Many people online choose to put the down the BMW 335i as a terrible car option calling it a money pit that you'd be better without. All the negative online noise inspired me to make this video and showcase reasons why it's an excellent car to buy especially if you're looking for a tuner car with massive potential. I have owned my 2008 BMW e93 BMW 335i for nearly 5 years, so rest assure what I talk about in this video is actual personal experience and not information I got from someone that has 0 experience owning one. That said there are reasons why you shouldn't buy one and I'll make a video on that topic is this video performs well, so make sure to like it and share with a friend!

335i next😈
I want to do all the upgrades u listed I just got 2008 335i it’s in perfect condition
Scotty is gonna be triggered by this.
Lol who dat
@Tango1080 excellent!
my experience with a 745Li, always failing emissions, coolant leak, random electronic failures, and an air injector that was going $4k to fix, i traded it for a 300c and never looked back lol.
@@vursuh Scotty Kilmer, got 2.5 mill subs on TH-cam, Don't worry I'd never heard of him before this comment as well lol. ✌️👊
@@vursuh I just recently found Scotty too. He talked me out of BMWs 😂
Either work on it yourself or find a good cheap mechanic that you can trust , but never take it to a bmw dealership then you’ll be spending a lot of money lol
good and cheap mechanics dont exist
@@Chibanator97 I have a cheap mechanic & my neighbors a mechanic who does it dirt cheap
Charbel Al-houkaim yes they do! Lol
Charbel Al-houkaim i know one but only because my dad is good friends with him
Take it to them for diagnosis. Indie/local mechanic for work and DIY for easy stuff like oil, spark plugs, ignition coils, rear shock absorbers.
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!
I've only owned my 07 for 3.5 years. Aside from regular maintenance, I've only experienced water pump failure and oil leaking from valve cover.. Both DIY fixed.
Milage?
How do you fix a leaky valve cover yourself?
Took the words right out of me, people who talk down on bmw’s have never driven one, let alone owned one 😂 thanks for putting on for the bmw community!
👊🏼
✊
Luis Martinez or maybe we have but aren’t fanboys to a badge.
Straight bullshit, We owned an x3 and sunk a shit ton of money in it to even get it to run, (Under 100k miles). It's fun whilst in warranty sure. Once it's out of that, Ditch that shit or you may aswell just push it into a river.
Cope. Cope.
7th Reason: Theres an available Coral Red Interior option
JohnStax I have that on my 328i man it’s nearly impossible to find a 335i with red interior
I have it with my 335i :D
My car: space gray - coral red ❤️
The red interior makes any BMW look badass
That everyone has so it's not even that unique.. lemme guess your car is also white?
You're absolutely spot on - every time I get on my 335i, the thrill of driving the beast is undeniable. Keep up the good work!
How many times did I say "335i" in this video? *Hint:* 11 times in the first 2 minutes alone 😂
Check out the second part "5 Reasons Why You SHOULDN'T Buy an "UNRELIABLE" BMW 335i":

41 times. I counted LOL
34 times??😂😂😅
Hey! On the very same page, people in India assume VAG cars are very expensive to maintain and me being a VW owner, *believed this!* Yesterday, I searched for Volkswagen Vento spare parts price and compared it to Hyundai Verna, *and Hyundai spares were more expensive than VW!*
Man your car sounds so sweet! I suggest you keep it safely or I may come to your home and stea... stare at it 👀
@Lou 😀😁😗😁 are you modifying it?
Scotty Kilmer be like
ENDLESS MONEY PIT THIS! ENDLESS MONEY PIT THAT
Some say, as soon as Scotty finds a buyer for his Celica, his getting a 335i.
is true tho
Its not like he is a mechanic or anything. Who has repaired countless number of cars and has noticed a common theme.
@@TheMezzy712 e46 m3 is the only bmw Scotty said he'd buy
Alumnikiid yeah cuz people drive them like an Econ. A bmw is NOT an Econ. Premium gas and full synthetic only. If your too lazy for that you shouldn’t own a BMW regardless of your income. Be handy and take care of it and it’ll get to 260k-280k before it dies
Damn dude, i was searching for a playlist like the one you have on the 335i for a long time. I can find everything i need here. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm now a proud owner of a 2006 E92 335i tuned to 440whp by it's previous owner which was an engineer himself. The car had every known issue fixed and had new turbos on it after the BMW recall in warranty. Coming from a Mk5 GTI, this car is so much more raw and aggressive. I love it.
👊🏼
You are the happy owner for the next 1-2,000 miles!

How about transmission, can manual hold additional 100hp
All day
@@VehicleVirals how about 330d, I heard that only automatic can handle newtons
@@MRSLAV Not sure if the 330d carries the same manual trans to be honest, and personally I don't have much experience with that model
ZF trans is one of the best on the market. One of the reasons why these cars are so tuner friendly + a solid block
@@garrisonmcgugin8206 how much power can a stock block handle
owned a 2013 “Is” loved it and had zero issues. Currently in a 2018 F80 M3 ZCP, dude, no comparison.Great clip BTW.
That's a great video !! Just purchased a 2007 335 xi manual yesterday and your info helps A LOT ! By far , some of the most useful info around and I'll be doing some of the upgrades u've mentioned!
Thanks Christian, I really appreciate the fact that you having owned a BMW can show us and tell us about your experience with the car versus someone else who has not. Thanks for the video it was wonderful and I look forward to more! Best wishes and peace out!
Appreciate you always dropping by 👊🏼
I cannot help but be a supporive part of the Car community. I may not post much yet, but I hope to once I get the tools needed to start. You and many other creators on You Tube inspire us to do better and remain informed about what we have a vested interest in. I admire that Christian and I hope you go far like Chris Fix, Hoovie, Tavarish, Samcrac and even Gingium out of Illinois. Best wishes as always my friend!
The bolsters are the best when driving spirited. I love my 2008 335i coupe (Space gray w/ red interior baby)!!!!
great to hear some positive news on the BMW. I have a lovely 530 which is a 2004 and its still beautiful and a joy to drive.
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
xHP flash to the auto will speed shifts up. I'm running it at the moment.
The turbos and injectors are expensive af only main downside as long as you’re a bit mechanically inclined and can do regular maintenance it’s a great car
What i have noticed so far is that the „super unreliable“ 335is have at least 200hp more than stock, so it‘s their own fault 😅
But a g-power blown m3 would still be quite amazing 😄
Yes so much truth in this video! Got my 07 e92 (200,000km) fbo stage 2+ going single snail with doc racing at the end of the month. Great platform to have fun with and very little issues.
Yo mate, how is the car doing? I also want to buy a high mileage 335i with 200k km, but im way too scared for the costs 😫. Did you experience any issues?
Second owner of a bone stock 2007 335i. I love it! It’s smooth and has just enough power for me.
2009 328i works fine for me 🤷🏾♂️
Stock still fast asf
You my friend are a true BMW enthusiast-hands down. I am on the hunt for a 335i for under 10k and going to keep up with your videos to tune it up once the hunt is over. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge with the rest of us BMW aficionados.
hey man have you found one yet? im on the lookout for a replacement for my audi a3 after it got totaled, and tryna find something for 13-14k and under with decent mileage. so far my best option are the Golf/jetta Gti/Gli's. but a 335i would be IDEAL! let me know thanks 👍
Wish I could master my 550i the way you mastered your car.💯
Much respect.
Just do itttt. But 550i is really nice stock, tbh
Finally the headlights being changed
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.
I’ve owned one for almost two weeks now and I love it. The hardtop is quick to go up and down, and the car is scary fast.
Got my e93 335i 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. Higher mileage as well and not a single issue.
Mee too
Alpina developed the N54 engine, that engine won several German championships. I have it in my 740 Li. The components in the engine were ment to support 6-7 hundred HP's. Plus Alpina founder stated that he wanted an engine that would produce more torque to conserve more fuel.
I bought an “unreliable” 535i , I love it and can honestly say I haven’t ran into anything more than maintenance costs (mostly fluids and brittle plastic parts)
I’ve had my “unreliable” 335i for 7 years. I bought a E90 M3 a few years ago and couldn’t stand to trade in my “unreliable” 335i so now I have both. The only issue I‘ve had with my 335i was the water pump and that was no surprise. Other than that, like you, only maintenance costs.
Chris Wallace would you agree that (idk about the 335 but Atleast mine) these cars are not the best for diy 😅 due to tight spaces, weird tools, and plastic that gets old and breaks very often
@@jarrettg6634 I’ve left a good bit of skin in those tight spaces. 😂
hey how many miles did you get yours with?
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’ve been driving my ‘10 335xi m sport(n54) for about a month or two now, only problem is it’s developed wastegate rattle; that’s their ultimate downfall in my opinion as well as the fuelling issues. Aside from those two though I’m WOT everywhere I go and it’s giving me no issues 🤞🏽
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?!"
Awesome story! And you're welcome 👊🏼
Dad has found me a 2007 335i and so glad I found your videos cause now I look forward to it
After owning over 45 vehicles I finally purchased my 1st BMW, 1st German car! I bought a 06 330i from a detailer so she looks really clean but maint wise not so much! Thes videos have been great it came with 5 cel codes i've learned my DISA valve was broke. Vanos seloniods were shot and secondary air pump has been deleted. I'm now down to 2 codes misfire cyl 1. I swapped coils and replaced plugs no luck! Hoping it's an injector. Other code is p1415 for air pump. Bought the OBD2 cable and going to tune it out. Basically thanks for all the videos I'd be completely lost without you and some other guys here! Previous owned had starter, alt, bat and valve cover gasket replaced recently so now I just need to remove the 20 pounds of oil sludge from underneath the car! LOL
I love The heavy steering feel on my 135I. It is stiff but not 944 stiff
I own a 335i e92 for 4 years. It's an amazing car! All you told us is true! And the car is not so expensive.
Really good video man , straight to the points , subscribing
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
I have an 2011 N55 335i convertible with 188k miles. It’s been one of the most reliable cars I ever had. Love it!
It’s all good bruh thanks for the reply.... respect ✊
Yes. Very smart for starting to make videos about this car. I actually just started looking at one of these.
Picking up an 08 335xi tomorrow night. Can't wait! This video has me amped!! Thanks for the content! You have a new subscriber! 👍🏼
Very nice car my man! I have a 2007 335i I have owned for five years as well. Although I have yet to do any upgrades, I am thinking of some of the bolt-on options you suggested oh and thank you for the suggestion on how to eliminate the tailpipe rattle. Have the same issue
I've got an e46 m3 and a 335i msport
Both mt and there both amazing fast cars
I couldn't have said all of that any better, amazing video man ! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks, Bro. Was having serious buyer's remorse after buying my 335i and hearing about all the negative reviews, but it's nice to hear you enjoy it as much as I do! Hopefully it treats me ok!
How's it been treating you?

I own a 2011 335is and I agree with these statements
I Love my 08 335i as well. This car is the only car I have owned that I just love to drive everyday.
John Jamieson III are they reliable when they start to get close to 100k miles
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.
I've owned 11 BMW's (currently have an X5) but my fav was my 335 coupe....400hp, 500nm in a 3 series- Loved that car.
Early high torque, fast throttle response and high hp. Basically recommend for all kinds of cars. M3 with Compressor is also good
Haha! I didn't know I had adjustable bolsters either until recently! Great for the track!
YES! Subbed because of this.. proud owner of a e92 and X35D
Professional review, thank you!
Spot on with everything.. to anyone that wants a bmw. Buy the n54 335i
I'm personally a fan of the 335i or 335xi coupe with manual transmission, I would buy it stock of course
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 👍🏼👍🏼

+ your gas prices are crazy gas price in EU is $1.5 per liter, and you have around $0.50 per liter
I own a 2011 335 with about 88k miles. Over the past few thousand miles I have replaced the following: high pressure fuel pump, water pump (electric), valve cover and gasket, oxygen sensor, and of course brakes (a normal expense unlike the others). The non-normal expenses have been thousands of dollars. I am very happy with the car but surprised at how many things go wrong with it. Would not modify for more power as the car has a difficult time dealing with the power it has!
Clean title or not ? Tuned or not?
James Rogers replaced all the same shit, multiple times. I get limp mode in summer.😂 clean title. Its a pile of garbage. Too worthless to sell; expensive as hell to maintain
For real I bought mine for $5700 I’m gapping expensive ass cars it’s so crazy and it runs super good, of course I keep up maintenance but it’s totally worth it!
@@dannyvalencia2123 Yeah, sure you are. Meanwhile a pathetic Challenger SRT-8 Scatpack, obliterated my 335i. Maybe you're gapping Corollas, but you ain't gapping anything with balls
@@goclunker 200iq
Great review!!!
I had a 2011 335is with the DCT transmission. I made similar mods as you did and got 485 HP and 537 lb.ft. of torque on the dyno. Everything you said is the truth. Now, a good six years later, I'm kicking myself for having sold it. EVERYTHING about that car was incredible!
I’m a car builder an enthusiast. Cars are my hobby and I spend money on my hobby just like someone who is into boats etc. I’ve had my E92 3 years and have really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who has no mechanical skills. It’s a money pit if you pay someone every time it breaks. I’m FBO hybrid turbos etc.
My e46 316i 2002 has every feature you mentioned as well lmao
Great video! I watched this 'after' I watched the "shouldn't" version. I love how you are so detailed and talk about these cars as "whatever you want to make them" instead of WYSIWYG. Sure, BMW owners are often assholes, but not every single one. You're the good one. Keep up the good videos, man. I love this channel! (And....I absolutely love the sound of a straight six.... For sure, man!)
Awesome video! I'm picking one up Friday. Subscribed!
Welcome to the channel! 👊🏼
People who talk down on BMW'S usually take their cars to the stealership to get worked on. Take the time in finding a good mechanic and you'll love your car more. That's for any car you get.
Love them and people that never owned them always trying to tell me how high priced it is
4:30 anyone with a nice car can relate, it was even with my beloved 2002 E46 that I really appreciated to get back in after having our company car or anything else that my family drives. Now that I have an E89 I'm always looking forward to get back in again.
I know this video is 2yrs old BUT I want to thank you for putting out, because your right all I was seeing was negative talk about the 335i, I'm looking to get one here soon. I'm not gonna make it a fast car just gonna enjoy it stock I have a 600hp Foxbody for fun, thanks for this video.
I work at a car parts store and my co-workers don't believe in the power of BMWs so I decided to save up and get a 335 and blow them away.
If i where a car part store, i gladly see alot of BMW drivers. Makes good business.
Bought a BMW 335i 2013 today... My first car ever! So damn happy!
🙌🏼
Cheers! I just bought a 2011 M sport. I’m enjoying myself too. Haha
Appreciated man for your infomrmation. DO you have any idea which registration would be great to buy ?
Spot on! Excellent video.
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.
What were some of the costly repairs you've done?
@@VegasElement 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.
Im a new owner of a 2007 BMW 335i coupe and love it. Also i like your channel, keep up the good job.
Congrats man!
you gonna met a lot of new friends (by staying in queue in service)
same here 196k put a few thousand on it keeping up with maintenance runs perfectly not a single problem
Just got my e92 coupe a month ago best year
@@dunnaldtromp1476 2007 is the worst year! I had one from jan 2007, nothing but trouble. Never more than 5000 miles between two big problems. Repared for $18000,- on 40000miles!
Thank u for this video. Im buying one this week.
Agreed. Got a 2009 Black Sapphire 335i E93. Full load M Sport. Sweet car! Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this video! I was definitely questioning getting this car, I think you might have persuaded me! You should definitely make a buying guide/what to check for video!
Sbear LoL no don’t do it... these car are super fuccing unreliable SUPPPPPPPER
They're great cars bro you should!
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.
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.
AGREED brother.. much love from UK
I drive a 335d. I've always been curious about the 335i. Great video! I hope to drive one soon.
Has it been reliable?
@@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!!
im waiting for people to realize that 335s are the best car per dollar right now, i got my 6speed coupe for 8500$ and put 1k into it and im around 450hp on e60. coming from old Japanese cars for only a little bit cheaper its crazy.
Bryce Hidding thinking of getting one , how much did you get yours for?
5$
Yup 335i and old AMG's. Best cars for the money right now.
I love my 335i.... had it 6 years and love it
I literally fall in love with this ❤️
Good Job Bro , For all those people who says this kindda negative things about 335 !!!
I have a 335i in IRAN in This situation of sanctions and other problems , and its still reliable .
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 ❤
not sure if you still have it but I think they are tunable to around 280 hp if its the 3 litre engine?
@@bwdrives Everything is possible for sure; I meant a simple tune, not hardware changes, which would be quite a bit more expensive 😬
@@olabergvall3154 ah okay, I didn’t know you need hardware as well
The 125i with the N52 can get up to 270-80 hp with just a remap
My brother owned one. In the shop all the time and cost a lot to repair.
@Will Will True. However, there is a reason the video says "unreliable". The fact that he had to address that says something. Also, the reliability factor is well documented among several consumer reports as not so high on the list. Just seems like there are a lot of other high performance options that wont become money pits. Also over engineering leads to more problems later. Just numbers, more things to break. Just sayin.
I had a BMW 335i 2012 for 3 years, the best car i ever had, but the the only problem was when the motorplan expired the parts got really expensive. So mainly the only problem is price on maintenance, even when it only breaks a minuscule amount of times.
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.
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
I love my e93, cant wait to start doing performance mods 🤩
🔥🔥
does your roof leak? mine does :(
@@artemonstrick I got my car ~3 months ago and im from california. It hasn't rained lately so im really not sure
@@Jpimienta123 then best of luck to your new car :)

Fr
Already did. Cant find a descent 335i for under 7500
GSA with hella miles! Im looking everyday! 80k miles go for $9k+
Lol 6 k, 7k for a n54.. thats crazy
In germany its always above of 10.000€ or you will buy trash
krezo now they are 12k for 80k miles but before corona they were cheap
I'm still gonna go for the bmw m3! But I have a bunch of love for the 335i as well.
Yes Sr. Your more than right hydraulic power steering is by far the best driving experience yet. It's just amazing. There is nothing equivalent to the BMW drive is mind blowing..!
