BMW 335i N54-N55 ?
Discussion
Thanks again Rdawson
so after 7 years of being on the dark side of diesel I have come back to the fold
I had forgotten how responsive petrol is and just how much more feel the BMW has over the Audi A5 3lt TDi this car is a joy to drive can not wait to pick her up ,of course the Audi threw a wobbly when it realised it was being part exed the MOT had run out and it decided its steering rack was going to go south , so got to get that sorted before I pick the BMW up
Thanks everyone for your help
Here she is , Lemans blue 36,000 mils

Well It is a lovely colour last owner had monster problems with cracking wheels I do like them I think they set the car off and compliment the colour

Pretty much Smuler that's funny , shoes did come in for a lot of consideration as did a light sweat shirt comfortable but not restrictive , music I figured let the BMW do the sound track after the actuator bypass thanks for the tip lads I had no idea about that and figured I would have to sell my soul for an akrapovic zorst
Anyway forecast is 20c and clear sky what could possibly go wrong

One thing to consider, if it has Run flats, when the time comes and/or when you can afford, consider replacing. They do make the ride harsh and can risk damaging the rims. I didn't find that mine were as bad as the 'press' they get; but I am looking forward to putting the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on which I have ordered.
You know what that is a very good point and I am surprised after all the questions I have asked that has not dawned on me to take a look at to worried about pumps and turbos I guess And yes I know how bad run flats are after my 320 and 525 but after a pretty lengthy test drive I would be pretty certain that shes on normal type tyres as she was a pleasure to drive

Worth a check, hopefully you will have all 4 the same and a reasonable brand, don't want ditchfinders on a 335i even in the dry weather.
At your low mileage are you considering a BMW warranty? That should put your mind to rest over pumps and turbos.
Having non RFT does not affect BMW warranty and I have it in writing from Mondial (who provide the assistance) that they okay the change.
I would certainly look at a BMW warranty how much are they ? , it comes with a 1 year AA warranty , not sure how much that is worth At your low mileage are you considering a BMW warranty? That should put your mind to rest over pumps and turbos.

Im pretty sure the way she drove its on normal tyres a really nice feel to the ride/handling
The tyres are good all round cant really believe I did not check if they were RF's and I guess my next batch of stupid questions will concern which replacement tyres are best stand by

Thanks again Smuler , but its not accepting the private plate for some reason , I will plug in the ultimate plate when I get the docs later , only 3 long hours to go Its exactly 1 week since I did the deal and it feels like months
Smuler said:
Can't you just leave the Audi with the dealer and get the part to them when it arrives? Or cancel the Audi part order and pay the dealer the price of the part?
No the Audi is at the mechanic I use for this sort of work and has her steering stripped and is up on a ramp waiting for the part to arrive trust me I have tried all angles on thisespecially as now its
Still tomorrow looks "ok" but nothing in comparison , or do you thing "someone" is trying to tell me something
