First project car 2007 335i e92 🙈
Bought my first project car for $2100. Not sure if this was a fantastic idea 😂😂 super excited to fix it up tho. Got the m sport rims on it too. Missing the head unit but there’s a 12’ sub in the trunk so I’m super excited to get that working as well.
There’s a coolant leak and it’s overheating a bit but I got it home safely so now I can fix it. Not exactly sure from where yet. It drips off the drivers side corner of the radiator but the radiator is new. Haven’t taken it apart yet to figure it out. My buddy said it could just be the water pump failing or a blockage somewhere in the system so I’m going to diagnose it and figure it out. Any insight on this would be massively appreciated.
Oil filter housing / oil cooler thermostat housing is leaking a bit, gonna put a new one on as well as the belt and hopefully she’s shaping up a bit better after that.
What upgrades should I start with after it’s in good working condition and leaking a bit less? I don’t want to do any engine upgrades quite yet I just want to do peace of mind upgrades until it’s in good shape and then start working on handling performance before engine performance while I learn how it drives. Again, any insight is greatly appreciated!!
