    I don't even know what goes in these toolkits. I have 2 e92s and never saw a single OEM tool.

    It's worth that in parts... JMHO
    The addition of the fancy cigarette lighter USB charger makes it worth at least $1002.50

    They both have N55 Engines, and rolled off the assembly line within 3 months of each other. The black one I had tuned with a Vishnu Proceed V3 for about two years. I haven't modded much, just upgraded charge pipe and had the transmission ecu flashed with the Alpina B3 program. The transmission in my blue one is stock, and the difference is obvious.
    As far as maintenance for the black one (other than oil changes), here's the short version:
    e92/N55/ZPP/ZCW
    Bought 08/09/2013@53,340mi Current 2/2019 @200,100mi (5yrs, 6months and 146,800miles)
    Fail(s):
    tstat hous/water pump 89k,
    Walnut blast at 101k,
    Transmission/T-case Fluid change and Alpina B3 flash at 103k,
    Chargepipe at 106k,
    Coolant tank crack at 114k, and related to the coolant fix, had to replace the FRM3 at  114k
    VANOS recall performed by dealership $0 at Approx 160k,
    OFHG replaced at 195k (minor leakage, simple fix)

    I've had very few problems with my two 2011 Model Year e92 335xi's. My black one just turned 200,000 miles. Runs like the day I bought it with 53k miles on it. As long as they are driven regularly and you follow normal maintenance, and DIY, they are no more expensive than any other car.

    You got that right. I was explaining why I DIY all my oil changes to some of my domestic-owner friends, who were complaining about what a PITA it is to change the oil on their cars. All I said was "my filter is on top of the engine, and it takes me about ten minutes..." They didn't want to talk to me much after that.

    No, you're thinking of golf.
    Baseball is the one with touchdowns and field goals.

    For $3600, you can't go wrong! Sometimes if it annoys the wife, that's just an added "feature". My wife hates my 335's because "they're too fast!!"  LOL. Maybe that's what drove me to own two of them! Haha.

    I wish I had that kind of equipment and capability. I've thought of replacing my N55 with a "new" one with a few less miles (it has 193,700 today). But I'd need an engine crane and a lot more know-how! But I'd definitely try to fit a bigger engine in rather than the same.

    Not sure, looked like this one in Barbados Yellow. With the 4WS, it was quite the car for its day!
