I thought the CP was upgraded from the pics.

Well I do have the wastegate rattle but so far no turbo lag and oil temps are to the left of 250 on the cluster. The car is mainly in the middle from 0 to 250. Also, with the M3 front bumper I have, there are no fogs to allow more cooling. According to Braman BMW where I got the service records, the turbo's haven't been touched so I'm not sure if I have stock turbo's or upgraded as you mentioned. Also as already mentioned, HPFP was replaced at 18K miles. I wonder, has anyone experienced the updated HPFP fail on them recently? I know back in 2007-2008 owners were getting 3-4 per year until they finally fixed it.

Ok well, if the turbos were upgraded to larger, there is a good chance the guy did it at an indy--but assuming it is a larger turbo there still has to be something that would increase boost. Have you delved in to N54tech yet? If your car is a heavily modded car that is the place where the experts are.

Yeah for some reason my pics are too big to upload on here so I can show you guys what I see. I'll need the better 1/2 to resize it as I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Once I get that done I'll post here and the N54 section as I'm sure I'll get some answers. RennTech, though 2.5 hours north of me but I would make the drive, aren't open on Saturdays as I cannot take off work until I get hired permanently (just to impress them that I'm always here and never call out). They told me I can come up whenever so they can plug in my car and see if I have any of their software installed but I'm sure I can get that figured out with someone closer. Most modded 335i's I see have the dual cone filters but this car has the factory airbox/filter which I find odd.

Update:

So on FB I belong to a BMW group for the South Florida region and posted a pic of my 335i and the previous owner made a comment saying how I'm lucky, it's a great car and even my indy mechanic said the same, how he's worked on it. I'm going to send them both PM's for more information.

She's in hot water with upper management. So far this week she's taken long lunch breaks (3 hours each day), called out Tuesday and almost miss a deadline yesterday and found out her reports were incorrect. Not too much time left.

3 hour lunch breaks? She's only a Senior Financial Analyst wtf. She must not have fucked the right people.

Too much drama and she usually strolls in at 10:30, just like how in every movie when the main character always strolls into work after everyone is already at their desks.

She is very attractive, though. She must feel a large sense of entitlement. And she'd be right. I'd spoil her IDGAF.


Take her to 7-11 she can have all the taquitos she wants.

Did your Inb4 nullify all combinations, because I was thinking you might go for spoiling some ghey meat, but not sure if you are already indemnified?

If this is the case, you need to see if you can bang her in the bathroom or the office supplies closet.

Keep

[F30lolz]

Well it's been about a year with this one. Up next, carbon blasting and maybe getting the turbo's replaced under the wastegate rattle warranty (keeping my fingers crossed).

Also I've considered crossing over to the dark side at 2013 C classes . Thoughts on the c250/300's? Known issues? My wife just got a CTS coupe 3.6, not the CTS-V as she's got a heavy foot like Brian Earl Spilner and will blow herself to pieces. Now I'm thinking about changing gears and getting something else. Thoughts? Opinions both negative and positive are encouraged. Plus, I ban myself for not posting this in the Bmw section.

Pop open the hood before you even start the car. Reach down the left side of the engine and grab the waste gate linkage to the rear turbo (you cant get to the front one) and feel for slop. If its loose and rattles you will need to rebuild or replace the turbos. I can bet you at 70k it has some slop unless the turbos have already been worked on.

To put it quite frankly, I wouldn't buy a n54 unless you plan to do the turbos. Its a pretty big job if you plan to do it your self.

I get code 30ff with 1/2 check engine symbol from time to time, however, no hesitations. Matter of fact happened on the way home from work but I didn't clear the code. I might head to the dealer in the morning and see if it'll be covered by them seeing the code still stored. In service date was mid June 2009 so time is running out on that 8!yr warranty. If not then I'll just have them upgraded With the help of a local member.
