Besides after what happened to my car last time it was there i’m not to thrilled to bring it back. I don’t mind at all! Feel free to PM me. Also curious as to what happened at your last visit… Those prices to seem quite low, I would call to verify. ---

Didnt the N54’s have a turbo related recall? Or was it the N55’s? I think I remember a 135i owner over on [Mischief.tv](http://Mischief.tv) having some kind of recall ---

Here is a possible solution to your issues that I came up with today. Hope this works for you guys. Start off at Towne BMW Mini. Head West on Main street. At the intersection of Main and Transit- turn right and head North on Transit Rd/Route 78. Drive 1.1 miles on Transit. Immediately pull into 4891 Transit Road and buy anything on the lot-it will be better then a 335i as you are at Lia Honda. You can thank me later when you are in a reliable car that doesn’t suck. ---

I got new turbos under CPO as well. That was the “fix” for it. Honestly they still rattle a little, no big deal. X… ---

UPDATE. Warranty runs out in 20 some odd days from now. Dropped it off for low coolant, complained about a check engine light, turbo rattle, brake fluid flush, brake clunk when changing directions, oil change, microfilters, etc. All of the above was replaced and fixed sans the brake clunk which they attribute to the pads shifting within the bracket. So, new turbos, oil change, flushed brake fluid, new micro filters, etc for 320 ish dollars. (under CPO) I’m a happy guy and I suppose I’ll keep this car for a bit longer, heck, maybe I’ll even run procede finally. :lol: Thanks Goff for the chat and help ---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ---------- EDIT: is there a recommended break in for these things ? or just drive it like normal? ---

Normal procedure is wheelies on the 198. Since its 4 wheels and Florida, just drive 5 under the speed limit for a few months. Glad they took care of you Will. ---

Nice :tup: How many miles on the car now? As for the brakes, I ended up putting a bent piece of metal to take up the space on the pad ears to stop the noise.
