topnotchrally 161 Report post Posted June 19 Geez, if you took 30 seconds to look up N43 on the 'net, like I did, you would never buy this car. And yet someone imported it from UK. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD13 548 Report post Posted June 19 Yeah... Seems these early direct injection engines have crazy expensive injectors. Spareto has "vemo" brand for E234 a pop. Otherwise BWM brand for E475! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1773 Report post Posted June 19 Well it was imported in 2013 while they were still making them, lots of the flaws and wear related issues probably weren't common back then. Either way they are money pits like most petrol 4 cyl N series engines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2448 Report post Posted June 19 you can always spot a 4 pot E9x in traffic. When it pulls away from a stop it'll leave a nice blue cloud of oil smoke. Avoid like the plague. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avoid like the plague. In Auckland, weaving through traffic, speeding, up someone’s arse, generally driving like a c@&t, “Oh, that’ll be a 320i then.” I always presume they’re rushing to the mechanic.
