@iAMtravisLegend @FabioJr1380 @BMWUSA@500k Nope, engine and transmission are original and have never been torn down ! Never uses oil, plus original turbochargers!
@JPUConn@BMWUSA@500k Typical repairs including brakes, a couple sets of Sachs struts, tune ups, one alternator, one a/c compressor, two electronic water pumps, three high pressure fuel pumps, a set of direct injectors and all trans mechatronics. And oh hereโs the whole picture!
@BMWUSA@500k Mainly a daily driver / commuter. Round trip commute is 160 miles per day, five days a week and it will rest every weekend! Longest road-trip Temecula California to Seattle where my son lives across from the Space Needle, approximately 2450 miles round trip.
@JPUConn@BMWUSA@500k Hereโs the complete photo, Oil and filter changes every 5K miles with Mobil 1 Synthetic. An N54 with original turbos, engine is original, no tear down, other than a walnut blasting of the intake ports, obviously has had a couple of water pumps, fuel pump, set of direct injectors.
@readDanwrite I was wondering why you were MIA on the show this morning, everybody is great on the show but you bring something different to the daily discussions. Enjoy your Vacay ๐ง
Just saw a new Tesla S owner pass me on the 71 freeway with his hands off the wheel and both hands on his smartphone wondering if heโs going to climb into the passenger seat and take a nap next:)
@ClarkHoward I will attest to that, buying my dream car in 2008 a BMW 535i, I have given pure love and maintenance. It now has over 400,000 miles on it!
