  • Matt reviews an early BMW 335i with an ECU tune and a bunch of suspension modifications. Even at six years old, how does the 335i hold up?

    I wish there were more car owners like this guy around. Like Matt said, it seems like when everybody modifies their car, they get (in this order) huge heavy wheels with the cheapest tire available, coilovers to slam the car to the ground and adjust the dampers as stiff as possible (because discomfort=performance), and finally as many bolt ons for the engine as possible, without regard to any supporting mods. This dude actually drives his car as opposed to just going to meets at sonic and roll racing on the hwy.

    Great video. I can agree to many of his points first-hand, I have a 2008 BMW 535i with the same N54 engine and JB4/Intake mods but I also added a BOV/charge pipes and full straight pipes, definitely gives it that extra little edge and amazing sound. Most people do not expect these mods on a 5-series sedan, but it makes for a much better daily driver and the weight difference is actually very minimal from the 335i.

  • @225TTuned
    @225TTuned 9 років тому +2

    Matt, love this idea for the show!! Thrilled to hear you've experienced a lightly modded 335i probably 50-80hp over stock! Now how about +150hp/200tq sedan with a baby seat, or a 507rwhp/540tq convertible versions. Or even compare them to some v8 m3, and the SC'd versions! It's been a HUGE rivalry since 2008!

  • @boomshaker27
    @boomshaker27 7 років тому +1

    Third gear is special in this car. My E90 335 is tuned running the Cobb AP Stage 1+ Aggressive with Intercooler map blowing its sound out the BMW PE Exhaust. It will peak boost around 18-20 psi and damn, this car moves. I don't know if its my car specifically, but around 4400 RPM, it has this extra kick in the pants acceleration. Almost sounds like my tune is blowing a shot of air or fuel to make it burn hotter for a split second. It just sounds so amazing too. I get that roar of the PE exhaust, and the whistle of the turbo, and then this extra BBRRAAAAAAAAAAA BOOM as it kicks in 4400 PRM to 6000 RPM. What an awesome car to drive. Best part is that I can smoke most any sports car on the street but it just looks like a normal black 3 Series with tints. Very unassuming.

  • @johndongen5636
    @johndongen5636 9 років тому

    Absolutely perfect. Finally a guy who knows his stuff.
    For usable 'speed', these 335i's mostly need suspension upgrades, next to a simple stage 1 ecu tune.

    Great review! My father has one of these and I can agree with everything you pointed out. Only downside is the occasional turbo issue but they're not bad. Great cars, the 6MT is well worth the search. Wakes up the car considerable amount compared to the paddles.

  • @lito777

    I had one of these for for 6 years. Man what a great car. Before getting a evo or sti, try one of these out guys youll love it, its the perfect balancing of luxury and performance. Also with a little tune it turns into a straight monster! used 335 and 135s are the best deals ever. but you have stay on top of them ! and be able to do some mechanic stuff yourself if you can. but i know people with evo xs and stis and its the same deal. pay 2 play. but man was this car a monster. miss her to this day

I regret the Auto but love the car! Amazing in the snow and pretty quick with the Cobb tuner being the only mod so far. But I also have a 1995 E34 540i6 for when I want to row some gears!

    I've owned an e92 330D for about a year. It's no 335i, that's for sure ... but it was a great car none the less.
    M-sport suspension, sattel braun interior with black headliner (just part of the M-sport package). I loved it. IMHO, it looks better than the new 4 series, but that's just IMHO.

    • @xboy4331

      daaamn :o
      got a e90 320D myself, even for such a small engine i feel like it kicks pretty hard. but damn, you're packing over double the amount of torque in yours :D

    • @detaart
      @detaart 9 років тому

      Exata1337 It was a nice car. It was fast, but the character of the engine was very relaxed, even after chipping it.
      Even when you floored it, it was a very laid back car. Sure, it pulled pretty hard, but it seemed like it was never stressing the engine.

Too many issues past 100k, so I gave it to a family member and bought an F30 328I which is tuned as well. Still miss it though, great car and a great performance bargain under 20K, few cars can match it's performance, luxury, and daily drivability

  • @gweggorz
    @gweggorz 9 років тому +1

    I really like what he's done with this one, minus the M3 replica bumper (personal taste). The only other thing I'd add is a limited slip differential. AFAIK they sold all non-Ms with an open diff except for the 335is. Which is a shame because any regular 335i could benefit from it I think.

    I had intakes/AA chargpipe+bov/jb4 (g5) e40 mix+muffler delete...car was no bitch. Very fun and probably TO DATE has been one of my favorite cars I've owned.

      fuuuuck ahaha. I'm currently in dilemma between M3 or 335is. M3 is nice but rod bearing and low torque. 335is is pretty perfect tbh but no LSD.

    @The LakesideView I just bought one for around $45.000 here in Denmark, it has 161000 Km on the clock (100000 Miles)
    The freaking cars are expensive here!

    Always loved Matt's take on cars, however I can't possibly understand why he thinks that there are no good aftermarket shifters. Maybe for Honda's that might be true, but its a fact that for BMW's, Subaru's and Mustang's there are several shifter upgrades that are light years away from stock.

    Yo matt the n54 are going for 6-10k rn 10k gets you under 100k miles 6-9k gets you 102-177 miles i rather get in a n55 but the reality is if its been taken care of and the key points have been changed (HPFP, fuel injectors , gaskets, ) it should be good regardless i plan on getting one in december when the deals are even sweeter im a wrench monkey and i love to maintain my cars so it should be a fun journey enjoy yourself stay safe
