do you ever feel like your 335 is a high maintenance girl?

I would say the 328 is less the high maintenance girl that the 335 is! It seems as though i'm always having to do something to my 335 to keep it running great. yesterday I had to remove the intake manifold off mine and manually clean my intake valves at 40k miles. The valves were so nasty it took me around 11 hours from start to finished. Some times i think the 328 would be a better daily driver than the 335.

well. in essence the 328 would be. less parts. turbo parts lol. but. is it worth it to drive the 335i? ummm. yes. hpfp can break all it once (mine hasn't but the car is still new to me.. has the latest one just installed), it is what it is. every car has it's 'things' you just deal with.

Yes in the same way that I'm sure Natalie Portman is more high maintenance than Rebecca Black... but at the end of the day, which one is more talented, and which one would you rather be able to bring home?

Worst car I've ever had from a reliability point, but by far the most fun

In all fairness, I admit that some problems were related to mods, and getting said mods to work as they should

Still...HPFP, turbo wastegates rattled, power steering pump failed...

If this car is high maintenance, I suggest you never plan on "dating" a Ferrari

I didn't spend one cent for my car aside from the tuning stuff and the normal maintenance like engine oil, detailing stuff, etc. I don't feel it's high maintenance at all, even though I've gone broke buying stuff for this car

She slept with the guy on her last movie set and got pregnant.
