The TRUTH about owning a TUNED BMW 335d (Owner's experience)

[@janetingespinal6459]

My diesel beast! 😍😍

[@xcofcd]

We just sold our 335d. It was tuned to around 380hp. Owned it for 5 years and drove around 100.000km. The only problems were a small oil line on the turbo and a electric pressure valve for the turbo. So unsceduled repairs in 5 years were under 200€...

[@worksmarter6418]

did you buy it new?

[@moneymachine9487]

A tuned 335d or 535d are very fast. They can stay with a gallardo or an r8 on a straight and leave many many sports cars behind. A stock type r isnt comparable lol.

[@markdavidcsoma6463]

I'm in the UK, 2008 335d , dpf delete , egr delete, swirl flap delete, large front mount intercooler ,3 inch straight to tail pipes ,stage 2 map on engine , stage 2 map on paddle gear box it makes an impressive 😀 392 bhp and 579 lbs m3 killer and a 170mph top speed beast

[@honey6446464]

If you thing the automatic gearbox is already good you should try the XHP tune for that. It completely changes the car ! Faster shifts and instant replay

[@FlyinGato]

really? How does one go about getting one of these tunes?

[@maboh]

honey6446464 hi mate, which stage xhp did you get?

[@honey6446464]

maboh i am using the stage 3 hybrid at the moment. Hybrid means in D the smooth shifts of stage 1 and in S and M the fastest, most aggressive one

[@maboh]

honey6446464 that's awesome best of all worlds! Did you have to purchase 3 different licences?

[@honey6446464]

maboh no just buy stage 3 and than you can choose if you want the normal or the hybrid

[@NiallJones1986]

I think once you've had a few diesels unless its a v8 or big turbo v6 nothing gives you the satisfaction the torque does out of a good diesel. Can't wait to get the my next 🤘

[@albaniansk8er]

Gato I completed the build on my 335d. First the inter-related items that were serviced all at once! -Decarbonizing the intake, Walnut blasting the head/valves while the intake manifold is off removing the swirl port flaps and replacing with blanking plates ultrasonic cleaning the intake manifold Was completed. -Removing restrictions/recirculation system and installing ÄÄRodriguez EGR delete race Pipe. -Custom turbo back Exhaust built for DPF Down pipe and SCR delete and a super Tune compatible of 350+ wheel horse power and 550+ wheel foot pounds of torque. -Replacing the vacuum lines with upgraded silicone lines. -Oem Thermostat replacement. -Oem Fuel Filter replacement. -Oem Engine Oil and Filter change. -Oem Air Filter replacement. -Oem Transmission filter and fluid exchange. -Engine coolant exchange. -Rear differential fluid exchange. -Power steering fluid exchange. Stock intercooler and intake. Car is an animal now. Governors increased to 199mph!!! It’s just nuts will go 60 to140mph in like a blink of an eye 💨 I love this car.

[@FjordTrotter]

where you located? I did the same to my 335D. Except with a larger intercooler and cold air intake. 405 hp, 660 ft-lbs of torque, outruns most 500hp sports cars. Yea, 140 mph comes up like nothing..... i think this will hit 190 mph until it runs out of steam.

[@mikewilliams4947]

Just bought my second 335d. Have it all taken apart to do a carbon cleaning. Last owner ran it with a cracked egr and melted the tstat, and lower radiator hose. DIRTY job but rather straightforward. Doing the valve cover, vacuum lines, and I'll have a freakin awesome car for the price of a shty econo box.

Good video Gato. I had my 335d tuned when it had about 20k miles, currently at about 60k miles. I recently removed the intake manifold to check up on carbon buildup, and I really had none. Every time I pump diesel I add some Diesel Kleen to the tank, I believe this is also what contributed to carbon build up prevention.

[@FlyinGato]

Once these turbos go, I'll go a hybrid turbo setup. Mine has been dynoed at 390 HP to the wheels, and 590 Ft Pounds of torque.

[@IanDarley]

The 335d was never available with a manual transmission as BMW didn't have a manual that would handle the torque of that motor that would fit within the space of the transmission tunnel. That was based on the standard output, a tuned motor with even more torque would present an even bigger problem. TBH, I think that the 335d is well suited to the auto.

[@fernandogadala-maria6749]

I just bought a 09 335d fully stock. As of recently i did some basic maintenance such as oil change, fuel filter, crank case breather, new door handle for passenger. But soon i want to fully delete it with a stage 1 tune set up. But the problem is I am from upstate NY and next year they might do smog testing. I may wait till next year to do a full delete. The emissions had recently been worked on before i bought the car, so it save me from a hassle for now. But next year im taking it to Kassel performance down in Pennsylvania.

Hey brother! thanks for the post. I was wondering if you had a list of your tunes. I really need your help. Just like you, i'm sick of the repairs. I just want the reliability without blowing the engine. I don't really know how to work on cars besides basic knowledge. I was just hoping to walk in a shop with a list of mods and get it done. Where do I start? Like you said, I don't want to ruin my car.

[@FlyinGato]

Hey bud, here is the company I used to tune the ECU. Unfortunately, Bohl Diesel doesn't do 335ds anymore, since the EPA is getting militant about things and all that. If you go to the site I'm about to link you, though, you'll see that BPC still does the tune. I got the Stage 2+, for RACE use only :)

[@aljoedeguzman6895]

[@CompCrasher86]

So. I stopped driving my 330i for the Civic Sport Hatchback, used the mileage as my excuse. But this gets as good or better mileage. So with this car in the stable, what drove you to buy the civic sport? I find myself missing the refinement of the 330.

[@FlyinGato]

to be honest, needed something for the winter days, drove the 335d through 2 NY winters on all seasons, I'm too old and wise to do that again, so I wanted a FWD car. My Prelude just wasn't up to the task of being a daily winter driver, so I went and got a hatch. Then, I wanted the ultimate hot hatch, and got the Type R lol

How does your 335d have paddle sifters? I have a 2011 bmw 335d sport and it does not have them.

[@FlyinGato]

+TeamUnfazed it was an option for sport 335ds, you can add them fairly quickly from what I understand

[@Teamunfazed-autos]

Does your 335d have a heated steering wheel? i was told that if the owner opted for paddle shifters that they would have to sacrifice steering wheel heaters. My 335d has been modified to produce 500 horse power and 600lb/ft so once i get the m3 suspension i will probably find a way to have both the paddle shifters and heated steering wheel.

[@FlyinGato]

no heated steering here, would love it! you using hybrid turbos? I want to get those suspension bits, but an LSD would probably be first.

[@Teamunfazed-autos]

the car has no emissions equipment i.e. dpf, egr, scr and a larger intercooler with stock turbos with optional meth injection. im skipping the lsd because id much rather tear up my tires than my transmission. The max for our transmission is about 800 newton meters (600lb-ft)

Hi Bimmer Owners: I currently own a 2000 BMW E39 540i"A" CDN, Build: 10/99...bought 5 years ago and it currently has 267,500 km's!! I like the HP/Torque, which is pretty much stock! I have done a lot of repairs, added parts, but there is still many things I would like to change/add, but I feel I am at my $$$ limit of how much I want to keep spending to keep it working well and roadworthy!! Plus, it is my "Daily Driver" (I own a 2002 Honda CBR1100xx Super Blackbird)...that is my "Speed demon"..lol!! My question is: should I make the leap into buying and owning a 2009 BMW 335d?? I have been watching some KZbin Vids and Reviews/Comments about the Car...Pro's & Con's, there seems to be more Pro's than Con's, but because of the crazy Emission Control Systems and the Expense of keeping it working properly is very $$$!! But, @flyingato and other Owners on here say there are some "Tuning" Mods that can alleviate some of the negative issues with this Car!! The Seller is asking $13,000 CDN and it has approx 235,700 km's (Is that a lot of Mileage)?? I hope some of you can provide some advice...;-) P.S.- I was also considering staying with the 5-Series, so I am also considering a 2010-2014 535d!!

[@FlyinGato]

335d is a much more reliable car than the 540i. I used to own an E39 540i 6 speed. If you take care of the mods on the 335d, it's a solid car.

[@PatrickHenry911]

Have you had it on the dyno with your current mods? Looking at an X5D with similar mods...claims to have around 675 torque but no dyno. Just an estimate. It's a heavier vehicle than the 335d, so wouldn't be as fast but want a bit more speed.

Not trying to be a prick or anything just wanted to point that out because a lot of people get them messed up.

[@FlyinGato]

It's a bit confusing for sure, and you're not being nasty about it 😁 from my research, The M sport 335d had different wheels and bumper than the Sport, and a few other visual bits. The sport and m sport, for the 335d at least, did come with different suspension bits as well as brake ducts out front. They also did come with different brakes (again, from my reading online and forums, I am open to being wrong though)

[@WoWgen123]

FlyinGato So I did some research and you have the sport package which does have the "Sport tuned suspension" No package in the 335D came with bigger brakes. 335D did not ever come in M sport which is all visual items that your car does not have. Like the aero and black headliner. If you look up parts for your car the shocks are different and if you look up brakes it doesn't ask or say excluding sport package.

I wouldn't trade mine for an M3 either, for sure, I think it's the best 3 series of this century! especially when tuned.

That doesn't include BMW replacing the DEF tank under warranty. #2 Injector (2X), Harmonic balancer, EGR tank, $650 for a battery and "programming", countless other items, all pretty much pollution related. If you can't afford to do the alphabet conversion, stay away. This thing will slow bleed you out. If you like to meet tow truck drivers and mechanics, just hit the road in one of these. It has never made a trip of over 200 miles without the CEL coming on. My mechanics text me every month if I haven't been towed in, to make sure that annuity is still paying off for them.

[@marlonmonteiro2830]

Do you have a video on all the parts you used to delete it? Or a list please

[@FlyinGato]

Video will be out soon, the list is: downpipe, sCR delete (weld on a pipe), race pipe or egr block off plates, and a tune from bimmerperfomance center.

[@marlonmonteiro2830]

FlyinGato thank you! You should post more about that 335!! How is it holding up ?

[@benhurd8518]

What’s the mileage on the car?

[@FlyinGato]

Currently almost 150k

[@brianx1808]

Great ride. I'm almost sold. 🤯 Do you ever have to go back to the dealership for any type of service? Will this mod also work on a 2009 X5 35d?🤔 Any thoughts or input would be appreciated.

[@FlyinGato]

After the mods, I've done 60k miles, and I've only updated the shocks because I wanted better performance. Now at 103k miles, it's ready for a major service, which I'll cover in a series of videos soon. I plan to get a 2012 X5d and will treat it the same as the 335d. Can't wait!

[@alteredergot]

My 335d drives wonderfully but is the most expensive car to maintain I have ever dealt with. The torque is more addictive than crack. Beware out of warranty.

[@FlyinGato]

+alteredergot for sure, there are a few mods to make it pretty much bulletproof though

[@alteredergot]

I've had to replace 2 fuel injectors, NOx sensor, a battery, numerous lights, etc. BMW NA extended the warranty on my VIN# for most of the DPF/SRC system and NOx sensors BUT my attempts to collect have been nearly impossible. What mods make it bulletproof - alphabet delete? I'm suspect of all the injectors I did not already replace...

[@FlyinGato]

+alteredergot alphabet delete. What you'll need is a full carbon cleanup, EGR and alphabet delete and a tune. After all that, nothing really goes bad. BMW falsely thinks the injectors go bad when it starts throwing codes, but it's carbon build up. After what I stated you need, swirl flap delete and new harmonic balancer, and then it'll be nothing but fuel filters, oil changes and gas

[@arcade-o8816]

If i take this to a german auto shop, would they know what to do? Do i just list what you posted? How much did this cost you?

[@FjordTrotter]

@@alteredergot I did the same.. 2 fuel injectors, a battery, lights etc. The sensors, egr cooler, ad blue (DEF) system failed and kept on throwing check engine lights. Keeping the car updated would cost more than the car itself so I rid of everything (EGR SCR DPF) and did a full stage 2.9 tune with larger intercooler. Now it has 404 hp, 660 ft-lb of torque, gets 38 mpg avg and outruns most 500+ hp sports cars. It hits 140 mph like nothing, 0-60 in 3.7s and only needs fuel filters (once per year) and diesel fuel. AMAZING BEAST. I DONT REGRET BUYING IT.

[@Williamwallace-f92]

0:23 blue smoke is oil burning

[@FlyinGato]

it's normal on these modded cars for initial blue smoke puff.

[@jimburford4535]

I saw that good eye. Smoke out of both exhaust. Is that due to the turbo spool up?

[@bmwsincekid]

That can be spark Plugs as well* i mean Glow Plugs:)

[@andrewb9708]

Most modern diesels vent the crankcase into the intake. When the engine sits for a little while, a small amount of oil collects on the intake valves and is burned on startup. My 6.0 powerstroke does the same thing has my 2013 X5 3.5d.

[@dzionisis]

Hey did the ECU tune improve your mpg ? Have you noticed a difference before and after the tune ? I have a European 2006 BMW 535d and thinking to do a ECU remap that would increase the power by around 50-60hp. Just wondering how would it affect the mpg. Btw sick ride man :)

[@FlyinGato]

Thanks!! MPG went from around 30 to around 40 MPG (US gallons). It's an incredible improvement, but you do have to perform the ABC delete first.

[@brianthompson8469]

Hi, I have a 2007 uk specification 335d saloon, 286bhp and 428ft/lb of torque. I had a stage one remap and achieved 55bhp and 110Nm of torque, also between 3 to 4 mpg improvement. It now runs 341bhp and 710Nm or 524ft/lb. I had the gearbox remapped at the same time and completely changed the dynamics of the car. Totally recommend the stage one, you won’t need anymore power than this!

I just went for a ride in my friends 335d and it is a beast! It now makes 600 ft-lbs of torque, and 380 hp! It is insane! It spins the tires at 55 mph! 😂 and my God it sounds beautiful! It looks like any other bmw on the road, he hasnt done any exterior mods. It is white, no tint, stock alloy rims(looks on point), stock everything. The only thing he has done to it is a big ass intercooler, a downpipe with no cat, a new free flowing intake, and a computer tune. I wish I had that car and I'm only 13!

[@bmwe93m32]

I’d check out Matt Whitbread and Whitbread Performance. I’m working with Matt on a EFR upgrade for the LP turbo. Currently I’m running both hybrids and every possible mod to support power. I’m also building the bottom of the motor and the head (cams/springs) to support north of 600 whp.

[@FlyinGato]

wow 600, hope you have an LSD out back! I'll check out Matt for sure.

[@philhans7437]

I do have a question. I've been hunting down this car for a while and I found one locally for 7k. Car has 166k miles on it but its untouched and in great condition with claimed all highway miles. Do these engines and transmissions lasts for a long time if well taken care of? I plan on removing the DEF system, cleaning it up and doing a tune up on it and getting it tuned and the trans tuned. I feel like it is a very good price for it but there are others in the area now too. One for 10k that has 100k miles and one for 12k that has 96k. All look in great shape but if I can save up some money for mods and still be safe I'd prefer to go for that.

[@FlyinGato]

you have to check to make sure maintanance has been done. Things like, the transmission fluid changed at 80K, the harmonic balancer at 85K, vacumm hoses at 80K, intercooler inlet pipe, and brake fluids all changed. If you find a car at around 80K miles, expect to do all of that maintanance. Also, if they haven't been deleted yet, you need to factor in a carbon cleaning and an ABC delete into your budget.

[@philhans7437]

I can do all of that myself easily. I'm a diesel tech at a dodge dealership. I suppose my main concern is cost of ownership. I do expect to initially shell out a couple thousand to do the shell blasting and all the mods. Egr, dpf, scr deletes etc. This would be my daily driver and I'm on the highway 80% of the time. Thanks for your answer.

[@FlyinGato]

If you can do the work yourself, get it, main thing then is the trans fluid, if it's not changed by around 80-90k miles, there could be trouble in the future. With that said, my 335d reached 120k miles, no issues other than the ones I covered, 38mpg highway is nice too, and the power...

[@philhans7437]

That's awesome. I'll go check out the 100k mile and the 90k mile ones also but if there's plenty life left in the 166k then I rather get that and have money left to do mods. Thanks for your help. I really like all your 335d videos. All 3 of them are auto and I would want to do the trans tune so I would definitely do trans maintenance first. And from what I hear that trans is very strong too.

[@FlyinGato]

Very strong trans, used in the rolls Royce cars off the same era, it can hold a lot of power

[@brianpopelka3165]

How much hp and torque with a hybrid turbo?

[@FlyinGato]

450hp 700 torque is what I've seen. Any more and the transmission has issues

[@jusmaxjust]

have a 2009 of my own, dpf, egr, scr, and def deleted along with a tune and an upgraded hpfp. Have put 6k into it and bought it for only 6.5k has 220k miles and will out run a 2015 5.0l mustang. I just wonder how long it will be before she doesn't go any more. hoping for 250k would be really happy with 300k

[@tgmvic1424]

Hey how is the car treatingyou so far? I'm planning on going the same route as you

[@jusmaxjust]

TGM Vic1 the car is currently experiencing some sort of air in the fuel while under load, but the motor is still sound at 240k. And has recently had the cat removed, looking to get a stepped intercooler, and a cold air intake to add even more power, it currently makes 45psi of boost when pulling in 6th gear at 130.

[@tgmvic1424]

Max Just I'm looking at an 09 with 115k miles for 6-7k It'd be great if it went to 240 without major problems!

[@jusmaxjust]

TGM Vic1 get it deleted, scr, def, egr, dpf, and the scr filter removed, all the restrictions put on these cars are what eventually lead to their demise. the only catch is it won't be road legal unless you live in a county like mine where there are no emissions tests. but all of this and a nice tune ran me 3k, and getting a upgraded high pressure fuel pump put in ran me another 3k, the car is a blast to drive, makes around 400 hp and 660 tq. a really good car if yohr willing to put money into it

[@tgmvic1424]

Max Just that's what I hear and that's the plan. I got a budget of 15k which should ( fingers crossed) cover everything and some future maintenance hopefully

Not as exciting as the Honda Type-R or the S2000, lol. Mate, that BMW is in a completely different league to a plastic Japanese Honda in every facet. The two Honda's you talk of are cheap and tacky chav mobiles. That BMW 335d you have, amazing car, I am astonished you could even put a Honda alongside it, it is an utter insult. The BMW E90 sounds better, will be better built, looks better is not a pile of tin basically.

[@FlyinGato]

Honda and this BMW are two completely different products, for different purposes. For all out fun, it's Honda all day, but for pure grunt in the lap of luxury, this 335d takes the cake

[@satoronsela1254]

@@FlyinGato You simply cannot put a plastic Honda in the league of this BMW, no way. That specific BMW, so the 335d E90 is probably the best BMW they have made in many years. Not only is the build quality solid, but the engine, the look of the vehicle, the way it goes. A Honda, any Honda should not be compared to this BMW. It may be quicker on roads that wind and curve around the Honda, but that is it. It is a chav mobile Honda and I am astonished you have pitted a Honda remotely in the league of a BMW 335d E90, ha ha, just crazy. I currently own a 340i Shadow. 1 year old. It is alright, but it is not as good as an E90 335i and certainly not as superior as an E90 335d. Honestly, I am well jealous you have that car, ha ha. They are so rare to find now, even in the UK, to find a low mileage one with say 30,000 miles is hard. I did see a silver M-Sport on a 2011 plate, saloon a bit like you're 335d with 34,000 miles on it and full BMW service history. Immaculate this car was, and I would have put a stage II exhaust on it and that is all I would do with it. I would not chav it up, but keep it almost original apart from upgrading the BHP and exhaust system, nothing else. Honestly mate, I love you're vehicle, ha ha. Your's is the SE version I think as well?. It looks so understated, but really it is a magnificent car and a real sleeper you have there. No point in chaving them up as well. You see some people they ruin them by putting aftermarket 20inch alloys on them which look shit, unless you have BMW original alloys anyone putting aftermarket rubbish on their BMW is a chav and has no respect for what this specific BMW is about. All that said, no I do not rate Honda alongside any BMW, sorry, ha ha. Plastic Japanese rubbish not for me.

[@randallprince]

As someone who has owned a dozen BMWs and loves them to death, you're fooling yourself if you think the BMW will be more reliable than either of them. Both are going to be much cheaper to own and maintain, use less consumables (weight is a killer) and both will generally be must faster in anything other than a strait line. I've driven a track prepped 450HP 335d at CMP in Kershaw, SC. I've been on track with moderately tuned S2ks and ITRs and both will stomp the BMW in the corners. There's no way to overcome that weight... especially with how heavy the diesel engine is. They are all different tools meant for different jobs...
