I'm curious about intake valve buildup on 335s. 100k mi is right when other DI cars need to be cleaned.

bigdaddyf · 08-30-2010, 07:35 PM

I am replacing valve cover gasket this weekend as my dealer tells me"its a known problem". I didnt friggin know!!!

Ball joint at 30k

Other than that everything is still original -- i do have some work scheduled with my indy over the next few weeks

I'm sitting just north of 75k right now, bought the car as a CPO with 72k on it in July of this year. CPO Warranty/Extended Maintenance expired yesterday. '06 330i, planning on transmission fluid and spark plug change in the very near future. I'm hoping to get 8-10 years out of it.

At 154k miles. At the beginning of the September I replaced my water pump and thermostat as a precautionary measure. While replacing my oil filter housing gasket for a leak, I found that my valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket are both leaking. I guess they don't build them like they use to. My 01 E46 330i has 188k miles and has no oil leaks!

OP, how do u like the bilstein HD's?

Eric Bee · 09-25-2012, 04:14 PM

Subscribed.

New here, but hoping to get another 50-60k out of my '06 330i on top of the 75k already on the clock.

GoRomeo · 09-25-2012, 04:19 PM

Yes Valve cover gasket leak but nothing major... Gear shifter fixed...

SO excited about changing my spark plugs and swaping VANOS solenoids in a few days.. I cant wait to feel my car like new again....Cheers!

Rich, you told me in another thread a while back that I was going to catch up with you. Now you're at 154K!

I have no chance. I'm at 140 K. I also replaced my water pump and thermostat proactively in September (got a check engine light for thermostat, no failure but it was the original, so I had it replaced). Other than maintenance, car has been solid. Hoping for 200K. Good luck on yours.

Craigito · 09-25-2012, 10:53 PM

115k. Couple bad hpfp and injectors fixed under warranty. Runs as strong as ever. Hopefully the stock turbos last for a few more years. I dont drive it reallly hard. Been doing brakes and rotors and oil myself since new.

I took them off a while ago when I installed my BMW Performance shocks and springs. They were ok but a little rough for my taste.

I'm glad to see its still running good, be sure to post when you get to 200k I will be sure to do the same.

e90pilot · 09-27-2012, 01:27 PM

I flirting with 200k. I'm at 187k right now. Just replaced my AC compressor ($600) and it has a very slightly warped head (I think). It only overheats on the track. City driving is fine. The center support bearing and guibo are also a bit worn. The head might be about $2000 to fix or more.
