M30’s are so easy to work on

This is my 07 335i with 200.000 th miles
Oil pan leak & rear turbo cooling lines fail

I did better than my brothers B20 powered 328 - !20,000 miles - seized solid!

Well today I found out you need to remove both turbos to get the oil & cooling lines attached. Both go in together with the oil supply line attached

Need more o rings

Are you running this twin turbo kit from Tomioka Racing?

TR Twin Turbo Ball Bearing for BMW N54 16T & 19T

Look no further for a BMW N54 turbo upgrade! Tomioka Racing offers three different sizes for your BMW N54 turbo upgrade needs, our turbos are completely new.

Those exhaust headers seem pretty unique..

Well I got my n54 back together , nothing too hard . There’s just an order to putting it back.
@rblongboarder no turbo upgrade.

Now working on the Coupe will be a breeze

I have a love and hate relationship with my newer BMW's..................valve cover warps with leaks onto the manifold on two cars, oil pan leaks on 3 of them. I think the plastic cover under the car is to catch the oil rather than protect the undercarriage. Meanwhile the E3,E9 and E24x2 with no issues.

Any reluctor ring issues yet? The warning light triad is well known in our household.

Hi @bavbob
No problems with eluctor ring

I did have the alt apart to replace the voltage regulator.
New Valve cover , came with a seal

I’ll keep my fingers crossed
