Steve at A1 noticed my radiator has a small leak, which means a new radiator....but I'm trying my hardest now to resist getting the extra water radiator fitted that comes with the BMW official 335 power kit. It's the same kit fitted to the 1M, and if I'm needing to get the coolant system drained for a new radiator it makes sense to get this kit done at the same time....Man maths, I love it |

The "more power bug" has me well bitten though. I'm holding out for the RB stage 3's. Hoping the intakes can be modified to fit our RHD. Obviously this will mean ditching the extended warranty. But could bring 650bhp+ WM |

1:Electric water pump replacement 2: Autobox sleeve leak 3: High pressure fuel pump replacement 4: Oil filter gasket leak 5: Main water radiator leak Total ALL IN cost is around £3K for that lot, so over 4 years of ownership about £70/month, which really isnt that bad. It's flown through 4 MOTs now with not even an advisor note. By far the biggest cost is mods.....the numbers of mods/retrofits etc you can do to these cars just seem endless ....Still its cheaper than swapping cars, given that my 335i has pretty much stopped depreciating I can now justify more £££ to be spent on mods. Cannot justify hybrid turbos though, however if my car was to develop a wastegate rattle, or any other turbo releated issue that'll enough reason for me to get some RB units...So come on wastegates, your suppose to fail at some point |

It's limiting what I can do with regards to mods though. So I have accepted that the next step will result in me losing the warranty and committing to keeping the car. Quote:
The RB 3's look to use stock sized housings, so I'm hoping a bit of modification on the intake piping will get them on RHD. I will be going for the Burger supplemental fueling kit. The MoTiv one is a work of art but is a lot of money and hard to justify when you compare it to the Burger kit. |

With the upkeep costs of an M3 and the mileage you seem to be doing and the ///M modding tax I'd stick with the 335i for sure. Mine is a proper long term keeper and I'm gonna mod the hell out of it over time.

Thank you
Just put 2 new tyres on the rear, only seems like a few months ago I put these ones on. Oh yes it was only November that's probably why

Car is booked in again Friday, wheel bearing , its making a horrible noise like its lost its grease. My mechanic thinks that maybe the route of my vibration issues this whole time.
Feckin hope so ! On a positive note , dropped my boss off to get 2 tyres fitted to his Frozen Edition M3 today and rinsed him on the journey there and when we picked it up. There goes my payrise and bonus
