Yeah I've found that if I try to upload pics from my phone, will upload fine if I take them from my iPad though.

Unfortunately having a 335i can be expensive, most of us on here have had an issue or two

I went into ownership with my eyes open and expecting some problems, be it coils, injectors etc, but no gearbox's over heating.

DCTs work on a wet clutch system, if fluid is low you'd be getting added friction causing the overheat.
Hopefully just a fluid top up or change

How many miles has yours done?

[Smokey33]

Yeah i really hope its that.

Its on 54k.

First impressions are really chuffed with it. Weather has been awful so not pushed it much, but don't think straight line speed is an issue, car is running the following mods:

Evolve Catless Downpipes
VRSF 7" Intercooler
DMS Dual cone intakes
VRSF chargepipe
Performance exhaust
Remap

Few niggles with it, and the main one is the exterior trim pieces that surround the doors. The passenger side is quite bad, ive read its quite a common problem, just not sure how to go about sorting it. Checked at my local bimmer garage and they want over 400quid for 1 side, geesh just for the part. Im worried if I get it sanded down, primed and painted it will just bubble through again.

Also the door mirrors fold in when I lock the car and I don't like this feature. Cant see any option in the IDrive to stop it.

If you want your mirrors not to fold you need to press and realise the lock button right away, if you hold it like a 1 second your mirrors will fold.

Brand new track surface this year. Supposed to be faster than it used to be. You'll love it.

[Smokey33]

Yeah was going to go tomorrow but weather has killed that idea.

Often the case

I've driven there before which has been a 160 mile round trip. Paid, lined up and then had it cancelled before I even got my run. That after being lined up for a couple of hours and having put about £30 worth of ethanol in the fuel tank. So always check there's little chance of rain.

Bit of an update. Still have the car. Its only on 75k miles.

This year i fitted LCI rear lights and i had the wheels redone in bronze.

Fitted 17T turbos and big 7.5" intercooler, stage 2 fuel pump and 2inch outlets. Had it custom tuned by DocVu through MHD. Really happy with the power now. Roughly 565bhp at the flywheel and the torque is ace.

Ive got all 8 M3 TRW arms and ive just ordered Bilstien B12Pro kit and new subframe bushes and a few other suspension bits. Hopefully get it all on soon. Then it should be epic.
