In regards to that got to say that flywheel is probably K.O., when you shift it sometimes do a noise like somebody punch the tranny with hammer. I will sort it out during this year. Once the car will be on the lift i will replace transmission mounts for red polyurethane and most probably the engine mounts.
I should also consider a oil pan reseal, as there are drips on the garage floor.

Other then that cant see, hear or feel any problems with drivetrain of the vehicle.

After i got the headers the throttle response and pull in midrange improved a lot.
Of course its not a race car and i will most probably silence it with some glasspacks soon, cause there is a strong drone between 2000 - 2500 under heavy load, cause the xpipe is not silenced.

PS: i edit my original post with adding a change of both primary O2 sensors, cuse BANK2 died. Even BMW estimated there lifespan for 220kkm

Not an N52 and not the highest mileage, but hopefully some folks will appreciate this. Car is going strong. To another 200k miles. Well, after it gets there..

I paid 500 for having aftermarket Bosh spark plugs and they weren't even problem to begin with. I really need help! Any recommendations or ideas?. I've gotten all my spark plug changed, coil pack looking good still, and they also fixed my fuel injector which was leaking on cylinder 2. Thank you

Always keep going to another dealership for sulev warranty. They will work on it for sure.

WTF LOLOL. I wanna do dyno. I wonder how much a 330i gets.

If i will not get enough money to buy E90 M3, i will most probably drive this, until the day i die

Secretly i think of finding M3 engine cheaply and put it on my E91. Perhaps compressor so total 650hp. One day.. when electric cars frenzy rises.

Im not even tempted for newer cars cuz electric steering. 2nd car - E36 328i track-car?

Ive been there... actually thinking about a swap every day. S54, S65, S85, S55...
Putting in the S65 with standard sedan front would create an ultimate sleeper
Not speaking about project like Hardge H50...
But IMHO it would be a financial overkill, unless you can do majority of work your self.
Days when the automotive market was controlled by automobile enthusiast are obviously gone

Indeed, sport car enthusiasts are no longer their main customers. Perhaps only the M-sport division. Imagine repairing all electronic components in the new cars.

It is definitely cheaper for DIY if you buy something from U.S. like an engine and buy spare parts in Europe. Who wants to buy a used e91 with V8? Hence the budget build.

A sleeper would be awesome. Keep all original E90 325i/330i exterior look.

They even kept the original Aero kit.

I prefer that front look over M3.

My N52 has been perfect for 110k but now seems to have gone pop

So they saying “If you drive really well this (2980lbs 225hp) car can do Nürburgring BTG under 8 minutes.”

That sounds really ambitious given those stats? A stock S2000 does 8:39 and is lighter with more power. They are saying those e90’s are heavier with less power and over 40 seconds faster. The M2C does like 7:52, I don’t see how can those E90’s come so close with that.

You have to consider that this E90 has lost a lot of weight and still kept stock engine. The weight is a bit under 1200kg (more or less). 2650lbs..

Then look what tires they are using. I think it is slicks.

Nurburgring is such a track where you rarely brake a lot then accelerate. Keep speed from 100km/h to 200km/h. Some corners are crazy like Schwedenkruez which is driven at almost 180km/h.

I post a video to show how much weight is removed.

I don’t know where you got 2650lbs? The weight I quoted (2980lbs) is what I got from their website on the same page as description of it running sub 8:00 times which I also quoted:

This thread needs an excel spread sheet.

low budget yes. 1300kg is more appropriate. I was mixing numbers.

Look, 1225kg GTR E90

https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/t...hleife.448178/

It wont stop you getting sub 13xx kg weight whether n52, v8.

[daniel35d]

There is a guy in the awful "BMW E90 E92 E82 OWNERS" Facebook group with a 373.000 mile 06 330i. Both the car and the inside of the engine still looks great.

That was seriously so fun to watch. Literally had a smile on my face after the turn action started around the 1 minute mark.

Anyone high mileage 330is with valve tick?

I'm at about 237k mi on my 06 330i and no tick. I'm using Liquimoly 5w40 molygen. However, no tick even before that with Mobil 1 0w40.

[konner412]

I've got two! The 128i has 101k and has been heavily modified since January of 2017. I've had the 1 series since 2014 and around 43k. The 325xi has 152k and is bone stock other than a modified air box and silicone boot. Just picked this one up a month ago and put about 1100 miles on it so far. No major issues from either one.
