blowing 2 engines in 4 years is not modifying cars. Its wrecking engines.

Also you can begin to start doubting my passion for this platform when you have a few more posts and contributions. I cannot be all negative and not be passionate. I dont coat shit. I know very well what these cars can do well and what they cant do well.

2011 e92 335xi N55 - 67k miles

[FlyingBuckeye3]

2011 e90 335xi N55 - 89k miles

I've had the car for exactly a year and replaced the coolant expansion tank (2x), waterpump/thermostat, windshield, and both front tires (darn pothole).

Prior to me, the spark plugs, oil pan gasket, and front struts were all replaced.

This is good to hear. I just bought the same exact car with 83xxx last Friday and am feeling hopeful. The prepurchase inspection guys couldn't believe how clean it was, and the dealer today concurred it was in great shape.

Only thing it needs right now are thrust rod bushings. Most of the other notorious stuff around this mileage was done by the previous owner at the dealer, and I was able to get all of those records today.

42,xxx miles on my 2013 E92 xDrive. Bought it several months ago with 35,xxx on the clock.

Since buying:
-Replaced DMTL pump
-Patched fuel tank breather hose
-Replaced radiator

I credit most of the issues to buying a car that had barely been driven by the previous owner (and had rodent nests hiding behind underbody panels). These cars were meant to be driven.

Other than that everything else is near perfect.

2011 BMW 535i M Sport with 200,500 miles and going. Will be replacing the timing chain this year and installing my second set of injector. Water pump lasted until about 160,000 miles. Replaced the transmission filter and pan for a second time. I still have the original alternator. I had weird issue where I just had to replace the cable from the + jump point to the alternator because of the insulation melting away at the terminal under the hood.

Wow, I have the exact car and am hoping to keep it for years to come. At like 90k now.

Do you have service history for the car? How long did the clutch last (or still original)?
