By far the best n54 build of all time. True supercar that's practical and well under 100k low maintenance. If I had to start all over again I would build mine exactly the same. As for all the comments about not building it yourself. From someone that does everything himself. People don't understand how much work goes in to production. Your content would not be as good if you were constantly wrenching on your projects. I try to do it all. I find myself always in the garage and too burnt out to promote my channel work on the cars and working fulltime. I'm sure u make way more money in promoting your brand and production than the money I saved working on my own car. Keep doing what your doing its working. Your able to spend more time enjoying what you do than slaving in the garage. Respect the grind
Hugh. Ht customz
Appreciate the kind words and understanding my grind. The truth is, I don't have time to play the trial and error game of doing big jobs. Sure I work on smaller jobs (on and off camera) but my goal has always been to help and educate like minded enthusiasts. So if that means me filming someone else doing the work so I can get my audience better, more engaging footage while being able to explain the process, then bring on the hate. Running a full blown business while already wearing multiple hats is taxing! 6-7 days a week 9am-9PM while also trying to reply to most of my dedicated viewers is a handful. Maybe I don't spend 5-10 hours installing a turbo kit on my car, but I do spend 20 hours on average on one video for you guys to enjoy! Believe it or not, even with me not working on the bigger jobs, I still don't have time to truly enjoy my cars because I'm making content for all of you. That said I enjoy every moment of my career and I wouldn't change a thing. You guys made it all possible and I'm forever grateful ❤️
@@VehicleVirals I appreciate the reply. I'm looking to get some track time at the Firm in Starke Fl. mid December or early January. You Ali and friend's should come out and rep the bmw community with me. Should also make some great content as it will be a real Gran Torismo like experience. It will also get you more familiar with the new set up. Keep grinding and thank you for your contribution to the community.
Yea. I'm in the same boat. Also I need a camera guy. Lmao.
I think for a realistic build, price could go down a whole lot with some overkilled or not mandatory parts. But that makes your build insane 🙏
I don’t think it was meant to be an economical build. He was building it with top tier parts.
Well spent Christian… I’m really happy for you and enjoyed watching the journey! Thanks for being bold and pushing the limits. Keep doing what your doing … Shout out to SwapDepot Jesss!
Beautiful car and build been following for over a year now. The content you’ve made with this e90 definitely makes this car worth it for YOU.
Great video. Thanks for all of the info and ideas. I just purchased an E90 325i for an absolute steal and plan on doing some reasonable mods. I'm not really trying to make it crazy fast (I'll get into a different model later on for that), just keep it reliable and smooth. That said, I'll be hitting you up for some items of they are available through your website. Keep up the good work. It's inspiring.
They don't mod n52 or n51 much, trust me i tried. you can do intake, exhaust, and tune. You could try headers if you don't need emissions. The last upgrade you can do is Milvs but this is expensive and you need a pro
@@jamestabat5412 intake, exhaust, and tune are the only things I plan on doing besides refreshing the suspension. Any other mods will be asthetic or retrofitting for newer tech. I've seen people installing superchargers on them, but I don't see the point on that particular platform.
@@aznerol0770 Yeah the supercharger kit was $5k last time i checked and it didn't even break 300 crank hp. And the motor is nearly ready to explode at that point lol but if you have an N52 you can still upgrade to catted headers and 3 stage intake. I have N51 which comes with 3 stage but AFE wouldn't recommend the N52 headers on it
Gotta admit though my 2011 328i e92 xdrive upgraded with intake and tune is an amazing ride, convinced me beamer 4 life
Incredible brother.. Overall It’s worth every penny.. Thanks again for all the great ideas.. 🙌
Wow lmao. Didn’t know you had that much into the car. Eiether way love the build dawg, it’s one of my favorites out there 💪🏻
I think the build video came out a year ago and you finally revealed the cost. I love working on cars but can't spend money like that. Great video!!!
Thanks for doing this video! Car came along really nice! Big Break Kit lol
Very informative video man
Great build! I'm just missing the diff on mine and went with a 6466 instead of the 6266.
Been waiting on this video👊🏼
loved the slo mo shots
Haha bro that final price hurt BUT when you want it done right and reliable then you got to pay the price.. awesome built bro!
No regrets here 💪🏼
Sounds about what expected Ik i tallied up the amount for the mods i wanna do when i get my n55 e90 and it’s about the same amount
1:12 Guys remember if you get tired of that HKS high pitched noise, remove the fins and you get a really loud woosh instead. One of my favorite things about HKS how you can change the sound
🤔
@@VehicleVirals HKS uses fins/inserts on the bov vent side in order to get that high pitched noise, think of it as like a t51r mod BOV. They even sell the fins to change the sound or you can just remove it completely. Kind of hard to explain what I mean but heres a video, pretty cool if you ask me
ua-cam.com/video/HblCEQXQ8Q4/v-deo.html
You speced it perfectly. Every mod I want to do. My E90 328i aspires to be that.
You can't turbo an e90 328i past like 15 psi and 350hp without blowing it to the moon. Even that is an extreme custom mod. These cars aren't turbo or meant to be
@@jamestabat5412 I'm aware lol the 328i is NA. I was meaning aesthetically.
This video came out perfect timing I’m buying a 2007 bmw 335i sedan tomorrow
Looks so good ❤
Nice video bro
I guess overspent, but definitely worth it! Beautiful build brother
Worth is like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder.
I've had my eye on the 8.8 mod for my E46. Good to hear someones opinion on it.
Unless your M3 is making stupid power, then I don't see the point of getting the 8.8 for it.
That thing is so clean it’s insane. That price makes me scared to go single turbo 😂 but you got the best of the best on everything so I figure it can be done alil more budget friendly without being a clapper
You can definitely do a decent single turbo build for half of the cost of my build.
I rather do something like this , than have a 80 thousand car note. Big ups to you my boy ! Car looks simple and clean. 💯
Except with an 80k car note you can beat on it within reason and move on to another
What impressed me the most is that you said the engine is completely stock and you bought it at 136,000 miles (?), "clapped out," and it makes 720 WHP!? SHIT BRO. There is a 2007 BMW 335i, RWD and Manual Transmission, for sale in my area. The asking price is a little much, but it has 114,000 miles and it is car fax verified one owner, clean title, NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED, and 24 service records found. I originally was going to use my daily as a trade in for a new GR Corolla, but after some reality check, it may not be the best idea. I want to purchase the car as a project car before the frickin' auto industry goes all "ELeCtRiC." But I don't want to spend the money to buy the car cash upfront, AND THEN END UP NEEDING THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY JUST TO GET RUNNING RIGHT (if it's in bad shape, since I haven't went to check it out).
What do you think? Is the E90 a platform worth starting out in or should I just bite the bullet and save money to buy a brand new car up front in like 10,000 years...?
Any opinions and information is appreciated, especially if you've owned a car like the one I'm looking at for a while. Thanks!
add in labour for the install of those parts... another 10k easy. wow ;) I have an n54 so I understand the desire to mod them! :)
I took out a 2nd mortgage just watching this video!!
😂
I wish I had used all that money on the DocRace top mount kit and the supporting mods to LS/T56 swap my 10' 335i e92 😩
Blessing the e90 platform 🔥🔥🐌
@0:38 .... "Like you're a friend".... We ARE friends Cristian... We. Are. Friends 😑... LMAO!
For the catch can. You could use magnet's to have it mounted without a permanent solution.
What would it take to talk ya into getting an N54 Z4 roadster to build? I have a 2010 Z4 thats so much fun to drive I only have 57k on mine. I love your channel and would love to see ya build a Z4.
That car looks sick.. Tigere I regret not buying a 335i. 😢.. Amazing.. 31 pounds of boost. Daaaaaaammmmmnnnnnnn..
Pay to play. I love the build. But like you, I really don't want to add up the money I put into mine. Currently doing a 335D trans swap. Boom 4.5k
Nice 👍
At this point all you need to do is Track it and see how solid and reliable it is!
Ouch that’s a lot but I’m probably half way there with you buddy I’d say I’m at least 25k in parts for my e92 single turbo build 😩 stuff starts snowballing so quickly in the name of performance lol
So easy to go down the rabbit hole!
I’m going to get a lot of flack for this, but BMWs standard shift knobs aren’t very comfortable, as coming from Volvo I was surprised how unergonomic they are.
He should do a build series with the three german luxury cars Audi, Bmw, and Mercedes. Put the same money into them and see what's best. I think that would be entertaining
We need an E60 535i build 👀🔥
If I get an E60, it might be an M5 😂
@@VehicleVirals that v10 with a nice titanium exhaust would sound amazing.
Money well spent!!
A genius. When it comes to 3series
Don't own a 335 but still appreciated this video 🙏
I appreciate you 💪🏼
ID4Motion needs functions like the AKMotion Datadisplay to show boost, ignotion correction etc. then i‘ll buy it but only as cluster replacement too expensive 😢
They are working on boost monitoring :)
Well. Form what i see , you made the car reliable . But thats à big price to pay for an old car but ... still looks cool and the fun must be worth it in the end
Double the power for half the price for cars these days
Did you ever do a splined or pinned crankhub?
No
How many miles were on the car when you got it? Any reco on max mileage or condition before considering an N54 for this type of setup? Well done here!
133k. Car was is poor condition and poorly modified. Did all the maintenance and then moved on to performance.
You may have put a lot of money into it but dang 10k was a good deal for that car!!
The price is pretty good, considering what you can get for 50k these days new?
Depends who you ask.
Ouch....been with you since close to day one. Loved my e93 335i but I sold it a few months back and bought a used Tesla Model S. Still love a nicely done BMW, always will. But the longer I own this Tesla the less going back to tuning a BMW to be rowdy makes sense. The maintenance and headaches aren't fun at all. That is indeed a ton of money to sink into an N54!!!
How much for the model S tho
@@jamestabat5412 I got it used. 36k out the door.
@@ferrynpalmer3875 Respect
Fuck a Tesla shits are garbage
how much you get for your e93?
What spec are your wheels ????
Whoever says that money would be better spent on a f80 m3, m4 or even a new m5 is crazy and dunno what they are talking about ….. these cars when done right are better and faster than those cars would ever be. Those s55 motors have crank hub issues and cost like 5k plus to fix just so you can tune the car. Then you gotta insure those m cars and maintain them. Having a car like Christian’s is like beating the system all the while smoking cars that are double or triple the price in cost while you laugh as they stare at your tail lights. Btw 26k for parts seems cheap ! Great job !
That is crazy because I got the same side marker lights but mine r white
Damn lol, I have maybe 4k invested in performance mods on my N54 and am pushing 550whp on an ots tune. With meth and custom tune I'm doing over 600whp+ all day. If I spent that much money, I'd be at TX2K with my 335i lol. Granted you did a lot of cosmetic stuff too.

yooo ..i need ur help since ur the best e90 expert. the other day, my 06 e90 started turning on slowly. then on 3rd day, the ignition doesn’t turn on at all. all the lights and computer still works though. i thought it was the battery so i bought a new one and swapped out but still no start at all. I also took my old battery to local auto store and tested it. it was good still. so that rules out battery. do u think it’s the STARTER MOTOR? can an OBD2 reader scan for starter issue? which OBD2 scanner do u recommend? Thanks for your time.
If you jump the car does it stay on?
@@VehicleVirals it doesn’t start

This makes me want to build a e90 to compliment the M5 now lol
It is undeniably clean.., that’s for sure!
But the sad part, and the reality of the matter is that no one..,(let me rephrase that..,”at least me”)
Would never pay more than 30k TOP! Because of course, (1) I’m broke. (2) you can get a nicer more reliable platform than a N54, (even though I myself own one and have owned 2 previous ones “135i” 2008 convertible 689whp. and 2009 hardtop one 390 and my current one is a 2008 328i wagon manual with a full n54 swap, from engine to muffler and literally.. everything else from a 335i with 70k in that motor and transmission, 124k on the body (MHD stage 2+,400whp or so..🤔🤔🤔) and anyways..(3) that car has way to much miles on a stock full bolt-ons motor..!!!
Is it beautiful?, Yes.
Is it safe?, Yes.
Is it dependable?, Maybe.
Is it reliable..? So far.
How long till actually blows up.???
Undoubtedly.., soon ( well maybe a little longer but, when you start to enjoy the sauce than have been added on that high mileage engine..😬😬😱🤭🤯🥺
But kudos to you man For giving that car the life that he deserves with all of those upgrades, just wish the motor had at least 65k. That would had made the car even more reliable and to have the value of a newer M3 which is what 45k can get you into..! 👊🏽
how fast is that thing ? 0-60, and quarter ?
I don't run this car from a dig
This is why I like UA-cam hotrodders. They do crazy stuff so we don't have to. Logically it makes sense to just buy an M3 or M4 but it's fun to see all the stuff you did on a regular 335.
I'd prefer spending money on the sleeper to see the looks on the m cars faces as you gap them
If you’re a car guy, you already know that a 335i is no sleeper lol…
How the hell do you figure it makes sense to buy a m3 or m4? Lol, 1st off, its a matter of preference on what chassis you actually want. Then ontoo of that, this is a 700 whp car. A m3 or m4 is like 400 whp and cost the amount he put in the 335 STOCK. By the time you get a m3 /m4 and get it to same power level, your talking 70k+
@@Alpha_apex it makes sense to get the m4/m3 as you can atleast get majority of funds back when you get bored of the car and want to sell it…. Good luck doing that with a modded 335i…. You’ll end up spending enough to buy the m3/m4… and then you only recoup the value of a 320d 🥲
@@mohammedcassim2923 bro, you dont BUILD a car, to be worried about what you're going to get if you sell it. Any real car person thats actually been doing this for a extended period of time knows this. You're one of those guys that will try and sell a m4 for 70k cause it has upgrades. Cut it out. You will only get about 10k over what the going price is for the car stock. And i already explained yes you will have spent what a STOCK m4/m3 cost. You STILL have to upgrade the car. I spent around the same as him, and im making over 800whp. I wish a stock m4 would pull up to me 😂
If you have the money and really love the platform and don't plan on selling it then why not ... but still alot of $$$ on that make and model

Gloss black roof ? Or 2 lines start to end. …the car deserves it
I rather this than an M3 , not only is it faster I'm pretty sure the experience is one of a kind.
will the 8.8 ford mod be good for 335xi owners too? being that there is two diffs would it still fit ?
Good question. I'd message them to see if they offer an option for xi owners.

2009
I'll buy the V1.

This build is worth it , depending on those 60-130 times
hows it feel to have the best 335 in the country
46k $ you wont even get a new 2023 car with that much feature and power. This is the way I see it, and this is why I'm building a E91 fully loaded with n54 ST swap, 6mt. I dont want a minivan.
my break down (In cad$) : 6mt e91 : 4000$ . 09' 335 m pack fully loaded : 7000$ . DKM : 2000$. ST kit 6260 : 7000$. wheels and misc : 2500$. Sell part : -2000$ . 20 500$ cad, and a blast of fun.

Not bad considering that’s close to original MSRP lmao.

I think a 2jz swap would have been cheaper and still hit these numbers .
Could recoup lots of the money by selling all the N54 stuff. No hate but come on guys. 2j been proven. I have a e93 N54 and a e46 330i . If I were to drop this kind of money I would just 2j it. Would be less running costs long term.

You didnt know that BMW pmeans bankroupt my wallet
46k and let’s add another 20k for labour, 66k grand total and there’s still a chance of it self destructing itself or not work right… yikes
$46k is a lot of money, but the question is can you get a 700hp reasonably reliable car in such a condition for less?
700bhp for the Christian has with all the best mods is worth it in my opinion. Haven't even seen an N54 so tastefully modded at that level 👌
Could probably do a civic awd conversion with 700 hp for slightly less or a civic with 700+ hp very reliably for under 30k
Soooo seeing the end of the video, does anyone want a 2011 335xi?
