I own a 335i and I will say, as far as just mods go, the 335i can make power for relatively cheap even on the N55. However, the maintenance will shoot you in the throat 💀

[@Quantumxbit]

😂facts I’ve had trouble with my n55 before even modding it, coolant line, down pipe,oil filter housing leaking,coolant reservoir, and oil cooler. However all should have been addressed by previous owner but was neglected.😅expensive game to play but is rewarding once kinks are worked out for sure 👍

[@scott8934]

I ended up going through about 8k in maintenance over 7 years. All in after mods it cost me 22k with visual mods to have over that time. Not too bad for what it was

Gutted and weighs 1K less then I do, also pushing similar horsepower as me., And I’ll tell you this then fiesta is insane. Bro gaps a g80 M3 and leaves me in the dust in 4th.
