Elvis has some dope skills. I love that he can pretty much do and make anything for the car builds.

[@kevdimo6459]

He’s also got lots of mates to call on for the use of their machinery. I liked Ed the best but Elvis is better than Ant!

[@brettwilliams5594]

@@kevdimo6459 He never flared that box out though. Maybe he did it off camera.

[@Jnilsson27]

Takes me back. Had a 2008 Le Mans blue 335i M-Touring but got pushed off the road by a lorry/truck and it unfortunately got scrapped. Loved that car!

[@CoreRye]

Coilover's and big brake kit would be nice so it turns and stops as well as it will go with 400lb/ft.

[@MartiniPinball]

Elvis has some awesome skill, knocking out an custom exhaust on your own like that is very impressive...

[@uthmaanpacsa7259]

Elvis BMW M job made me all shook up!

[@trickyfocus]

Ah-ha

[@whatdidusay99]

Elvis is by far the best addition to the Wheeler dealer franchise

[@anessalihovic2595]

What about headlights.. they look a bit blur and without the xenons really not good

[@warrenb9343]

Beautiful job Elvis! Love the color. Wish we had a 335i estate in the US. I had an E92 335i xDrive. Chipped and tuned with high-flow intakes. Love that car!

[@ceirwan]

Great skills. But you left in the most restrictive part, the header cats.

[@vindyfernando8351]

Looks gorgeous !!!

[@sreckovicdejan]

Dear Good what You guys made :-) Awesome BMW.

[@stuartkennedy4570]

You didn’t list the cost for the tune. You don’t get an extra 100 bhp with a new exhaust and cooler

[@MrBMW83]

This wagons look stunning

[@Titot182]

I'm guessing the injectors and high pressure fuel pump on this thing was still in good nick? Very tempted to make an M-lite E91 but was always apprehensive about the engine's ancilliaries

[@mrnordyk1125]

Nice BMW 3gen slill looks good🤘

[@arjunmatharoo1894]

doing downpipes makes a huge difference on the n54

[@JamesMonty]

With regards to the exhaust being larger diameter, yes flow is increased and top BHP, but is there not a sweet point so you don’t lose back pressure and low down torque?

[@llkjjjss]

The sweet point on a turbo car is no back pressure

[@fatman6757]

You make me smile❤

[@Dutch79]

With the wrong headlights/kidney grille it always looks weird. A M3 is almost completely different from a non-M, but at least it has somewhat of a M3-look.

[@jrbuch]

I appreciate that you made a really nice exhaust, but I suspect there's quite large gains in fitting aftermarket downpipes. At least in my experience with JZ engines, the stock cast downpipe/dump pipes are huge restrictions. You're better off spending money there, rather than making sure your exhaust is mandrel bent.

[@shona5512]

Don't forget that this show is broadcast on TV. So while I'm sure Elvis knows that they could get more gains out of a Downpipe & Decat, the production company won't actually allow them to install them because they're not really seen as "legal" for MOT inspection. Obviously, there are aftermarket applications available for road use, but they'd rather just use the stock ones so that people don't think they're promoting something that isn't by-the-book.

[@llkjjjss]

​@@shona5512they have highflow cats

[@yassdz5512]

Perfect💪💪

[@andybrooks7908]

Should have de catted it

[@ryanhartshorne1100]

Yeah cos a 3.0 straight 6 turbo sounds like a 4.4 V8 turbo doesn't it.

[@user-kj5tk2yc6t]

Is there a new series back on??

[@Goggleboxdreams]

Nice

[@georgeplatis]

NIce mods, it needs angel eye head lights tho.

[@flemming_j_]

Nope, that was 10 years ago, and when it is your first car 🤣

[@a1d3nh0]

“Unrestricted flow from the engine to the tailpipe” but leaves the cats in. You should have put sports cats in

[@meady200]

Without a retune it ain't gonna do much anyway. Out of the scope of the programme though, I guess

[@pigeonpoo1823]

1st time ive seen the episode, what a car, mind blowing result, the welding, mike on his favourite machine, the shot blaster, and that vinyl wrap spray was amazing. Well done Wheeler Dealers.

[@cupidstunt22]

M badges on the wheels would be good

[@MrDitlind]

Lets make this sound and perform like an m3. : leaves the factory cats on🙈

[@ivanjovanovic362]

Great, with that stance you now have an SUV

[@1995RangeRover]

Nice! She's still going to break miserably...

[@jeffr5053]

What's the purpose of an intercooler??

[@leenevin8451]

It’s a radiator that cools the air/boost into the engine. When the turbo sucks in air it compresses it which heats it up. Engines don’t like hot air, makes less power

[@jeffr5053]

[@thebi0hazard]

Suspension and breaks ?! 🤣

[@dukeallen432]

Minimal if any HP increase with exhaust. Leave mechanics alone. Make it reliable.

[@BandiMasha]

Should have D-Catd it. Cats reduce overall BHP

[@Rookiereece]

still handles like a e91 318i msport

[@rowzyG]

318 would handle even better lol, lighter front end = better turn in

[@MikeL-FL]

How do you "upgrade" an N54 335i without doing downpipes and a tune? You left close to 100hp on the table for under a grand.

[@thebi0hazard]

👍

[@BanjoLuke1]

I confess I am unfamiliar with the paint system they used... but it was odd that once it was done, there were no shots of the doors, boot or bonnet being opened. I have a feeling that there would have been a lot of grey in there... I'm not sure this show ever quite recovered from the China/Brewer divorce.

[@thomskateman25]

How do you buy that car for 4000 and something? In Spain is so much expensive

[@hectorheath9742]

I'm wondering why his tow truck steering wheel bolts' tails aren't trimmed off to suit the nuts.

[@mahmoudmaged1981]

We are in 2023, and the normal e9x generation came out in late 2005 and the M3 later, how come Mike wanted one 20 years ago?! 🤔

[@kristianspencer1978]

He was thinking about an E46 M3 ..?

how many times do they say we are going to build the BMW that BMW never made ? [ answers on a post card ]

"After mapping the engine, adding free flow air filters and new wheels" then we have intercooler, lsd, exhaust. Is there something wrong with me or they forgot about something.

[@walker8476]

He may of worked in F1 but Ant is the better mechanic

[@JW0389]

The M3 had a different front. 😃

[@Alan-hw3jg]

certainly won’t be driving like an m3 with that fitment

[@HellhoundX90]

Why make it look like an M3? The 335i is an awesome car on its own merit. Let it be a 335 😋

[@rk22cc]

Do what makes you happy!

[@startingtech3900]

its a fun video for content chill brah you clicked as well lol

[@williamstockman9867]

Why would you change 666 competition allows 2 csls

[@leccybadger]

Not come across any zorst that adds more than 20bhp, let alone 100bhp 🤔

[@chriserz94]

stage one remap alone adds about 50-60 bhp or so, these cars only run 8 PSI stock, turning that up to 12-14 alone gives you quite a bump in performance.

[@spotbimmer7224]

Do some research on the N54 engine that’s inside this BMW.

[@adriandomnita9048]

Xenon with angel eyes are missing.

[@oomz1975]

Such a shame a car enthusiast channel as big as this has been so silent regarding the Ulez expansion.

[@kr63]

Yeah these guys are pretty underrated.

[@Xantiiiii1]

Nice work but doesn't look anything like an M3. The rear is quite nice, however no widened arches, no M3 bonnet bulge or side skirts, the front bumper is just wrong proportions, the e90 M3 saloon also had the e92 coupe front lights and grill that made the M3 look good. This is just a long way off for what I expect from a car enthusiast tbh
