Welcome. Let's see some photos!

I too just purchased a 335i (e91) and had the same issue with the clock resetting.

Was a crook battery.

Replaced it with a new BMW one. Issue resolved.

Enjoy!

You guys enjoying your 335is? Might have my own next week if the one I want gets past the mechanical inspection and test drive ok

How did someone steal a E46 ? they steal your keys or with a towtruck? (sorry if this is a sore subject, just interested.)

Welcome.

These have to be the bang for your buck bargain at the moment. That motor is fantastic .

well they broke into the house while i had taken wifes car... drugged my two dogs...the jack russel only just made it through as she had a similar dose as the 40kg labrador....wife was 7 months pregnant too and i was away overnight...

car recovered 6 moths later...it was a full insurance claim as it was ~ 6 months old....kids arrived and that was that...taken me 12 years to recover!! that was a great motivator to get out of the UK that and wife getting carjacked 3 months after in a supermarket carpark at 2pm!!! just bad luck i guess

piccies inbound!

yes the performance is just breath taking...compared to the nissan safari lwb 4.2 td

Thats quite the story! Hope all goes well with the e92 335i. Lots of e92 335i fans here!

dude. wow. Just wow. I figured it would be a tough car to steal traditionally. But that's a horror story. Glad you all made it out alive.

Welcome.
