Honestly people always complain about catless cars smelling, personally I don’t notice it on my catless Mazdaspeed and on my friends cars that are catless the same for them. I will say I smell more gas but I also have an upgraded fuel pump but tbh I like the smell of gas so it doesn’t bother me

[@dude4548]

Add a catted dp and you wont have that smell. Or not nearly as much and regardless of what ppl say its not that much hp loss.

[@blacklexus3965]

Life of Ricky do the down pipes give exhaust smell inside the cabin when driving?

[@TheCitrusHD]

I’m kind of surprised with the gas milage. My friend used to have a n54 335 and was getting like 14-15mpg but just got a 2012 n55 e92 335i and is on normal stage 2 right now with some burbles as well, currently getting around 29mpg even when he pushes it. He also calculated it off of how many miles and stuff he drove rather than just looking at the number it shows you. He was well over 400 miles on his last tank

[@drivenbyricky4651]

Wow!! That’s crazy! I got 20.2 I just checked!

[@TheCitrusHD]

Life of Ricky dang, I actually might be borrowing it some this upcoming week since he’ll be on vacation. I’ll have to calculate it while pushing it quite a bit lol

[@TwickShawt]

Looking good as per usual. Hell yeah dude!

Thank you bro!!!!

[@kenthodge4173]

Awesome vibro. I love my 335i full bolt-on with the jb4 tune. It definitely made driving the car more enjoyable. Suspension upgrades next....

[@joshhdtx]

How do you deal with full bolt-ons and SMOG? I don't have to worry for another 2 years, but I just moved to CA and bought a 335i, and all this SMOG talk is overwhelming. Is it really something to worry about?

[@drivenbyricky4651]

Dom my car have been super reliable, only thing is the abs 1 time both the hydralic unit snd the ecu box for the abs😅 i would take a 335i all day, 350z is kinda badass but slow cuz of the NA engine but if u can put a turbo on that thing it will work too hehe😁

The gas in some states is made to burn lighter so it doesn't pollute the air, which is why it's more expensive.

[@Eliasccv14]

Hey brotha, just got an n54 335i and I heard in the video you live by the 101? That’s pretty sick. I’m in hollister if you know where that’s at. I guess I don’t really know where you’re at, but it looks similar

[@drivenbyricky4651]

[@Eliasccv14]

Nice! And since the comment I’ve gone FBO with silicone inlets and upgraded outlets. Now pushing just under 400 horsepower 🤙🏽

[@marniionmee2140]

Sick video man

[@singh123416]

How much of a difference does it feel from stock to 400hp? I was just asking because some engines you barely feel a little difference.

[@drivenbyricky4651]

You will feel a difference!!!!!!

[@jaybanks6194]

Big difference from stock I have downpipes and intake and custom tune around 400whp

[@Xtremecarfan10188]

Having driven one stock and having my current one at 414whp 448wtq. You will feel it. I know what you mean, some cars gain horsepower but you can’t feel it, that’s because they sometimes don’t gain as much torque. These N54’s with Twins end up having an insane amount of head snapping torque and early in the powerband. The difference between stock and tuned feels like you are driving a whole different car. I am getting upgraded twins too soon cause my turbos are going out.

[@yungbrowng5480]

Yo bro have a salvage title 2007 525, it’s catless straight pipe wondering what mods should I get? Should I get it tuned 3.0 v6 just wondering what I should do to it brotha sold 10 cars this year made the mistake of getting a 525

[@oabdellatif]

Aren't bolt-ons supposed to increase your gas milage?

[@drivenbyricky4651]

No not necessary, when you push more more then gas mileage goes down

[@elijahcomer1636]

93 Octane in Germany is bout $8 a gallon 🙂

[@drivenbyricky4651]

Damn!!

[@cbrobinson10]

It is definitely NOT loud with just the catless DP if you still have stock exhaust. With the muffler delete you had of course it will be loud LOL

[@Fishingwiththefoo]

So Bassically I needa upgrade chargepipe,hoses,radiator, intercooler and during it the LPFP as well with the maintenance beforehand with new coils and hoepfully already having index 12 injectors and doing each gasket with waterpump and new thermostat I would say right? Then full exhuast single if I can and all the other kids on top?

[@parth516]

correct me if im wrong but arent the lci 335's equipped with n55 engines? i also heard n55's arent that tuneable but are more reliable is that true?

[@drivenbyricky4651]

There are LCI n54’s as well but you are correct the n55 isn’t as tunable but it’s still pretty tunable

[@Areku06]

I kept my secondary cats and u get zero of the smell issues......I’ve had multiple gutted supras and rx7s ect this is nothing for smell issues in comparisons .....u got leaks on o2 sensors? Or other leaks? Cause please I see none of these smell probs on same 40/60e85 , what I do experience the E 85 really really changed my sound it went full aggressive rev roar type noises similar to my Mikva supra......sorry guys nothing can ever ever compete with a supra single externally gated for sound sorry I don’t wanna hear anyone’s opinions I’m telling u straight up total bias , BMW does have lots of better qualities like almost zero lag ect lag way easier bpu supra term or FBO tunability though I love them both but I’m comparing cars in different leagues and these n54,n55 cars are massive bang for buck and look almost sleeper to a lot of cars around Australia cause BMW have very subtle style changes so those not familiar u can really surprise an unexpected car that thought it was fast 👍
