Matt reviews an early BMW 335i with an ECU tune and a bunch of suspension modifications. Even at six years old, how does the 335i hold up?

I wish there were more car owners like this guy around. Like Matt said, it seems like when everybody modifies their car, they get (in this order) huge heavy wheels with the cheapest tire available, coilovers to slam the car to the ground and adjust the dampers as stiff as possible (because discomfort=performance), and finally as many bolt ons for the engine as possible, without regard to any supporting mods. This dude actually drives his car as opposed to just going to meets at sonic and roll racing on the hwy.

Now how about +150hp/200tq sedan with a baby seat, or a 507rwhp/540tq convertible versions. Or even compare them to some v8 m3, and the SC'd versions! It's been a HUGE rivalry since 2008!

Great video. I can agree to many of his points first-hand, I have a 2008 BMW 535i with the same N54 engine and JB4/Intake mods but I also added a BOV/charge pipes and full straight pipes, definitely gives it that extra little edge and amazing sound. Most people do not expect these mods on a 5-series sedan, but it makes for a much better daily driver and the weight difference is actually very minimal from the 335i.

Third gear is special in this car. My E90 335 is tuned running the Cobb AP Stage 1+ Aggressive with Intercooler map blowing its sound out the BMW PE Exhaust. It will peak boost around 18-20 psi and damn, this car moves. I don't know if its my car specifically, but around 4400 RPM, it has this extra kick in the pants acceleration. Almost sounds like my tune is blowing a shot of air or fuel to make it burn hotter for a split second. It just sounds so amazing too. I get that roar of the PE exhaust, and the whistle of the turbo, and then this extra BBRRAAAAAAAAAAA BOOM as it kicks in 4400 PRM to 6000 RPM. What an awesome car to drive. Best part is that I can smoke most any sports car on the street but it just looks like a normal black 3 Series with tints. Very unassuming.

I've owned an e92 330D for about a year. It's no 335i, that's for sure ... but it was a great car none the less. M-sport suspension, sattel braun interior with black headliner (just part of the M-sport package). I loved it. IMHO, it looks better than the new 4 series, but that's just IMHO.

IMO the biggest issue with the 335i is the open diff from the factory. If you stick to factory power and put on better tires it will be fine on dry pavement. Once you tune it or start driving in rain/snow that open diff becomes noticeable rather quickly. In terms of reliability they have a history of issues which have been (mostly) resolved in later models and newer part revisions. My 09 has 85k km's and it has only needed regular maintenance until now so I really can't complain. I can't wait until the weather gets nicer so I can fit a LSD and really put power down with it!

If I was to track my 335i regularly I would go with the Giken unit at ~2,100$. But since I intend to track something else I'll settle on the Quaife or Wavetrack units which are around 1,200$ each. It really comes down to which one I can get to Canada the easiest without having to pay all sorts of taxes and whatnot.

That car's almost too fast for its chassis. The n54 is violent in the way it makes big tourque. It feels just like a big chevy v8, but faster since it revs faster. Pretty wild imo. And that e92 is a tiny car that feels like an Accord inside, not really the same as something like a Camaro chassis that feels designed for big tourque. This makes it feel like the 335i is constantly on the brink of disaster where a nice Camaro 1le would feel planted and ready for more.

While i was there, it wasn't uncommon to see 200K+ miles on a car ... just not on a sports car. When i was in AZ (where cars don't rust), i saw many old trucks with a LOT of miles on them. And let's face it ... 200K+ miles on a sports car won't be common in Denmark either. It certainly isn't common here. I have a speedster with 60K miles on it, and and that is considered to be a lot for that type of car here (Belgium), but it would not be a lot of miles for a commuter car. 200K+ miles is a lot, even for a diesel commuter car. I've owned a nissan patrol with 500K+ kms on the clock. Sure, it still ran, but i wouldn't exactly say it was "normal" to drive that.

I don't ever recommend all season tires for anywhere that it snows. In the rain all-seasons are fine, but in the snow, you need a snow tire.

TheSmokingTire Ya, I second Matt on this, my car on all seasons in the snow might as well be driving on a frozen lake. Awful.

imho if you have snows on a bmw. You will hate it. They are too squishing and you will feel that your car is slopping off its axis.

Been waiting for Matt to review a n54...!
@Xbox360Player3509 жыл бұрын
Awesome review. I'd love to see Matt review a G35/G37S and see how it stacks up to one of these. I currently have a G35 coupe and have had my eye on either a 335i or 135i for a while now

i have owned a g37s. It feels very slow compared to the bmw.
@ozqalex939 жыл бұрын
I own a 535i N54 with full bolt ons, and I've driven both G35/G37s, and they just don't compare to the N54 engine, I've even raced a Stillen supercharged G35 and still won.

Alex Nestertsov agree. Somehow they started getting compared to one another .
@Xbox360Player3509 жыл бұрын
yes sir Oh I know haha. I wouldn't dare try a 35i if we happened to be on a closed course in Mexico. I was more so referring to the driving dynamics and which one is more fun to drive. I think BMW started leaning more towards refinement with the E90 and later generations whereas Infinitis are a little more raw in comparison.
@i_read_bad_reviews9 жыл бұрын
As far as driving dynamics and fun to drive ... I still say bmw . full torque at 1400 to 5000 rpm vs Infiniti at red line. So normal city driving the n54 feels like it just wants to taketake off. Infiniti thousands of dollars in the vq and maybe 20 hp more . while jb4 in the bmw you get like 80hp. Only fail on bmw part is no lsd. Check my video of going to trade my Infiniti in. And don't make the same mistake I did.. Just get the bimmer from the start..

TheSmokingTire With the JB4 on the 335i you are looking at 400ish HP & TQ without an exhaust & FMIC. This car is close to a Dinan 1M.

Also the 335i N54 is plagued with HPFP issues, carbon build up & turbo wastegate issues. The HPFP is under warranty for 120k miles & turbos for 80k miles. The carbon issue can be fixed with a "walnut blast" every 40k miles for $250ish. For anyone wondering about the 335i.

No good aftermarket shifters for BMWs? I have a UUC Evo3 with DSSR on my e46, and it is the shit. Notchy, that's for sure, but it's very precise and really fun to run. I'd agree that without an aftermarket shift rod though, putting an aftermarket shifter does nothing; the shift rod's design just makes everything more sloppy, not matter how short.

Currently have the same car in the same color but it's got 110k on it. I would love to modify it like this guy has but I just don't see the point in putting money into something I probably won't have much longer. Great car though, this one looks just about perfect modification-wise.

If you love the car and put money in it, you might keep it forever. If you don't love it, don't put money in it.
