My E92 335i

[ShaunB]

Hi guys.

New to the forum.
Mostly drove cars from the VAG stable, had one worked 325i E30 many years ago.

I bought Gideon's 335i last week, awesome drive, fuel consumption sucks, or it is just my right foot :crazylaugh:

Most of you know the car already, ill keep this page updated with some new mods.

Last night gave the interior a good cleaning incl leather treatment.

Also peeled off that horrible soft touch crap from the steering wheel, it will get carbon skinned soon.

Nice one Botha... Welcome to BMWFanatics. You will enjoy it here...

Looking forward to updates, I know you well enough to know this will be a stunning well maintained vehicle soon. More than it already it is...

One does not look at the fuel gauge in a 335i.. The needle drops while you look at it..

Congrats Shaun, if you put half the amount of effort into this E92 that you did into your previous cars.., it will still be a stunner.

The VAG's I drove were not exactly slow...but the bmw is a different driving experience all together.

Thank you sir.

The car is booked for Downpipes on the 20th at TMSS.
After that new wheels and some lowering.

On Thursday the car started misfiring, luckily it was not injector as I feared.

I collected new sparkplugs from Gideon (Previous Owner) and his diagnostics cable (thanks a million bud). Purchased the correct socket (14mm 12point narrow wall) from the toolshop.

Purchased a new Coilpack from Goldwagen for just in case, luckily it was coilpack on cylinder no 2.

Was lot easier than I thought, 30mins and all the plugs was changed and everything back together.

The plugs on cyl 1 & 2 were in a sad state, good thing I changed them.

Fault codes were cleared and she is pulling like a demon as before.
