This surely has the M Performance exhaust option on it. Because the stock mufflers don't sound as good as this one does mate... ! 🙂

I just acquired my 2012 335i coupe convertible. Spent the last 6 years in search of a 987.2 Cayman. Finally relented. I don't believe I settled. this BMW is so nice and the performance is Exceptional

Thank you for sharing this, I've bought one based off this video and man it doesn't disappoint, unlocks the engines character 👍🏼

I have same issue with transmission, when its neutral and clutch up. My car is not BMW Z4 but it is -97 Honda Prelude. I have think to put ATF to my gearbox. I think BMW uses ATF also but there might be case they have but normal gearbox oil in your transmission as in my. Many people are using ATF also in manual gearbox and have better results than with normal normal oil.

I have a z4 coupe auto and sound is different compared to your car. With manual gearbox ,engine sound is More deep at low rpm 3:42 it look like a M sound i dont know if it is only on mine or on all auto box but my engine sound is not same at all however n52 is same with the 2 transmission i still wonder how is it possible as engine sound should be same regardless of transmision type On realoem back box exhaust has different part number on auto and manual ) but not sure it is the culprit i have investigated but dont know where this problem comes from next step is to replace my sound generator . Foot to pedal please if you can try to find an auto box z4 and do a test drive to compare it will help me a lot

Why are these usually always seen in poor condition?

Is this the new Jezza?

I thought this model has 320 bhp not 350 as mentioned?

Great presentation and insight you brought into this car. Interesting exhaust note. Care to tell us what make it is?

Anyone know the full spec of this car?

Lovely video, many thanks. My first and current car is an e90 318i from 2008 so my unicorn dream spec is a 335i touring manual in that lovely blue with tan leather. Never seen one like this and I deffo don't have the money but videos like this are vicarious living at it's best! Keep up the good work

Love those engines... What would make this video really interesting, if someone walked past those propellers with their face buried in their smartphone.

what

I've had sooo many cars over the years but never a BMW. People I know have always told me that the cost of repair would destroy any love for the brand. But recently I've come across a 2009 328i convertible that I just fell in love with only 85k. I'm not looking for top end speed, but wide band of usable power without the worry of the twin turbos. After see this video and a few others, I think I'll have a mechanic look it over, and if it's in great shape I will pull the trigger. Thanks !

well done

love how you've captured that engine sound !

The BMW Z4 3.0si Coupe with a manual transmission (828 units in North America) is a standout rarity: - **BMW Z8**: Even rarer with 2,543 units in the U.S., underscoring the exclusivity of both models. - **Audi R8 V10 Manual (First Gen)**: The Z4 is rarer in North America among only 828 units. - **Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1**: Fewer units compared to the ZR1's 4,684 units, the Z4 Coupe maintains a unique appeal. - **Lotus Exige S (North America)**: With similar limited numbers, the Z4 highlights BMW's exclusivity among only 828 units. - **Dodge Viper (Final Gen)**: The Z4's scarcity outpaces this iconic American sports car's approximately 2,000 units, making it a prized addition for collectors and enthusiasts.

I got the c180 avantgarde 2005 auto model, still running daily after 18 years with 440.000km.

The "N" in the N-series engines stand for "no, thank you"

i have the same Fabia 2 Rs build in 2010 i have driven it 260000km now and it still has the first engine.

Recently bought an E90 330d. Wishing I bought a 335i now 😂

I own a BMW 335i 2011 and just pasted 100k. Love this car and just the BMW brand in general.

Thanks for the video I just bought 215/45 17 into a JCW f56 and the feeling into the corners and acceleration is like having glue in corners amazing tyres

I have an N54 E92 and Im absolutely addicted to it around 400whp until I replace some injectors. The N55 LCI E90 M Sport or sport looks so good nice and tight compact sedan and sounds great as well with that dual scroll single turbo. Great video

Injector prices between n54 and n55, $450 vs. $150, you need 6.

I have a BMW Z4 2.5 and for some reason I'm struggling with heel and toe shifting,I have a size 8 feet idk if it's just the case my feet aren't big enough

Not keen on Black paintwork, I think Z4's in lighter shades of paint like Silver or grey look so much better!

Sorry but 328i N51 is peak BMW lol ✌😂

My grandad drove one in silver, and I wish he still had it, if he did I wouldve bought it immediatly. He took me out on the open roads in this thing and thats why im into cars. Because this beauty shaped me into the enthusiast i am today. Miss it.

Great report. I bought a Z4 2.5i in 2005. Sold it two years later for a 993 Porsche ten years old. Very different cars but both huge fun. Just bought a 20 year old Z4 3.0i with 40k kms on clock with one lady owner for on new always garaged. I love it. Again. And your assessment of the modern auto industry is spot on. Nice cars but too clinical and not for people who enjoy the drive.

Your dash has the engine oil temp? Is that standard for 335i? My 2011 328i xdrive has the l/100km or something like that.

planning to get th e92 320i m packet

Is this with the resonator?

about to get an n54 as a daily, hopefully not a bad investment

Ive driven my n52 to 288k miles. Still is fun to get into everytime i drive.

Love my e92 n55 sounds great and has been very reliable

Ya my N52B25 has treated me well in my E90. B30 is even better of course. Great engine for a Z4 and a 128i Cabriolet.

Good review! The previous owner of my e46 sold it after he bought a manual e90 335i (twin turbos)... I still maintain that the e46 looks best, but that is probably partly just to make myself feel better as the e90s grow on me, haha.

I'm about to redo my 1992 8v gti. I've let it sit for 24 yrs. I'm going to redo everything. When I had an 89 jetty 8v. I put headers, tectonics exhaust 258 cam, dropped it but not a ton. Eibach springs kyb shocks and an air intake. That was it. But it flew and was a 4 door. The gti is very lite and very fast idkc how much hp it boggies

Is this car better than your Z4 Coupe?

Sorry 325 i!!!

I have an 07 335i had it for 8 years love the car love the engine super smoth and plenty of power :)

They are not in any way a proper sports car; the gearing is far too long, every gear last ages to get through, I find they feel quite slow as a result. They have heavy flywheels so don’t Rev anything like how a Ferrari does, the throttle is slow to respond, and the they feel very ‘diluted’ as if it’s been subdued for the mass market of idiot ms that have no clue about cars. Sure they handle well, but the drivetrain is a real let down, the 996 Carrera engines respond poorly to any modifications apart from a light flywheel. This will shock you but I turbocharged a mk1 Eunos Roadster and it was far more fun than the 996 I got afterwards, diluted and soft, a GT perhaps, certainly not a proper sports car.

Just picked up an E93 with the N52. Great, smooth power with a wide torque band. I just discovered the sport mode on the automatic transmission and it's scary good on the curves!

Have we got a spec of the suspension

Had one of these for a few years, I have since had an f82 and a f80 competition but still miss my e90 335i. Fabulous car!

A recent 130i purchase prompted me to find this video and, in turn, your channel. Such good content - subscribed!

Great vid. Would love one in touring guise.

Best looking 3 series ever!

There's a company called Carphonics who can update the nav units in older BMWs with Carplay, while still keeping the original units.
