• Check out the e90 subreddit for some entertaining ‘this is how much it’s cost me in a year of ownership’ posts. I’m not sure how much of it is yanks buying ropey cars and paying the price down the line vs genuinely indicative maintenance expenditure though. It has helpfully supressed any latent desire for a 335 in me 💸💸💸

  • I'm a 335i owner. 70k miles and turbos already replace when i bought it.
    Had to rewire the thermostat heating element as someone had crimped the wire (took like 4 hours) and 4 new goodyear f1's have set me back ~£500

    It's a cracking car though. Mine came with jb4, Dual Cone Intakes and Catless downpipes. Dyno sheet for 400hp. I don't think you could go much faster for less. Getting the intakes Walnut Blasted by Turners (twickenham) next week and hopefully an Oil Catch Can for xmas.

  • But how much would it have cost you by now if the turbos hadn't been done! Sounds excellent fun though. I'd started by looking at the e92s this time last year, but now have the estate and am looking at kid seats. The 330 is proving enough fun for me anyway, and I'll have to start driving it responsibly in about 8 weeks. Who knows what entertainment'll be around when I'm back looking at 2-doors out the other side.

  • Estate or saloon? That sounds fun.
