Anyone had a oil filter housing adapter gasket leak? I was just quoted $1200 at BMW. If it's an easy fix I can do it myself, or maybe my extended warranty will cover it.

Why don't they sell just regular gloss lips for half the price of actual CF. Why would you even want real CF on the front end where it's going to get scratched as hell.

I have the Arkym lip too, like mine!

Should be $250-$300 of labor at an Indy shop. Bring your own gaskets.

Also a very easy diy fix. There's plenty of youtube videos on it with step by step instructions. I've done it 2x. If you can change your own oil you can also tackle the ofhg.
Takes about 1.5 hrs. and costs you only a gasket and oil change.

Very easy DIY, plenty of guides to be found on here/YouTube.

Hello everyone, for a while now I’ve been looking to join a bmw online community of fellow bmw enthusiasts and I’ve finally picked this one. I’ve been browsing around the forum and looking to do an introduction and I thought his thread would be the most appropriate. (I own a 335is)

My first bmw was a 2003 e46 M3 with an manaual tranny, oritental metallic blue, convertible. WOW! what fun that car was and how many girls got to see the back seat (yes it was hard back there). The car had 100k miles when I bought it and was in prestige condition I put another 100k miles on it before finally selling it and buying a beautiful 2013 33is with 32k Miles (pictures will follow) January 2019.

Before my e93 I had never really bothered with any sort of mods but now, that’s a thing of the past I’m building my IS to be a performence monster! But one thing I have always done is my own maintenance. None of my cars have ever seen a shop or any other mechanic than myself I’ve done everything from an oil, control arms, vanos rebuild, door lock actuators, oil pan gasket, pullys and even rear axle differential. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty under the hood

With my IS I’ve done the same all work done by me, currently we are running the following mods:
CFS Alumminum radiator
Mishimoto performance Intercooler
AFE stage two cold air intake
HKS aluminum charge pipe with BOV (sounds amazing!)
Custom red start button
Red carbon fiber extended paddle shifters
Carbon fiber steering wheel insert

Mods on the way:
Cobb farted down pipes
Tune (I’m thinking jb4)
Painting Calibers
Rim protec (just need to install, I’ve been lazy)

I had no problems with 275/30/19 on a 19x10 ET40 wheel.
I'm actually selling my HRE's with the tires in the private classifieds section..

Hey a 2011 335is would've come with index 9 injectors right? Just looked at my car and they're all 12 so they were replaced at some point?

Not sure, been wondering the same myself. Why'd you pull yours?

I was kinda trying to start to diagnose my weird idle. Sometimes it dances a bit by 100 rpm and I feel a slight vibration. Just changed my plugs and coils and didn't fix it.

I didn't pull them out, you can barely see index number if you place your head right lol. Some of them had to pull the coil to see better. Couldn't see last 2 100% sure but if all the rest are 12 I'm sure number 5 and 6 are as well.

Was there any oil on the plugs? I'm assuming your intake valves have been blasted, so the second culprit is typically the VCG or a cracked VC.

Actyually at this point I was thinking the only possible thing it could be the intake valve. I've never done it and got the car at 60k miles and now at 65k miles. It is on my weekend checklist to take a look at them if I have time.

But yeah I think my VCG is begging to leak for sure since one plug did have a small oil puddle.

The others were not to bad.

I believe #3 is the most common spot for the oil to pool. But if you haven't had your intake valves walnut blasted then that is definitely what is causing your stumbling idle.

I did it myself for a little under US$200 using cheap Harbor Freight tools and an air compressor I rented for the day. There are quite a few of guides around these forums that outline will outline what you need to buy.

Yeah I'm sure if I were in the US that would be possible.
