  1. Well thank for the warm welcome! I will get some pics up I gotta go back and find some before my wife "customized" my front bumper this winter.  But I will get some pics up soon I promise.  Patsbimmer1 I would definitely appreciate any advice you can give on the N54 platform.  I know the Xi isn't necessarily the best platform of the options but I like to drive the car all year round and I came from Subaru's before this so I thought I would take a leap into world of 335s.  Always loved BMW especially the M3s.  I have a very found affection for the V8 M3 even though that may seem odd coming from a new owner of a 335Xi with a twin turbo inline 6. The bottom line for me if it is fun, fast and has 4 wheels I am in.  Lol thanks again to veryine for the warm welcome!

     It specifically to my target I will be daily driving the car so I guess I am looking to get to the 4-450ish range but not take away from the drivability I get my enjoyment from driving my cars so I don't want to go over board where it spends more time in the garage vs on the street.  To the injectors point I have been fighting misfires since I bought this car just about (2 months ago) sometimes the car runs smooth as glass and other times in runs really rough and will pop a code.  I have done plugs, and 2 coil packs(I know I should have done all 6-I actually just ordered the remaining 4 from BV auto).  So from what I was reading trying to research and learn about engine and common problems it seemed like step one was plugs, the coils, then injectors specifically cylinder 1&2.  Again I have a lot to lean but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty.  I have done the clutch, water pump, and thermostat too which I learned just about every job has a special tool when it comes to BMW.  But I love the car overall.  Can't wait to get it running right and then see what she can do.  Not sure if me having the Xi makes reliable HP lower or anything as far as the trans goes.

    whatever this post is too long lol

  2. Hello everyone.  Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum.  Live in Milwaukee.  Just purchased my first BMW(08 335Xi sedansports pack).  Love the car so far although have had to do a good bit of maintenance right away.  I have done the clutch, plugs, coil packs, water pump & thermostat.  Still fighting some misfire issues that seem to come and go.  The injectors sound a bit loud so was planning on doing those next along with walnut blasting.  Was wondering if anyone could suggest where to get the blasting done.  Also was trying to figure out as I plan on doing some bolt ons & tune in the near future of stock injectors are sufficient of if you would recommend an upgrade to those as well.  Would love to know of any meets,etc. in the area or car clubs, etc, etc.  so look forward to hopefully joining the local community and appreciate any advice you all could provide.  Thanks in advance.
