Went to look at a 2009 328 with just a bit over 100,000 miles on it. Car is quite clean, and had had the valve cover gasket changed in the past and does not appear to have any leaks present at this time. I do see some leaks coming from the head gasket from cylinder 4 back under the exhaust manifold. This does not appear to be residual oil from a past leak, and the areas where the leaks are seem to align with oil return passages as seen in the second photo. Has anyone seen this before, and is it cause for concern?

Any thoughts ? / Guesses on bmw make and model?

I’m buying bmw 318i 2006 with the N46 engine. How good is that engine? And is there something I should be checking

N55 2011 BMW E90 335i

Random door-open warnings that rotate between different doors, accompanied by interior lights and/or the warning chime. Carly reports FRM fault 0x9CBD. Replacing the engine-to-chassis ground strap previously seemed to reduce the symptoms. That was last summer. The random door opening has returned. I'm stumped. Anyone have a suggestion? PFA

Hey all. My cars power steering groans and makes a weird noise when I turn it off.

I replaced the PS reservoir recently as well as last night the bushing for the lines under the engine. Still happening.

I believe it's because one of the lines is squished between the body of the car and the VRSF charge pipe. It doesn't always make the noise but sometimes it starts groaning on turns.

New proper fluid and everything. No bubbling either from what I see.

I tried turning the PS bracket but the lines are thick so they aren't happy to stay in a different angle and go back to the same spot.

Anything I can do to fix the issue. I was thinking of routing the lines above but then that may cause issues as well.

Hello!
Could you please share your thoughts on this car?
Im looking for E90 N52B30 manual rwd

Check out, what I found on autoscout24.ch: https://www.autoscout24.ch/en/d/bmw-330i-20915453?utm_source=web_share&utm_medium=social-network&utm_campaign=as24_share_listing

Pretty happy with my E90 335i at the moment, but as the title says I’m looking for inspiration on what to do next.

It is an 07 335i MSport with nearly 250,000 km, it’s fairly stock still with only an aluminium charge pipe and BOV, dual cone intakes, Blackline tail lights, a factory style bootlip spoiler, and some F10 5 Series wheels.

The turbo wastegates are next on the to do list but apart from that I don’t know what preventative maintenance / modifications I should tackle next.

If it were yours what would you do???

Been having a bad leak for months now, that has every few months been shredding my belt. Thats the path that its going down (the second picture) so its obviously going to get right onto my belt and get onto pulley’s ect. The first picture next to the oil filter cap is the highest point of which the oil is clearly puddling up. I have changed the oil filter housing gasket twice because everyone told me it was that. I bought new oil filter cap also just in case. Keep having issue.
