 2009 support streaming music from my iPhone XR by any chance? I.e. Spotify.

Any issues with Check Engine lights or other fault codes?

Is there any power advantage to putting on catless pipes? I’m actually not a big fan of the pops – I was worried that catless would cause this. Would keep stock exhaust and I don’t see myself doing any other mods at this stage. Maybe a better air system in future.

I was thinking about Amazon or eBay. Is the popping and extra noise enjoyable or does it get old fairly quickly in your experience?

It's an N54, twin turbo.

Hey all, I’ve acquired an NZ New 2009 335i (E90) and I’m looking into doing catless downpipes. My understanding is that being a 2009 car it’s ok. Could I get some suggestions as to what kit I should buy? And where from? Nothing extravagant... I’ll get a local euro mechanic to do the swap out. Many thanks!
