Ecoll 2 Report post Posted December 29, 2020 Hi all, new member to the site here. I’ve owned bmws for years. E46, f20 but just picked up a f30 335i. Long term looking to do a stage 1 or 2 remap and would appreciate any advice on the n55 engine. I’d be keen for the meet up in Auckland also! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted December 30, 2020 Key for n55 engine maintenance is regular oil service. Dont go past 10,000kms between changes. Just dont. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Navin 180 Report post Posted January 1, 2021 I used a no brand alloy one from China and it was perfectly fine, no issues in 3+ years. There's heaps on the market so just choose one that looks to be well made I guess. FTP which is a Taiwanese brand is a popular choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted January 1, 2021 I used ftp it was the cheapest decent option. Plenty of more expensive ones but i doubt theres any performance difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
