I used to spray a can of that anti bacterial febreeze into the intake once a year (intake is in the passenger side footwell). Just get in, close the car up, turn to recirculate and spray some of the febreeze into the footwell. It will suck it up. It's just a bandaid though.

There is a very good article in the new Modified Exotic & lux mag, about a dinan 335i M3 EATER. its a pretty good read. They compair a new stock m3 to a Dinan 335i with an S2 tune. It also has a bunch of other dinan crap that you wouldnt need like Dinan rims and brakes.

I'm getting tired of that hill holding feature. I'm basically on a flat street and it takes a good second or two for the brakes to release (after I lift of the brake pedal) and the next thing you know, the car jerks forward.
Is there a way to disable the feature or adjust the part that makes the car think it's on a hill???

or even better, take the tops off and roll the windows down.

Old article, but seems to have good tips anyway (skip to the bottom with all the asterisks)

Do you have an automatic? Theres a slight delay i noticed when driving an auto 335i, off the line theres hesitation and then it goes/jerks forward. I guess its normal though according to the forums.
#853
I think he must be a manual - an auto will just move forward on a hill regardless. Unless I am reading it wrong?
The acceleration delay on the AT is silly. Just put it in DS to avoid that.

It doesnt happen on my car on flat surfaces, might want to take it to the dealer or ask e90post to see if there are others having the same issue.

Yeah, mine's an auto and it's embarrassing to jerk forward as if I'm a newbie with a manual.
It doesn't happen ALL the time but enough where I have to remember not to hit the gas too quickly after letting off the brake.
I'll definitely talk to the dealer when I bring it in for service. Weird, I'm at 11K miles and it still says I have 6000 miles to go before service.

Oh, and I thought it was a 16 gallon tank. I know mine is 60 liters.

Wow, I'm surprised at you guys' mileage. I thought the 3 was supposed to have better fuel economy than the G but I routinely get 22-23 mpg in my car and always over 400 miles per tank (though I do have a 20 gallon tank). I guess you guys can't resist feeling the BOOOOOOST!!!

Im not going to fight it. It was my fault for speeding and ill get supervision anyways since i havent had a ticket over a year. $75 ticket.
It was 50 in a 30. I have a V1 but that road has one of those machines on the side of the road that tells you your speed. So my V1 picks that up everyday and now i just got use to it. Problem is that now I ignore my V1 right by that machine....
I went past the machine doing 35 in a 30 and needed to get ahead of the guy next to me so i can merge onto the expressway. So i got on the pedal and switched lanes and thats where i saw the cop sitting at the gas station with his radar out. D'oh!
Damn torque, why must it be so easy for me to go from 35 to 50 in a blink.

Well not to sound like an ass but you have a 335i which does kind of say pull me over to a cop. If you were in a focus he might have let you go easier.
