Should I sell my Z?

Yea I hear you. I helped my buddy put on downpipes, intercooler, intakes, BOV, and Cobb stage three tune. His car really came to life. He's going to do meth next also. The downpies are a big PITA though. He has a 2009. I think that was the last year for the inline 6.

Lets start some trouble. You better do your research on these guys running just a tune with all that power because it come with a price. Those single and twin turbo BMW's are very unreliable when modded.

I've never seen a thread about a 335i with a blown motor? All cars have issues, but aside from the HPFP (which is warrantied to I think 100k) what othe issues does that car have?

Who said anything about blown motors? Just to rattle off a few issues I have read about and heard from owners themselves are, Blown Turbos or turbos failing prematurely,injector issues, and then as you mentioned the Fuel pump issues.

I know of several guys with 100K miles with no issues. But I have heard plenty of issues as you have stated.

I can say when changing out my buddies intercooler there was a lot of oil in the stock intercooler and catch can. So you know what that means. He has 33K miles on it.

Pssh... BMW's aren't reliable when they're stock.

<- Puts down the haterade.

Yeah, anyway, that seems like a fair offer to me.
