I just want my car to sound like Chewbacca gargling a mouth full of rocks.

I think you mistyped that. Should be 0.5yrs yes?

So this is classic brand snobbery at its finest (I realize there's a lot of that around here since we all own Bimmers, but please try to fight it a little). Also, why do you feel the need to bring another car into the discussion? I'm not defending anyone, but you're doing the same thing that the older folks were doing earlier, trying to make themselves sound cooler because they ride (or used to ride) faster bikes. Granted, this thread is a joke, but the point was to compare the N52 and N54. So let your argument stand on its own. A tuned N54 is unequivocally faster than any N52, even with a "slow" 6MT. So yes, people who bought an N54 instead of an N52 did so because they wanted to go fast (relative to N52). And the fact that you would call out someone's relatively inexpensive intercooler, downpipes, and charge pipes is strange indeed. It's almost as if you don't understand how simple these parts are and would instead prefer to overpay for a badge (perhaps even a carbon fiber one).

You're the beta cuck poster boy.

Any N52 peasant thinking he has the better platform is a chump that probably financed the car and/or can't work on it him self. Very doubtful they can afford German maintenance to begin with, so how the hell would you be able to maintain a twin turbo engine. Give up the pipe dreams.

Leave the cars to owners who can maintain and respect the car.

What is the one necessary thing an N54 owner needs to keep in his car?

A national directory of private towing companies.

[Efthreeoh]

Oh wait, I forgot. N54 owners never drive their cars beyond visual line of sight of their driveway. So local tow companies only.

I tow my n54 to the shop even when it runs. More reliable.

The impotent rage in here (as well as the creation of that other thread) is hilarious and very telling of the fact that some people just don't read. Or else, it would have been fairly clear this whole thread was created in sarcasm

Bold of you to assume they make it out the driveway

I think the issue is that most of us are being sarcastic, but there are a few who didn't get it and took it personally.

[freakystyly]

I take it personally when salty N54 broke down tears rust my N52.



Seriously tho it's a losing battle, need 3pedaljake to do contract work restoring rusty e90s.

The very first time I laid eyes on my 335xi in person it was on the back of a tow truck. True story. And yes it ran fine after I told the driver that it is not CA and he needed to put the key in the slot in order to start it.

Interesting factoid... the one instance my 325i needed assistance getting home was when the WP went tits up at 149,251 miles. The tow truck driver mentioned his daily was a 2009 328i that he relies on to get to the tow company so he can get his truck to tow N54's when in need...

No turbos = fewer things to go wrong and less wear on the engine.

I feel like because N52 is more popular, there will be more posts in general relating to it, and people only post when they have a problem. Not everyone will find it remarkable enough to post that their car is "working fine" except for special cases like the 400,000 mile guy. Seems like negative bias in data, like the thing with restaurant reviews where no one leaves a review if the food was just acceptable: not terrible, not amazing either.

Regardless of the miles collected, I've routinely posted on E90 post how great the E90 chassis is to drive. Others post similar enjoyable moments with their cars, even the N54 guys between shop visits.

lol why do you have to debate this? i’ll be reading for now but n54 owners chill with their cars most times
