QUOTE(blindmutedeaf @ Jul 20 2022, 11:04 PM) to drive a bmw.... you need to drive like you are stealing it... keeping it at home... it will cause more problems True. My E90 N46 year 2008. Good condition when i abuse it for few years. Bcos of covid season it just stay under garage. And now many prob but not the major one. Most of the rubber & plastic got memory characteristic too. The car should always move. 250K km millage. Engine & gearbox tiptop condition. |

QUOTE(Yapmy @ Jul 28 2022, 02:04 PM) I used to own an E90 325i LCI and I can attest that the engine is quite reliable. The only issue I faced was random oil leaks from worn gaskets i.e. oil cooler, oil pan, valvetronic and etc. Power is decent but the high revving sound is the best part of engine. The engine does consume some engine oil depending on your driving style and quality of oil used where interval top ups (maximum 1 litre) may be required. Its normal for bmw consume engine oil if less than 1 liter per interval 10k km. The engine design. With leaking seals it will be an extra. If the leaking always happen then check the catalytic. Clogged catalytic will result more pressure in engine thus easily leak. My catalytic clog and the fc become 8-9km/liter now. Later need to decat.Do also take note the petrol consumption is quite high where I used to average around 12.6km / 100L for urban driving. Yapmy liked this post
