Here is why the BMW E90 330i NA is the most wanted + Gain 70HP

[@BronxBull1922]

They are a joy to drive if you don’t beat them up. The B30 is a very happy engine at high rpms (Highway Merging). Change the variable valve timing solenoids when you buy a used one, do an oil change (don’t go cheap), balance your tires, and always keep that premium fuel. You’ll get 10’s of 1,000’s of miles out of them.

They really are nice cars, I made a video on the reliability as well. If you aren't already a subscriber, consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel.

I have owned one from new - now over 17 years old, but I also have a great mechanic who will do an annual service for less than US$300. It has always been a perfect daily driver. BTW my other car is a Ferrari F599 - N/A V12 - enough said.

I have owned a 2009 330i LCI sedan for 13 years and in this time I have had to replace: cylinder head cover and oil pan gaskets due to oil leaks 6 ignition coils, 12 ignition plugs, 9 fuel injectors, 1 NOx sensor due to engine misbehaving during idle or acceleration 2 new springs at front, all 4 shock absorbers due to one spring at front breaking 1 new battery due to original battery losing power. Original battery lasted from 2009 to 2024. Changing all 6 injectors cost 4100 euros. 1 NOx sensor cost 670 euros.

[@dronevlog6687]

I have owned the 330i for about 10 years only major issues I had was the water pump BMW wanted 1k to replace.it’s a joy to drive still very nippy. Bit juicy in town but on the motorway you get miles to the gallon ❤

[@DocMackGarage]

These really are awesome cars. Yup to do water pump and thermostat in New Zealand is approx $2500 at the dealership and these are not belt driven. Please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already.

I have one and it’s lovely to drive , How many hp can I get with stage 1 ? I heard…that you get only 20hp?

That is great. Please remember to subscribe, depends on the tune.

hey man would you happen to know why my coolant temp is stuck at 80 degrees C ? No codes present. This problem has rattled my head for a long time, no obvious solutions. Only get over 95 on the highway.

[@DocMackGarage]

Hey man, I would probably say a stuck open thermostat. Need more details like model year and mileage. Also please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already.

​@TheDocMackCarChannel yep its the thermostat. Had 2 genuine BMW thermostats fail the same way on my n52 330i.

[@bobaphat3676]

@@bigmoosem5237 did you have codes?

[@bigmoosem5237]

No check engine light but I had a code. Cant recall the code the first time I replaced the thermostat but the second time was 002EFE (MAP- controlled thermostat mechanics). MPG improved after replacing the thermostat. @@bobaphat3676

Is this a good fitst car? thinking of buying one as a 17 Year old!!🎉

[@DocMackGarage]

@Mahoraga-ii8gm Hi, I would say it is a very good car, but you have to have some money saved up for repairs if you are not mechanically inclined. I always tell people have about 1.5k to 2k reday for maintenance . I have a dedicated video on reliability. Please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already

[@shadevelt]

i really want this car is this worth getting used? does it have navi?

[@DocMackGarage]

It is really a nice car . It does have navigation but mine is imported from Japan so has Japanese navigation . There are a few known issues but overall solid car

[@blooz7134]

I have this exact model. Bought it used with 70k miles. I love it so far. It's pretty responsive and kinda fast. I catch myself doing 90 Easley if I don't pay attention on the fwy. Plus it's really easy to maintain. At least so far it has been. Changing the oil is so easy. I don't think you can go wrong.

Do you recommend buying from car dealership or trademe ? I am planning to buy a subaru legacy

[@DocMackGarage]

Hey, each comes with it's own pros and cons. If you get it from a dealership you will pay more but there would likely be consumer guarantees act whereas if you buy it from a private party it would be cheaper but more of an as is where is.

[@adnanmoazzem4146]

@@DocMackGarage some of my friends told apparently worldwide there is shortage of semiconductors, which is why car prices is high, is it true ? If so do u think is it a good time to buy a car or should i wait for the crisis of semiconductors to end. Also whats your take on subaru legacys engine ? Budget is around 10K , only reason i am opting for subaru since i heard its a good family car. Do you hAve any other car in mind that you think would be a better option than subaru. Sorry for bombarding with so many questions but in my mind i know i will get the best advice :)

[@DocMackGarage]

@@adnanmoazzem4146 Hi Adnan, thanks for the comment 😊. There are a variety of reasons as to why car prices are high . Yes that semiconductor theory is also part of it. With the pandemic hitting there is too much demand with limited supply (in materials). They charge more per unit for a new car and drives up used car prices too . Last year rental companies sold off rental cars due to no demand for rentals and this pushed prices down, but now there is a demand for it and rental companies are facing a shortage of cars. This is now contributing to used car prices increasing . In regards to the timing of buying a car , I am unable to come to a conclusion , as a year or two ago not many people anticipated car prices to increase now , but at the same time I can't say if the car prices will drop again - but looking unlikely to. The way it looks the price of your current car might follow the same direction in price of your next purchase so possibly not much risk . Subaru are not bad cars , but regardless of brand each model has its issues. What year and power plant were you thinking ? Boxer Engine or non boxer ?

[@adnanmoazzem4146]

@@DocMackGarage first of all thank you so much for taking the time to explain. Really appreciate your hardwork. I am planning to buy the 2.5 litre boxer engine

[@DocMackGarage]

@@adnanmoazzem4146 You are most welcome. The boxer engines are not too bad , but might need to lookout for head gasket issues at later mileage . I have a video on how to check that. I am pretty sure they are flat 4 engines which means it is two pistons which are opposite to each other I.e 2 banks of cylinders and 2 cylinder heads .I am not sure which year you are after, but things like spark plug replacements etc are not as easy as Inline 4 cylinder but they are still good cars.

[@akeembrown5441]

How do you gained 70 hp?

[@elijahlindo]

330i comes with “stage 3” intake manifold 325/328 do not have that manifold. That’s how you gain 70hp
