I have to say there's nothing like watching an enthusiast speak to owning his car, and what can be done to personalize it, especially one who's owned his car for several years. Your five reasons to own the 335i all seem solid evaluations. Please publish 5 reasons not to own (or what to watch out for when purchasing; any advice, and that sort of thing is helpful towards making a wise decision). Keep on keepin' on, man!

Man you hit the nail on the head about the linear power delivery. I remember test driving one and being scared initially because it was more than twice as powerful as the car I had currently been driving, but I was so surprised at how easy it was to drive. Then I put my foot down...the rest is history and the car is on my driveway now My only gripe with it (currently) is that the standard auto is pretty slow to kick down

[@pepsiontherockspls]

Hey man I wanna thank you for making this because I had been looking for a video to explain what's possible with the car, instead of giving an opinion about what you think is right like everyone else. For anyone considering buying one... This past June I bought a 2011 335xi, e90 n55 because I was tired of driving around a shitty mazda 6. I don't make a lot of money and I'm 24. I was pretty intimidated regarding the cost of repairs and the rumors about cost. I couldn't be happier now. I got a great deal at 90k miles for $8000. The guy had receipts for the water pump and thermostat replaced at 70k, I called the business to confirm the work done and they were able to tell me quite a bit about the service record since he brought it there for all the work. In my own opinion, if you are anywhere near handy and willing to learn about how the car is put together to do maintenance, you'll enjoy the car MUCH MORE than you think you will. The first time I took it to back roads and floored it around a bend, I said out loud "are you fucking kidding me?!"

[@VehicleVirals]

Awesome story! And you're welcome 👊🏼

[@Qute227]

I'm personally a fan of the 335i or 335xi coupe with manual transmission, I would buy it stock of course

[@BimmerBose]

Yes definitely the manual transmission completely changes the personality are the car and it leaves you with full control. I own a automatic 335i and a manual 135i and boy is it a blast it shifts so smooth and the power you get when the turbos are filling spooled up nothing like it 👍🏼👍🏼

Reliability? Check! I have two 2011 335i X-Drive e92 coupes (n55 Engines). One has 220,000 miles (minor repairs - water pump, charge pipe, and typical routine maint). The other one has 96,000 miles and no repairs yet, but proactively replaced water pump. The most annoying thing is the replacing of the Oil Filter Housing gasket every so often. But it's a cheap and easy repair.

Find a good BMW mechanic and don't be cheap with maintenance. I learned this after owning my first e36. It was actually for my son. Before this, I always owned Japanese cars and trucks. I really enjoyed driving his car so I bought one for my wife (e90/328) After the warranty ran out, I truly found out why its so expensive to own. The dealers and the mechanics. Truly rip offs. If they don't know what's wrong they start changing parts. During this time I found a real BMW whisperer. Saved me tons of money. I bought a 335 after. Never went back to dealer. Buy bmw parts only. No Chinese crap. Internet is full of it. Might last 6 months but will fail before its time. This can lead to more problems. Good mechanic, no cheap parts, follow maintenance. Every 70,000 miles, change water pump and belt. Both cars have close to 150,000 and are in mint condition, and we don't want to trade them in because we have no issues with either of them.

Dude just bought a 2010 335i for $4200 with 71,000. And the reason why it was so cheap, it's because it was vandalized, both windshield's were broken and it had some scratches around the car. Nothing alse seems to be wrong with the car. Thanks for your video it gives me hope for this car

[@DavewtheD]

I’m glad for this video. I’m saving for a 335i rn and I was iffy.

[@benjaminhrustic461]

thx man, this is what i'm looking for, there's sooo many people hating on the car, even though they have not driven a 335i

[@CarModsGarage]

Right on brother! I was saying same thing about comparing this to a 2JZ. Supra got too expensive and there are a few cars you can take power out of. This is one. I am planning to get one for my channel in the future.

[@MetroAH01]

Love this video man! I recently purchased my own 2008 BMW 335i and im really excited about potential mods in the future after seeing this video.

Haha! I didn't know I had adjustable bolsters either until recently! Great for the track!

[@therealchucktaylor3392]

Sweet ride! Been doing some research on the 335, this video has some of the best info that’s helped me, planning on buying one near the end of this month!

I love my 335i.... had it 6 years and love it

[@ptogawa]

I have an opp to get an '07 convertible with 68k mi for $9k. Never owned a BMW and all the "common issues" vids steered me to thinking no way. This vid brings much light. Thank you for helping educate those not in the BMW community...yet. Much respect.

[@truevhazo4001]

Has it been reliable?

[@diesel112358]

@@truevhazo4001It definitely needs attention in the shop, but nothing major yet. About twice a year is what I normally see. Just hit 200k miles in May. I'm still amazed at the torque this thing has. Going to drive it till the wheels fall off!!

[@jrelyea]

Great video and very helpful. I've owned my 2011 335xi e92 for 5 years and am ready to trade it in, but want to give it one more chance. I love the car, it's just expensive to fix, so I'm trying to dust off my very rusty mechanic's hat.

[@JesusIsLordLasVegas]

What were some of the costly repairs you've done?

[@jrelyea]

@@JesusIsLordLasVegas Since I made that comment, I've done a lot to this car, and I love it even more. Working on it myself is not that difficult but very satisfying. I've made many upgrades too, and it's running better, with more power than when I bought it. Repairs I have made: Accessory belt and pulleys, various coolant hoses, spark plugs, ignition coils, front shocks and suspension (all control arms and end links), water pump and thermostat, transmission oil pan, brake rotors and pads, engine mounts. Upgrades: VRSF intercooler, charge pipe, catless downpipe, AFE cold air intake,. Lots of miscellaneous other things too. I bought a set of Quickjacks that make the jobs a lot easier and safer, plus lots of other tools. Now that I do all of the work myself, the car is actually very reliable.

[@deplorabledave1048]

335i can be easily modified to be faster than my well tuned e46 M3. But from 80mph and up, I can beat them. But it's a struggle. I find these cars to be fairly easy to work on. They have enormous aftermarket. They have extremely reasonably priced parts if you buy everything online. Even if you have to buy the odd fastener or two at the dealer it's not that bad at all. And, if you're lucky like me, you can recruit one the parts guys to help you wrench on your M3 on one of his days off. VERY good rate in cash. Invaluable assistance. Even some great advice. Mr. A, I thank you, sir. Profusely. I just wish I was turbocharged. They're so easy to get more power. It's unbelievably expensive to add turbo to the E46 M3. You got to rebuild the bottom end. It is about 40 Grand with all the other modifications you need to keep things from breaking. You end up with over 800 horsepower to the rear wheel on E85 and 25+ lbs boost. And you can run flex fuel in any combination of gasoline and E85. With the AEM Infiniti you can also dial in precise traction control for any boost.

[@judelow3651]

You can beat em stock, against a modified 335i you stand no chance, i dont even think you stand much of a chance against my tuned 335d, i have twice the torque and same hp as you

[@icommandoi145]

I've had my 335i 2007 msport FBO for more than 5 years and I love the performance, drive experience and sounds. The only dislike is the reliability issues... yes it does have constant oil leaks like a fountain and just the other day my thermostat shut closed which gave me a nice surprise of coolant leaks everywhere. The increase HP and torque by a tune and FBO expose all the weak points in the car so maintenance schedules are increased as well as a requirement for both high flow and low flow OIL catch cans! A must! Personally DCI is not necessary as the factory air box is more than sufficient for stock snails.

[@HermanWillems]

Damn my Japanese VQ35DE from Nissan which has alot of miles on it, doesn't leak one single drop of oil. Also second owner and first owner had no engine problem ever. Same for me nothing with the whole drive train and whole engine. NOTHING. Literally really 0.0% problems. I think alot of BMW drives do not understand how reliable a car can be. And they are afraid to buy a Japanese real quality car. The only thing that breaks down on such car are "brakes" because you brake. And "tires" because you drive/drift.

Purchased a used 2009 e92 335i (N54 engine) stock with just m-suspensions and performance exhaust. Fell in love right then and bought it at the spot from am official BMW dealer. I have an awesome indie garage the specialists in m-tuning and tuned my 335i to the well known “full bold on” status. An insane 400hp and when using the JB4 you get an iOS app that comes along with it that you can use to see your engine live, switch maps and do other cool stuf like read engine failure codes,... The only thing I downgraded after the tune was the exhaust system as with catless down pipes and the performance exhaust... it’s just too much after a while. It was fun fir the first weeks but a cold start early in the morning gets your neighbors asking about it. Switches to a stock exhaust and still awesome sound :-) Love the car... some small issues but nothing unusual or catastrophic failures. You realize it’s a machine and a machine can have some issues. The 335i is perfect if you want tuning fun and still get to business customers in a classy stock looking car but has 400hp.

[@coyle477]

If they didn't yet.... they will

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

Unfortunately they are going to fail eventually, they had a design flaw and bmw even admitted that. To be honest, not related to rod bearings but its hard to expect that a 10-15 year old car wont have to have anything replaced after that long of a time. You're pretty lucky if it didnt yet, but unfortunately even with proper maintence it doesnt mean anything. However wish you long and prosper time without any major repairs, and tons of fun!

[@olabergvall3154]

Agree with you on the driving experience. Now mine's only a E93 325i, so naturally aspirated and nowhere near as easily tunable as the 335. But I love how this baby picks up and goes, even with the mere 218 bhp I get from stock tune ❤

[@bwdrives]

not sure if you still have it but I think they are tunable to around 280 hp if its the 3 litre engine?

Never buy a bmw over 90k. Worth the extra couple grand too land one around 60k. And if you do make sure you get some receipts for recent repairs and do some research on common repairs for that model and year. Trust me most bmws hit a wave of expensive repairs at 90k. Most people sell em when they feel the car not performing the same could be getting a Lemon
