#1 of 5 BMW335i maintenance problems? by pdude1 Jan 04, 2008 (12:47 am)
Anyone have major problems with their 2007 or 2008 335i? I heard about the overheating/oil cooler issue that was resolved.   Any other issues from the owners?

Replying to: pdude1 (Jan 04, 2008 12:47 am) Any other issues from the owners?   Some owners are reporting that the N54 motor's combination of direct injection and turbocharging drastically shortens the lifespan of the oil- in some cases the oil is shot at 3000 miles. This problem -along with the lack of an oil dipstick and a limited slip- has caused me to cross the 335i and 135i off my future Bimmer purchase list.

Did anyone ever get a reasonable explanation of the benefit of this decision? Is it the bean counters again??   Regards, OW

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 06, 2008 7:36 pm) I never thought about checking that, but there's no oil dipstick? Right now the BMW 335i is on the top of my list, but that would be bad because the so-called BMW free maintenance wouldn't cover that since I believe it's around 9K or 15K (forget at the moment). I'll need to look into that limited slip. Replies to this message: roadburner (Jan 07, 2008 7:23 pm)

That said, you can pick up a Turner Motorsport LSD for just $3699. $5799 if your diff has a welded-in R&P. Plus installation.
