My daily is a 330i N52 260hp from factory, is a manual 6spd with the Sport and Premium Packages, its an amazing car way ahead of its time, had my doubts at first but after all the preventative maintance done and giving her love (currently has 224k miles) I have 0 regrets! 🙌🏽🔥

Same car here. Very reliable. Kind of a pain to work on with the computer and all, but overall its probably the best car I've ever owned (had 17 other cars). The 330i is kind of slow, but if you flog it and keep it over 4000rpm it starts to move okay. The engine loves to rev, so that's not so bad.

[@ShysteSnipez]

I went from a 04 330ci ZHP to an 08 335i and I've got to say... E46 is a wayy better driving experience. Dont get me wrong, a 335i is still fun as hell to drive but if a N54 E46 was possible it would be unstoppable on the road (until the HPFP, water pump, or Piezo injectors fail of course lol)

[@ZackWheeler-y7z]

As a BMW enthusiasts and e90 owner you're not wrong 😂. Even when the g80 and new Comp. cars came out literally everyone hated them, especially the big grills. Now they're arguably known as some of the best looking "luxury" cars

[@bradcomis1066]

All 3 series generations are great except the F30. That thing sucks to drive, but looks amazing. I dunno though, if you go back and read reviews from 2005/2006 people loved the E90.

[@baconnbootyy]

I daily drive a 2009 E90 335xi M-Sport N54 with 193k on it, original turbos. Got it at 129k, been reliable so far surprisingly (keeping up with maintenance). Just picked up a 2011 E90 M3. Can't seem to stay away from this chassis.

[@samuelprusinski]

I just finished my upgraded turbo N54 335i e92 M-Sport in Lemans Blue. I've come from driving e30, e36, and e46 and let's just say there's a reason I stuck with the n54 platform. They take to mods so well it's hard not to want to drive anything else. They come with higher costs of maintenance but when they work they work. I did a full engine reseal and replaced all of the known issues and am comfortably sitting at 450whp on 93 and it's a joy to drive. If you do your work yourself I would highly recommend one but if you take your car to a shop beware it'll cost you.

if you get a E9x make sure you buy a crank seal guard these tend to suck up the serpentine belt and also replace the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket

[@bradcomis1066]

The S65 is such a sick engine. Amazing. I'd love to have one. E90 sedan manual with S65 would be the ultimate daily. When you start to dig into the details of the S65 it is really interesting- it is a really advanced hardcore engine. The stock headers are so intricate and awesome.

[@basicsay2909]

oil filter housing gasket, and replace your serpentine belt. Even if it looks okay it could be brittle and dry from prior leaks. Mine snapped and I was blessed that my front main seal didn't get cooked.

[@jxkx4769]

ive been dailying a 08 e93 335i (was my garage queen) for the past 3-4 months and its made me want a 335xi for an actual daily and continue building this one. ive owned it for 2 1/2 years of rough driving and routine maintenance and have yet to have a major issue, these cars are amazing if you treat them right

[@NickRidgers]

One thing I don’t hear mentioned is it is the last generation of car that is mechanical but has just enough technology in addition to being hundreds of lbs lighter than modern cars. You can buy for $10k more or less, bolt ons and tune, you’re keeping up with modern sports cars for 1/4 the price. The torque is amazing every time. Give the car a proper diff, upgrade the turbo(s) so they can hold to redline even with casual fuel/tuning, and the family sedan will be transformed. (Suspension is a given but n54’s particularly lack in those two departments)

[@kodymcpadden5522]

@@andyzavala7286 lol well you're lucky then man. I think it's because the majority of 335s are heavily modified. And m3s are 10x more reliable then the 3 series counterparts.

We have an x5 35i from the same era. Make sure you change the electric water pump every 10 years or 60k miles. Just do it. It is really easy and takes like 10 min over a coolant swap. When you buy you want to ask the PO what fuel it takes and come off like premium is expensive. Do not buy something with a turbo people put 87 in.

[@098cpt]

Got a E91 with a N54 ST swap, on a 6mt twin disk, it's a blast, WHEN IT WORKS. - cheap - fast - easy to work on - a LOT of parts : new, used, aftermarket, mods, etc. - Forums and fb groups are VERY active - DME and other module ''unlocked'' so coding, tuning are insanely easy and cheap. - can be reliable with a N52 - N52 can make insane power for a N/A engine, on a budget. - So many options on those cars, that is very fun to retrofit. - auto, dtc or manual available - RWD or AWD available. AWD are so fun when you can play with xDELETE. so yeah I have ton of fun with my 600bhp wagon and can go camping with my kids and wife !

It’s just so easy to get something fun and reliable out of an N52. I had the choice between a 2010 wrx and a 2011 xdrive 328i, and I’ve been extremely happy with my E90 for the past 6 years of ownership. But I am surprised no one here is complaining about the lack of a dipstick though lol

[@Mossskaterhans]

[@maddoxbelue1839]

I daily my 2009 bmw 335i e90. If you’re questioning whether it’s worth it to buy this car despite the problems that come up, I’m telling you it’s 100% worth it. The driving experience in one of these cars is the best you can get for the price. If you are looking at getting one and it’s over around 90-100k miles, make sure the turbos have been replaced or else you’ll probably have to do it, and it’s not an easy job. Every gasket on the engine leaks. Most are easy to get to when you replace them, but the oil pan gasket is really hard to do. Most parts for these cars you can get for pretty cheap, and if you can work on the car yourself the money side of it isn’t that bad. I’ve owned my car for almost a year after owning a 2011 g37 coupe. It’s so much better despite the issues

[@schm3ez]

Great video! Very informative. Don’t forget about the 335is, exclusively produced in North America 11-13 and kitted with the N54, upgraded oil cooler, and index 12 injectors. Also, DCT offering. I picked one up a few months ago and courtesy of a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) got the leaky oil pan gasket and coolant reservoir done. Maintenance is key with this timeless platform. Check this box, and you’ll have a ton of fun.

[@gmb7495]

Here in Europe we even got little 4 cylinder diesel and gasoline variants of the E90. I love it how much you rate the diesel and I agree the 6 cylinder is fantastic but over here the 4 cylinder diesels are the most common models. I have an E91 facelift 330 diesel manual which I believe could be the rarest non M spec from this generation. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

[@goodnaruk]

BMW evolution as an enthusiast, explained. 1) each generation is fairly drastically different, the lineage isnt nearly as strong as porsche between generations. Because of this, each car is drastically different, so much so, that it takes a while before you start to notice the similarities and the "m3 DNA" actually starts bleeding through. E30-E36 (lets use the euro for this example) heavier, larger, far less "because racecar DTM", but also nearly 300 hp from a ITB inline 6, and an absolutely confident but playful chassis. Lets also remember the e36 interior is abysmal in quality and the stupid steering column doesn't adjust at all. E46 in the USA was drastic, 100hp gain, weight, different sheet metal than the base, and a modern ish feeling wider chassis which loses the "rails" feeling and instead gains a good amount of torsional rigidity diagonally making it feel less playful at a lower threshold like the e36, but ultimately more capable. E9x, V8 in the m3, way heavier, and the n54 turbo cars are beating the v8 in straight line speed for far less than the sticker price difference between the two, and they failed to address the rod bearing issue which was already plaguing s54 and s85. F8x, DUMB THEY CHANGED THE COUPE TO SOME MADE UP M4 NONSENSE, ELECTRIC STEERING IS THE DEVIL etc, but lighter, incredibly fast, class leading interior, and weight fell from e9x. and now the G8x are super heavy, ridiculously fast, and numb and still in my opinion look terrible aside from the m2 but no car that small should be 3800lbs. BUT... once you get past all of that, and you live with each one for a while, the M3 dna comes through, you start to notice it hiding in areas, a connection to different points in its past, and thats the point where you come to terms with the things that are different arent necessarily bad and you realize the things you like about an M3 are still there, but they need time to shine through, because lets face it, german cars are rarely known for their "soul". Its also important to realize that what you think makes an m3, isnt what makes an m3, because those things are all drastically different across generations yet some how, still have a feeling of being similar and related.

I think the E92 M3 really kicked off the luxury performance arms race between the Germans and Japanese brands.

[@friguy4444]

5:57 Well the truth of it is that before the N54 Twin Turbo engines cars there were NO CARS every day drivers could even dream of actually modifying. It cost far far too much and you had to be an ultra enthusiast to really have and daily drive a big power nice car. Or you had to have very deep pockets! The N54 changed all of that and I don't really know if any car before that that you could just do a tune on and gain 100hp and tq instantly which would then drive like a luxury car as well!

To me, the E92 is the best looking 3-Series out there. Doesn’t even need to be an M3. M-Sport package bumpers on it and it’s gtg!!

Got an 2012 e90 320D last year December her in South-Africa. Was looking for 330D/335d but as he said they don't sell those adn if they do its got a high tag, higher then me and I'm a stoner.. anyway I love the car as went from an 2007 Subaru 2.0R to this and well.. I think Ill keep this one.

U loved enjoying a E60 535i. One of the most reliable bmw's that I ever owend.

Alex, can you talk about the Kia Stinger?

[@maxmouse3]

I like the E92 a lot, what I really don't like is the iDrive. But otherwise I really like it and I dig the looks as well.

Everyone always says “stay on top of your maintenance and you’ll be fine” that’s a fucking lie. Here’s the thing, I absolutely adore my E92 335i, I love the looks, the performance, and the features, but what people don’t realize is that the common problems N54’s have are exactly that COMMON PROBLEMS. You gotta understand these cars are delicate and problematic, you won’t just be dealing with constant engine problems, you’ll be dealing with electrical issues, steering issues, fuel issues, seal issues, headlight problems, ECU problems, Exhaust issues, the list goes on. Sometimes I can’t even enjoy driving my car because I’m worried about what’s broken or going to brake. The thing is even with “preventative maintenance” you’ll still face constant issues that you didn’t expect or know about, and unless you’re someone who knows how to work on a car or have the luck of having a good nearby mechanic then you’ll be spending more than double what you did on the car in maintenance alone. The E9X generation is amazing, I think it’s better than the E46, there is so much to love but the truth they are just not worth it, one of my dream cars is an E92 M3 because I just love the chassis/generation so much, but I can’t even begin to imagine the issues with that car. Right now I just want to move on to a 440i because the thing about BMW’s is once you get into them you never want anything else 😂 also they no longer make 2-door 3 series 😔

Unpopular opinion I guess. I like the pre LCI E92 a lot more than the LCI variant. They completely changed the look, and I much prefer the original one lol
