[@efthimios]

Love your video as a 2011 n55 owner. Didn’t do dlwnpipe yet very clean nice

[@e92alan]

Appreciate it! Down pipe is a game changer 😈

[@alant1937]

cleanest 335i 🔥

[@e92alan]

Alan T means a lot 🙏🏼

[@schof1014]

I like your car bud, I'm an N54 guy

[@schof1014]

Deff cop a catch can immediately

[@schof1014]

The Body work on this car is beautiful cheers to you and your Pops bud

[@schof1014]

And your absolutely right about Burbles "overrun" is not good for that Turbo. Check out CES.motorsports.com grabb a Borg or pression F Garrett 1 thousand times and definitely get some Meth injection in this babe. BMS is way better then snow in my experience.

[@e92alan]

I appreciate the kind words and advice! The catch can is definitely one of my next mods coming up shortly.

[@SBMEAZYBABY]

🔥 I'm boutta build up 335 e93 n55. Hardly NOOO vids for e9x 335 n55 only f30 335 n55 🤯... Good content.. its needed for us e9X n55 guys.. I'm doin a build on mine, its gon be up here soon..

[@YesHim1]

that’s so hard. I have this same car in black. Just got some BC coilovers. Hopefully I can be FBO soon by 2021

[@e92alan]

Toxic Shotsss Thats sick dude! 100% worth the money!

[@mrozconnor]

I like the whip man. I have a e90 with a similar setup but no intake or coilovers (yet). Was wondering where you think your power numbers would be?

[@e92alan]

Connor Mroz thanks dude! Hard to say without an actual Dyno but MHD rated N55 on Stage 2+ to be anywhere in the low 400’s or so I’m sure with E30 mix it’ll go up a bit as well. I’ve had the car before and after downpipes/tune and the power increase is substantial. Also the Apex are extremely light weight wheels compared to my old VMR’s. 👍🏼

[@jrelyea]

Beautiful car. I have the same car (same color) with x-drive and a lot of the same mods, currently MHD Stage 1+. Once my Quickjack arrives I will be doing VRSF downpipes and will be FBO and go to Stage 2+. Can't wait.

[@e92alan]

The down pipes are a game changer! 😈

[@reid6663]

how much hp?

[@adritoiordanov5156]

Hey Joe! Could you plase share if you have done the stage 2+ already with the downpipe and intercooler. and maybe some stats about the car like HP and 100-200 KM/h times? Would be much appreciated.

[@jrelyea]

@@adritoiordanov5156 Hi, yes. I have installed the VRSF downpipes as well as many other upgrades. I ended up replacing all of the stock plastic pipes for the air intake system. My mods: VRSF 5 inch intercooler, VRSF Charge Pipe, VRSF catless downpipes, VRSF turbo inlet and outlet, HPS Shortram Air Intake Kit. I have MHD Stage 2+ and xHP Stage 1. I have not put the car on a dyno, but it runs a lot better than it did before, better than when it was new. So I don't know what HP I'm making but the car runs great and it is very fast.

[@AnthonyGonzalez-zy5zm]

When you replaced the down pipes for the AWD version, did you just drop the subframe a bit?

[@thomasdriggers8241]

Don’t forget to get that catch can ASAP..

[@e92alan]

Currently on the way 👋🏼

[@christiancreatedit9486]

Bro thats dope i have one e93 the funnest car frfr keep up the work bro

Christian CreatedIT Drop top! Haha thanks bro! 🙏🏼

[@rickyl9939]

Thanks for sharing!:) I have a same 335i just like yours.Last night i put the MHD stage 1+ in my car and it didn't perform as well as i expected.I'm thinking about can i use stage 2 with stock DPs?

[@e92alan]

Nice! I highly recommend you upgrade your stock DP’s to after market performance downpipes catted/non. The difference is noticeable especially with a tune. Also important to have a FMIC if you haven’t so already. Any questions dm me on ig, glad to help

[@nswiss19751]

Very tasteful nicely done!

[@e92alan]

Nathan Swisshelm thanks dude!

[@AmitAchari-nz4cw]

As an N55 owner you gotta push the car if you want it to not mess up

[@JoeyTroesken]

??

[@ignacioherrera3592]

Hey man love the car setup🤙🏼also what are your thoughts on those stage 2 ebay turbos for the N55? I think they are called “KINUGAWA”

[@ignacioherrera3592]

I have the same car but its been collecting dust for over a year in my garage since it over heats i changed the water pump the thermostat and the cooling lines but it over heats almost as if the water pump doesn’t get any power. When doing the waterpump test you do in BMWs the coolant does not cycle telling me the pump is running

[@adlxr]

plz make more vids ur car is like perfect

[@theflea9]

Have you had any weird hesitations throughout you owning your e92? I’m at 71k miles and I’m starting to get random stuttering if I try to pass others on the freeway. I’d say it happens going from 3rd to 4th gear. No codes whatsoever...but you can hear and feel a clunking noise from the front.

[@e92alan]

Hmm, I haven’t but maybe could be your HPFP going out? I know the stuttering is a symptom but could be a spark plug or coil packs. DM me on ig maybe I can ask for ya’

[@Coachmedina61]

I had that issue, replaced the idle pulley and fixed it

[@j_tudioz5332]

What are the wheel and tire specs super clean

[@e92alan]

Thanks! Wheels are 9/9.5 on 245/265 Hankook’s Evo 2’s!

[@derekfriedrichs]

Got a 2011 E90 N55. But don’t have that bumper. Where did you get the bumper. I like the splitter but it doesn’t look like it would fit

[@e92alan]

Sweet, correct the lip wouldn’t fit because it’s only made for E92 bumpers.

[@alant1937]

we need that start up tho

[@alvis6596]

Hi. What's a wheel size?

[@airsoftguy678]

When you did the muffler delete did you cut out the exhaust valve and plug the line? If not what did you do with the exhaust valve

[@e92alan]

Garett Deltuvia I’m not too sure if there was a valve line. I took it to a muffler shop, they cut out the muffler and welded the new pipes along with my carbon fiber tips. 😕

[@S58PSHIFTING]

quick question, i don't know if you answer people but how reliable is your car? i just purchased an n55 myself and am about to MHD it stage 2

[@e92alan]

No issues, extremely reliable since purchase as long as you keep up with maintenance

[@S58PSHIFTING]

@@e92alan Maintenance like how, because i literally just purchased it, and the dealer didnt have enough gas in there for me to continue on checking it and i did take it to a mechanic and told me to stay away from it, but im confident on my beliefs and reliability and trust my judgment on cars but this one slipped by me, my issue was the handling called the dealer they said they would fix it, then i went to shop right and the gas light went on as i didnt know how to check for gas in the first place, i took it to a gas station put 20 beans in it then it started sputtering and i saw some white fluid inside the hood and the car undrivable when before that i can run 13 second quarter miles all day... Im just so hurt and confused my brother, with the check engine on half way.

[@e92alan]

@@S58PSHIFTING Take it back and get your money if it’s not too late. Dealers are sneaky and will do just about anything to hide any mechanical issues just to get a sale. I suggest you take it to a trusted mechanic. It could be a simple coolant leak, or something else. I took care of the common issues such as water pump, thermostat, charge pipe, gaskets, and also spark plugs, coil packs, etc.

[@e92alan]

@@S58PSHIFTING also, if you are tuned these cars need the spark plugs/coil packs replaced sooner than most. Best of luck, I’ll be uploading a video next week going over these issues and sharing my own experiences.

[@heathbailey4149]

@@e92alan you generally get a more rough idle also once tuned as when you shrink the gap in the ngk plugs and go one step colder they idle crap but once you accelerate they are amazing

[@Jay-sz5dt]

Looking to buy same exact car as yours, is the car holding good? Any major issue? How many mile do you have it?

[@e92alan]

Haven’t had any issues with the car. I’ve done several preventative maintenance spark plugs, coil packs, entire brake set up, gaskets and the car feels great! 9x,xxxk miles!

[@Shmigzy]

Hm miles should a 335i have when looking for one,

[@e92alan]

Depends, if you’re keeping it long term or not. I got mine with 8x,xxx miles but all the common issues were replaced by the previous owner. Just make sure the previous owner have maintenance records.

[@KrumOner420]

did u have to unlock the dme for mhd tuning?

[@e92alan]

Yes you need too in order to run mhd

[@dustinmccarthy2265]

How’s your car been reliability wise? On stage 2+ , I’m on stage 1 lookin to go fbo and stage 2+ I’m just worried about reliability

[@e92alan]

I’ve had the car on Stage 2+ for 7 months or so and it’s been reliable. As long as you stay on top of maintenance spark plugs, coil packs and regular scheduled oil changes runs smoothly.

[@dustinmccarthy2265]

@@e92alan awesome man glad to hear thank you very much

[@mabobber7408]

Hey bro what do you guess the 0-60 is now? I know it’s not the end all be all but I just want to compare it to other cars.

[@e92alan]

Mabobber Hard to say, I haven’t launched the car but from a 40 roll to 80 it’s matter of seconds. The car is really quick once on FBO’s, hard not to spin and loose traction. Haha N54’s have more torque for sure.

[@elprinsipe5639YoOoOo]

Why so many people have the automatic? Is it better in any way or just preference?

[@e92alan]

Just a preference, I wish I had a manual but auto was what was available when I found this

[@cruzpartida3758]

Do these n55 engines like power like the n54 does ?

[@e92alan]

N55’s are more reliable than N54’s when it comes to power imo but N54’s can make a stupid amount of power on stock block with only basic FBO’s. Also comes down maintenance that plays a huge role on maintaining a consistent power band.

[@cruzpartida3758]

@@e92alan what’s the safe amount of power an n55 can hold? I own a 2017 wrx rn making around 400whp but the stock rods & transmission hold me back.

[@e92alan]

@@cruzpartida3758I’m running stock turbo on pump pushing 4xx’s and power is consistent . Once you upgrade your fueling system with E85 you’re in the 450’s or so with a proper tune. I was recommended to upgrade the N55’s rod bearings if you upgrade to Pure Turbo with push 500-536’s. I’m more than happy with the power I have now, and haven’t had any issues. Can still gap 370, STI, easily and keep up with 5.0’s lmao
