My car had no CEL, no codes. Just ran like a bag of dicks when cold, with the idle surging. Was also down on power when warm, but wasnt too bad.

I have nothing to add, except wow thats a great looking car!

Last I looked a set of BC gold weren't that expensive locally, and a damn sight better than those unknown Chinese things. Oh and what the hell is the point in adjustible suspension that doesn't have damper adjustment?! That screams cheap sh*t.

Still looks cool ?

I will also say, your cold start idle sounds exactly like my 523i before i redid the vanos on it. issue was gone after that

washer scum still happens here. My Mini had scum in the lines the other day, despite having all new tank/lines/pump/jets recently, and using tap water and wurth washer additive.

Whatever works man, ain't no judging here. Just as long as it will be replaced and isn't a permanent fix lol.

Must've put up photos for the wrong car, certainly wasn't anything special previously. Just a bog standard silver coupe. That wheel is an smg wheel isn't it? Can be retrofitted with some wiring, to any E46 iirc

Gorgeous car! Some nice photography there too.

i dont care what you guys say, that colour and interior combo is what makes it worth that money. Im a fan of (and one of few at that) PY/Kiwi, but it doesnt hold a candle to that blue with the ///M cloth interior. Swooon.

Uh wot? There's not a single ACS piece visible in the photos...

If only it were just leaks, but those hunks of junk N4x series engines also burn oil and smoke like nothing else, as well as having cooling issues. They'll make anything British look reliable.

Oh god, its like the SMG vs Manual arguments again. We get your opinion Dave, and no one cares. Some people like more doors, and some don't.

Lol, I wonder what those suckers would pay for a JDM as f**k, super rare r32 GXi with the mighty CA18i?

Needs more wagon lyf though

@3pedals dat you bro?

I feel ya, but still,

Drive a well sorted n54/n55. Blows an E36 M3 out of the water for pure performance and refinement.

Highly likely its just flexible garden edging from eBay. This kinda thing, https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-metres-of-BLACK-Flexible-Plastic-GARDEN-EDGING-with-50-STRONG-Securing-Pegs/202300836590?epid=28018714372&hash=item2f1a11caee:g:OVQAAOSwqqRa5UQr:rk:6:pf:0

The only thing leakier than a VW (and they are shockers) at work is anything with the N4x series engine.

A tuned auto in the 335i is actually pretty good (and the fact you can tune it so easily blows my mind). No match for a manual or DCT (like in later 335i/135i) but shifts fast enough and is pretty responsive, and is great to cruise around. I can certainly see the hate for autos though, but people even wet themselves for auto Supras and the likes, but probably more due to limited availability than anything.

15. A winter tyre (Note 3) does not have a tread depth of at least 4mm (excluding any tie-bar or tread-depth indicator strip) within all principal grooves that normally contain moulded tread-depth indicators and around the whole circumference of the tyre.

This guy has 860WHP, with 36psi boost on an unopened N54, so they arent that sh*t. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1104103&page=11 Do you always have to be such a sourpuss?
