Really, 100k + miles on an N54 is definitely high mileage. Half of the engine, cooling, turbos, internals, drive system ... need to be replaced. So, make sure you know which engine to discuss
Paid $5900 for mine with 172000 miles. Basically everything around the engine was somewhat new including turbos with only 50,000 miles! Had it for almost four months now with zero problems.
Looking at a 07 335i with 180,000 has modds and replaced the water pump and hoses... dude wants to trade for my hayabusa and car is repainted as well and has roll cage. New brakes but has the known valve cover leak
I have an 08 with 93k plus miles Nd I’m fearing it’ll just start having all kind off expensive issues . I like flooring it . Oil gasket is due and I’m waiting to get paid currently to do it . Should I worry about anything else ?
just be careful regardless. i got a n54 at 87k, ran it on bolt ons and ots with e30 for about 3 month. one day it was fine and the next day it had the worst wastegate rattle ever and wouldn't hold any boost, now im going on3 Single turbo. these cars are a shot in the dark on the used market, but well worth it if you know a thing or two about using a wrench.
I'm 17, I'm thinking about getting an e90 335i, hopefully in the next 1-2 years I'll get it. I'm currently saving hard for it and extra money for parts incase it breaks down.
Bought an 08 335i back in February with 106k only major repair was my water pump and thermostat. I’m glad it was covered through a 3rd party warranty company. My turbos are also covered so I’m waiting for those to go out.
What company you use for repair insurance I'm looking into car shield but sounds too good to be true. $135 a month covers all engine drivetrain a/c components.
I bought a 328i and I put almost 20,000 miles on it in the last 5 months only thing keeping me from buying a 335i might buy one n keep dailying the 335i
Hey man, just bought a 2008 335i with 106k miles. All baskets were replaced last month with year warranty. Hpfp was replaced at 30k miles or so and is in good shape. I took the 2nd cats off and muffler so I have just the cats on down pipe. Since I did that my car will slightly have white smoke come out back on start when it warms up after a minute or so. If I drive it the smoke goes away completely and then when i stop and idle for 1-2 minutes it will come back. Turbo seals are fine also. I believe it is either a clogged pcv valve or it's the whole CVV system under the intake manifold. What are your thoughts. Hopefully you have had some friends or someone experience this. Car runs fine. Doesn't loose coolant and oil levels are good. No loss in power or strange gas mileage. Can not figure out what is wrong with it besides those 2 possibilities. Love the content and we would like to see anything you feel like filming. As long as it's about the 335 ;)
I actually just bought a 2009 BMW 355i coupe with 150k for 4K of Craigslist. I won't lie I'm a little scared because it does smoke white smoke sometimes, not all the time but sometimes. I have a buddy who is a mechanic at BMW who's going to help me when's he had time. Pray for me lol
It is usually the PVC valve 98% of the time. Installing a catch can as well... fresh walnut blast.. and you’re good to go for a long long time! (If anyone needs this info)
School is important please choose something worthwhile lol. I’m sure you will. Also I love my 335i your channel helped me decide to upgrade from my 328i.
@@anasvint so far I've had the car for almost 4 years, it's now pushing 200k miles. The first year i changed out the coolant pump, spark plugs and coil packs changed every 6-9 months, tuned it with mhd stage 1, second year owning it I swapped out the power steering pump pulley and serpentine belt, third year swapped out the alternator and replaced all gaskets, transmission gasket/fluid/solenoids replaced. Altogether a lot of work but it has been basically maintenance free for the past year and a half aside from basic oil changes and spark plug replacement. The car is definitely for someone with a garage and a good tool set, or it will be well over what you paid for the car in maintenance alone.
@@eddzilla7553 appreciate it man i'm looking at an 08 335 tomorrow with 133k. He told me he changed water pump and thermostat hope nothing else needs to be done
@@anasvint take it for a 15 minute drive if you can, if not ask if it can idle for a bit to get it up to running temp & try to smell for oil leaking in the engine bay. Also check to see if the exhaust is smoking while idling. Ideally try to drive before buying though! Good luck on your purchase, the car is definitely worth all the headaches it will put you through 😂
My dads giving me hos 08 e90 335i with 176,000 miles it I’m going to tune it and put an exhaust on with cool air intakes hopefully it last me a good while
you guys are awesome with info. I have had my 2013328xi for about 18 months.( thank you to everyone input when purchasing). I had the oil changed oct 2017 and have driven about 10k miles since then. recently the oil light came on and wanted me to add 2 Qts. i decided to go get the oil changed since it had been a year. BMW insisted i didnt need an oil change or new filter for another 6k miles/Oct 2019. That would be 16k miles/2 yrs between oil changes. Is that normal? Thanks for all the input i advance.
This isn’t criticism, just video suggestions since you asked. I love all your videos. But It would be cool to see more videos of you actually doing the mods/repairs/projects ect kinda taking us through your process. You talk alot about the repairs and mods on your car but it would be cool to switch it up to some how to’s to follow those up. Also, I saw someone else suggest it, detailing video to show us how you keep your car in mint shape. (Budget Mod vids are also always really cool). But whatever youll post... ill be watching haha. Keep it up and good luck in school.
I bought a 2003 bmw 325i with 180k miles and also salvage title. I rlly like it for my first car but I’m also thinking to upgrade from outside not a turbo but what y’all think? Or I can swap the engine??
Have you changed the transmission fluid at all? Coming up 90K and some people say to leave it as its lifetime, and some say change it. What are your thoughts?
What coilovers do you have and how do you like them? I'm thinking about upgrading the shocks on my 335 but I might go with a good set of coilovers instead. I want to improve handling for the track without sacrificing too much ride comfort on the shitty roads around town
I went in today and was quoted 550 to start and then $430 a month for full coverage under my name. 18 year old with a clean record in California. Yikes
Erod Media no offense but if a couple hundred to register and a couple hundred a month for insurance is over budget do not buy the car. You will need about 100-300 a month extra in maintenance and oil and upkeep for the car. Average of 3-4K a year to maintain. Well worth it if you like the car but you gotta commit
I bought my latest e92 manual for 5500 salvaged title and did fbo, wheels and suspension. Its been a blast! But yeah always stash money for repairs even if it's mint condition.
Nathan Schultz If you are a DIYer get the 335i but make sure you look up all the issues that way you know what you are getting into. If you want the more reliable 335i get a 10-12 335i with the N55 (single turbo.) It does not have the tuning potential as the N54, 07-09, but it will still be a quick car. Really important to get one that already has the oil cooler so find one with the sports package (paddle shifters if an auto.) Very early ones that were made in 06 did not come with an oil cooler despite having a sports package so look out for those. As for the 328i the coupe is the most appealing but be sure to find one with year models 09-12 328i sedan/coupe with I Drive and comfort access. The 328i eliminates all the issues that 335i has minus the common oil leaks. The I Drive and comfort access can be applicable to the 335i of any year as well. I have an 07 335i with 123k miles running about 16 PSI like a champ. Keep up with the maintenance (especially the oil leaks and the serpentine belt) and it will treat you right.
I'm trying to decide between getting a 335i a e39 m5 or just keeping my e39 540i. I was trying to decide which car would be more reliable. Anyone got any advice?
My e39 540i is on craiglist right now and i bought a 2010 335i about 4 months ago from a bmw dealership. Being straight up the 335i is ALOT more fun to drive and of course very tunable but I gotta say they are Very finnicky!
Personally Id go with the 335i. So much room to grow in terms of power and such and amazing sounds system and just a newer car in general. I also wanted an e39 m5 but i believe you will feel like your in a very similar car still... Cant lose with either tho
Damn bro you said you bought your car for $9k? With 15k miles on it?? In 2017??? Bro thats a steal. In sweden a model just like yours with the same package and milage would cost around $14k in 2019 😅😅.
Thinking about buying a 2010 335i xDrive AWD Coupe with 88,500 miles on it for 12k. Has all services records and all had been done at a bmw dealership. Think it’s a good purchase? Only downside it’s an automatic. But the car is sexy af
High mileage bmw 100k Miles ? I would have expected over 180xxx to be considered high That’s not High mileage

Really, 100k + miles on an N54 is definitely high mileage. Half of the engine, cooling, turbos, internals, drive system ... need to be replaced. So, make sure you know which engine to discuss
