hey guys just really getting annoyed with my car when driving it cold or even first line in dash water temp...

i just drive ok soon as i hit 3000/4000rpm just sounds like it splatters/hesitates, exhaust sound is like brrrrr brrr when between that rev range but when its fully warm no problem at all runs good...just dont get it..

any ideas guys cause have to always wait till it warms up fully and is a pain..

Well i just changed the turbo to slightly bigger and it is doing it all of a sudden never done it with the stock one... just when im about to hit boost which is the revs i described....

Under oiled turbo? u mean like no oil coming through or just takes a while to get oil in until its fuilly warm....seems like that.

your probably hitting R+R because its still cold and you have a bigger turbo

doubt its anything to do with turbo bearings being under oiled

not much you can do about it if you still have the std ECU, its a tuning thing

if it was the bearings it be stuffed and smoking and all plus i have a braided line which came with the turbo which was new and i have a greddy computer on it so im sure its a tuning thing as it wasnt really tuned only tuned for detonation as in power tune...its still ok but just takes awhile to warm up but i guess i can live with that for now :)

my r32 has the same issue exactly for over 6 months now. Stock ECU, stock r33 turbo. I had a TR43 turbo before but changed to a r33 turbo now - I've changed fuel pump, coil packs, spark plugs and O2 sensor, still there. Funny thing is, the issue goes away EXACTLY when the temp gauge hits half way mark - on the DOT!

any other ideas? :(

i maybe thought it was going into coldstart mode so thought it was the water temp sensor but guess not...like u said when its half way or at its normal engine temp its all good.....Maybe FPR or AFM...

Has to be ecu just going a lil koo koo until it hits its normal operating temp.Tune must be the last option i guess.

    • 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.
