jon dee 500 Report post Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) ***SOLD...SOLD...SOLD*** Change of direction means selling my E92. Just turned 93,000km and running fine... no codes and no problems. So if anyone is looking at getting into a 335i for a fun car, here is one that has a lot of the upgrades already done Asking $13.5k here and when it goes on TM it will be $14.5k. Wheels have some kerbing that I have smoothed out and look presentable. One small dint that I haven't had repaired as it doesn't detract from the overall good impression that this car creates when viewed. Got nothing to do ? See if you can find the dint More pics (interior, engine bay etc) available, and happy to discuss details of what has been done and what remains to be done to make this an even better gentleman's fast road car. Cheers... Edited August 20, 2023 by jon dee SOLD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiddy 76 Report post Posted March 19, 2022 Nice car John, with sensible high grade bang for buck mods and upgrades. Good luck with sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon dee 500 Report post Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Thanks smiddy Yeah, the E92 is a nice road car and I decided against any mods that would detract from it being just that. I didn't want it to make more noise or ride any stiffer, as there are better options if you want a race car. I had the VRSF DCI cone filters on it for a while but went back to the OEM filter setup as DCI makes the engine bay look untidy and IMHO offers very little benefit except at the top of the rev range. However, carbon buildup on the intake valves is a known problem. and I did install an external catchcan setup to try and capture oil vapour before it reaches the valves. Now ALL the PCV fumes are routed to the catchcan which for convenience I located behind the left headlight. Instead of buying an expensive US kit to get a "PCV plug" I bought a cheap replacement PCV valve and cap, and filled the valve with epoxy. The most expensive part of the job was buying the proper oil resistant hose. The whole catchcan install is done without cutting or drilling and is completely reversible if the new owner wants to remove it. Checked the can the other day after about 500km of mixed city and highway driving. There was a thin film of oil over the bottom of the can and about two drops of oil collected. Either the engine has very little blowby or the catchcan doesn't work. It did collect a couple of cc of water in the cold weather, so I think that it is doing a job Cheers...

jon dee 500 Report post Posted August 2, 2023 Just replaced the oil filter housing gasket, oil cooler thermostat gasket, serpentine belt and bolts with new quality parts from FCPeuro. Oil change with Castrol Edge 5W-30 and new filter. Going in for fresh WOF on 07-08-23 and will have 12 months rego as soon as the WOF is issued. Has two key FOB's and I will be replacing the batteries on these as they seem to be forgetting their programming. Car located in Wellington. Cheers...

jon dee 500 Report post Posted August 20, 2023 Gone to a new home but will not be forgotten. I learned quite a few new swear words while working on the E92, and I'm sure they will come in handy next time I bust a knuckle working on a car Cheers... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
