I'll definitely look into those adjustable links just hope they last long enough to make up for their price compared to a stock one. Mine seemed solid but the suspension was loaded with the car on ramps, they looked ripped and ball joints pushed all the way down.

Replaced the radiator today due to a slightly weeping crack on the upper neck on the oem one. Don't buy a Sunbelt radiator. This one was free so can't complain but one of the two mounting holes for the screws was offset by like an inch so I had to zip tie it tight in place.


This is the leak:

They're pricey but worth it in the end, just measure twice and make sure you're confident on what length you need. Measure with the car at full load on even ground (i.e. on a rack or ramps under each wheel)

That's a common problem with the N52 radiators. I've replaced mine this spring due to the exact same problem

Had a few goodies come in the mail today. Installed my bav audio subs. Nice change to the bass didn't get any photos of the install pretty straightforward. Also installed new front Zimmerman drilled rotors and pads to get rid of the pulsation that's was driving me nuts. Pads were about 80% but looks like it was pad slapped rotors were beat

what's the story on those lug bolts?

locking or just externally splined?

[335IE90]

There studs I have spacers. Tired of the bolts I've owned German cars all my driving life and tires of bolts so figured with this car I'd do a stud kit. I wanted black thinking they would hold up to being taken on and off but the paints coming off of them already. So they look a little weird

I still can't figure it out. A lift sure would be nice

If you figure this out, please share what the culprit was. I also have a creak/snap clunking sound from front left somewhere. Still not sure if it's a suspension component or the lower part of the steering column itself.

Car does it even when front wheels are off the ground, albeit much softer

I see.

I too struggle with black lug bolts.
I just spray them every year when I swap tires.
winter set/summer set.

studs would make that easier I suppose.

The kit I bought was from amazon. Pretty decent kit no shakes or wobbles and comes with 12mm and 17mm spacers for 145 here is a link. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J9NCQZP..._9IpeFbJAJBZAK

I'll throw it up on the jack stands tomorrow night and try and find it

Finalled installed my android head unit (Joying).

[Nipperjam]

Changed me interior from cloth to leather

[Yngvejos]

Washed it, took pictures and put it for sale.
I have been thinking of selling it for 2 years because I don't drive it enough. I think it's time to let it go.
It's gonna be hard to see her go.

What did you do with the heated seats buttons?

How much does the climate bezel stick out from the bottom?

Can you post same pic but with it on?

[Soden82]

Swapped out my old PCV vent hose to a new OEM one. Flashed down to V7 from V9 beta

Had a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 installed today. The ride is night and day from the Bridgestone Run flats. The Michelin are quieter, and you don’t feel every pebble on the road. Gives my E90 a more comfortable ride. So far I’m very satisfied. Also had a battery installed, and my passenger side auto dimming/heated mirror replaced. Next is a wash/wax. The weather has been crappy the last few weeks. Rains every other day.

Have to figure out what I’m going to carry in the trunk. A tire plug kit, and compressor. Or a tire mobility kit.

I just did the opposite! Manual E91s so rare in UK now I had to get one with light grey leather. Skin complaint means I need cloth seats, so swapped the LOT inc. door cards and headliner for black alcantara / cloth. Took me a few days. Looks epic, used the dark wood effect trim.

[Buug959]

Bought it. 2008 e90 335xi. Now I just have to wait for it to be shipped half way across the country.

[E92William]

I wasn't aware non M E9x came with cloth interior. Pretty wild. All the ones I've had have had leatherette or leather

[colorado.e9x]

I've seen a few EU E90/E91s on Facebook groups selling their cloth interiors after doing a leather interior swap. Was going to bid on one but remembered I can be somewhat clumsy when it comes to food and drinks.. Passengers are no exception

This is US specific. Everywhere else gets cloth base.
