New Buyer (have read a lot on e90post)

MadeInPhilly · 04-01-2015, 07:39 AM

Read that the 535i is 100lbs heavier than the 335i. I just sold a Acura TL so I would like the larger cabin space so I am considering the 535i now. I would assume the same issues exist on the N54 535i.

- turbo wastegate issues
- high pressure fuel pump
- valve cover gasket
- oil filter housing gasket
- oil pan gasket
- injectors
- walnut blasting needed due to carbon buildup
- waterpump goes out around 70-80k

am i missing anything particular to the 535i?

Which is replaced concurrently with the Water Pump and a non-issue.
