sooo..what else can possibly go wrong?

ceenik · 03-29-2011, 05:46 PM

Ok, when I first bought my 335i I did a little research on what problems they were prone to having...

* The issue that kept coming up was the HPFP....no biggie! I got that replaced after the recall was sent out at 60,000 Miles

* Now my Water Pump went bad...I did intensive research and come to find out a lot of people have their water pumps fail around 60,000 miles (I am at 62k)

* My Oil Filter Housing is leaking oil! I need to replace the gasket..did some research and apparently this happens to a lot of people

* My DMTL pump has gone bad and is causing my Check Engine Light to come on..

So far things to look out for :

1)HPFP 2) Water Pump 3) Oil Filter Housing 4) DMTL pump

My question is....

what OTHER problems should I be anticipating as I start putting more miles on my car...Turbos? Wastegates? Fuel Injectors? anything like that, what should I be concerned about...!?Would you guys recommend I do a cleaning of the fuel system or any other pro-active services to my vehicle so I don't run into trouble down the road?

& Lastly...

How much were you charged to replace the gasket on your oil filter housing? I know there is a DIY on it but I do not have access to a garage =(

My problems thus far (currently at 43k miles):

1. 3rd set of fuel injectors
2. replaced water pump (around 40k miles)
3. replaced power steering pulley, belt and subframe from belt/pulley contacting subframe, apparently there is a SIB on this (@43k miles)
4. replaced battery (around 35k miles)

e90_guy · 03-29-2011, 06:05 PM

Injectors. Failed twice in 25k. Don't think this can be done in your own garage and can be quite costly if you need to replace all 6 of them.

ceenik · 03-29-2011, 06:07 PM

geeeeeeeez why did the injectors go bad at only 43k & 25k? I know they are EXPENSIVE ......

would a fuel system cleaning help with the longevity?

ceenik · 03-29-2011, 06:16 PM

i see that there is a recall for fuel injectors

campaign : 0013970100

marinellie · 03-30-2011, 07:49 AM

Ok my car is a 2008 E90 with 44000 now. Here is my list.

1. Lower control arms upper arms to I think.
2. Strut mounts
3. Water pump
4. HPFP x's 2
5. LPFP
6. 6 injectors and plugs
7. Oil pan gasket
8. Rear Diff

This was all in the last 12 months. Started with about 35000 miles. I think BMW had my car more then I did.

Graystone · 03-30-2011, 07:58 AM

2007 euro delivery (does this make a difference) 34000miles
Not a single problem!

dzenno · 03-30-2011, 08:29 AM

DMTL and one leaking injector in 3 years, fully modified with upgraded turbos

ianthegreat · 03-30-2011, 08:37 AM

HPFP at around 46k miles, injectors replaced under recall at 50k. Other than that, nothing.

secretsquirrel · 03-30-2011, 08:47 AM

HPFP at 55k. LPFP switch (no biggie).

ceenik · 03-30-2011, 09:12 AM

I havent read much about LPFP failing....is it expensive to replace? I am out of warranty

Kerosene Hat · 03-30-2011, 03:58 PM

Well, for starters your wastegates can go to shit. Then, your turbos would need to be replaced. Also, pins 18/19 in the driver's side a-pillar window control actuator could corrode and cause your windows, sunroof and trunk to randomly roll down at the worst times.

But other than what's been mentioned, I honestly can't think of anything!

anonemouse · 03-30-2011, 04:58 PM

So far I've went through

- 3 HPFPs (on #4 now)
- 1 LPFP
- 2 door actuators (same one broke at different times)
- 1 Radio/CD player
- Injectors

and before I got my RB Turbos installed, my original wastegates we're making a load of noise and needed replaced. I have 50K miles on a 2007 E90.

I've got an '07 e90 w/ 30K miles. Only problem has been with the VANOS solenoids causing dreaded limp mode at the track this spring. It's not an uncommon problem.
