    Many people online choose to put the down the BMW 335i as a terrible car option calling it a money pit that you'd be better without. All the negative online noise inspired me to make this video and showcase reasons why it's an excellent car to buy especially if you're looking for a tuner car with massive potential. I have owned my 2008 BMW e93 BMW 335i for nearly 5 years, so rest assure what I talk about in this video is actual personal experience and not information I got from someone that has 0 experience owning one. That said there are reasons why you shouldn't buy one and I'll make a video on that topic is this video performs well, so make sure to like it and share with a friend!

Your five reasons to own the 335i all seem solid evaluations. Please publish 5 reasons not to own (or what to watch out for when purchasing; any advice, and that sort of thing is helpful towards making a wise decision). Keep on keepin' on, man!

Thes videos have been great it came with 5 cel codes i've learned my DISA valve was broke. Vanos seloniods were shot and secondary air pump has been deleted. I'm now down to 2 codes misfire cyl 1. I swapped coils and replaced plugs no luck! Hoping it's an injector. Other code is p1415 for air pump. Bought the OBD2 cable and going to tune it out. Basically thanks for all the videos I'd be completely lost without you and some other guys here!

    @pepsiontherockspls 4 роки тому +6

    Hey man I wanna thank you for making this because I had been looking for a video to explain what's possible with the car, instead of giving an opinion about what you think is right like everyone else.
    For anyone considering buying one... This past June I bought a 2011 335xi, e90 n55 because I was tired of driving around a shitty mazda 6. I don't make a lot of money and I'm 24. I was pretty intimidated regarding the cost of repairs and the rumors about cost. I couldn't be happier now. I got a great deal at 90k miles for $8000. The guy had receipts for the water pump and thermostat replaced at 70k, I called the business to confirm the work done and they were able to tell me quite a bit about the service record since he brought it there for all the work. In my own opinion, if you are anywhere near handy and willing to learn about how the car is put together to do maintenance, you'll enjoy the car MUCH MORE than you think you will. The first time I took it to back roads and floored it around a bend, I said out loud "are you fucking kidding me?!"

    Purchased a used 2009 e92 335i (N54 engine) stock with just m-suspensions and performance exhaust. Fell in love right then and bought it at the spot from am official BMW dealer. I have an awesome indie garage the specialists in m-tuning and tuned my 335i to the well known “full bold on” status. An insane 400hp and when using the JB4 you get an iOS app that comes along with it that you can use to see your engine live, switch maps and do other cool stuf like read engine failure codes,...
    The only thing I downgraded after the tune was the exhaust system as with catless down pipes and the performance exhaust... it’s just too much after a while. It was fun fir the first weeks but a cold start early in the morning gets your neighbors asking about it. Switches to a stock exhaust and still awesome sound :-)
    Love the car... some small issues but nothing unusual or catastrophic failures. You realize it’s a machine and a machine can have some issues. The 335i is perfect if you want tuning fun and still get to business customers in a classy stock looking car but has 400hp.

    I own a 2011 335 with about 88k miles. Over the past few thousand miles I have replaced the following: high pressure fuel pump, water pump (electric), valve cover and gasket, oxygen sensor, and of course brakes (a normal expense unlike the others). The non-normal expenses have been thousands of dollars. I am very happy with the car but surprised at how many things go wrong with it. Would not modify for more power as the car has a difficult time dealing with the power it has!

But my local car scene being everyone has a mustang, camaro, civic, focus, brz, or subie. Well I want to be different and ride in style. So settled on a 335i. What are some things I should look for? Plan on going with the streetfighter LA kit. I’m not new to BMW, had a e36 325.

    I've had my 335i 2007 msport FBO for more than 5 years and I love the performance, drive experience and sounds. The only dislike is the reliability issues... yes it does have constant oil leaks like a fountain and just the other day my thermostat shut closed which gave me a nice surprise of coolant leaks everywhere. The increase HP and torque by a tune and FBO expose all the weak points in the car so maintenance schedules are increased as well as a requirement for both high flow and low flow OIL catch cans! A must! Personally DCI is not necessary as the factory air box is more than sufficient for stock snails.

      Damn my Japanese VQ35DE from Nissan which has alot of miles on it, doesn't leak one single drop of oil. Also second owner and first owner had no engine problem ever. Same for me nothing with the whole drive train and whole engine. NOTHING. Literally really 0.0% problems. I think alot of BMW drives do not understand how reliable a car can be. And they are afraid to buy a Japanese real quality car. The only thing that breaks down on such car are "brakes" because you brake. And "tires" because you drive/drift.
