Shmaa Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 And you'd be wrong. Sounds like you already know what you want. Just know that with ANY mod AT ALL you'll have to fight for any warranty work. Don't get me wrong, the n54 is a great motor and BMW put it in a great car. But, it takes an enthusiast to live with the car's issues. I get what you are trying to say and that is why it is a tough call. From the responses in here I have certainly learned more about the upsides and downfalls (which have me worried). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmaa Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sounds like quite a bit of hassle just to say you own a BMW/Audi/dildo Not sure what you are trying to say. If I wanted to do that I would just list everything I own in my sig. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmaa Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 If I can help let me know since I'm at MAG Audi and I can go over to BMW to work a deal. It would be nice to learn more about the BMW store with a member. Thanks. I will check out the inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0nk3y Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Forums blow things out of proportions when it comes to failures. You get all of the enthusiasts and people that complain about all problems they have, the want to vent. But you never have the normal people that have nothing wrong rave about the car. The M Coupe is suppose to have a VANOS failure that makes the engine go boom, yet the failure rate is lower than 1% where forums makes it seem like 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want the 335 just don't want something that will break down on the wife too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any difference in the drivetrain? Someone was telling me today that the 535 had a better reliability rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Forums make everything seem worse. If everyone who had no problems made a post, it would be different.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
