Where did you order those off of?I think the e90 is aging really well.
Maybe I'm just saying that because I just ordered a water pump, hoses, thermostat, and bottle for mine for $700 and I'm justifying keeping mine for a few more years.
I do think these cars are keepers, though.

Ohhh, what hoses did you order?I did order from FCP, actually. Also ordered the associated hoses (at my mileage they seem to break when I look at them) and a BMW coolant bottle, which was the original problem. (My level stick disappeared after the polar vortex. Maybe a 50/50 coolant mixture wasn't enough at -20F?) My price includes the bottle, shipping, and MN tax.
Had to replace my coolant bottle last weekend AGAIN.I think the e90 is aging really well.

I forgot I have the car listed in my bio or whatever it’s calledBased upon the exterior styling and how well cared for it is, it could easily be mistaken for a close to new car. But for me, the interior is pretty dated. I'd guess it looks like about 2003 - 2006 era interior. At least, that's what I would have guessed until someone pointed out that it's a 2009.
Did you use an OE/OEM part? I always buy my maintenance items off fcp. That way, if the part breaks or wears out, I don’t have to pay for the part again.Had to replace my coolant bottle last weekend AGAIN.
I prefer that about my interior. Anything with a giant screen to me = outdated next year, but I also work in the tech field. My E90 doesn't have IDrive, I think if it did have the version available in 2009 it would feel much older.Based upon the exterior styling and how well cared for it is, it could easily be mistaken for a close to new car.

Behr/Hella (Now Mahle), and Dorman puts their sticker over Mahle,third time now. I recently read BMW will not allow aftermarket parts to be produced in the same factory as the BMW branded parts. That makes sense to me as the quality isn’t the same. If I did it again I would have just got the BMW dealer part.Did you use an OE/OEM part? I always buy my maintenance items off fcp.

It's not the lack of technology that makes the interior look dated, but rather the styling. The satin metallic trim across the dash and on the doors. The style of the steering wheel and airbag, and the console look pretty typical of early 2000 era.I prefer that about my interior.
