glow plugs and Temp Sensor
I was told i need to replace sensor/module and might as well get the plugs replaced at the same time.
Anyone know how I: 1) decide which ones to buy? 2) where do you think I should buy them? 3) can I do it myself? The car is 2011, 335D, 104K miles. Thanks jonathan |

I thought you were replacing it with an M2...
Yes, you can certainly do it yourself if you have the tools and a pair of good hands. I like to get OEM parts from bmwdirectparts.com They seem to be very reasonably priced. Sometimes, ECS has good alternatives and thankfully, they have dropped the ridiculous $200+ free shipping and crazy per item shipping prices they used to add. If you are going to do the plugs. Make sure you do it on a hot engine though. You can also test them before replacement. |

Thanks
M2 chassis assignment is hopefully only a few weeks away. Still waiting - still deciding on color and either DCT or 6spd I have a car with PDK and several manual. Each have their own fun factor, but wonder if the DCT has to be driven "hard" to extract the fun factor Thoughts |

Isn't the PDK just a type of DCT? Each maker seems to have their own brand of dual-clutch. Porsche with the PDK, VW and their DSG, Lamborghini and the LDF. BMW just calls theirs DCT if I'm not mistaken.

I have a PDK in my 2010 Porsche - I have never driven the DCT BMW to compare so I welcome input.
That said I do have 4 other old P-Cars with stick (G50, 915, 915 and a 901) and they are my go-to's for rowing the gears. I like manual's, but I will share this car with my daughter as she has resisted learning stick. She comes home for spring break in a week and the goal is to force her to drive stick...but not all 18yr old girls like stick. |
