Got the hood up and saw that the belt was shredded due to the water pump pulling sheering off. Turns out it warped all the other pulleys, punctured the radiator and of course the water pump needed replacing. $2000 later i realized i was never going to own an M3 out of warranty again. But yet i did with the E92 M3 and got lucky with that one.

How much are you going to have to dump on the WP?

I love the car, but I think the only way I'd own another one is under warranty. I kinda wish I had a NA car too, it's plenty quick enough even when it goes into limp mode.

Like Verbiage said, cheapest option was ~$350, but is sold out everywhere. Next best is ~$400, with thermostat @ $50.

I also want to do injectors this summer, since I have one that is really noisy and I don't want to have it leak (if it isn't already) and trash my bottom end by thinning the oil. Cheapest option is also sold out, so that's a minimum 3x $140 to replace bank 1, plus coding, etc.

Still on original HPFP and coils, could definitely use blasting the intake ports... it never ends.

What year is the car? Do you have a first gen N54?

Sounds like first gen N54. Those things can have problems with engine related stuff.

Verbiage · 03-04-2016, 07:35 AM

Yeah, my water pump went out, 3 HPFP's, walnut blast, wastegate rattle comp, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, lord I don't know what else. 2007 N54, late 2006 build.

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the M2.

Yeah, it's an April '07 N54.

Gone through:

PS Pump and Pulley
HVAC Blower
Water Pump and T-Stat

in the time period between 09/2015 and 12/2015, and it's sat in the driveway since then.

I'm about to give up on BMW's and go look for an E46 M3.

You're right, I should have said I'm getting a real BMW instead.

Are you going to do all the work yourself?
