Wtf ? You Said dont buy one

@@mrschnerkman3713 GET IT CHECKED FIRST, like he said!
If there’s one thing about BMWs is that if you insist on working the car yourself, you’ll learn a lot about your car & be a decent mechanic by the time you take care of everything.
This is an underrated comment right here.
This is it
Not a bad idea. The driving experience is great, it is worth it learning these cars. Coming from a Japanese car guy that owns an E90.
I got 12 x3 28i xdrive for my chick n52 engine we hit 212k miles car still huals ass I'm probably 1k$ in on parts and we've had it for years (replacing crank sensor was a fkin bich)
yeah no shit cause it breaks every day
N54 is a good motor if you just:
replace the injectors, ignition coils,
spark plugs, valve cover and gasket,
vanos solenoids, oil pan gasket,
turbo charger, DME, Water pump, Thermostat,
Oil filter housing gasket, Engine Belt Tensioner, Engine Belt,
High pressure fuel pump, low pressure fuel pump, rear main seal,
front main seal and add a belt guard, coolant expansion tank, all coolant hoses!
Thank you!
You forgot the Radiator, Charge Pipe, and Transmission Solenoids (Not part of the engine, but they will break like what happened to me.) 🤣
Edit: Didn't notice you said Thermostat.
You forgot replace everything
This is actually a very accurate comment.
This goes for all BMW engines. " It's good if you change bla, bla bla" I do own a 3 series and a X3. Same on both. BMW nice cars, but is a money pit.
N52 FTW! 330i
I've owned my 335i for about the same period of time. One thing I've learned Is that they are fairly easy to work on and not super expensive to maintain if you do the work yourself. The only thing that ducks is it useless like there is always something that needs to be fixed on it
I think you covered ownership with this car really well 👍🏾
Thank you 😏
Agreed, lack of upkeep with maintenance by previous owners tend to be common reason the N54 gets a bad reliability rep.
I found out after buying mine. 🤦♂️
After sorting out the problems it's been on Stage 1, reliable daily, driven hard often too.
He helped me pick a good modded bmw 335i. I knew what to look for because of him. Luckily the guy I bought it from took great care of the car and did the maintenance! He also knew a ton about these cars also luckily
So I got my bmw 335i in 2010. It was a 2007. Now the previous owner had it on a lease. But only drove it 22k miles. And the driver was a 48 year old 5’2” Korean lady. So why is that important well number one, she never drove it fast. Number two, the seats literally had absolutely no indentations or side wall crumbling on the seats. I’m a big boy so 3 years with me in the seat at 240 lbs your going to know. Cars don’t care if your muscle or fat, in fact I think muscle is probably worse on the seats, it’s very centered pressure where heavy people that are by majority more fat, is more evenly displaced. But a 100lb 5’2” Asian lady... i mean that like a responsible child sitting in your seat, it’s just not going to do very much. Ok so low miles, garage only kept, no passengers and no driver weight, she didn’t go fast, and her service records were perfect.
So how did I find this awesome bmw? Well I did a ton of research. I figured out the car I wanted and the price I could haggle it down to. Then I waited. I asked the dealerships who were bringing in the exact 335 I wanted when the owner was planned on returning their leases that week. So for two months I went to dealerships like 3 days a week and waited for customers to come in with their BMW’s. Kids dropped off their parents cars, big guys, old guys, Armenian guys who, let’s just say damn they drove them hard. And one day as I was about to cave in my patients... the Monrovia bmw dealership said they had a black 335i coming in today to be returned and asked if I wanted to take a look at it before they did all their inspections service and cleaning. So they said to swing by in the afternoon, I swung by first thing in the morning like I always did. And when she pulled in, waiting forever to turn in, really slowly moved in, and got out I was like oooohhh this is the one. I asked her how she liked it, she said one time when she got it she pressed on the gas real hard and it scared her so she only drove it slow, everywhere!!! I knew that was the car. And a week or so later it was available to buy and I did. For 24,000$. Almost walked out on the salesman 3 times until he came down on price.
Now I owned it for two years before I upgraded it to an M3. I loved that car! To this day, probably still my favorite. More than my Z06, or my M3, or my Kia Optima SX, way more than our Toyota Sequoia... until about two months ago when my wife got a Range Rover Velar... I will admit that’s my new favorite. But that 335 is second. And most of that has to do with nostalgia being my first nice car I ever bought. I worked so hard on my door to door sales summer job that year. But still it was fun, fast, and comfy.
This all brings me to say, all I needed to change was the one time the tires, and one time the breaks. Never had a single issue ever. It was awesome.
I’ve had my 2009 320i for a few months now and your vids have really helped me with some mod decisions. Thanks for all the effort you’ve put into these, super helpful!
I binge watched all your videos before buying my e93 a few weeks ago. I've ordered a bunch of mods I've liked from your videos, so thank you! And keep it up.
Awesome!
This is proberly the only TH-cam channel where I can watch the video's till the end without any problems. It's so self explanatory and always interesting to hear what you have to tell about cars in general👍🏻👍🏻
Truly means a lot. Thank you
It's a lot I learned and am still learning about my 2008 e60. It hasn't been too bad besides my current problem but even that hasn't cost me too much. Just cost me quite a bit of time.
Love the growth of your channel and your car over the years Christian. You've been a huge part of encouraging me to mod my E92 and I love it. And you really do make some of the best 335i content on TH-cam. Keep it up bro!!
👊🏼
Good video. I bought a stock n54 a couple years ago. It runs a dream and is at 145k now, but it does need regular maintenance. In that time it's had all new discs and pads, a regular service replacing things like spark plugs and a few other things. Water pump went at 140k (expected) and both rear suspension have needed attention, both of which suffered broken mountings within a few months of each other. I give it a regular oil change, got the transmission fluid changed at 140k as well and I expect to need to keep the maintenance going, but generally speaking it's not been nearly as bad as most videos would have you believe.
Wow, $140K just to replace a water pump? These maintenance fees on BMW's are unscrupulously ridiculous.

Mine is a 2006 bought used in 2007 at seven months old and I still have it , so I know the car has been well looked after , I do all the oil changes myself and most of the servicing myself and use an independent BMW dealer for major servicing , my engine upgrades are a Cobb access port tune , forge intercooler , duel cone filters , scorpion zorst , metal charge pipe and bov , oil catch tank , had walnut blasted intake valves , the things gone wrong is hpfp , water pump , and a leaking transmission sump which needs replacing , that's it , no wastegate problems , no coils , no injectors and no oil leeks ( apart from trans ) so its 15 years old and very well looked after and I absolutely love it , I never use it hard till the oil warms up , it makes a modest 390bhp and a massive 507 ft/lbs of torque , its a very safe car and one of if not thee most comfortable cars I've had , I'm an old 68year old hooligan with a 20 year old daughter who absolutely loves it , a few years back I nearly traded it for a merc sl600 v 12cyl bi.turbo tuned to 600 bhp and it didn't feel much different in performance and Molly my daughter almost blew a fuse when she found out , this car just amazes me , and I still love the thing .
I wish they kept the look of the 2012 3 series.. That natural stance it has is already amazing. With nice wheels and a bit lowered it looks amazing
ILOVE your content. I just purchased a 2011 335i Twin Turbo,
2 weeks afterward found out I needed a COMPLETE engine swap,
You're helping save my life.
No need for 5 things. 1 thing only: Everything will break. Trust me, I have one too LOL. BUT I still have it and dealt with it. Why? Because there's nothing like an n54.
Good luck on that direct injection most people don't take care of those valves and they start to run like shit. Decent car, but a money pit for sure.. if you like to replace everything then this car is for you ✌️
@@jaytee3565 not really, i have 500whp for my daily and it has no probs just minor things to replace mainly my money went too my motor like bolt ons and upgrades but from experience it's not a money pit until you make it like every other car with potential
👍👍👍👍
Was the same as you when I bought a F30 335, into cars but not the tuning aspect. After 2 years I finally started taking my time into tuning/modifying and learned so much about my car. So far I havent had any serious problems with my car, just regular maintenance and random preventative maintenance when needed (standard HPFP, Oil Gasket, etc). Overall, you hit every point of ownership with your car while being transparent as possible. 👍🏼
You killed it Cristian! I know to go for the sedan with a manual...😉👍I may wait until my SHO Taurus is gone first. 400HP and 440 ft lbs of torque is hard to let go of in an AWD. Especially stock parts on a tune. Love the advice on progression of upgrades and ownership. Thanks brother and best wishes!
Would love to see your SHO pull. Any videos? 😏
Great video man, very informative for sure!
BMW cars in general are relatively easy to maintain if you're handy with minor repairs and fantastic fun cars. But if not and limited budget, run away!
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, you and budget bimmers were a big reason I fell in love with the 335i. It wasn’t long before I realized that was my dream car and now I own one thanks to y’all. I love the content and most of all your attitude towards the situations you face. Keep up the great work, man. ✌🏼
❤️
Hey watch ur video and love it. Btw good job on keeping up on the maintenance of ur car. I have a e90 335d. I have the 3.0 straight 6 twin turbo diesel. They are very reliable and I get 35 mpg on a stage 2 tune and 350 hp at 520lb ft of torque. I think u would like it because they are strong engine and very reliable. Mine has 139000 miles on it and had it for a year and no problem. Good work on the video and keep it up.
I’ve done most of the work on my 335i just from watching diys! Maintenance is super important with these
Great video!! i definitely know what to do if i ever go to the bmw scene!!
Those are great tips. Yeah my experience with the 335i was heavy maintenance 40-60k mile range and again at 130-150k mile range. Bought the car 2 years old with 30k miles and now have 150k miles. Bought the car for $32k. Probably spent more than that in maintenance over 10 years and has broken down just one time. So I’d say to anyone out there to take good care of the car by budgeting 300 bucks a month and find an independent shop and do it right. I have recently purchased an e90 m3 mt and I’m expecting it to be similar running costs which seem higher than you might initially think. Both great sedans to drive so to me its worth the investment.
Dude I’m having the same issue with my e93. I’ll order parts and they’ll be slightly off but they’re advertised for e93. Just taught me to be smarter and more patient
The struggle.
I just start my 335i e93 tuning today after 3 years of ownership. Came stock plus all maintenance files. Did MHD stage 1 and throttle sensitivity. Big difference. Do all the repairs and maintenance myself. I can't afford stealer prices of $100 plus 15% gst (New Zealand) per hour.
I just got my 3351 n 54. 2008 98 k. Well maintained supposedly. Absolutely love this car so far. Trouble started when I put a jb+ device on it. Now throws codes and goes into limp mode. Probably going to remove it if. That doesn’t stop. I really like your videos. You get to the point without any bs. If you could go into more detail and more closeups on your mods would help.
Thanks for the video man, I’m a Saab guy and just purchased a 08’ 535i off a buddy. The coolant lines went out so you know what that means. “Endless money pit” Scotty Kilmer voice. Cheers
Bought my 07 e93 335i 6mt cpo in 2011 with 34k. Garage kept fair weather driver now has 107k. Only issues so far, rebuilt the abs/dsc controller, replaced front wheel bearings and carbon cleaning, total $1,000. Even still has the original battery. Routine maintenance, every 5-7k.
Always wanted one, this gives me food for thought. Appreciate it.
i got 335d e92 1 year now.after buying it from gypsy seller quite cheap month after both turbos died,recondition in uk cost me 1600pound with dpf delete,still love it especially the look of it !
I got my e93 with 70k miles. It's been 2 years and 119K miles with little to no problems. I learned my lesson on maintenance from my e46.
Still got it?
Just got my 335i sedan a few days ago, my carfax was double the price of what it was worth, I got lucky the owner lived in a different state now. Didn’t have any issues except the window regulator lol.
Just got myself a 335D today. Fully serviced with stage 1 map. Absolutely love it!
Just got mine a couple of months ago too! E92 2008 335xi (64K) manual 6 speed for 10k cash, had a 30ff error as I drove it home. My heart sank and devastated. I end up finding the issue and it was the diverter hoses were not fastened correctly and they were popping off. I cleaned the connector and reseated them all. No more error and I been pushing her pretty hard. I love it!!!! She also on JB4 Stage one tune now but I only turn it on when I want to be real bad. ;)
Hey man. Great video. How much was your engine out service?
Yay list videos I missed these
I'm gonna be buying one of these soon just takin my time looking
I can work.on these my self but still gotta be careful about what the previous owner did or didn't do to the car. Luckily I'm very mechanically inclined. Nice vid bro
Great content for what to look for and what to consider before buying a BMW. We're in the research stage between the n54 or n55 335i/x models.
N54 Responds to Mods much better
Just followed on insta, i also have an E93 (2010). Love the car but the previous owner and also a friend of mine neglected some maintenance. Because of this i have done injectors, plugs, coil packs, oil filter housing gasket, walnut blast and most recently a water pump and thermostat which died and left me stranded. Keep up the good work and keep those videos coming!! Hopefully that exhaust will be mine one day soon !!
👊🏼
There is nothing you can do to prevent Water pump failing. It WILL happen and you never know when.
Woooahhh I’m a 335i owner F30 though, and I definitely do my maintenance! I don’t even go by BMWs stupid suggestion of 12k oil change I do mine every 8k (max). I’ve also changed a lot of the plastic bits into aluminum ones and have an oil catch can to help with the intake valve carbon fouling
Great advice! I always tell people you need to maintain the BMW like an airplane. Gotta pay to play.
hey man .. its been more than 10years wanting 335i now im about to get it next week.
I watched your video it was so helpful
see ya arround thnks a lott
Well done bro! Hats off
wow!!! great info! thanks much
Literally I’m in the market rn. I’m glad I learned so much. If I didn’t glance at ur channel shit I would’ve never known all the common issues etc. much love
❤️
Same with me. He helped me a lot. Got a fbo 08 335i sedan a few months ago.
Im also in the market for one but not the 335, great video
Great video. Just out of curiosity do you think you would be able to do one about the 328xi coupe? Only ask because you seem very knowledgeable about bmw which is hard to find people who are lol and also there’s just not much info or videos on TH-cam about this specific car
nice video man, what do you think the reliability on the new 340i is i was thinking of getting one
Good video Christian this is my favourite channel you smash it every time 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
👊🏼
Just copped a 335i convertible!
Congrats!
Good luck with ownership, hope u have fun. Working on your own car is key.
i just bought a 335i coupe from BMW dealer with 59k miles, absolutely mint.. such a beauty
appreciate this vid so much!!
Dunno...
I mean, just maintain it. Reliable when maintained. The maintenance schedule is in the owner's manual.
The repeat issues even when maintained? Cooling, and valve cover gaskets.
BTW, Japanese vehicle parts nowadays cost a lot now too.
Just maintain your s***
Nooooo you’ll run into issues following BMW’s maintenance schedule! Preventive maintenance is key, especially oil change intervals... Besides most people who run n54 engines buy them to tune and then get surprised the maintenance intervals on parts gets even shorter.
@@XXODD1982 I guess some might run into issues. But I based my comment on my experience with the BMW I had.
Just do whatever works for your time and budget. If the German car is digging too deep into your pockets, dump it and get something cheaper.
Unless your tracking it, all cars are basically the same under the speed limit anyway.
@@andoniades haha depends how fast one gets to the speed limit 😈
@@XXODD1982 Exactly, when it comes to BMW all you have to do is maintain the car, read your manual, change the oil, and not drive it like a manic. They will practically run forever if you do. People on TH-cam gotta blow it out of proportion like its hard to own the car.
I don't own a 335 but I'm in market for a 135i but could be persuaded to get a 3 series and the 1 thing I've learnt from owning a BMW (owned a 120d) is get to know or already know a BMW trained mechanic! Thanks to me knowing one I get all my work done at mates rates making it no more expensive getting the work done, it's just more expensive getting parts in UK. I might just take the plunge too and just buy my mates e92 m3 🤷♂️
You’re right when you say the 335 vert isn’t worth it though, thanks for saving me on this one
Good info and very true...I got bit by that with my 07 335i still today its relatively low mileage (112000) so appx 7,500 miles per year. Not only had it been poorly maintained (I bought it when it was 3 years old) back in 2010 with around 50,000 mi. But as you know the 07 w/ N54 was the first year with twin turbos and its never a good idea to buy a first year "anything" I had a 2002 BMW 330i M sport before that and that car was awesome, Never had a problem with it
This is a great channell¡¡ fun, interesting and practical, just perfect.🇬🇹👍
🙏🏼
I bought my first BMW 550i and dropped $4,500 in parts because of previous owner neglect but now it runs amazing.
Bro I feel ur pain I gotta 2010 e60 Smfh u hit everything on point that last owner got away frfr I damn near replace everything valve cover water pump all gaskets exhaust transfer case motor for the Xdrive belt tensioner drive pulls lists goes on but this video was amazing u hit a homerun wit the jewels u dropped blessing tho king
Bought a 2007 335xi new. Never modified. Extended warranty and maintenance plan. Well worth the cost. Once basic warranty was over it saved me about 20k from 45k to 100k.
Very informative
Hey man I’m trying to get a n54 your vid are very helpful thank you
Thankfully I found one with 68,000 miles. And one owner. Fully stock never been touched besides regular service.
Just got my 2011 e90 6 speed mt and I’m lovin this thing
So true, now I’m spending like 3k on parts on e92 n55. Every time I see a error code, it just pisses me off and don’t like fixing it and wasting a lot of my time.
I’ve had my 335 f30 for almost a year now and now I’m getting my valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket done
How’s your car been treating you ?
I Owned a 2002 BMW 535i shops told me it was going to be thousands of dollars of work but I did some research it was a module that cost $45 fixed everything that was wrong, the car was perfect and drove amazing everything I had to do to it was relatively easy to work on and it was kinda fun, if it seems like there’s something major it’s probably not,unless it’s a turbo or a water pump, ect but most likely it’s a Relay a Fuse or a module, TH-cam was my friend
Thanks for reminding me brother.... done that with an E38,... almost forgot how much it sucked and came here looking to get my son a 335i.... Glad I found this lol looking at the benz e350 now, probably similar situation.
Still have my n54 running 💪🏽 strong over 210k miles. Doing some maintenance this weekend to keep it running like a beast. 👊
💪🏼
I brought a 335xi 6 speed with 179k miles and still running strong for only 2500
@G I don't know the exact total but a rough estimate off my head, I would say about $1500 or a little over within 2 and a half years of owning it. I do all the work on it myself.
&it's been my daily
That’s encouraging to hear bought one for a steal at 140k a year ago ran into first problem today.
I have a 335i but man it was a headache but now she’s reliable here and there a little problem but its a dream 😄
I got a “lemon “ e90 for $1800 !!!! Rebuilt the DME with new mosfets , got some mid mile index 8s and it runs like a champ . I’m $2300 into a 400whp 335i . They are out there guys !!!
I gotta say I've always been an american muscle guy. But after watching a lot of your videos and a lot of maintenance headaches I ended up selling my C3 Corvette and bought a super clean manual F30 335i. I couldn't be happier. My new baby RIPS!
still have it? what has broken on it so far?
@@yungkaos3500 I've put about 20k miles on it since purchase, so the odo is at 130k now. Nothing has gone wrong yet. Been real nice to me so far. However I did put new injectors in and a few other odds and ends to make sure she's happy.
@@johndyer5045 still got it?
F30s are so pretty 🥴
Liked this video, I have a 2009 335I and love it, but it has cost me a lot of money. Not sure if I would try to talk someone out of getting one , just let them know thay need to watch this video first. Keep up the good work , yours is looking awesome, im leaving mine bone stock, but would like to add the elusive wide body
What do you think about the 440xi Manual? Thinking about getting one soon.
Thanks man. I appreciate you sharing this video. You saved me a lot of heartache and money lol
I wish I had jumped into mine after knowing the difference between the N55 and N54. I love my N55 car but at the time of purchasing it, I really didn't know I was getting a different engine. I saw E92 and jumped. 9 years later as I am more comfortable tuning it beyond bolt-ons I would have gone for a late year N54, 335is or similar. Dang "Twin Turbo Power" marketing was misleading
Lmfao, Story of my life when i first bought my convertible. Luckily tho i bought the 335 with the N55 engine, reliability so they said, plus the xenon lights got me. Anyway bro keep up the good work, and yes the e93 is cursed with no mods what so ever. 😔 fyi the oem xenon lights that i love so much where 250$ a pop, tf!? I pooped myself when i heard that 😂
Nice car bro I got the 135i m sport ash grey with the red leather love it everyday I get into it fun little car / drive safe stay safe 😷✌️🍻
“Unmolested” 😭😭😭🤣
My family has had a 335i since 2008 and it’s never had a single problem apart from the Electric roof
On point I rushed into buying a E39 now regretting it went for changing the tyres and wheel alignment, the mechanic told me that get rid of it not worth the repair cost.
Was thinking of getting 1 of these as a DD for my regular runs to the airport keep the miles off my trailblazer SS and Ws6 trans am. But nahh i think il stick with my LS motors. Great vid. Scared me strait
i bought a 330i in april by the end of my i had spent $2000 in repairs because everything went wrong very very fast , a couple of niggle things ive had since , and bought tools for the jobs in hand as well , some of the other jobs like break pad replacements and sensors i can do myself , but when i 1st got the car it was a very steep learning curve
I think the best advice I can give someone when thinking about getting into a new/used BMW is invest in the correct scan tool. Don't break the bank but you can get them for $100 - $200. It will pay for itself the FIRST time you use it to diagnose your car. I bought my car for a song ($3700) and it was a mess, but i am car guy and knew I was in for a challenge. You are right about the depreciation value they probably start going up in value if you get them low enough. Now the car is a solid daily the only difference is that i work on my own car to keep the ownership cost down. I will farm out certain jobs and pay the expense but never at the dealer always find a shop that works on these cars specifically. The one thing that bugs me is that parts can be expensive for this beast, coming from the e46 world. Need 6 injectors brand new? That will be $1200 please, WTF. Need to replace a water pump? The kit alone is about $500 and you HAVE to do that one yourself or you will drop another 800 to get a shop to do it. If you don't like crawling under your car or turning a wrench this car may not be for you.
yep inpa,ista d,winkfp,and a decent cable saved myself money ,ref boost issues,coil failure,failing battery etc,,,defo worth getting
GOT 2b the best lookin BMW in my book. That particular body looks like its Haulin A$$, when its parked. She is a keeper
I got a 2006 325i just waiting to be bought and I’m nervous AF!!! So I’m hoping you shed some light on this
Clean ass 335i 🔥🔥
do you think the 315 could be a good daily? I'm aiming at reliability, the least trouble free miles as I can get without going Japanese.
Great! Just when I was looking to buy one .
You can still buy one, just watch this video first 😉
I’m selling one
How much did you pay to get the engine out service/ refresh bro?
The car logo alone makes for a really nice shirt as well. I know it won’t help spread your brand, but you might make a little extra money by offering a shirt w/o Vehicle Virals written on it as well. 🙃
Will release some shirts in the future without branding
Thanks!
Bro this is a great walk through with your maintenance and mods as they put them together! I heard from this weird and whacked out scientist about an American made part that if you put in a Flux Capaciter . It was developed he lives in a place called hill valley. That will give you severe performance boost!! I believe he is out west now. Not sure when he is thogh🤔
Took me till now to see this. Didn't even know it was a feature. Much appreciated!
Amen brotha i cant tell you how many of my friends bought old bmws that obviously were not maintained properly. Valve cover oil pan leaks vanos problems. Unfortunately the list goes on but I really feel like this is a huge problem with all vehicle owner. If you dont wanna do basic maintenance and replace parts when the automaker/dealer tells you to that's what you get.
Great video, currently own an E90 330i N52 manual which is seen as the reliable god of straight sixes, needless to say the prev owner had just kept it decent looking and not done a single maintnance thing besides oil change...
Hopefully the Disa valve and ibs sensor are the last missing pieces of my puzzle since they decided to go bad last week
Best of luck!
What exactly do you mean by maintenance and how do I maintain the car
@@lostkhaz Keep up with the cars needs
My cars previous owner was very good on maintaining the car but he lent it to his father for 5 years... THATS when the service records stop and my current issues begin.
135i and 335i most underrated sleepers
I’m in the market for my first car and am looking at 335s. Would they be a good or bad idea for a car? I have a dad who’s worked on his cars since he was a teen and he’s trying to teach me aswell.
As a German I love the enthusiasm and emotions that our cars like VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc give me. But I equally as much love peace of mind 😵
Hello, I enjoyed very much your content. I have a question. Where can I order a good M3 sport front bumper for my 2008 e93 335i? I want to replace my stock front bumper. Thanks in advance…
Looking for an N54 but seems like the prices are going back up or something. I used to find alot for $3k and under last year in driveable condition. Now people are posting non running salvage titled cars for $5k up in my area. Some are $20k+ I think people are just crazy 😂
Got a great deal on a low mileage 09 e93 with 58K miles 2 years ago. I don't plan on modding it. Great weekend car.
