What I did for my car today
Okay guys...no biggie but this is what i did for my car today @ 134,564 miles
Keep in mind everything is working fine and had no problems but did them for added peace of mind: - installed new waterpump, thermostat, coolant expansion tank, upper & lower radiator hoses along with new cooling temperature sensor - refill with new coolant - installed new gasket for oil filter housing canister (had visible leak from that area) - changed the oil & filter - rotated all 4 tires - change & refill with new pwr steering fluid - change & refill with new brake fluid - installed new rear brake pads & rotors - installed new air and cabin filters - refilled new freon for the a/c A long day as my mechanic had the car for awhile...it wasn't cheap but hopefully all of this will pay off in having a dependable car for the long run.. |

Updated pics of my ride..
I also added a leather steering wheel cover made by Wheelskin and stitched it together. Took me some time but worth the wait Last edited by e90will; 07-10-2012 at 02:17 PM.. |

Any chance we can get a breakdown of what it cost? I just purchased mine, and even though it's still under warranty, I'm trying to (mentally) prepare for that day when it's not.

I paid close to $1,500 for all the stuff done to it. I purchased all the parts online and paid my mechanic (indy) for the labor. Two great sources of oem parts are: www.thebmwpartstore.com www.getbmwparts.com For my brakes, I went with www.autopartswarehouse.com as I prefer Centric brake pads & rotors. Total for the parts on the cooling system came out to $670, which consist of new waterpump, thermostat, hoses, temp sensor, coolant expansion tank, cap, coolant, & other miscellaneous parts. Total for the filters, fluids, and oil are about $100. Brake parts came out roughly close to $140. The remaining difference was for labor which included tires rotated & a/c recharge. |

Also, you have a 335... which is an upgraded model compared to the 325 I have. On the 335's, make sure you keep an eye out for the turbos & the fuel pump. The brakes are a little more $ compared to my car but their bigger & better. Other 335 members: please feel free to chime in if i'm missing anything. The bottom line is as long as you take care & keep up with the maintenance on your car, you can avoid most the expensive repairs down the road and your 335 will last a long time |
