I must concur that David's account is rather alarming but out of the 50 E90'ers registered here, David is the only thus far that might have a legitimate problem with high oil consumption. Again, it could be a number of other things, we're not sure. Here in the US, the naturally aspirated E90s are having a good track record for reliability. There were some accounts of valves ticking that warranted extensive repairs or replacements but the numbers were small.  Most of the internet traffic is centering around the N54's high operating temperature concerns and the expiring fuel pumps issue that has lead to BMW pushing back scheduled production and cancelling existing build allocations. There is a huge backlog for the pumps and owners have been without their 335is for up to 2 months.</blockquote>
