I have included what has been completed along with the mileage. The car is on original turbos with zero issues and no rattle. I always let the car warm up to proper temperature and always let the car cool down after any trips beyond 15 miles(which is mostly on my way to and from work) that's pretty much the only place I drive it. The downpipes have passed Illinois emissions with no issues with no Downpipe fix needed. (please look into your state regulations as each state varies how cars are tested) Service List E8X/E9X/E6X 135i/335i/535i Spark Plugs Need to be done every ~50k Miles (Oem Bmw plugs @ 50k , NGK 95770 @ 73k, NGK 95770 @ 78k) Oil Leaks: · Valve Cover Gasket-Walnut Blast and New Intake gasket @ 65k and 78k Oil filter Housing gasket(s) will start to leak around 100k miles (Oil Filter housing gasket @ 53.8k) · Oil pan gasket leaks begin to show up frequently north of 120k · Rear Main Seal leaks are uncommon but do happen (Crankshaft Seal @ 77k) · Turbo feed/drain lines occasionally leak Coils will begin to fail around 80-100k miles, best to replace all 6 at once.( Bosh coils @ 60k and Eldor Coils @ 78k ) Main Drive belt and tensioner should be done before 100k. · Injectors sometimes fail. They have been updated a number of times and are currently on a -12 revision. Most cars shipped with -05 to -07 injectors. Decouplers should be replaced at the same time. Injectors need to be coded to the car. (New Injectors Newest Index @ 53.8k) Depending on driving aggressiveness Thrust arm bushings will fail around 100k. Can be replaced with ball joint type aftermarket ones. NEED TRW control arms Walnut Blasting necessary as often as every 40-50k miles. Do this with new intake manifold gaskets (Walnut Blast and New Intake gasket @ 65k) Waste gates: Waste gate rattle both internal and external to the turbo will begin in some cases as early as 70k depending on a number of factors. Some things can directly cause this however like vacuum lines. Adding catless downpipes will magnify waste gate rattle issues. Failing wastegate thrust bearings can cause under/overboost conditions as the wastegate arms inside the turbo can Jam. Vacuum lines going from the vacuum pump to the vac canisters and ones going from the waste gate solenoids to the turbos can crumble and leak. Will cause underboost codes and or waste gate rattle in most instances.(Verocious Platinum Cured Silicone Vacuum Lines @75k ) Smoking: Caused by a number of different things from the PCV system to turbos. The valve cover PCV system can internally fail and cause significant smoking/consumption. Adding downpipes to the car further makes the smoking more apparent as the cats are no longer 'filtering' the smoke coming through them. (RB PCV valve) Tunes/Tuning: The N54 is run by an extremely complicated ECU (MSD80/MSD81) and when you begin to tamper with this many things can happen · After adding a tune, if you haven't already, you will have to do plugs/coils soon as the increase in boost level taxes the coils further · MHD Tuning is a proper flash tuning alternative and allows user customization as well as a number of different off the shelf tunes Fuel System: When 'tuning' to extremely high power levels, fueling needs become a concern. People are currently adding secondary in tank pumps, secondary high pressure pumps and secondary direct port injection fuel rails as well as meth to compensate.( I have my car tuned with cobb. As it's my DD and I have never had issues or any reason to change a very simple setup) Cooling System: · Water Pump/Thermostat is good to around 100k. Past that and you're on borrowed time assuming you haven't done many coolant flushes(water pump changes @ 43.5k) · Oil cooler: If you don't have a factory installed one, you need one as any spirited driving will drop you into limp mode. If you do have one, this alone won't keep you safe if you do an extensive amount of hard driving/track/drift/etc. Additional aftermarket oil cooler setups are recommended · Adding an intercooler is a good idea for any car street or track to keep the extremely high IATs down that are caused by the twin turbos. (Wagner FMIC @ 57k) Vanos: Expect to do vanos solenoids around 100k or sooner depending on how often the oil was changed. You can sometimes get away with cleaning them but typically vanos codes (2A87/2A88) will return. Worst case scenario is oil pressure to vanos hubs is being lost through cam trays ("hook ring seals") Cam trays/ledges will need to be replaced as well as the updated Teflon cam seals Differentials: If you're into performance driving you will want an LSD. The factory open diff is sufficient for many but not most. There are a number of aftermarket alternatives available in this regard from gear type to clutch type. "Limp Mode": Arguably the most infuriating thing about these cars is they will frequently for a number of reasons engage limp or failsafe mode (half engine light). This can be caused by a number of things from a cooling system issue, under/over boost, vanos, fuel injection, misfire, etc. ( happened once @ 48k when I accidentally pulled off one of the vacuum lines from the canister when detailing the engine bay) Boost Leaks: Factory Charge pipes going to the throttle body randomly fail at stock or elevated boost levels. The factory diverter valves can also leak. The Hot side charge piping rarely leaks. Adding an intercooler also adds more couplers and clamps that can leak. Boost leaks can and will cause extra wear on the turbos as the ECU attempts to compensate for the loss of boost by working the turbos harder. (VRSF Chargepipe @ 56k) Oil System: Besides the aforementioned leaking issues, these engines are sometimes riddled with sludging issues because of BMW's suggested oil change intervals. This can sometimes lead to stuff like Rod knock although this is fairly uncommon and seemingly random(oil changes every 5k miles) Battery: Extremely overlooked and neglected this simple thing can cause widespread havoc on your car. Keep it in good condition. When it's starting to fail the IBS system will decouple the battery after you shut the car off thus turning the water pump off after the car shuts down that acts as a 'turbo timer' to cool the turbos down after shutdown. New Battery's need to be 'registered.' If changing battery capacity, battery needs to be 'coded' to CAS module. (New battery @ 67k) |

After a long time of wanting to sell, not wanting to sell, backing out of selling, couldn't get loan for future car... etc etc... it's time to officially sell. I can't continue using this as my daily driver especially here in Illinois during the winter months and especially this year. As it has done nothing but snow heavy. The large amounts of snow accumulations makes things a little unsafe for my liking.
Anyway only things that have changed since the last post are an additional Oil change @ 93k with liquid Moly. Current Milage is at 94,xxx. Will climb about 100 miles a week as that's about all I drive it. For an added bonus I will if buyer wants put in new plugs and coils, as I have lifetime warranty through FCP. Thank you all bimmerpost community for all the help and support with everything since I have purchased the 1er. I would really want this to go to an enthusiast. This has been nothing but a great car to me. Please feel free to PM me or text me with with any questions. I will be more than happy to answer. Yes the car is very dirty right now because of this bitter cold winter... I will have it cleaned up for buyer before pick to reflect the pictures above. |
