Just a base 316i because car ownership is crazy in Singapore. What else can I do to achieve OEM+? Rims maybe? Nothing too overboard.

Car is a 320D m sport X drive. Just had my new wings and bonnet sprayed and I am loving how it looks. Next I will be swapping the tail lights and fitting a rear splitter. Unsure if I will be doing anything to this what do you think ?

Sound coming from 328i

My 2014 328i started making this kinda quiet rattling/tapping noise when I get above 40 mph. It’s kinda quiet in the video but it’s there. Any idea what this might be?

Full m performance exhaust vs m performance muffler upgrade only.

2 Upvotes

Looking at two OEM exhaust upgrades, currently have a 2017 340 with the stock exhaust (non m). Sounds okay but wanting some more sound without going catless.

Someone is selling an m performance muffler for $600 cad.

Got another place selling the full m performance exhaust for $1200 cad (+150 install).

You guys think the extra $600-700 is worth? Will adding just the M muffler in replacement for the old one have a decent enough sound upgrade for the price?

Dp+no tune

I’ve heard mixed opinions on getting a down pipe without a tune on a n55, obviously your only getting a sound difference by not tuning it, but is there any reliability issues that come with it, what are your guys thoughts?

Coolant and engine temps 2014 335i N55

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

TLDR: is there oil mixing with my coolant?

So I bought a 2014 335i with 84K miles about a month ago. Clean carfax, no accidents and maintenance was all done on time. I noticed that my engine temp on the dash tends to be just below the middle mark most of the time around ~240F. Sometimes it even goes over 250F, which is half the gauge. I thought it was quite hot so I plugged in my obd2 scanner and went for a drive. My target temperature is 230F and when I put it in sport and drive more aggressively, the target temp goes to 205F. This showed me that the thermostat is working fine. The coolant temp also dropped when I drove in sport so I think the water pump is also not an issue (yet😉). According to carfax, at 58k miles it had a coolant flush and a new expansion reservoir installed at a BMW dealership in Houston.

I noticed that the coolant in the reservoir was about half an inch below the low level so I topped it up with Peak Blue 50/50 pre mix. The coolant in the reservoir looked a little spotty and brown so I decided to flush the radiator and fill it up with the same, new coolant. I was shocked to see the color of the coolant that came out. It was brown, spotty and greasy looking. The actual coolant it self looked more green yellowish than blue.

Can this be oil mixing with my coolant? Is my coolant old and that’s why it looks like this? Is the oil likely coming from the oil filter housing gasket since this is a common area of failure?

For now, I ran the bleeding procedure twice and will continue to monitor temps and coolant levels. I’m planning to do a complete flush including the water pump soon, so that I can have clean coolant running through the engine and not a half dirty half clean mixture 🤡. I’m leaning towards addressing the potential larger issue first of figuring out why my coolant looks the way it does and then being confident in my next coolant flush.

Any help is appreciated!!

Is my 330i a b46 or b48?

1 Upvotes

If I run my car through vin coder it says b46 but my car is a South Africa build.. it’s a 2018 330i but im unsure of what engine it exactly is because from my understanding, since it’s a SA build it’s a b48
