I'm really surprised at how condescending you all are as BMW drivers. I came here for simple technical information and then a guy tells me to buy a Civic, another guy calls me a troll, and everyone thinks I can't afford the car lol. This is a joke honestly

First, the only reason BWM appear to be unreliable is due to the fact forums like this exist and the BMW crowd have very high expectations and complain about everything.
I have 07 335i MT with 170K miles and engine is running strong no major issues except standard maintenance. Now, BMW plastic parts suck break all the time, stupid little things happen like window regulators breaking, mirror moving on their own because the home pin getting stuck, and various other stupid little things breaking on a 12 yr old car but what would you expect. When I bought the car I was told, it's not the cost to buy that hurts, it's the cost to maintain the car. So you have to plan to spend lots to keep the car on the road. Yes you can do the work, but parts cost more, yes you can find knock off parts but they will not last like the OEM parts. You're luck their forum like this with lot's of information to help diagnoses problems. |

Bottom line is that we wonder how you're going to figure out how to buy, fund, and maintain a 12 year old expensive car when you can't manage to search the naturally aspirated engine subforum, brimming of the exact info you were seeking. Instead, you manage to spend four pages rubbing an entire forum the wrong way. Guy buys his first auto tools, is an expert of all things automotive...because he bought some tools. Look out guys, he's mentally committed to getting a n54 e90. It's going to come true because I read it on the internet. Wait, no wait, apparently according to his signature he "drives" an e90 330 manual. Where'd this come from? Here in the United States of America, the first amendment right (of free speach) has nothing to do with the protection of irritating, ignorant, juvenile morons. You nitwit. It protects our right to speak against a tyrannical government. This, my friend, is how we know that involved car ownership is going to be a challenge for you. You can't get a petty insult straight. How hypocritical that you complain that others have spoken against your behavior, yet cite some "right" to be a crude, offensive, jerk to others. Last edited by johnmyster; 06-16-2019 at 07:56 PM.. |

FWIW, the thread where you suggested a throwout bearing diagnosis on an auto car was priceless. Watch out, n52 engines use really expensive brake booster hydraulic vacuum fluid. |

I have a high mileage N52. I have spent a decent share on replacement parts but nothing out of the ordinary for a 10+ year old car with 188K miles.
I found it particularly interesting that the OP comes asking for advice on N52 and then offends the owner of probably one of the highest mileage N52 in North America. |

Have you considered any of what I and several others have actually asked / said? It's hard knowing what you can and cannot afford. Even harder is looking at something you want and having the volition to say that "no, I cannot afford this." Mark of an adult, something which you are clearly not. |

Ok so I've given up on the 335i because I'd have to sell a kidney to replace the turbos if anything goes wrong, so now it's between the E90 330 or E46 330Ci. The N52 has the water pump issue and the M54 has the CCV issue but less complicated overall and they're almost matched on speed. I could always get both in the next few years so whatever
