all atmospheric one will cause you to have stalling issues,

But if you wish to get a atmospheric venting one i would recomend the turbosmart Dual-port one. this is because you cau set the BOV to vent to atmosphere, be plumbed back, or it can do both at the same time.

stock is good, same as gtr bov

if you want aftermarket I could suggest a GFB Stealth-FX atmo/plumb-back (100% adjustable) bov, nice sound, no stalling issues on plumb back mode

full atmo isnt a good idea IMHO, at the least some sort of adjustable one to get the 'mixture" of atmo/plumb back correct

+1 For stock bov, or GTR one.

I have a GFB Stealth FX and atmo sounds great. Plumb back is also good, nice and fluttery. If you put it half way you can have a quieter atmo sound.

I had it on atmo for a while and never had an issue with stalling, it did feel weaker though like the intake feel was different.

Just keep the stock on, or get a GTR one, and replace the stock airbox with a pod.

An atmo is just going to give you the shits after a while anyway.

I cant see the point in spending money on a aftermarket BOV?? its a bit of money to drop for just a sound...

Spend the money on a frontmount intercooler!

ok, ive heard that some say if you adjust the BOV correctly that it will eliminate the stalling issue, is that true or is the dual port the only way? Quote

no matter what you do to adjust the BOV you will still have to stalling problem. i would recomend a dualport one, because if you do get sick of the sound that it makes you can very simply pull the trumpet off the BOV and cover the port with the backing plate.

Keep the stock BOV and replace your air box with an Air Pod.

A pod will give you the 'Choo' noise and only when the turbo is Spooling.

If you get an aftermarket BOV it will "AARRCCHOOO" even when you are not boosting = Wank Factor

Or save the cash and go for a front mount intercooler. You will be benefiting the car a lot better.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
