That 3.0l stwin turbo is a fussy pain in the ass. I have had 3 cars with that damn engine. The 11 335 coupe spent more time at the dealer with woes then it did in my driveway. My 535 wagon was bought back from the dealer.... plagued with engine electrical issues. All the BMW engineers that crawled all over those two cars and when they were "fixed" they would act up again. Now my 135 is jacked....the idle fluctuates, turbo is lagging and it switches over to limp mode as it pleases. Its been at the dealer for the past 3 weeks. I love the power of that engine and they have a sweet growl but what a huge pile of garbage.

Ive had such poor luck that I just decided to go back to the non turbo I-6 and havent looked back. Im waiting to find an e46 m3 and im gonna roll the 135 off a cliff. The I-6 is easier to work on and less prone to issues. I have towed a 24 foot maxum with the X5 and not had much issue....it get the job done well.
