Stop with that nonsense you speak and realize how amazing an N54 is. > > A 335i owner telling another 335i owner how unreliable his car is?👏👏👏👏👏 I think the last thing you said, “Stupid problems a $50k car shouldn’t have” is why I can’t believe how many 335i nutswingers there are. If these problems were occuring on a Hyundai, everyone would say what crap they are, their made like shit, they’re cheap cars. But, on a BMW, it’s just something you deal with? I don’t have meth. Its funny becasue I have never said nor told you the N54 is the hand of god, I just tell you I like the car. You are the troll that comes out to bitch about shit and its problems, not me. I actually own one LOL. CTS-V is about the only decent domestic pushrod sedan (with an manual trans) that is somewhat interesting to me. The G8 GXP was about the only other option and those were just okay to me and pretty rare in manual. So until the general puts together a decent “sports sedan” with a manual trans, I will stay in the fggt 335 and keep looking for a CTS-V wagon 6spd for a decent price. > [@Willybeen](#): > > I too look at the cts vs and a newer warranty packed 335is… time will tell The 14 mpg is really not attractive if you are going to drive the car alot LOL. I just like the idea of a cts-v wagon manual, that they actually offered it. ---

Precisely …when I movec to florida I was doing 20k a year. Now that the office is only 8 miles from home, iprobably do 10k a year in the car and 3 to 6kon the bikes. And I dont care about their economy sinceits always going to be greater than 25 mpg. And 100 a year for full coverageis nice. Lastly, the 335 costs less than a 1000 annually for full coverage too. (When I bought it , it was 65 a month! Which if were cpmparing, was less than the malibu I had in ny ---

Apparently I got a best case on my car. The only issue I have is a coil that now loses it when I run my tune and the car has 75k on it. Replacing that and it’ll be all good. No other problems at all. :gotme: ---

They changed the part numbers and revised them, stopped making the old ones and once you need one new injector using the new part number you will have to buy all six of them as the new and old ones are not compatible. They are 178 each. ---

I heard some weird rattle on map 5 tonight. At 3 to 4k rpms, switched to map 1and it stopped. Thats what led me to check code … I want all these quirks solves before the end of the warranty on april 10th. ugh ---

Do a couple logs and send them to terry. I kept getting a fuel code like that and a few tweaks cleared everything up.
