Preparing High Mileage N54 for Track Abuse
I just picked up a 2007 335i e92 as a daily/future track car. Details about car:
2007 91k miles OEM Oil Cooler New turbos at 67k miles New thermostat, water pump, and HP and LP fuel pumps within last 30k miles Since I bought it: Walnut blast Oil Change Diff and Trans fluid to Redline Synthetic New spark plugs and ignition coils What other preventative maintenance should be done before I go to the track? I currently race a fully built/spec'd 350z for TT4 and ST4 series, but want to move to the 335i platform within the next 2 years to compete in ST3 and eventually ST2.

Cool, thanks! I will be going with both aftermarket FMIC and CP, but my #1 focus is making sure OEM components are in proper working order before I do any modifications.
I see more failures on the track due to poor maintenance vs lack of modification.

Similar with CP, since a breakage could be an issue, although I still have my plastic oem with a flexible silicon elbow. I was looking at my list - to add boost solenoids RB Pcv valve my radiator leaked at 85kmi and was replaced...

Boost solenoids and RB PCV Valve is something I will do more homework on. Thank you!

Brake fluid is definitely a must but I'd change out that redline for zf fluid regardless of tracking.
Edit: assuming you're auto. If 6 speed, disregard that. |

Yes, I will be going DOT 4 fluid. It is 6MT, so I will be going with Redline MT fluid as well as their diff. gear fluid.
