Well the 2011 e92 is a N55 unless it's a 335is? might be a contributing factor to the reliability
That would be correct.

That would be correct.
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)- 2011 335xi Coupe Black Sapphire Metallic (e92/N55/ZPP/ZCW)

Hmmm... well that doesnt make any sense. I guess today is the day I completely lost touch with the youths. Fuck. Almost made it to 31 and lost relevancy at the last minute.

Just saw this on Instagram. That came out of fucking nowhere.

Honestly I’m not surprised, I don’t think I’ve seen them advertised anywhere online. Their product selection wasn’t as good as competitors and prices weren’t either. The website was behind for so long too as far as a modern online shopping experience which is mainly why I stopped shopping with them years ago. I destroyed 2 csb’s in the 528e before realizing the bearing wasn’t even off-set lol.

Noooooo I still have a $25 gift card to there that I keep forgetting to use.
Well despite all of that, it still looks like the website works and you cant still buy stuff. Better hurry up and use that giftcard!

BavAuto was the first mail catalog that i remember pouring through, drooling at all the 90s ACS/Hargte/Hamann goodies. Sad to see, but +1 on their prices never being competitive.

I somewhat disagree. I've purchased things from Bav after price shopping. This wasn't super frequent, but it did happen. Also I remember getting their catalogs because they were really the only distro in town that had a cool print publication.

I liked bavauto strictly for the catalog. Still sad to see them close the doors after that many years. I wouldn't be surprised if they come back under private equity in name only.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy a brand like that.

815AM this morning on I41 S near Racine Ave. A fella in a silver N55 powered 335M Sport slowed down and downshifted next to my lowly e90. Can't remember the last time someone picked a race with me. It's been many years. Always the same result. haha Even better is that I was dropping the car off to have the oil pan gasket replaced, upgraded twins and inlets installed. It'll actually be fast next time someone picks on it.

So you're saying you lost the race.
