Got the car back Saturday morning! I didn't owe a dime which was extra awesome (surprise and delight!). Final diagnosis was loose bolts on the exhaust vanos actuator, thankfully nothing sheared so they didn't have to pull the oil pan. Intake actuator didn't have any issues so updated bolts were installed instead of replacing the unit. Work performed:
- New exhaust vanos actuator
- 4 intake vanos actuator bolts
- Valve cover gasket (Mine was leaking, so this is a nice bonus)

It's almost a shame that they didn't have to pull the pan. Could have had that done as "preventative maintenance" lol. You know it'll eventually leak.
Luckily for me this car had the oil pan gasket done in Feb 2018 as it had already started leaking lol. If it hadn't been done so recently I definitely would've had my fingers crossed for a broken bolt or two!

I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not that sorry... getting excited for an early start to ski season!

I like your positive outlook. Should we make a WIBIMMERS Ski trip?

I'd be very down(hill) for that!

I had the same problem on my e90, and it ended up being an oring on the passenger headlight washer nozzle.

In the spring this car will need new pads and rotors so I am going to upgrade to 335i brakes. Why am I doing this on a daily driver that doesn't need it? The rotors somehow cost the same and the pad selection is much better, front calipers are aluminum so they're basically the same weight and don't rust, the calipers were cheap, I think the 328 brakes look tiny behind my summer wheels, and most importantly I can't leave anything alone.
I found a guy parting out a few newer BMW's down near the IL border and snagged the calipers/carriers and front dust shields off a wrecked 335i vert he had. It wasn't too fun pulling them off in the snow, but getting everything I needed in one trip for fairly cheap made it worth it. The plan is to rebuild/paint the calipers over the winter, and then install everything once I don't need to run the snow tires anymore (as 16's will no longer fit).

Because stock 335i brakes are great and unless someone is behind you, there is no such thing is being able to stop too fast

New summer tires are on! Old summers were toast and I finally got rid of the runflats on the front. Went with Falken Azenis FK453 in 235/35zr19 front (up from 225) and 255/30zr19 in the rear. Its amazing how dirty this car can be and still look clean in pictures.
