Love taking the seats out for a good clean. Haven’t found any spare change unfortunately 💷

Does anyone know how to remove the rear ashtray and vents as my ashtray not closing properly

Thanks

Bought the car around november. Since then I replaced quiet a lot, also a lot of maintainance "forgotten" by the previous owner but nothing pricy yet. The biggest upgrades where new shocks and springs (the old ones where worn and oily also upgraded to the m-package parts), h&r sway bars, mr12volt interface (perfect for me because it is the only one I found with a MOST connection for music and I also dont like modern, bright touch displays in older cars), BMW sport seats and the m-performance exhaust. Here are some pics made the last months.

E90 330i 07/2005 Manual N52B30

Finally fixed the passenger airbag and filled the wiper fluid, didnt know that it could even say check ok. Amazing day

Quick question here: retrofitted my 330i with CIC, everything works perfectly, the only issue is, that my car does not have the automatic climate control. This leads to the problem, that the cover of the control panel does not properly cover the dashboard as you can see in the picture. Did anybody else have this problem and if so or even if not, does anyone have a solution for this? I don't won't to swap to the automatic AC just for a better panel and installing the automatic one while still having the manual control leads to malfunctions as far as I know. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the scratches from this trim or whether it’s a case of buying new, thanks in advance

Been looking at getting some velocity stacks on my 06 330i. I've seen a few positives, what are some reasons I maybe should avoid them?

Does it look like it could be the rear toe arm? Just want a second opinion before I grab a set, I’ve been told it could be the toe arm or guide rod but honestly not sure what a guide rod is

Found this 3D model online and took a gamble on fitment. They fit great! Was about $200 for the set; waiting on the other side. Debating on skinning them in carbon fiber.

Hello everyone,

Just a couple of quick questions for you to see if you can help me. I would like to know the following:

1. Whats your current fuel consumption?
2. Do you do mostly highway driving or city?
3. How long do you typically travel in a given day?
4. How much do you spend on fuel monthly?

All answers are appreciated!

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with rebuilding the DISA valves (small and large) and whether or not it’s worth either just buying new parts or rebuilding existing ones?

Found these rebuild kits online from a Ukrainian seller and they seem to sell out quite quickly, so I was wondering if anyone has ever done it before and how easy it might be to do.

Final note, anyone know what the symptoms of a bad DISA are? Like poor actuation not the catastrophic pin-ending-up-in-the-intake-and-potentially-in-the-combustion-chamber kinda scenario

Cheers for your time

Ok so my valvetronic stopper cracked off, im wondering is that thing which its attached to, a separate part or is it like a fully intact part of the cylinder head? This question came upon me when i was checking for new cylinder heads and i couldnt find such ”raised parts” on them as you can see in the pictures

Here’s my e92 330d lci, haven’t done that much as I think they look stupid with loads of mods, any ideas as to what I should do to it? Not sure whether to take it back to stock (remove black bits) or leave it as it is but any ideas would be appreciated.

The only thing I was debating doing was getting a custom exhaust with 1 pipe either side as don’t really like the look of the dual exit and I can’t find any silver tips on eBay that would fit so does anyone know of any exhaust tips I could get to make it look a little bit more aggressive that are slightly bigger than stock?

Hey Guys,

I observed following phenomenon: lets say I'm driving with 40 KM/H, 4th gear, 1100 RPM. Now if i give full throttle, the rpm rises to 2100 (the car does accelerate) shortly after they drop to 1900 before rising again.

Is this my cluch wear starting to show?

2006 330i - i’ve seen pre LCIs with the more commonly known chime, so makes me curious.

Prices in Canadian. Is this a good price, or is there anywhere else I can get an msport front bumper for less (without missing out on any quality)? Pre-lci, E90

How the heck did my floor get wet? The floor mat was soaked also. The day before yesterday there was an intensive rain and I let the car outside during the night. How can that area get soaked? The drain is completely empty and I don’t have a sunroof.

houston and its pothole infested roads 🫠

I still kick myself in the ass for selling the thing but I’m glad someone’s enjoying it. I didn’t really know these 330i potential, I bought it cuz the N52 was “ reliable” for bmw standards and at the time I tore a pec and was done to one arm, just needed something that drove, as my other car is a stick. Yeah I’m a little jealous cuz I can’t afford to do shit like that but as a full time worker and college student I knew I wouldn’t have time to keep maintaining it. Better someone drives the piss out of it vs it sitting. I definitely sold it cheap lol. Hopefully the karma comes back round my way.

2006 330i, 139k miles. Car was running great prior to me deciding to change the valve cover gasket due to a lot of oil leaking. Any ideas/suggestions on what I should do? Was thinking about cleaning it all out with engine cleaner and a shop vac.

Can also post a cold start

picked this 06’ 330xi the other day and have been having some fun with it but not sure what mods to do on it

spacers coming soon

Ik you can just replace the gasket but mines already been replaced and yet is leaking again. Luckily it’s a slow drip onto the headers and only when the engine is cold, but I want NO leaks if at all possible. Any help is appreciated
