![Building a BMW 335i in 12 minutes! [COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/13RFVixF9Ww/mqdefault.jpg)
11:50 The same happened with my 335i in stock. Fried two chips in DME block. Mechanic shops estimated $5000-7000 to fix it. I ordered these chips online and found local electric guys to solder it. Fit in $100 🤙
Hey man do you remember the chips part numbers? Or where I can find them?
@@victor1234547 good luck in a chip shortage.
That’s how it’s done 💪🏻
Nice! Huge and satisfying win
@@victor1234547 Upgrade to ms81, replacing chips only works for so long
Finally, a road test and verdict at the end. You listened to your audience. Big thumbs up.
I saw that 🔥🔥
I take some change in bmw 335i can you send me the address of your workshop
I'm starting to get a false sense of confidence when it comes to getting and working on a BMW...you dudes make it look too easy😏
😂😂😂😂
When working on a BMW you think everything is easy and you can do everything in 30 minutes,
but you realise that 30 minutes is just getting to the part you need to replace
Soooo true
It's a misconception that BMWs are tough to work on. They're relatively easy, parts are just more expensive than some other cars.
@@iamhamzaamin easy in what capacity? do they require special tools, an upper tier scan tool to talk to it? are actual factory service manual books available?
Looks good. I completely agree with the whole 18” tire and wheel combo.
I need that for my channels 335i 🔥🔥🔥
i concur, love that meaty look
@@Persocondes Ahahah, someone has watched Leo´s catch me if you can a little too much😂
i'm using 22's on my 128i... it looks 100000000x better than anything smaller and it's 100% worth my back surgery bill
I'm always amused when they wash a car inside
It breaks my brain
Maybe because it’s -30° outside? They’re not in California.
I am waiting for the out takes video where Pete is sliding around on the soapy floor. Not OSHA approved for sure. But yeah damn cold up there so I get it.
Dam I know!!
And wash the engine with preasure...
Even if it doesn't settle and lowers more, I think the combination of tide height, tire and wheel size, and the look on those Enkeis, is perfect!!!
at first I was like nah but then when I saw it on the dyno. I came around to it especially with the 18s
Im hooked watching 2 day builds.
you guys just gave me the blueprint to upgrade my 335i love this video this is exactly what I needed!!
Every BMW enthusiast justifying their car: "they just need proper maintenance." 😂 I love my n54 but they need so much work to keep right.
Exactly, thats why i went back to the E46 platform,
They are way more reliable, they still have their problems but.... less problems
Tell me about it.. starter and belt went out right after each other
Every conversation I have with people when I tell them I own a n54 ends when I say. "Well I used to own a Saab"
had N54 powered 335xi AT, for a year / 12k miles. Changed oil and sparks. Had N55 powered 335i 6MT for a bit less time and miles - same story, only less fuel and more fun.
@@Kosmoz86 i should mention my car is high mileage and very VERY modified
I had 20's on my 15 Mustang GT. Looked great, road like hell. Swapped over to much lighter 19" rim. Ride quality improved dramatically.
You guys knocked it out of the park with this build. Simple, relatively inexpensive and clearly you were more than happy with the results. Keep up the good work!
Did a intercooler ecu tune on a 2015 bmw x1 same engine and had the same problem happen, went through two dme modules before we figured put (bmw tech not me lol) that this was the issue. Your guy knows his stuff.
X1 has N55, not N54 though :)
What did u do to fix it?
all it takes is a google search of the codes and you can find the solution hope you didnt pay that bmw tech much lol
I have an n54 335xi, I was worried about the maintenance with it before I bought it but it has proven to be arguably the best daily ever. It can be a little quirky to work on but once you get familiar with these cars it really isn’t that bad if you don’t mind wrenching and doing some research. I love those lights! I may have to get some!
How many miles?
"This should just be a bolt on affair." ... something you should never say out loud lol
That tire install 😂 I love the little hints of humour here and there! Good job guys the content is great!
The e90 generation 335i came with 17s stock. These come from a time when the 17 wheel was the norm. I completely agree that 18 is the right way to go. That's what I did with mine. That also allowed me more tire choices.
Only the very early E9x ones in lower tuned engines like the N52
@@machtschnell7452 My 335i 2009 n54 came with 17s. That was the last year of the n54. Granted my 335i is super base model of the 335i range.
I need to do that on my channels 335i!!!🔥
@@candycornpeeps 2010 was last year of n54 for e9x generation with the exception being the 2011 335is.
Me too. 17' look great too. I have 2013 is and it comes with the 19s. Don't really care for them. Looks borderline silly like when you see a cavalier riding down the street on 22's. The 17's and 18's look much sportier.
Hi Speed Academy. I'm from Philippines becausw of you I got my first car. It's Toyota Vios 2021, I'm learning alot from you guys!
“There’s torque everywhere” -DP LOL loved seeing the looks on your guys’ faces
I really like that car, but I don’t have the patience or the wallet for when it breaks down next month.
328s are more reliable
@@Benjji2x I got a couple homies who have 335i’s and 328i’s and they are equally unreliable they break down or have problems every month
@@richardledesma1675 335s are more unreliable and last less miles because of the turbos. 328s don’t have them so less issues there and they have less technical issues as well
@@Benjji2x I agree but sadly from what I’ve experienced they’re both having problems constantly
Contrary to the non-owners posting here, the N55 is extremely reliable. A lot of new low budget owners purchase these all clapped out with a ton of deferred maintenance which they do not correct. If one stays up to date and on top of the maintenance schedule, these are very reliable engines.
hey boys I got a 370z Nismo last night...I'm back in the saddle!
Damn near perfect track weapon!
Congrats. I wish I could but I always think: "in 1 year when you park beside twin turbo 400Z at cars and coffee will you regret your decision?" and yes comes to mind every time :(
@@idokwatcher2062 no turbos, no problems! 400z is just another Q50
sounds slow af
Welcome back to BMW Academy... I mean Speed Academy.
I jest, great stuff as always!
I agree!!!
I am literally so happy you guys installed those headlights, I’ve been debating on buying those headlights for a week now 😂 This video definitely helped me make a decision
Love the 335 build, if I were to recommend a better overall daily... Try the 335d, 900km a tank more torque and power is similar. I did a stage 2 on mine and it was incredible. Just in case you guys wanted to compete on best BMW dailies 😉
I second the diesel, the M57 is a pretty great engine, I have an E70 diesel
@@thebluepheasant9543 ,same here i came from e46 330d , e60 2003 530d,2007 535d,current car is 335i ,those m57 are torque monsters miss that low down power
Second. Had an alpine white E90 335d. True sleeper. But I felt like it got more problems going on than my 335😂
The M57 is probably the best diesel engine bmw has ever produced. Very popular for tuning in Europe. Used to drive my dad's 530d from 180k up to 400k km when we sold it. It had no issues besides a MAP failure and worn out harmonic balancer for more than 200k km of ownership. But preventative maintenance was key.
@@kristiyanvladimirov2848 ,bullrtproof if looked after too
The best part of this video is watching you guys drive the thing at the end and talk about how the mods impacted the way it drives. I like that you guys do allot of technical stuff like upgrades, and dyno runs but the driving portions really connect with me most.
Pete and DP at Speed Academy, working on BMWs so we don’t have to 😂.
Those conti tires helped ride great too. For the price and performance, they have remarkable road manners.
With the added power and the auto transmission, you 100% need an XHP transmission tune. Stage 3 on the street is amazing.
Catless downpipes and the Alpina Trans tune along with beefier swaybars really bring that car even higher levels. Love these N54 cars.
Car looks great, lads. Stop giving me BMW envy..i don't wanna go there.
I see you changed your mind on flush mounting the exhaust tips. Looks much better poking out a bit.
I agree!!
N54 engines are great engines, you can prevent problems with these engines by taking your time find the week points of these engines from oem and replace them with more reliable and sturdy parts. I've owned my bmw n54 for 2 years now i have replaced many parts before the became a problem and i only need to do normal servicing on the engine. Maintenance first then performance , keep a minimal tune and dont beat on the car 24/7 until you have fixed the week points then you will have a amazing engine.
Definitely my favorite 'pimp' so far, loved every mod. I'd love to own one exactly like that. Great series guys! Thank you!
I agree, the 18's look so much better! Good job once again guys!
This was an awesome little series! Honestly these power gains are quite impressive! Great job gents.
Just parts, may I ask the cost?
Brilliant & inspiration video. My Grandson jut purchased a used BMW a month ago. Oh to be 16 and in love with your first car. My son & Grandson work on it everyday ❤
I replaced my turbos with Vargas OEM + ones last summer, upgraded the charge pipes, the ignition coils as well as replaced the oil pan gasket and transmission solenoids and fluid flush and I am loving my car even at 185,000 miles. I need to do an intercooler upgrade for sure but even with an MHD stage 1, I am loving the performance I get. I'm focused more on longevity since new car prices are ridiculous lately but a quick jump to stage 2 and I can really stretch her legs out every now and then.
Im glad that there is now a video that shows this issue with the injector mosphets i had mine replaced at a local computer shop in town and im sure you have a computer place near you to do it after it is done and you reinstall the ecu you should never have a problem again i got my mosphets at 10 of them when you only need 6 for only $6 so go ahead costs about $100 to $150 for the soldering job other than that kind of a cheap fix for something that i thought was such a big deal before i thought about changing the mosphets out and i did use an upgraded mosphet as the replacements and i have not had a problem and have been using the ecu now for a year and with a mhd stage 2+ tune that is more aggressive than the cobb tunes so go ahead and do this instead of the ecu upgrade that costs $900
AdamLZ needs to see this with the DME and mosfet stuff
He's got an N55, not a 54. And from the last thing I saw, it was finally running good
@@snape1464 cmiiw, hes got a n54.
@@snape1464 no, he has a N54
Hes has a msd81 hes fine
@UCSeORJHRFkB-Zio_UUjrT2A yep, he changed it to msd81 years ago, I remember that too.
Just the right amount of mods to improve performance and look. I think the 18 inch wheels are just right for looks while maintaining daily comfort. What's next for the car? Would be interested in seeing more feedback on the ownership experience after a couple of weeks.
you made the car look worst then it did man still made it faster at the end of the day
I can’t wait to graduate to an n54, specially one worked on by you guys! And yes I’m not afraid of the repair bills, like any car if you take care of it it will takes care of you. I’m rocking an e90 328 lci that I bought it with 61k miles and 3 years later I have 141k, aside of maintenance and the mandatory BMW oil leak, “which I’m fixed all myself” this car has been a tank. I also had an 02 Neón RT that I used to autocross with 267k miles on the original motor and it was still embarrassing newer cars. That e92 looks like the best of both worlds, confortable enough to daily and just the right amount of performance and suspension mods to make it a killer weekend warrior.
Nice work fellas. My dad sold his 2011 335is (N54) last summer and watching this makes me miss that car.
Anyway, thoughts on a steering wheel upgrade? A retrofit to a more modern looking steering wheel would make a great video.
These guys are single handedly going to put all the 335i's out of my price range.
At this point in their life all the bushings are shot, brakes are spent, leather is scuffed, turbos are on their way out, and rust is forming in rear quarter panels.... They can try to inflate the price, but they are in need of refresh/restoration and factored in you are spending M money. Smart money will buy M, and leave the ricer boys to run these into their graves.
@@idokwatcher2062 pretty sure quarter panels wont rot out considering that the body is galvanized, and the bumpers are plastic. The subframe will rot out before the body does
Basically, buy a car from Texas or Arizona or southern California. Avoid rust belt cars at all costs.
Surprise! Every car needs the rubber parts in the suspension replaced after a certain period of time or miles. This is across all brands. God forbid you have to replace any air suspension components.
I found you videos on my feed today and had to watch both. I've owned my '09 335 N54 6MT in Black Sapphire Metallic for over seven years and it's my daily driver, I don't have a tune because I've heard too many regarding cooler plugs, bad coils and more. I recently ordered a set of VMR v703 (CSL style) in 18" to replace the Style 189's and debated getting 19" wheels but am glad that I went with 18's. The wheels are on backorder so I can expect them in March or April. The car has cost me an average of $80 a month to maintain including a set of PS4S' and I DIY just about everything up to this point.
I'm still a bit leery of BMW reliability... BUT, can't deny that this turned out gorgeous! Great work guys and indeed, killer value! 👍
Do a diesel build! A 335d or a older tdi would be cool!
335d is the hushed up bmw super car. It only takes 2k to make it beat hellcats and anything else that is way over rated. Love mine, makes people want to sell their cars when I gap them 🤣
@@michaelmorgan9601 Whats Done to yours ?
My BMW 3 series - the best car I ever owned, the worst car I ever owned. Probably won’t ever pick up another one.
Dam those are some wise words brotha 🔥🔥
try Xhp transmission tune on that car makes a huge diff in shifting paddle gets rid of delay and makes it fun.
I kind of like the ride height as it sat before the springs settled.
Now imagine that power with 400-600lbs less in a short wheel base......You guys need a 135i!!
From what I read, the 335i is only 150lbs heavier than the 135i but yeah the 1 series is more toss able on a track.
@@mathieulevasseur4082 I guess option dependant too. But your right they aren’t that far off. Mine is just under 3300 (scale dependant) but it’s base base
I was hinting at striping one down a bit. Ther is a few out there hovering around 2900-3000.
why do people even dislike these videos nothing bad even happened
When you do anything more that a stage 1 Mhd tune you must, must must do the pret-tune engine out maintenence please see below.
Full engine out service:
• All the Gaskets
-Oil Pan Gasket
-Valve Cover Gasket
-Oil fiter housing Gasket
•Lines
•Seals
• Ignition Coils Delphi or Bosch
• Walnut blast to reduce carbon depsosits on Intake Valve
•Spark Plug
•New Belt + pully
• Electric Oil Pump (Very weak point of N54)
• Water Coolant pump
•Injectors Index 12 (need to be coded)
•Alternator if not been changed
•Vanos
•Upgraded high highpressure fuel pump
•Updated low pressure fuel sensor
And if you want big power i.e. 700bhp from a budget hybrid turbo like a 17t or 19t then port injection is the way to go.
Long term *Reliability, Durability, Affordability, and Quality* are king. Any car manufacturer that can tick all of these boxes in all of their vehicles win.
Camber doesn’t cause tear, toe does
I'm only here for pimp my ride and Connie celica episodes, thankyou speed academy
I like how you guys made this video. It is really for young and student, that has no money and unskilled, who wants to make a fast car. I'm lovin' it. I'm subscribing, I hope to see more like this. A lot of love from the PHILIPPINES.
I wouldn’t say I’m young 50ish...it’s also not my daily driver...but I enjoy the amount of tuning potential of the car plus...there is a certain satisfaction gaping a high dollar performance car with such a unassuming car. Feelers are hurt regularly 😂
When you guys got on the throttle that was amazing to watch.
Is the mosfet the cousin of bobafett?
I wonder what their yearly budget is on wheels I feel like every episode a car gets a new set of wheels
They are sponsored so.
$0
Enkei wheels have absurd price considering they are not forged. They can sponsor/advertise all they want but if you not buying forged then APEX ARC-8 is lighter and cheaper and designed to clear BMW big brake kits. Edit: also TITAN-7 sells forged wheels more affordable than Enkei flow-formed.
@@idokwatcher2062 no one said forged is compulsory.
@@traviswalker8933 It is when you're paying the same price. It will survive potholes that flow formed wheel cannot.
just got a new engine for my 328 after a coolant leak, they are correct you need to maintain these cars but if the pros and cons weigh out youll fall in love with bmws
It's truly amazing what the right wheel/tire combo and some restored paint can do for a car. It looks great!
Makes me want 1, but I dread when it breaks $$$$$$
The headlights and wheels look great!
I enjoyed you guys' experiences. I also have the n54 335i similar mods. One time I "blacked out" from G pull accelerating so hard like the jet fighter pilots do during max thrust! Small mods and this becomes a monster! I also kept the stock DP/exhaust for the sleeper sound + smells. Also have the ST coilovers + new shock mounts + 18" rims. It's like a drug!
Nice work guys! Curious on a price breakdown on the parts?
More than you can afford, pal!
Well, I've never been this early before
You guys picked the perfect car to upgrade... Its a future classic that has a timeless look to it. When i think of BMW in general, this is the car that pops to mind
Best series ever. I lose track and patience following a build over the course of months. Keep it up guys love it.
Sounds like this guy wants to sell his ECU fix even though the real issue was the coil packs. $100 fix vs $600 fix..
Yes our good buddy conned us into spending $40 dollars on the drivers and doing the labor for free. What a criminal!!
The mosfet is a VERY common failure especially 07 335i. I had to do it on my own car. Happened first pull after a bunch of big upgrades. Cust me $28 to fix.
No, John at BMS fixed our junk as a favor. He's not in the mosfet or coilpack business.
You’re not cool unless you’re running 20” ride high with -8 camber! You’re also not cool unless you pee your pants
😋
I'm cool then!
Look everyone, Billy peed his pants!
@@ReignitedAuto of course I peed my pants, everyone my age pees their pants. It’s the coolest
Hey guys. You did such a great job and I’m super envious! Ik I’m late but love your video and gonna check out some other car builds now!
As the title mentions, "cheap and easy", yet great results. Well done guys.
Imagine without cats. This thing would get like another 50ish hp and tq.
Who cares how 19" look... It is always about the drive. BTW, what a riot a non neglected BMW is. I can completely understand why von Kuenheim didn't wanted to export real M engines to the US.
I still had fun with my 2900# ‘95 m3 with 230whp.
These 335I are amazing performance cars which will also teach someone the basics on maintaining a car. The n54 is a good motor, very stout, and most examples now have had the teething issues sorted out. The N55 motor is fantastic.
Y'all make it look so easy, I cant wait to one day own my own 335i.
Me too bud
Something new I learned about these cars and the DME. Cool!
Thanks guys for a grate video I really enjoyed it . I wan to buy a 335i and now you guys showed me how much fun you can have with one . Thanks and keep up the good work
Great video. Love the enthusiasm when testing the mods.
I just got an 07 335i so your video series was perfect timing for me, I am still really up in the air about which wheels to go with and this didn't help because those look soo good. Nice vid guys
For the money and effort this one is a winner. As I said last time, I'd be happy to have this in the driveway. Especially for the $$ y'all have into it.
The only thing I'd change is the tint. I think it would look more refined with a lighter shade. In the drive video it looks good so maybe it was just the lighting in the shop.
DP & PT...making the jamberry! Loved this build from start to finish. Kudos on the learning sciences sponsor. DP highlighting the tie in of the 3D printing course to the build shows exactly how to make the S/A viewer relate to the sponsor...would love to see a similar pimp my ride build on the Audi A3
I love the short builds! I know N54's can make big power but they seem way too temperamental. Still, for $2500 that's a steal I'm very jealous of!
Best tire mounter in the world, i need to take my wheels and tires to you guys! BMW looks slick
Definitely diggin the build! Only thing I would do differently is I would go MHD instead of COBB for my tuning. Just a simple search on the topic and you'll get a laundry list of all the benefits of MHD vs COBB, other than that you guys have a solid build! I particularly love the headlights! Completely transforms the car to a more modern look!!! I need those on my 335i e90!
Jb4 with a mhd backend is what the guys who know what’s up use😊
N54 power 💪. On mhd and e85 it'd be even better. Also, the car needs m3 or solid rear subframe bushings.
The car looks like the ultimate daily! and at an insanely great price.
Wuite frankly, these cars are overkill in a sense urban setting. However, you will lose very few stoplight
drag races. On the highway they are real sweet. Get the 6MT or 7DCT (335is) if you can.
Have to agree the fatter tire wall makes it look purposeful and its more comfortable to boot.
The post 2009 DME on the N54 was a MSD81 which has the upgraded MOSFET transistors. Only the old MSD80 that problem. The switch over was MY 2009.
I have never heard of this problem on any N55 DME which are all post 2010. Since this can be Cobb tuned, this is the first version of the N55 DME.
My 2011 135i N55/DCT with this DME was used by Cobb Austin for a lot of their stage 1 tuning development as I had the Helix stepped intercooler on it. No problem with the DME was ever encountered.
Do wish you all had employed the Ohlin suspension offered by Cobb.
I miss my n54 . Gonna get me one again next month . An do this mod . Don't know why everyone say it's unreliable . I drove it 280km per hour for a 1500 km road trip . Kept it at max speed for a third of that trip . Never had a issue . I always drove it hard
wow I am amazed at the power gains from those mods! now I wish I had a 335i to do same thing with :)
Love it! I used to have an E92 335i managed to fit RS05RR’s 18x10.5 +22 rear 18x9.5 +23 up front. Miss these wheels they look amazing!
Never noticed your subscriber count until now. I guess the changes to the channel from last year are really paying off. Congratulations.
Great size choice for the wheels. These quick mod video miniseries are rad 👍❤️
You guys find the best deals. Never find anything like this near me.
Great video! Negative on rims, now it looks like a Honda Civic,,,
Nice work guys, that thing is quick, love the Wheels
I'm glad y'all broke down at BMS Tuning, because if that had been me I would've been replacing the coils and plugs chasing my tail before I would've thought of the ECU injector drivers going bad. I've had them go bad in my Honda ECUs before and it drove me nuts!
One of my favorite episodes from this series.
Man been wanting to get a 335i for awhile you guys just inspired me more to put more effort into it shout out y’all and amazing video 👌
Yeah i am back ,just because you did the proper road test ! Nice about time Dude.
