QUOTE(Johan-N @ Nov 19 2011, 10:59 AM) the engine in the 335i in its initial stage had lots of problems with the high pressure fuel pump, many cars equipped with the 3litre turbo had to be recalled but i'm sure BMW has fixed all of em now la... hopefully have they not solved the HPFP issues with the N54 in the 335i? yeah 330i and 530i's are pretty rare, guess most malaysians don't like to pay 2.3k for their roadtax and no la not swapping it. my e60 mileage is all highway miles bmw z4 either with the 2.5engine or the 3litre. If I'm not mistaken, the LCI 335i are all using the N55 instead of the N54 ran with the LCI 335i during the last innovation days, almost no turbo lag whilst the pre LCI 335i the lag was quite noticeable which ride do you have? I've got a pre LCI e90 330i, thinkin of taking the F10 535i, but am concerned bout the EPS steering, apparently it's lost the feel of the wheel =( Added on November 27, 2011, 8:41 am QUOTE(Johan-N @ Nov 24 2011, 11:42 PM) anyway guys can recommend a good tire brand for my e60 530i? good call! i threw out my RFTs for mich PS3s and they ride a lot better!not gonna go for Runflat tires again cost they cost a bomb and apparently they have rubbish comfort my tire size is front 235/40zr18 rear 245/40r18 any brand recommendations and pricing?

I was at Auto Bavaria today .... they aren't selling the 523i and and 3.0L 528i anymore .... the replacements are the 2.0L 520i and the 2.0L 528i M Sport.320i = inline-4 turbo, 184hp/270Nm, 0-100 in 7.4 seconds 328i = inline-4 turbo at higher tune 245hp/350Nm, 0-100 in ~6 seconds 335i = inline-6 turbo 300hp/400Nm 0-100 in ~5 seconds There will probably no longer be a 323i or 330i. The higher end will be turbo V8 and the lower end below the 320i like the 316i and 318i will be turbo inline-3 (Kancil's cousin? The F10 5-series will probably follow very quickly, abandoning the non-turbo inline-6 for turbo inline-4 engines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N20 Latest F10 5-Series model range: 520i - 2.0L inline-4 turbo, 184hp/270Nm, 0-100 in 8.0 seconds, RM 358,800 (OTR without insurance) 528i M Sport - 2.0L inline-4 turbo tuned higher to 245hp/350Nm, 0-100 in ~6.3 seconds, RM 409,800 (OTR without insurance) 535i - 3.0L inline-6 turbo 306hp/400Nm 0-100 in ~6.1 seconds, RM 598,800 (OTR without insurance) This post has been edited by BMW fanatic: Jan 14 2012, 11:37 PM |

Changed my 5iver's tires not to long ago to Dunlop sport LM703 tires filled with Nitrogen
235/40r18 front 245/45r18 rear car has done almost 900km ( to and fro pg-kl ) and even tried a little "fast" driving on windy mountain roads and i come to report that they are really worth it. The grip is excellent and the grip in the rain is good Ditched the original Run flat tires for this lm703 and i have no regrets shop quoted me rm1.8k for ONE RFT tire, changed all my tires with lm703 for only rm2.7k This post has been edited by Johan-N: Jan 23 2012, 10:14 PM |
