Not a problem at all, always happy to help out where i can! First thing to do imho (if you dont already have it), is buy a bcables D-CAN silver cable and download the free diagnostics software from here: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1204192 it will literally save you thousands.

Ha ha, is a nice car this! By the time i saw it for sale you'd bought it, otherwise it would be me making this thread and retrofitting CIC :ROFLMAO: FYI this has the very rare N52K engine (same power as N53, but reliability of the N52), so if you do ever come to sell it, make sure you advertise...

lol! Good old BMW service departments :ROFLMAO:

Not much of an update, but have now swopped out the JBE and finished off the CIC installation inc. re-coding the headunit from Base to L7 output using NCS Dummy. Just missed out on a combox earlier on for £100, sold in the time it got listed, i added it to myebay, then went and made a coffee...

My project thread was here: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/sir_daves-trophy-1-x-miley-shed.518656/ I sold it to a mate, he sold it to a chap called kelv. He turned it into a track car and his mate blew it up at bedford. Its probably still sat in his lockup. Tried to buy it back a few times...

I think id rather look like a doctor than a low level pharmaceuticals distributor. I am old though :ROFLMAO: Jokes aside, realistically the grills dont look too bad on black cars, just dont do the wheels in black as well ffs.

Re: the doorlocks, they auto lock as you pull away, then auto unlock when you remove the key. To unlock them with the key in the ignition, simply pull the handle twice, once to unlock, once to get out. Rear doors are probably child locked, or one is broken. Secret menu is here...

My 335's getting 40 odd on the motorway, high 20's with solely town useage, mid 30's on average. Have you checked that yours is getting up to temperature correctly? Should be high 80's/90 coolant wise iirc. Car looks great btw! Re: the DPF, they can be a bit smelly with it removed apparently...

These things are so council, but i do love them :love: :ROFLMAO: (y)

Such an absolute bargain @Tim. Hope it treats you well! The e90's are a surprisingly good steer for a "normal" car once you get through the "comfort levels" of the suspension and start leaning on it a bit ????

Tell me about it! I bet the pipework to feed it is still under the centre console as well :ROFLMAO:

Good little bit of tinkering there! Which reminds me, today i found out that the LCI model doesnt have the chilled coke can holder under the armrest like the pre LCI version. Right penny pinching from BMW, so more retrofits for me to do :rolleyes:

Its very annoying!! Thankfully, the modification to fix it is really easy, takes longer to get the airbag off (y) Steeering wheel removal guide is here: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11825

Had a bit more of a poke around with the 335d yesterday, purely as the underfloor subs didnt seem to be working. After removing the front seats, i was pleasantly surprised to find a set of MB Quart's staring back up at me, along with some wiring to the boot, where, despite the tell tale signs...

So for a variety of reasons, the 335i hasnt really moved much this month, mainly because i was using the 325i in the run up to Le Mans, but also because post "brokenwindowgate" i also noticed that the Bistable Relay (KL30g_f) in the Junction Box (the bit that the JBE/Junction Box Electronics...

Yes. Every day. Compared to the other e9*s ive had, it is just a step up in terms of driving pleasure, handling, noise, plus "the event" of driving it. The 335i is probably just as quick in everyday driving, but it simply doesnt reward you at the top end like the M3's V8 did. That engine. Wow...

I just like the variety ? Have fun: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=72&t=1686320&i=0 Everyone seems to hate the PH forum, but i find its really rather simple format quite refreshing compared to some!! That makes me feel like im not the only nutter in the room, thank you...

Well, most of it :p Not for ages lol, unless the 3.0 petrols get to sub £5k sooner than i think ... In terms of the 325i updates. This just happened. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Semi-jokingly said i had too many e9*'s in a thread on PH, chap messaged me telling he wanted it, viewed it...

Couple of cans of tyre weld, but if its proper knackered, as per @alistairolsen breakdown cover and a nice 4 hour wait on the side of the road no doubt ? Alternatively, this solution would work: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=808084

XHP is available, should say on the massive e90post thread somewhere and/or the website id imagine. Glad you go this bought, as soon as you sent it to me i knew it was a good un!! 39mpg is probably about right for motorway use on the N53, ive just done 800 miles to and from Le Mans, fully...

Looks lovely!!! As said above, xenons are always good to have :cool: Glad i could help you out!!
