E92 335i

[-Dan-]

Nice motor, I went for the D over the I due to the fact I had just jumped out off a 8mpg Scooby so wanted to see some improvement, having the D remapped has made the biggest gain i've felt in a car from a simple map! 284bhp to 350hp then take the DPF off and have the map tweaked again its not up to 380bhp and 730nm

Same sparkling graphite as yours

Makes me sad to see another new post, and rather than pictures and a post about how awesome it is, another problem.

One with some extra ponies and M3 LSD for sale on a local forum....

More pics of that please, along with the exact spec of the wheels, offsets/widths etc.

Have to be tonight, no others on my photobucket, wheels are genuine M3 competition wheels, front is 9J ET31 with 245/35/19 and the rear is 10J ET25 with 265/30/19 tyre

 

[ColinG]

That looks brilliant!!

@-Dan- That makes me really want me LCI rear lights.

I'm guessing yours isn't an LCI though? Where are the lights from?

You need LCI lights, makes such a nice difference looks a lot more modern at night, got mine from a forum member for £300 and coded them in myself

Looks soo good

BMW checked the car on Friday and confirmed it was the AC Compressor (it's under warranty, just have to wait 2 weeks to get booked in).

Drove to the coast at the weekend, the whine got worse and then suddenly it sounded like something came loose while driving home.

It now sounds like this:


I'm not moving it until they send a tech to my house. Fortunately I have another car to use or I'd be screwed for work.

I hope this topic is enough to show a 335i NEEDS a warranty.

 

[C.J]

No problems since April. Waterpump was replaced under warranty (local indi quoted £995, so no idea what BMW would have cost).

I'm always looking to replace it, still no idea what I want though, so it'll stay for now.

 

[Stefan.]

Good looking motor though

 

[Addicted]

I wish these were more reliable, they're one of the best shaped BMWs recently.

 

[DannyR]

I would buy one and swap it for the Missus scirocco, but my boss had one and had so many problems, I couldn't afford the BMW Warranty too!

That's a lovely photo, but I think your slacking a bit. That grass is way too long for your usual standard, I thought we would have had the mower in the boot.

 

[leeds2592]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is absolutely spot on. Wish I could afford one

 

[C.J]

Cheers lads. Hopefully taking it to a RWYB next month, so it'll be interesting to see how I do.

 

[C.J]

Took it to a RWYB day yesterday (it's only 8 miles down the road, so I should go more often).
I managed to get 12 runs in throughout the day. Missed a couple of gears. I'm not sure what times I should be getting, but I didn't strip anything out and had more than 1/2 tank of fuel, obviously standard.

My quickest time was 13.63 @ 102mph (video below). I was up against a 135i that managed a 13.2 @ 107mph (he said his was stock too, I guess it's lighter?).

0-60mph times weren't always tracked, but my best was 5.36s on my 5th fastest 1/4 run.

Overall a really good day, and has made me think about getting a JB4/Cobb for it.

My best 3 runs:

It just looks so epic.

E92 ftw.

E92 ftw.

Haha cheers.

Surprisingly there was only 1 other E92 at the strip (335d, 'mapped to 380). I raced it once and obviously lost, but can't remember which run it was to check his time.

 

[_Tom]

The strip is fun isnt it. Is yours standard mate?

 

[leeds2592]

Looks so mean without the front plate.

 

[C.J]

Yep, mine is standard. They are ~301 - 306bhp standard (depending on where you read) and 0-60 in 5 - 5.5s. It feels quicker, but I reckon it's pretty spot on.

If my 0-60 time on my 5th quickest run was 5.3s, I reckon my best 0-60 was 5.1s that day.

In hindsight I should have gone with no fuel and took the crap out of the boot/child seat etc.

Well you took the number plates off, so there was that bit of weight saving!!

LOL. In the boot to keep the power down.

Went out in another 335i tonight that had a JB4 and Meth. F**k me. Seriously unreal.

Driving mine home felt like a 325i. I need a JB4.

 

[C.J]

Lovely noise.



Will be calling BMW today. Possibly water pump? Strange it happens before I even unlock the car though.

 

[fixedgear]

Lovely car. Mine looks identical bar the badge on the back.

What suspension is it on? I'm about to purchase a Bilstein B12 Pro setup, as my dampers feel knackered on the rear, bottoms out a lot and wallows.

Mine's on standard suspension.

I read from various sources that the Billies make the car much better. Will report back.

I cant hear it in work but if it's before you start the car surely its more likely to be the fuel pump?

 

[C.J]

It could be yes, I read that it could be the waterpump, as it's 'prepping the system' before the car starts.

I've no idea. It's now booked in at BMW, 10th November

 

[C.J]

Bad news.

Finished work, went to unlock the car, and it's dead, no power to it. Managed to get in with the key, but there's no power.

So, whatever the noise was has now drained my battery during the day.

BMW are coming to my office at 8.30am to diagnose (they offered 90 mins, but I'd already arranged a lift home).

 

[_Tom]

As bad as it is, that's some service. You make me feel for every 335i ownwr every time I drive past one. (or them past me is more likely..)

Edit. Just heard the sound. What a charming noise. God knows what that is.

But all their videos have their cars running. Mine wasn't even on, which makes it odd.

True that.
