Any N54 reliability issues so far?
I wanted to see if any 535i or 335i owners had experienced any reliability issues with the N54 motor yet. I'm salivating for a 135i but I don't want to be left in the lurch with an unreliable turbocharged engine.

Looks like there will be market for an after-market oil cooler!

BMW is retrofitting a second oil cooler for 335 people who complain and have experienced limp mode due to the high temps...

Makes me wonder if the 135i with its, I assume slightly smaller engine bay, will experience even worse oil temp issues than the 335i.

The motor on the 135 will be called the N54HP it will be fixed of all current 335i problems such as the fuel pump and oil temperature.

What is your source to back up that statement?

Best friends brother inlaw who overheard a discussion while working as a car jockey at the local stealership.

My S54 barely breaks 100 C (212 F) at the track & never on the street (95 C). I'm looking at the 1er as a long term daily driver. Because of the high oil temp, I would definitely go 128i if full M Sport was available. (not holding my breath on that one.... )

I can remember once when I was traveling with a van and I was driving a 325e. I was cruising at 85 for a couple of hours and when we pulled over the van was running so hot that the paint had blistered on it's hood. OTOH you could still touch the 325e's engine. That powerplant definitely ran cool. :roundel: |
