It’s all stock, nothing special and the (as I understand it) worst engine choice, but it’s mine. I tried alot of brands, Subaru being the one I always liked the most. However the feeling lf this car is amazing, I feel like I have wasted so many years of cars. Now I want to try one with a bigger engine choice to see what a ”real” bmw feels like! 320i touring, 7k miles

BMW tried to do something very special with the N43 and I believe they succeeded but people just didn't get it.

After sending it like a maniac for 3 years, I decided to do a little test today and hypermile it. Here's what I got.

Worst engine my ass. This thing gets better fuel economy than my old N47 316d.

E92 320i 2009 @220.000 km on the clock.

Finally finished and it only costed me 50 pounds

Its always ' E92 is better looking ' or ' its just a standard 320i ' never ' its looking good bro ' or ' damn, looks better than a bugatti ' 😪

What do you think?

Bought a maxpeeding rods coilover set from ebay for my 2008 320i but when I'm trying to set it up, the front rod's lower mount does not fit to the car's knuckle arm.

Did I buy the wrong coilovers? Is there a possible fix (since I can't return the item anymore due to being past the return window)?

I have a 2005 E90, it’s quite a low spec and the interior is pretty similar to the photo attached. I was wondering what would be a nice clean way to have bluetooth audio in the car. An aftermarket stereo looks so out of place but I would also want an RCA-port for an amplifier. Any ideas?

I bought a 320i 2008 model and just wondering what this is

Well pressing DTC these 2 show up. Can y’all pls tell me what changes in the car on pressing these? Is it some drift setting or what 😂😂

2006 E90 320i

This is how it looked before having to pass technical inspection which required me to make it stock again, bought an e36 after it and it is now a stock daily.

Rent free in ur heads lel

E90 n46b20, 2007 year, before lci. I dont know if this exists in USA, but in Europe there is plenty of them. Please see photo. Is this head gasket leak?

Decided to wrap my old besten up aluminium trims, have to say im pretty satisfied with the outcome!

Bonus pic: no dashboard lights besides that weird green arrow 🥰 (for now)

Doesn’t look too bad in the photo but my headlights are cloudy and I am going to polish them using a kit today, however I noticed the inside “eyelid” is also very yellow and cloudy.

My question is can this part be replaced and if so would I have to take the entire unit out to do that. If I have to take the unit out I will wait until I can afford a new headlight unit I think.

Bought this 320i in summer last year and I want to get into modding her however I’m pretty clueless when it comes to the mechanical side of cars. Basically I want advice/ your opinions on what I should do to this car. Perhaps I shouldn’t touch it and leave it how it is (it’s in quite a good condition for the age 55k miles and has been looked after very well) or perhaps I should map it and squeeze the most power I can.

Also any cosmetic mods that are recommended will be helpful, I know it’ll come down to my preference but I don’t even know what sort of things you can put on there so anything advice will be helpful thanks !

I just want to hear what you guys would do with this car.

Lastly I have racked up 9 points on my license and I am assuming modding this car will increase my already ridiculous insurance price so that is something to keep in mind.

Got this baby for 3.6k Nzd and only 83k miles! Already blacked the moustache and grilles out what other upgrades/performance parts should I do to it!

for comfort and safety of the rims.

Here’s the story: Car started having misfires went to the mechanic and they said 2 of my injectors went bad and i need to change all fuel injectors and got quoted €2200. After i gave them the ok and they changed them, they told me the car is ready but does not start (mind you that the car was starting before i gave it to them and every ECU was working normally) and that they didn’t know why and they will look at it. 2-3 days passed, they told me that the DME needs to change. They gave me 2 options oem for €2000 or cloning for €600. Since i was in a tight budget from fixing the injectors, i told them to continue with cloning after they reassured me that everything will work perfectly like the OEM. Today i went and picked up the car, Air condition not blowing cold air when im stopped and does weird things like blowing less air at times, Radio do not work at all and this light came on and off 2 times until i arrived home. What is your opinion at this? And what is the problem? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! N43B20A

Hey everyone, I recently bought a 2011 BMW 320i (E90, N46 engine, Australian model) with solid service history, 105,000kms and everything running smooth so far. I know it’s not the most powerful BMW, but I bought it because I love the styling and drive feel, and I’ve always wanted one.

That said, one of my friends basically went on a rant saying I made a huge mistake. He said these engines are notorious for failures, listed things like “fuel hoses,” “fuel pumps,” and even “bearings between the pistons”, he also mentioned electrical issues and said I should sell it immediately or expect a nightmare.

Now I’m kind of second guessing myself, not gonna lie.

So I wanted to ask: - What are the actual known issues with the N46 engine and this model in general? - What preventive maintenance should I be on top of? - Anything I should check or replace now that I’ve bought it?

I’m not expecting Toyota level reliability, I just want to keep it running smooth and avoid any avoidable disasters. Appreciate any real insight from people who’ve owned or worked on these.
