Hello
Just bought my 2nd E92 as a daily. 16 years old, but I love it already. Will be working through some “snagging”. Started with Oil and all filters, gearbox oil, new Timing chain, headlamp washer motors, fan / heater blower motor and 4 new contis, plenty to come I reckon |

Hello,
I'm based up in Cumbria UK and have succumbed to an e92 coupe. I hadn't planned on purchasing another car as I'd recently sold my manual e46 330i sport touring for not getting used. However, I was lured in by a 325i in space grey! There are going to be a few things to sort I'm sure, so looking forward to enjoying the forum ![]() |

Hello I am a newbie too .. and may now sound like a stupid newbie .. I have a BMW 3 series and I'm not 100% but does 325i sound right for the model number ?
Basically it's 2008 only got 44,000 on clock . However took it to local tyre place and he started going on that this model is known for problems at 50k miles .. then offered to take it off my hands 😉😀. Only question I'm wondering is do anyone know of anything about the oil he mentioned there are known for oil function problem and to keep eye on how much it uses !!. |

I’ve used these on both my e91 and f31 both with 340mm brembo retrofits… and no issues of rusting hats nor squeal /thrumming. A lot cheaper especially with free shipping via Amazon prime. Power Stop EBR1402XPR Front Evolution Drilled and Slotted Rotor Pair As far as pads, the f31 has /had? Msport pads, which were so dusty that I had to clean the wheels every 50 miles, or two days. They ate the rotors in 35k or so. Plus side, They were also so grippy it was like trapping the 3rd wire on a carrier. I got shoulder bruised once when I went to hit the clutch coming up to a stoplight , only US f31s are all auto so I stabbed the brake by accident, lol. The e91 I went a different direction and it has akebono EUR 1880. Ceramic pads, not as much grip or initial bite, but also no squeal and the dust is light colored & wipes off ergo I can go hundreds of miles between actual wheel washes. Since I don’t track and the Akebonos will take away some of the touchiness and excessive dusting and rotor wear of the msport pads, I’m switching to them with powerstop rotors on the f31 this time too.

Hello all, newbie here
I've had my 2007 318i E90 for a couple of years now without any major issues. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I am willing to learn. I've also created a post with my ongoing issue which can be found here if anyone would like to advise. Thank youhttps://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...2#post31864712 |

Hi all just thought i would introduce myself to the forum as i have just purchased a E90 320d after years of driving mundane family Vauxhall's the difference between to two brands is like night and day. I have an intermediate knowledge of mehanics having worked on and maintained my cars throughout the years so no doubt i will be doing my own maintenance on this car , although it will be the first diesel i have owned so looking forward to getting to know the car and like minded people on here as i seek advice etc regards Gary

finally found one, was looking for a very long time and finally settled on a coupe even though not too practical with kids/teenagers, its not too bad.
Wanted a 330i m sport only, ideally lci but found this low mileage, good optioned, well looked after pre lci/facelift. and rarely this has the N53 engine in the pre facelift, i wanted the N52 but settled for the package.... Picked it up yesterday, will be doing very subtle oem modes, but tasteful as this one will be a keeper, currently have a MK5 golf GTI so debating whether to keep or sell... - Last edited by esskay; 03-16-2026 at 04:22 AM.. |
