The diesels still have oil dipsticks. I’m still peeved they got rid of transmission dipsticks back in 89 though. They stopped including mechanical LSD with cold weather package about 1992, when they started using ASC. FYI: My f31 has none of the rattles you describe, despite me having pulled it apart 2-3 times. It’s your particular handles that are the issue. Agree on the dust, my 340 caliper conversion with stock msport pads are the same. Thinking Hawk 5.0 for next set. you can get rid of the squeak by re- cleaning the pads and rotors with crc red brakleen (not green) and relubing pins. When you decide to pull the calipers to paint them, make sure you buy enough cans. And alternate coats from different cans, the mix is never identical between different batches of the same color, even with name brand paint. Simple and effective, VHT caliper paint in silver covers well and looks nice. Especially cleared. Or you can then go crazy with any other color as it is an excellent base coat. Mine are VHT candy purple over silver base. They look dark violet when not in the sun, but almost plum crazy purple when light falls on them directly. Best of both worlds. Both Subtle and attention grabbing. Powdered coating costs 3xtra time, money, requires caliper rebuild kit, and from what I’ve been told, will brown due to heat if you track the car. $50 in paint and a weekend and you can have some stellar looking calipers that are easy to keep clean.
Thanks for the comment! Interesting about the dip stick on diesels and the LSD. Did not know that! It is odd that my previous E90 335 did the same thing with the door handles. The trim on that car was stock aluminum. I have heard of other people complain about the same issue on the forums. Glad to know that you don't have that problem though! I actually just bought Hawk 5.0 pads, so that will be another install in the future :) So hopefully that will help with the dust. Good idea with the brakleen. I will give that a shot. For caliper painting, I plan to go with G2 Caliper Paint vs. rattle can. I have read good reviews on G2 and its applied with a small paint brush and dries evenly. A buddy of mine used it on his M3 and it turned out really nice.
@@accelerated_motion I went with spray after seeing pictures of some of the G2 painted calipers on f30.bimmerpost as well as others locally. They just weren’t up to my standards... seem to dry with a textured finish unless you really goop it on. Then it looks gooped on. Plus I’ve been told because of it, they are hard to keep clean. Mine jut rinse right off whilst cleaning the wheels like any other painted surface. (Plus I gave them a nice hydrophobic coating before I put them on) Othe than my can of base silver, I used two cans of color and nearly two cans of clear. The 340 brembos need a lot less paint than the Bosch single piston rears do, surprisingly enough. If you are doing g2 you may want to buy two kits to be sure you have enough. And don’t forget to bake them for a while at 250-300 in the oven, with spousal approval of course. Before you invest that much in g2, try one can VHT caliper paint and one can VHT clear and a $5 can trigger. For $35 they will come out much better and smoother than g2 will. And you can g2 over it, but can’t paint over g2. Make sense?
Hi. I'm an e92 325i owner. My car too doesn't have spare tire. You can however use normal tires. But then there's a concern of getting stranded when a tire goes flat. You can purchase this special goo that you can add in your tires. When you get a flat, that goo will fill your puncture until you can get to a tire shop. That goo is like tire sealant on a mountain bike tubeless tire
@@accelerated_motion yeah, im using some random china brand but really its just to give me peace of mind. ive never really needed it because bmw have good sensors that will alert the driver when one of the pressure is low
This is what I do. I had normal tires. Living in Vegas it's pretty small enough. So, if I got a flat in town, easy to call a friend or family for a ride OR in a pinch call an Uber to go home and get my spare. If I leave the valley, throw a small jack and a spare in the trunk that is an old run flat on it. Fix a flat is bullshit. Never worked for me
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 hello bryan, nice name. fix a flat in particular aint that good but other brands work okay, you can watch this. i do have a small 3 ton bottle jack and foldable jack stand in the trunk but not for changing tires, its for diy ua-cam.com/video/H5DWhIF1c0M/v-deo.html
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 Yeah in the past, whenever I had a flat or something, I was usually close enough to home that I could just get back to the house, get a spare wheel/tire, and go put it on the car and drive back home. I have always had multiple sets of wheels/tires so I dont think I've actually ever used fix-a-flat haha. But I have it just in case!
Adam, my only question is, is the electric steering as bad as some say? I'm considering an F30 loaded with 6-spd, M-Sport, etc, but am also considering basically the same spec'd car in an E90 sedan. How would compare the chassis dynamics/steering since you have owned both generations? Thank you! -Dave
Hi Dave! The electric steering takes some getting used to. Initially, I did not care for it, but Ive had several newer BMWs since and now I am used to it. Overall, I preferred the F30 335 over my E90 335. The F30 has much newer tech and styling. Plus, my E90 335 was an N54 which was a nightmare. N55 is better.
I agree with most of these, but then again most are more BMW-specific and less F30-specific. Did you buy your car used? That could be why theres so much interior creaking. I got my F30 new and have zero creaking in almost 3 years of ownership.
Yep, some are not specific to the F30 itself. But yes, mine was used, but regardless, for a car that expensive, it shouldnt be doing weird creaking noises (in my opinion).
Hi!!! I have a question for you Sr Has this car a good fuel consumption? What is the your? I have listen that in mode Eco Pro is great... i hope your answer!!!
Don't know how people like that boy racer exhaust. Hate them pops and burble on down shift. Funny thing is most guys that run this their cars are slow. And it's not good having explosions going off in your turbo instead of your cylinder.
@@accelerated_motion thanks mate 😂heading to the dealership tomorrow to trade in my '10 S4 and pickup a '14 335i MSport! 3rd Euro car, 1st BMW. So hyped! Always loved the way they've looked and sounded.

Its BMW M Performance carbon fiber trim... which is OEM. I had OEM aluminum trim on my old E90 335i and I never took it off the car, and I had the same exact noises. Seems to be hit or miss on whether people have this problem.
Its crazy how everybodys cars are different! Some guys have told me that theyve never heard the sounds I have heard, and then I read constant threads on F30post about similar rattles or even worse ones!
i have a rattle inside the armrest console, i hear it thru the rear air vents and its getting me crazy, i don't know if there is a way to access there!
If you have kids, its possible one of them put something into the vents. Its very common for objects to end up in the vents under the driver seat, and those rattle pretty badly - basically, just floor it and try to bring the object out is how I fixed it on mine. I dont know about the vents inside the console, though. I know there is a rattle in that general area that is actually on the underside of the vehicle. Something gets lose. You might want to look into that. I dont remember if its a heatshield or what, but its a very simple fix.
@@aSASa45454 thanks for the answer I will check it out, I read something about the ebreak cable too but I don't think is that, i will upload a video where you can hear it, this is more like a squeak, maybe someone can identify the same noise. Thank you!
Just bought one as a Christmas gift for myself f30 335i manual, so far loving it!

Why don’t you get some carbon side skirts and carbon m style side mirrors? It would finish the look of the car off IMO
Side skirts will definitely be next! I already have MPerformance carbon mirrors, so those will stay. I prefer them over the fake M style ones anyway.
Just over 2 years of ownership & i swore the backs seats didn’t go down. I knew there had to be a way 🤦♂️. Coral red interior for the win
Hahaha hey, I just found a little storage cubby on the drivers side left of the steering column below the light switch panel. Never knew it was there!

Fuel consumption is decent - 22-24mpg for me.
How is the reliability been? I currently own a E92 but I’m thinking about getting the F30
The F30 is a PERFECT daily driver car. Extremely reliable car. But my car also had low miles.
@@accelerated_motion im thinking of getting an F30 with 70k miles. You think im safe?
@@mike-xu9qv yep! As long as preventative maintenance has been done, you should be fine
Exact car, color, wheels i want. Just waiting to find one in the market
Seems to be harder to find these days given this crazy market. Also hard to find one that is fully loaded and Msport like mine
The 437 wheels are probably the best OEM wheel BMW ever made. I just wish they are made lighter because at 23lbs that's still heavy
I agree! The 437s are my fav wheel for the F30. Looks sooo clean!
where did you buy your 437s?
I bought mine on ebay actually. They were freshly powdercoated and looked brand new when I got them.
