Probably the epitome of BMW driver related vehicles. Blew my motor"11" e90 now in progress of rebuilding. Was going to get something new but have to definitely rebuild after this video. Great video bro keep it up.
I have an N54 E92 and Im absolutely addicted to it around 400whp until I replace some injectors. The N55 LCI E90 M Sport or sport looks so good nice and tight compact sedan and sounds great as well with that dual scroll single turbo. Great video
@@steadybreeze1443 Yeah, but I've got a E82 128i tho. I've done M3 front control arms, dinan camber plates, koni orange + eibach springs (should've went with some KW V1 or something like that honestly) 335ix rear swaybar (biggest OEM sway bar possible other than the M3 which is too aggressive for a "daily" without an LSD), F30 4 pot brembo brakes with HPS+ pads. I might forget a thing or two 🤔
I'm a bit lower down, got the 323i which is basically an untuned 325i. It has the N52 engine, another brilliant motor from BMW, straight 6 naturally aspirated. What I love most about the e90 is the interior and the sporty intimidating 'squat' look especially in the later LCI versions. Timeless.
183k miles 2006 330i Daily driver manual trans fully loaded sport packg. I LOVE THIS CAR. I have a 96 328i that I bought to mod but I like the e90 so much I want one a n54 one as well to play with not daily. People really don't realize how good these cars really are. If you can turn a wrench you'll be fine. Millions of youtube videos for maintenance.
My 06 330i got totaled at 170k miles a month after I had replaced dam near everything in the engine bay, the car ran amazing. I bought a 57k mile 335xi but man I really miss the 330i sometimes lol
@@AnthonyGonzalez-zy5zm sorry to hear that man. I sold the E36 yesterday. And I honestly don't know if I should sell the 330i and find a N54 LCI sedan. Or stay in my lane be happy driving this with no anxiety lol. Then get a c5/c6 for the weekend car 🤷
@@Vgk36 haha it happens. I paid 7k for the 330i at 80k miles and it got totaled at 170k miles and my insurance paid me out 9.3k witch ended up going towards my 335xi so it worked out fine lol. And tbh you just have to find a stock one with low owners and all maintenance records and you won’t have to worry about anything breaking as long as you stay up on maintenance. Selling the 330i would kind of hurt the heart but the tun-ability of the 335i will soon make you forget haha. And corvettes are dope man, that would be nice
I've had the pleasure of owing two different 335i's (e90, e92). Neither one gave had major issues aside from some leaks being remedied by my independent mechanic. The power of the N54 was mind blowing due to it being my first entry. The n55 was great but not brutal. As far as this review it really personifies my current view of the 335i. The host is low key, not getting too flashy but thorough with the analysis without getting too complicated. Well done.
Had a look at one of these when I was younger lovely shape! I recently bought a F30 335i as daily, I love it so much! Just got back from a 10 day road trip in Cornwall was never bored in it. I would say, i nearly like it as much as my E60 M5 I had haha!
E60 m5 has an exceptional motor, but the transmission is not so perfect… and 335i with this n55 and the zf1 8 speed is so balanced. Everything is in harmony and thats why i feel your statement:) enjoy it brother 🥰👍
Lovely video, many thanks. My first and current car is an e90 318i from 2008 so my unicorn dream spec is a 335i touring manual in that lovely blue with tan leather. Never seen one like this and I deffo don't have the money but videos like this are vicarious living at it's best! Keep up the good work
I own one of these E90 335i and love it. Fun to drive with lots of power for when or if you need it. My big concern is I've got 20700 km. on it and will need to do some maintenance to get back the original drive feel (suspenion and other support items).
N55 with a big turbo, fbo, meth, hpfp, decent coils and a good tune is all you need. that will easily push 500hp without touching the inside of that motor. thats what i have and its an absolute blast to drive
Good video man, underrated channel, about to buy an 325d [330d detuned] e90 lci with the N57 on saphire black with sunroof and a lot of options (but will have to buy M sport bumpers), later will be doing xhp exhaust, coilovers...
Good review! The previous owner of my e46 sold it after he bought a manual e90 335i (twin turbos)... I still maintain that the e46 looks best, but that is probably partly just to make myself feel better as the e90s grow on me, haha.
The N52 was short lived in the E9x cars being quickly replaced by the N53 which can be a royal pain in the arse. Biggest downside to the N52 in the E9x cars is that most are auto and the engine suits the manual better. The E9x cars are aging well in my eyes (I’ve just sold my E92 335i for a Z4 coupe).
most likely the BMW PPK, which was options when purchasing the, comes with the PPK (power performance kit) tune which adds 20hp and more torque, a more agressive burble noise, aswell as a faster 0-75 time, if it has the PPK 2 which comes with the tune and the Performance exhaust which sounds amazing.
Yeah as far as I'm currently aware it is the stock exhaust, but it does seem loud compared to others I have heard on UA-cam. Can't see any PPK stickers in the engine bay and the exhaust itself appeared to be the standard one but will need to do some more digging to see if I can find anything!
Again maybe it was in Europe somewhere or Germany itself that they released the 335I in 2006. But in North America it wasn't released until 2007 although they did sell the E90, 325I, 330I in 2006 here in North America. I'm confused LOL.
Yeah geographic area can have an impact on this, back then I think Europe generally got models earlier than the US but I think that's not usually the case now. We had 335i's with the N54 as early as 2006
WHAT?? In what country did they release the E9X series in 2004?? Are you sure about that information because it might have been being developed during that time but from what I've understood it wasn't released anywhere until 2006. I even have a 2006 M3 which is an E46 of course. I know they've had over lapping years of release for some models in the past so perhaps it's true. But I didn't think there was a two year gap for any of them. I had a 1991 E36 325i from Japan back in the day which threw a wrench into a lot of peoples computers looking up parts and such for it. LOL.
If I recall the specifics correctly, I think the E90 was launched in December 2004 and went on sale in early 2005, presumably in Europe before North America. This will have just been the sedan model to begin with so there would have been overlap with the E46 generation, which I've seen happen with previous generations, E30 > E36 as you say. But yeah it would have had crossover with the E46 M3 which was made into 2006!
Yeah pros and cons to each, F30 has the ZF 8 speed and also later versions of the N55 which are more reliable, but most people say the E90 is the better car to drive. Depends what suits you best!
Had one of these 335i n54 on a 2007 in ferrari red. 3 year old 18k miles auto. What a car. Got rid of it for a 2006 bmw e60 m5. Regretted selling the 335i
Yeah the 335i, similar to the M models, has the oil temp gauge on the dash. It's a very useful one to be fair, but would be good if you could also more easily see the coolant temp as that is not displayed
I picked up a cheap audi A4 3.2 V6 a couple years ago, I refurbed the wheels to dark grey. However with the car being deep sea blue, the wheels looked way too dark, ran them for a year then changed them back to silver. Much, much nicer on a dark coloured car.
Im yet to find an owner that hasn't sold it because of reliability issues . Don't get me wrong this is an amazing car to drive and admire. But you'd spend the cars worth in maintenance rather quickly .
I think there are good ones out there but unfortunately you just never know, alot of these cars do seem to have been run on tight budgets at previous points in time which sadly can mean issues present themselves a few years down the line when we purchase them
the thing is 335s are affordable. so the young, broke and dumb fellas buy and destroy them. the market is full of them all neglected. maintence record is key mine is 2011 needed nothing but a water pump eventually in all my years of owning her
The car that refuses to age I really love E90s
So true!
Bought my third one a few months ago. Came back to them cause they’re timeless and well rounded. I love them.

Front M3 control arms and a good set of coilovers is really a good improvement over stocks/worn stocks.
Have you done the the modifications

I concur. Guy Richie and Clive Owen would be proud.
Sounds naughty that lad such a symphony 🤤🤤🤤
Agreed!
whats the exhaust setup?
As far as I know, completely stock, but some other viewers have suggested it may have the MPPK tune to enhance the burbles!
Does this car have eco, sport mode etc?
No I don't think any of the E9X generation cars came with driving modes, with the exception of the sport mode for the gearbox
