Alright, that's interesting. Not sure if the gent (TwistingMyMelon) above is a BMW employee or just hates seeing BMW being put down like that but it's popular knowledge these days that the intakes on these are low and it doesn't take much to kill a modern, beautifully designed performance diesel (or otherwise) car made by the BMW brand. Vorsprung durch brainwashing?

Struggling to read with understanding?

Oh I see a typical PHer.

That's how these threads usually end up on here. Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh, let the fanboys be fanboys.

How does it feel living in denial? I bet you're also going to claim that the st engine in your car doesn't suffer from uncontrolled soot build up caused by the sloppy design by the ultimate driving engineers?

Its raining, the kids can't play outside so they turn to the internet.....

No denial, it suffers the same problems as any other direct injection engine of the era. Its a great engine, but not perfect.

Calm down, you come across as irrational and too angry. Like I said, if you tone it down a little I might be able to take you seriously. It is nearly dinner time and then off to bed, you don't want to be too wound up as then you won't sleep and you'll be too grumpy tomorrow. Your mum and dad won't be happy with you then will they?

BMW F03 3 Series parts 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9



Not designed for fording rivers, but I expect to be fine for driving in the rain.

I seem to recall that BMW's trophy cabinet overflowed during the N54 production cycle:

I can't fault the engine in my 335i. One of the best cars I have ever owned.

Part 8 and 9, where does that sit... right behind front grille innit. As in here



As in something like this can fken it up (and it does).

Words fail me.

I have driven through LOTS of rain and hydrolocking has not been a problem for me. This is all just nonsense.

In awe of OP who can diagnose an issue inside an engine from other side of road whilst driving.

[Eddieslofart]

OP had a 135 that he threw a shed load of cash at but never learned to drive it...he’s still feeling bitter, probably because he still hasn’t paid the credit card bill off

Nope. Are you really that dense and/or hateful?

Yep. Over 1 metre above the ground!

Did a BMW fk you mum or something you bitter little twerp!

I am in awe of the level retarded stupidity.

[Mr Whippy]

It won’t be a metre, but it’s high enough so that if your headlights are above water so is the intake!

And the trumpet is at 90deg to direction of travel and offset from the slatted opening.

Seems ok to me.



Maybe the car owner had fitted a ‘performance’ intake trumpet that points forward into the airflow and got their water in that way?!

[Sam993]

I thought this thread will ruffle some feathers but I didn't realise how dense the BMW lot on here is. Starting from being unable to comprehend basic sentence structure through being unable to comprehend basic sentence structure ending on being unable to comprehend basic sentence structure. I showed this thread to my chair and it actually got the gist of it. I thought the IQ on here is going to be fairly low but I never thought it will be this fking bad. The other option is that my chair is smart, which is obviously not true.

[Elysium]

I think your chair probably has the edge over you here.
