Hello everyone,

Just wanted to kind of introduce myself ( I hope that's alright?). I own an E90 LCI 328i in Black Sapphire Metallic with Beige interior. I bought it used last November with 143.9k ish miles on it. I've had it for just north of 6 months and now am sitting with 151.6k. It's in fairly good shape for the amount of miles, I would say. Some exterior blemishes from the previous owner's negligence, but all in all it has been a blast owning it thus far, and I look forward to many more miles with her. I mainly joined to expand my knowledge and ability to maintain it, as I am really just learning the ropes of the whole automotive thing ( I did change my oil by myself so that's a start, haha). I'll be entering my freshman year of undergrad this year so I thought it best to widen the breadth of my knowledge regarding my car as much as possible before I truly venture out on my own. Looking forward to learning a lot with you all!

Cheers,

E90CPhT

Welcome!

There’s a lot written about these cars. Likely you’ll never need a mechanic with some DIY ambitions.

I'm also a new member, just making my first post reply in order for my account to be fully opened.
Reason for joining, I've got a list of warnings just came up:
ENGINE FAULT! REDUCED POWER
DBC FAILURE
FTM SYSTEM ERROR

DSC FAILURE

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where I'd find a topic about this? I'm a bit hopeless with forums, Cheers!
