exactly

I have a 2009 and it did not have a metal vc gasket. Plastic cover with rubber. I know they do have a metal head gasket though.

Plenty of good information here. Thanks However I still do not understand why we cant re-use some aluminim bolts that are not severely demanded like the one keeping in place the alternator

Dude..What he said. :D

Tellum sam

some E9x came with GM 6L45 auto transmission. You really got to do some research to make sure what transmission your car came with

@@SamBao Is 6L45 good transmission?

@outdoor fun agree with you, they are just selling badges and decided to go with low quality components since the 90s..finally gave up on them, life is so much less stressful now..

These car always have problems they suck. Can find bmw and Mercedes always need to be fix in autoshop.

@madPaulX it's called a warranty, and NO ONE warranties these cars forever. Not the USA, not the Japanese, and not the Koreans. The dealership service bays are already crowded with high profit service work, and you want these people to wrench on your twenty year old beater FOR FREE?

no reason for the car not to have a dipstick or temperature gauge

@@houseofno it's not so much that but rather purposefully designed for a limited life span. This isn't a conspiracy but rather it makes business sense. Basically, their target market rotates cars frequently. So there is no added value to improve reliability. You can see evidence of this on Craigslist. Now that we have established that we are not paying for longevity, the only things left are prestige, driving experience, and quality. Quality can be longevity but also materials. If you sat in the BMW 2 series or the i3, it feels terrible. It still runs analog gauge clusters and you get absolutely nothing. The Hyundai Equus beats out the S Class in every amenities. American cars are also very well equipped. As for the driving experience, the Miata's are constantly on top and with recent rivals like the GT86. Top Gear raves about the LFA and Clarkson hates Japanese cars so that's saying something. There's also the GTR and the Corvette (although people buy Corvette's based on their brand also). The last thing left is prestige, which these marquees do well. Point is, with the amount of money to buy these, some people expect some sort of semblance of longevity past the warranty period. But they have marketed their brand so well that this is no longer the case. And we know that it is financially feasible to do so based on other marquees. I can't think of another luxury brand that makes products like this.

Brigham Allen better not otherwise i have a really expensive car

How expensive?

you and i both. Bought my first e90 last year and replaced the starter, alternator, and coolant hose flange recently. The coolant flange, which is a cheap plastic piece, should be replaced asap if you have never done it yet. the hot coolant deteriorates it overtime and I suggest replacing it with a aluminum one. It only costs $26 and it wont leave you stranded on the freeway with coolant all over the engine and windshield like it did to me.

@@lakaiandi220 they handle awful ngl

I have owned a 2006 330i for four years. I have spent about 2k on parts, me wrenching. Sitting at 184k miles, 55k miles in four years. Not bad at all. Most expensive work: Bilstein struts - about 300 USD Aftermarket transmission pan (plastic) + fluid (Liqui Moly) - about 200 USD

Go for toyota, honda, Hyundai!

Go for aygo

navarrouk34 Suzuki swift sport ! 😃

@@user-ie4kp7ni9d watch movie much better than spending your time with wrench

yep mine went out one year apart from each other first the right side and one year later the left side.

zemekiel issue I have with mine. BMW needs to do better in that department

TheAvira123 you can actually fix the problem by ironing your seat belt. I know it sounds funny but it should work.

The seat belt strangler!

Would u ever do one for e6O?

Im watching this 2 years later. You are still a legend. Cheers ☺☺☺☺☺

aerospeed100 lol dont

Do it bro!! I love mine, just treat it like your body man and don't push it when it's not supposed to be and give it what it needs like any other car, 07 335i is what I got and I'm having a blast. Keep in mind tho, want nice things, you gotta pay nice things price lol

Get an E46 instead. 😎

E46 is hot???? are u kidding me :D:D:D unless u live in uzbekistan :D

Eloy Vargas what’s the difference between a e90 and a regular 328i

The Most Accurate Lyrics an e90 is just the body style (sedan), e91 is a Wagon, e92 is a coupe, and an e93 is the convertible. An e90 can be a 328i or a 335i depending if it’s a twin turbo ofc. And there there is also a difference between a 328xi and a 328i, the city is all wheel drive and the i is rear wheel drive.

@@emmanyoul lol

The Most Accurate Lyrics E90 is just a designation for one generation of 3 series. The E90 was built from 2005 until 2011 and was followed by the F30 (2012-2019) and the current G20 (2019 and up). Each generation has it‘s own look and and will only be changed slightly in the middle of its lifecycle, called a facelift (BMW calls it LCI, Life Cycle Impulse). Yet they are all 3 series.

@@emmanyoul E90 is the model family of the 4-door 3-series produced from 2005-2012. A 328i is just the name/designation for a 3-series with a 2.8 liter engine.

Yeah, driving 3 years already with no issues . Only needed to replace spark plugs 😂

Bucky Barnes i did the carbon filter removal and i felt it had a better flow to the engine

The N52 motor wasn’t meant to be a performance engine, so no, there isn’t a way to make too much power. If you want to mid your BMW by a 335i, as the N54/55 was built for strength.

I’ve noticed that on my sister x3 & I’ve noticed that on my E90 328i XDrive
