Yes! Bring on the N54 content! I vote for keeping it simple. Pistons/rods with a stock headgasket and studs, see what it will hold. Really doesn't matter what you decide to do just bring back the n54 videos! 😄
thanks man
haha, fair enough!
@@ZeroTo60Tube n54 has so many issues. Why don't you switch to n55?
Because b58>n54>n55 for making power
😂 n55 was a comprise at best. But for the gear heads and people that love tinkering with cars n54 ftmfw! Plus the e chassis is just sexy. If you're going for power it's b58 or n54. But the b58 has the garbage electronic steering. @@omarmoran3097
N54 OEM+ reliable road course track build. Everyone is dead set on making these cars straight line roll racers, instead of embracing what these cars were made to do, well balanced corner carving.
This is refreshing!
Dct (variety coz why not, although I'm an 8hp fan) ✅️
Stock bolts ✅️
Single turbo-e85 ✅️
Chasing 4s 100 200 ✅️
Good old zeroto60 content
I like it man! The 4s 100-200, thats a sweet goal for this car. I want to keep it full street trim and nice to drive so 1/4 times are never going to be that good. But we'll see.
This car is the reason i started following this channel. I’m stoked to see it revived!!! Amazing!
I vote for attempting a reliable 700whp build without going overboard - so standard head bolts/gasket, rods & piston UG, keep the DCT, ask Austin very nicely for the Nexsys DI delete and run it all of a stock ECU. I'm not sure anyone has really yet established the baseline needed for reliable 7xxwhp (i.e. before you get into closed deck/sleeves power)
Interior wise: back seat delete, DIY alcantatra headlining and ABC pillars, some F82 or G82 buckets, and of course a custom audio system (with front sub to keep the weight down / in the right place).
Headlights: Full rebuild with pixel halos and switchbacks, and blacked out housings.
Closed deck is easy with a Concrete Fill!
@@patrickklos9704how easy? With No deck plates No machining?
@@needmoreboost6369 No Machining and no deck plates.
@@patrickklos9704sure that works for a quarter mile pass then you have to let it cool. Good luck street driving in Australia with a filled block 😂. We fill blocks in the Cummins world but it's a solid iron block and head. Plenty of room for massive oil coolers. Still be cool to see, then put some compounds on and let er eat! S257 with an 475 couple of 44mm gates. Ohhh I'm dreaming again 😂
Woo hoo, you’re back with N54 content. This means my gets faster too.
I would love to see the diff modification thing done and have your opinion of it. I see the latest version of it doesn’t require you to machine anything to fit it, so long as you have a bolted crown gear
Thanks man!
I forgot about the whole bolted crown hear. Ahhh I bet my current dct diff is bolted. Hmmm time for some research.
What’s your current setup?
@@ZeroTo60Tube I have the 2008 335i E92 auto with stock rear end. I don’t know if I have a welded or bolted differential as the info I found didn’t give me confidence. I thought about having a look with an endoscope, maybe it can be seen without disassembly. I need to do something about getting the N54 power engaged with the road
So happy to hear its back! i got my e92 seized in 2023 aswel fought hard for it back, got it back about a month ago and i had hopes you would get it back aswel! the legendary e92s never get rid of it revive that beauty.
Man, what a year! Glad yours is back. What sort of build is yours?
@@ZeroTo60Tube fbo stock turbo mhd ots tune with plenty of tasteful exterior/interior mods aswell cant wait to see what you do with yours!
I see that you are not abandoning this 335i, which deserves to come back to life and which will continue to fuel the passion ;-) well done ANDREW. Team N54💪🤘
YES! Your channel and your E92 played a huge part in me getting an E92 N54, after binge watching all your N54 vids in lockdown, had ny car a bit over a year now and have been ticking off the mods, absolutely love it. So stoked your E92 will live again, can't wait for this content. Rods/Pistons and factory head bolts and send it, how about an M3 diff and axles?
😢🥺the car that made me get a n54 please bring it back to its former glory😁
I’ve been waiting for a long time for n54 stuff to be back ❤
You and me both!
Great job zeroto60. It would be awesome if you do a price point rebuild. With the cost of piezo injectors and HPFP a DI delete would be good. Also a m57 6hp28 is the most cost effective trans upgrade, so it would be cool if you did one of those. Arashi ball bearing TT’s. SLG 8.8 diff as the choice/cost of centre and ratio is awesome. An xtrons install for gps and full car play. Poly subframe bush’s and engine/trans mounts. Tail shaft centre bearing upgrade. Also do a full run down on which suspension up grade is best, coilovers or h&r springs with Bilstein B14 shocks. M3 control arms and even swaping are bushings to spherical. Thanks for not forgetting about us N54 tragic’a and I can’t wait to see your build take shape.
Would be interested to see time serts with any head bolts and an epoxy closed deck solution with oem or athena cut ring gasket! Would also be interested to see some port only solutions! Lastly a ford 8.8 with your own mounts and drive shaft solution would be cool to see since the kits are so expensive.
Good to see the return of N54 content. I cant wait to see this. Not just an N54 build, but the car as a whole. I kind of want to see you go nuts with the N54 and go with head studs, closed deck inserts, head work, ect, but I know most people wont ever go down that road. Honestly, push the power as high as you can while doing it the way your average person would do it. Build out the suspension, poly bushings, coil overs, the whole 9 yards... or what ever that is meters. I think it would be a cool build to see. Either way, cant wait to see what you end up with. Its going to be good.
I feel you on the short time frame. I'm in the same boat, due to recent events I had to step up my E60 535i build and I have until June to get it car show ready. Kinda scared.... The money I've spent already is absurd and its not even close to done.
N54 CONTENTTT!! YESSSSSS, the legend returns
Closed deck for sure... Scan the top of the block, machine the perimeter of the cooling openings slightly larger, and have a press-fit CNC machinened insert made for it. Copper gasket, upgraded head bolts, forged rods and pistons and have fun..... And FF sake, port the head😊
Resin fill the block, stock crank, head bolts, and OEM head gasket..... Let's send this thing to the Moon
E90 front end swap just to be different, racing diffs cheap diff insert, put in the same head unit as the Evo, the M3 gauge cluster... Maybe even some Maxpeedingrods coilovers since we're going cheap...lol
N54 , S55 pistons and rods, Stock head bolts, upgrades headgasket, OEM+ suspension, good shocks with springs. Diff Lock springs( DIY guys will appreciate) l, Blue Dickass Brakes lol 😂 G-Series M Seats if possible. In my opinion I think that'll be the best build. And probably the most cost-effective. Love the videos, sadly sold my E92 335i in America to buy a home😢 but will be back with something better 😊 Keep it up. Will always support ❤️
I’d love to see that thing run the DI delete kit with mhd. Seems like a game changer. I think some big blue dicase brakes would look awesome with the m3 wheels!
That’s sad but exciting at the same time. Definitely go with a good diff. If you have DCT go with the m3 cluster so you can code in the shift lights retro in NBT eco and some nice F80 seats to bring it into the future. I would go head studs from arp and some good bearings also. But it’s your build so do what makes you happy and we will all support you. Great stuff mate
Thanks man! I would love a DCT shift light setup.
NBT nav would be interesting. Bilstein dampers (B12 or B16). For trans, just put new clutches in and try out the M3 GTS software as it really clamps down hard at takeoff, but make sure you get an engine tuner that understands torque reporting so you don't smoke them again. Also I'd vote for a proper ATB diff over the lunchbox things.
Here is an idea: make an proper daily/tracktday tool which can beat the F80 M3 competition in drag and circuit race. As an owner of n54 e90 i would not sale it unless i can afford F80 M3 with it. There are bunch of videos of maintanance and builds but your videos are better because you explain it and tell the issues which you run into. We need your videos of building a daily car which is reliable and hold itself to a modern sportscar.
YESSS FRESH E92 BUILD!! Cannot fkn wait
Edit: I think considering you have a clean start, you should restart the “budget build” series from scratch. Building it like a shop would be so sick to see, but building it realistically like someone saving and buying parts would, would be more relatable - showing us what we could potentially do with our builds. All the best man ✌🏽
Hyped to see what you do with it, I got arrested in 2022 on similar charges and i'm finally resurrecting my e90. Hope to draw some inspiration from your journey. I recommend building headlights yourself instead of going ebay or with something else of less quality.
Closed deck... Sleep happy!
I wanna see a fully closed deck build to make 850whp comfortably! Also, OS geiken diff. Widebody kit a must.
I still do a at home head stud upgrade and am getting good results I'd like to see some more of that or a arp stud option for all the head sealing..
Hey Andrew. About the diff lock sets. I know a n54 guy in the US. He mounted the set on his 600WHp e90. He blew the set quickly and decided to go for an(expensive) M3 diff. He had also gotten rid of the 6-speed auto( burned the clutches) and mounted a 6-speed manual shift. But because he was very interested in the F-series B48 Turbo platform, he sold the car last year (after many years) and now drives a build 500Hp 330I. He made me n54 addicted. Have a good one.
Btw I heard the Victor Reinz head gaskets are the same quality as the BMW OEM ones. Dutch regards Nico.
Probably all the same, I just finished replacing the oil pan gasket and turbos on my xdrive e90 and bought a mahle gasket and surprise it said victor rinze on the gasket lol. Looked identical to the stock gasket minus the old crusty rubber. I don't think it really matters, the machining is the important part, unfortunately nothing comes close to the factory machining.
My experience is that the DCT copes pretty well with slip on launch, especially the thick OEM clutches :) Upgraded clutches are thinner and the metals warp easier with heat because of that. Whats really hard on the clutches is slipping under high power, like if it slips at high RPM and full load for more than a second or two. What can also cause clutch slip is inaccurate torque signals and/or adaptations. I can show what values to look at regarding adaptations in INPA if you want :)
These are my experiences at least, I did over 200 slip-launches in my E30 4wd DCT with no issues, good grip but also shorter diff ratio and lighter weight than E92 so that my affect it too maybe.
You are the DCT GOAT! Did you have stock clutches in your s55 1 series? Would love the info on the adaptions pls
For brakes, try the f series brakes conversion
There is much beliefs on coils and their impact. Would be cool to see if one could find where stock or Delphi coils comes bottleneck without adjusting spark-plug gap and then see if b58 coils add any benefit to the game
N53 cylinder head on the n54! Increased flow on all and they cheap to! Not sure on how much machine work is involved!
Hey super duper ambitious but have you seen the 335d with tri turbo setups?
They replace the dpf with a big turbo that compound the smaller twins, does this sound like a crazy experiment you may want to attempt?
If anyones its you to have the first tri turbo n54 on UA-cam
Well it’s a special setup on the 335d. It can bypass the 2 small ones, so they are not a limitation. So not all gas neeeds to go through the small twins. Compound setups are wild, probably a bit too wild for me.
Firstly, it is sad to see your black E92 in such a state as is it now. Hopefully, a cut and polish will restore the paint back to the way it was previously. From the state of your hood lining and rear seats, it appears that water leak you had previously is still there in the roof. Apart from getting a replacement for the rear seats, I don't know what else you could do. For the front seats, a set of M4 seats would look good. For the rear end, I would recommend a M3 diff and axles or 8.8 Ford diff with DSS axles. Both are costly but with 700+hp , in the long run, they are cheaper than replacing standard diffs and axles. A built engine is a must for longevity with 700+hp on tap. As you are well aware, the 8 spd will be far better all round compared with the DCT. I would go 8 spd straight up and sell the DCT. I can't wait to see the series of videos that you will produce with this project. I am sure Andrew that you will restore/rebuild your car back better than it previously was.
Interior stripout if it unbolts throw it away, 8HP70, 8 1/2" diff. Maxx ECU Pro, Pistons and rods sleeved block (Leave it open deck) I liked the idea of mazda head bolts(maybe not toqued as high), Head port on exhaust and +1mm exhaust valves. Now Pistons can lower compression but if you have E85 at the pump stay high compression and E85 dedicated, Plazmaman intake manifold, DI delete
Yes sir so happy to see that car and King single all the way and 8spd🎉
These are exactly the videos I love from your channel
Does Dave still have the m5 and do you still have the other v10 one
I want to see a come back of the old polo tee shirts 😂 good to have you back!
hahahaha, that made me laugh.... you must be an OG
Bypass direct injection this time. Injectors aren't cheaper or readily available anymore. Ken will tell you about the Spoolstreet DCT flash for GTS which seems better than xhp.
Wouldn't bother NBT
Go for m4 seats
Please try the racingdiff i’m considering that spring based lsd setup on my 335i
Good to see the OG back on.very cool. I would be extremely interested in the Resin idea, might help with phantom knock I would suppose but other than that I'm not sure, just thought it would be a cool idea. Paint wise, you always got me brother.
Definitely kept the dct, would love to see how much power it can take, cause I just picked up a dct 135 😆.
Glad to see you back. Team N54!
Keep up N54 content please keep it simple brother 🫡
I think you should show everyone how to DI delete the n54 and run port injection with nexsys set up.
Digital Gauge cluster closed deck 12mm head studs with MaxxEcu, PDM install and how to tune with maxxecu for the n54 or stroker kit 3.4L with 100mm stroke with 86mm bore and send it to the moon 🌙 and let's hear the n54 at 10,000rpm already
My opinion
-upgrade rods and pistons
-stock head gasket
-arp head studs
-old single set up
-all the fueling
-8hp (it’s going to happen just get it done and focus on something else)
-dickase front brakes
-15 inch rear brake conv.
-8.8 inch rear end
-Apple car play/ android auto upgraded idrive
-m4 seats
-m3 style or custom Custer
-e92 m3 full suspension (if you can manage with the time limit)
And you have the perfect e92 n54
I like this list!
@@ZeroTo60Tube it’s calling your name only thing to do now is to do it lol
@@ZeroTo60Tube if this list is used can I get a lil shout out on a vid? Lol just by name no crazy promo
I'd like to see a sort of OEM+ setup
Not sure whether it'd be best to go DME or standalone, I think I'd lean towards MSD81 & Motiv Relfex, but being in the space you're in now maybe there's better options for fuel control?
I'm with the guys saying a well balanced setup would be nice, thinking ~600hp ST with a quick spool, Cheap aftermarket piston & rods, stock gasket and bolts, M3 control arms, ST coilovers, the dickase brakes, proper LSD, F82 seats.
Just keen to see new content :D
I think we are on the same page. do you know anyone running the ST coil overs?
@@ZeroTo60Tube Some of the US e90 guys have them, saw them featured on swap depot or vehical virals i think, but to be honest I was keen on trying them out in the future. I get BC are cheap and easy, but them ST coils seem to offer a step above that might give a more refined ride to them.
I run MCA Street Performance coilovers in my Skyline and they're great, I feel like the ST's are closer to this kind of territory but more for our euro cars, MCA's an option too I suppose, might get a local brand deal on them?
Yes yes yes! So good to see the n54 back mate!
My vote is the 700hp number so stock internals dct a good lsd diff, quality twins
N54 content. Hell ya!
Yes! It's back! Good times ahead
Maxxecu dct 30psi of boost, when the dct gives you an issue yank the dct and 8hp swap 👌
Half cage . Single turbo . Proper lsd . Full e85 . Weekend track car . F80 seats . Please and thank you xo
A N54 single turbo / DCT with upgraded flywheel and clutches. I would love to see what you’re talking about with that cheap LSD, and I am getting ready to build my n54 in my 335is This is exactly what I need to see
Supertech oversized valves intake and exhaust
Cometic head gasket
Stock head bolts
RB turbos
Bms intake with port injection controller by reflex

Tuned by Chris Kontos @ Motiv USA
Awesome! I think a reliable 700hp engine, quaif / wavetrac diff, standard ECU. F80 seats, steering wheel if compatible. Android unit with 360 degree camera etc. really looking forward to the build series👍🏻🇦🇺
I like it. Well apart from the price of those diffs... haha.
plEASE REDYE THE LEATHER (brown & beige) WITH AN AIRBRUSH ! its so much easier than the sponge method everyone uses and wrap the dash in the same colour leather it'll look crazy! ive wrapped my dash in micro suede which was a way easier job than leather , a year ago and its holding up good - im just concerned for you with the Australian heat and no front windshield tint and parking outside ive heard of peoples microsuede colour fading they may have just used a cheap quality one since theres some drop top corvettes that come in all alcantara and they hold up fine. very proud to see you back at it love from canada!
How is your suede dash holding up? Got an instagram?
Good time to get the ecs tuning aluminium expansion tank. 1000 hp + would be the aim. Closed deck block. Fcp has a sale on. Coolant use the blue color from nulo/valvo/oem higher boiling point than the recommended green coloured ones
I hadnt seen that expansion tank, its looks mint!
@ZeroTo60Tube yeh it's the new turner motorsports one I tried to order but they took forever to accept payment so it relapsed and I ended up getting oem spares from victoria. Alot of oem stuff there new for less just got to look
Woohoo! This is what I subscribed for! Miss this E92! Definitely go with stock head gasket because everyone seems to think that they're so good, and play around with head bolts if possible so that we can once and for all decide what setup will hold power the most reliably.
Great point!
Can I help break this one as well. Keen to see this happen! Big turb, E85, 800hp lets go!
Test that racing diff for the rest of us haha, cheers mate
Yes!!! Back to the best content, looking forward to what you do with it.
I got a racingdiff LSD insert that was sponsored by them, it was the new one they came out with new material, supposedly its for "bigger hp cars" , its been holding up for over a year now and gives me full lock with about 550-600whp, loving it man!
Interesting, i have heard a lot of horror stories now.... in the comments section actually. However ill check out this new version. Would you do it if you had to pay for it?
@@ZeroTo60Tube Definitely, there is another LSD that a friend on mine bought also from ebay that came from the UK? I think it costs like 900AUD all up. Looks like a quaife could also be another option for you! But yeah even if i did have to pay for it i would probably give it a shot since its pretty cheap, as long as you install it correctly its pretty good. Over the years one thing ive definitely learnt is every time i hear "If you didnt wanna pay big $$$ dont buy an n54" i roll my eyes, Your channel, plus others overseas and in forums have shown theres more than one way to skin the cat haha. I think some people are just way too much of a purist to admit when something works while also factoring in that anyone can have problems with something, take the viv 17t's im sure theres 1000's of people with no issues, but also hundreds who had issues. Sometimes its just unlucky
Don’t used the spring locker in the differential it will brake it. I vote max ECU, epoxy close deck block, factory head bolt and gasket, would also like to see updated valve, valve spring and retainer, we need a BMW with some RPM with single 3.5 or 4” exhaust.
God bless finally monster 👻 come back love to see
Depends on the purpose of the car and how much daily you want to retain. Far as the interior: Rear seat delete, carbon block off panel, alcantara headliner, pillars, and contrasting storage deck where seats used to be with tiedowns for helmet storage or whatever. Could even sacrifice some of the former rear occupant elbow room on each side and put in twin subs... there is a ton of space in there IF you're willing to pop out that second cover thing behind the 'door' cards. I've got an android head unit with physical buttons and still like that a LOT but have been working on all the wiring for a digital rearview mirror this weekend... that should be in on Tuesday and look pretty clean. Also it's still a mirror if it fails, which is good.
Far as diff. stuff, I'd love to see you try a cheap kit since I'm cheap and your experience making your own upgraded LPFPs helped me go and do mine in a similar way. I would look into adding some of those foam cubes to the fuel tank lobes that reduce slosh. The retail kits are too damn pricey but if I can figure out exactly what kind of foam it is, chemically... then should be easier to buy wholesale and just cut the bastard up! Got off topic. The other diff option with DCT I've wanted to try for ages to make use of that DCT's shift speed and extra ratio is putting an M3 rear end on it, which would make the gearing shorter. I calculated a table back in the day for that and could go find it if you'd like. I think the car would be more fun to drive especially with a single turbo format because you'd get to use all the rev range, and possibly even add an extra 500-800rpms depending on internals/valvetrain.
I know projects aren't completed as quickly as youtube videos make it seem but you can do it. -- Cheers!
How's your bro these days by the way?
Dude all great ideas. Not gonna lie, your channel is killing with the S63 build. So much want. Dave is doing good. Currently building his own house.
i think you should get a e92 m3 carbon roof. that would be cool to see and make that build more interesting. the build sound awesome already.
That would be cool! Maybe down the track.... you got me thinking.
@ZeroTo60Tube another cool thing would be getting a Bmw M3 F80 14-18 M4 F82 F83 14-17 carbon driveshaft. 500 dollar carbon driveshaft
OEM+ thicwhips’ 1M style!
This gives me motivation to work on my n54, I needed it haha I’m getting a weird smoking issue. It will randomly smoke heavy out of the exhaust for like 30 seconds and then stop. I drove it to work for like 2 weeks recently and it probably did it 3 or 4 times. Its white smoke and smells somewhat like oil. Have you ever seen this issue before?
Having the same issue although not as frequent or as long as yours. In a month it's happened twice. I think turbo seals on the way out.
Do the pvc mod and get a catch can, also the white is probably Turbo seals
You have an oil leak on the passenger side? Seems to always be the rear turbo that goes bad for some reason. You should see oil on the center section clamp if seals are bad. Mine weren't leaking into the exhaust though, but I don't run my stuff if something is broken so I replaced my turbskis. Black smoke can also be a stuck injector but you should see it on your afr's. Good luck 😂 turbos are a real treat to do especially with awd.
Your channel mate do what you want to do people will luv it or hate it can’t please everyone but you can do your build you want
yes yes, but the i often learn things from the comments or hear about something cool....
@@ZeroTo60Tube luv your work 8 speed the world , got on in my new defender 110 d300 wow power and economy got 6.2 l from Maroochydore to bribie island including 110zone and traffic

Would like to see a drag car and see some content on getting the car into the single digits in the 1/4 mile drag strip
Destroked n54 4n kit, DCT , id4motion digital cluster, paddles or gear lever? , m4 seats, m5 comp wheels
Dude..... that detroked 4n kit oooooshhhhh!
Please do the cheap diff thing
Can wait to see more content on the n54 platform 💯
I have two question for you:
1) What do you think about xdrive? How much hp is safe for it? Have you had any expirience?
2) Have you tried or maybe someone fitted N52 head on N54 block? Better flow and non direct injection on it?
Like the content and I am glad you started again with N54.
N53 head is better
1: i love the idea of xdrive, had it in 2 x5s. But we never got it in the n54s.
2: Im researching the N52 head mixed with a DI delete as we speak. I think it has a lot of benifits over even the n53 head, if you dont have DI
@@ZeroTo60Tube I have just rebuild N52 engine in my e90 xdrive and I thought to swap N54 in a while. Thanks for answer. greetings from Poland :)
For the love of god please go full stand alone ecu ! Keep it alive !
I think ultimately, if you want to make serious power its a no brainer.... but not sure if im there yet....
Ok first off, that JMC kit at 30 psi with the turbo you had on it is over 800 wheel allll day! Jake Spence made 750 wheel on 26 or 28psi with a Gen 1 6266 Precision. If I was you, I’d put rods, pistons & and pinned crank hub, put it back together with ARP studs, you don’t have to go over size! Run it with the motiv reflex you have, port injection Phoenix kit, stage 3 pump & you’ll have a nice 700-800 wheel car! Put a stick in it with a twin disc. Get a mint used steering wheel or have that one recovered. Rear seat delete, like a carbon fiber Nelson racing wheel one? Or get a used mint interior, they’re all over the place. Best way to go about the diff is get a used E92 M3 diff & bolt that in with the M3 axles. This isn’t rocket science & plenty of guys out there with 600-700 wheel reliable cars on stock engines or had stock engines for a long time of beating them! I’ll have my turbo in, in a few months. I’m running a Doc Race top mount with a GTX3582R. It would be great to see you put it back together brother & we can all help you source the shit you need….🤷🏻♂️💪🏻
I think the NBT Evo retrofit would be a cool video series to watch! 👍
Ultimately i think NBT evo is the best option. I have seen retrofit where they even update the images to show a e9x car, so it looks full legit.
your back to the roots, havnt even watched the video yet - but hell yeah
oh hey could you try the water jacket epoxy kit. that would be informative
Im speaking to a few people that have done it on Hondas. Trying to work out if i do want to risk it.
it seems easy enough and definitely cheap enough @@ZeroTo60Tube hey what ever happened to the block you drilled for larger studs.
Exciting! Gotta love your Dicass Brakes too. (That felt wrong lol). What a journey! Anyway wow I must say to think that we'd use your car to see if the Inexpensive LSD "Brick and spring" type solutions out there are any good or not seems like it's too lowbrow for you. That said I have been wondering myself as a seriously budget N54 guy if they are at all worth even trying. Do they actually work or is it just the sellers that claim they work as advertised? So it would be very cool. BUT I wouldn't like to push you into wasting time on something that lets you down when it comes time to rock the Casbah. Hmmm. Some of the sweet newer BMW seats or even get some used ones from swapped out or wrecked G series car? You could save a few bucks by leaving the back seat out or make a spot for King back there? Maybe King wouldn't like the G's lol. But I love the reliable 700 whp street machine with luxury intact! Always have! Stock Bolts and Parts except where upgrades are Not a 6 month wait and $10,000.
So this comments aged well! Turns out those LSD things are rubbish. Had so many people warn me about them, i will give it a miss. The dickass brakes are going on for sure. Ended up with f series seats. And just finished the NBT install.
Would be cool to see some Aussie made coil overs like shockworks
Rods,pistons,studs,gasket valve springs and bearings? The most basic mods most people can do to engines fairly easy, coilovers maybe new sway bars, try the cheap option for the diff. Should turn it into a build based on what a person would realistically be able to do in a shed by themselves? Besides skimming the mating surfaces and the tune which are normally out sourced by shops anyway
also if you’ve got a dct to kill, why not then 8hp swap when it dies 🤣
Surprised to see the state of that car!!! If I painted it you would have had 7 year warranty even in the aussie sun! Good luck mate, excited for the build 💯
Didnt know you were paiting again? Where you working now?
Not officially, still maining nerd life. Just for mates and fam wherever we can make a good space. Hoping to get my own booth setup down the track! @@ZeroTo60Tube
NBT evo upgrade sound like a great OEM upgrade
I would love to see a simple rods/pistons motor with a maxxecu!
Hey there, just have a question about what my n54 is doing at the moment and thought you would be the best person to ask? It’s throwing 2c9c, 2ca7 and 2cab but only after doing a wot pull and letting of at the end of it and then goes into soft limp mode, recently went stage 2 so did take o2’s out to install into new downpipes and that’s when the codes started coming. What do you think ?
Put a B58 in it and make all the horsepowers!
8.8 rear end would be very interesting
Back on that King shit 🥰
hahaha, as i was filming i was like this is a throw back!
@@ZeroTo60Tube It's good to see you back in your zone matey 👊
G35-1050 garret big turbo. Mfactory diff, 8hp trans.
for the diff try the seems legit garage setup? unless its to costly
Is there any of the E91 content coming back?
Big wagon fan here.
No, sorry. Well unless something cool happens with it. It’s been sold but it’s how I get to work every day.
How do I take 120,000 mile 335is and make it brand new basically
Take the money it cost to buy it when it was new, then spend that on a car thats only worth a fraction....... haha.Thats the reality. Its time and money.
MaxxECU and a gen1 8HP.... apparently the MaxxECU can run the gen1 8HP without the Turbolamik (or HGT) controller... win on both sides :)
Maxxecu is getting very close to supporting Dodge/Jeep 8hp protocol. Which means you can do a dodge trans with transbrake.... kinda cool.
Stoked to see you bringing back this car dude🫶🏽 I think you should more or less do everything you mentioned, definitely do the seats, i recently swapped m4 f82 seats into my e82 fully functional up to the heated seats working along with the light up badges in the seat, have also done my headlights with the upgraded Bavgruppe halos and fully blacked out housings, makes the car look super aggressive ! Two of my favourite mods not far behind the ST swap
I know what your problem was, Green coolant. JK glad to see the car back!
bahahaha. smart ass.
I would do what most of us would do, and that’s an OEM+ build.
1. Forged rods and pistons
2. Standard head bolts with OE gasket.
3. Deck cylinder head with standard valves and valve job.
4. Mfactory diff
5. MSD 81 DME
6. Reflex fuel control
7. MSD custom tune
You should be able to this in relative short order. Can’t wait to see! 👍
Ok ok! I like it. Fairly reasonable expectation to get done for the first version too
I read comments, and didnt watch all your video (yet) , but why no 6mt with twin disk? Those E9x need and deserve the 3rd pedeal.
A manual in a car that makes decent power just doesnt work well. Dont get me wrong, they are fun, but not fast.
@@ZeroTo60Tubesay it again for the slow folks with 3 pedals 😂. Manual transmission is for 90 hp Honda's, if you have to delete your ac and power steering for gains, the manual is for you 😂. There's a reason new cars don't use them, they can't hold real power. You can't rebuild the 6 speed either and good luck finding one in a few years. Dying breed.
@@joshuaquilliam2887 BMW just released something saying that manuals aren't going to be added to the new M cars due to the market being so small for them, so it will now only be autos.
Sounds like you’ve got a lot of work to do to be done by May!
