- Welcome to the 2009 BMW E92 328i. In today's video, I will go ahead and review this vehicle as well as explain why I believe it might be the next greatest performance bargain to come from the Bavarian automaker. This is a personal vehicle of mine that I intend to build for the track with the help of a close friend. As such, it is not fully stock and features a set of KW V1 Coilovers, BMW Performance Axleback, AA Catless Headers, Secondary Cat Delete with a Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator, and a set of Apex EC-7 Wheels in 18x8.5 all around to complete the OEM+ look. Everything from the vehicle's performance and driving dynamics will be covered, so be sure to stick around to the very end. Thank you for watching!

328i gets so slept on because of the 335i. glad to see you're giving it the love it deserves!
325i as well I own 1 an I have mine sitting on B14 Bilstein coil over some Motegi wheels with muffler delete an resonator soon to remove the secondary cats and put vibrant resonator on top of a lot of maintenance work done an more to come an although as he said there not the fastest car to drive there really enjoyable especially high speeds on sharp corners in the hills an them tunnel pulls or long highway drives just sooth the soul 😮💨☺️ just hearing that exhaust then randomly gassing it sheesh I can’t complain
It’s 2024 and this car is still beautiful looking car. The body lines, analog, N/A engine, just don’t make them like this anymore.
Looking forward to this upcoming summer with this car. Thanks for the video brother ! It looks & sounds sweet !
Thanks very much! Major update video coming around soon!
I’ve had my e92 328xi for over 7 years, and it’s in my opinion one of the best value for the money if you’re looking for something sporty, German, fairly practical for a coupe, reliable, easy to work on, and it’s got great comfort features and styling especially for its age.
The only bad thing about mine… is that I’m going to have to list it for sale within a week since we need something bigger like an SUV 😢. I’m definitely going to miss mine…
I remember watching one of your videos before I bought my BMW(I think you had a black 335i in black) when I was doing research on e92 cars. It was very useful. Thank you.
Yes, that was my old car! Thanks for supporting the channel and watching the review!
I've got an E93 and love the look of it. The repair bills are another story.
I have a 335i convertible and the convertible broke and now it just chimes every time I drive it, and I know I can’t afford to get it fix so I have to leave it like that for now 😢
The impressive thing is the N51 with the 3 stage manifold. The car has guts. It is really the ultimate driving machine. And the connection between car an driver you won't feel anywhere else anymore
, other than a million dollars supercar, that is the 2010 that I have with m sport package. Just incredible never owned such a car with this driving experience like this one, love it.
Is it kind to your pocket?
@@GamingHistory. The truth I can handle it. Do all the work myself. Don't trust mechanics or the dealership. Of course the only thing I have to pay for is the parts. And that in the world of BMW is a OEM no Brainer. There mostly everywhere. Great channel you have.
@@Rmmlom Thank you :D
Are you mechanically inclined or just a person who loves to learn?
Either way, I'm sure that there are certain jobs that are quite impossible to handle by yourself, pretty much anything that requires the engine to be removed or any sophisticated job like a serious transmission service.
I've been a big fan of E90's and E60's for too long :D wanted to get one so badly but it's just too expensive for me.
No doubt that the car in the video is one of the best sounding N52 engines I've ever heard, just beautiful man!
BTW, I'm not from the US, but California looks so beautiful and dreamy!
@@GamingHistory. Bro, I've been working on cars and trucks all my life. And BMW is no different. Of course there are some little things that can pull your hair out, but nothing anyone who knows can't do themselves with the right tools. Had to learn some small things but all and all the tech is going to be the same principle, with the use of computers or decent scan tools for that vehicle of course. The rest is a feeling to do everything yourself..and much,much, cheaper. Remember the mechanics charge for the (parts) and (labor) and that is what drives people away, not to mention the extra needed maintenance and time for exotic luxury cars. It's not like it use to be..! Now and days out of this world $$$. Anyway good luck, hope you find a project car, or Bimmer to start wrenching on...!!
@@Rmmlom How much did the equipment cost?
That means all the tools, jacks and scan tools
i forgot who u were because i subscribed to u after watching one video , in the first couple minutes of this video i remembered why i subscribed keep them coming🔥
Thank you so much!
i bought a 2010 328 x drive with a 6 speed, single hump and sport interior last year and the thing actually feels like such a composed mature car. She drives great right out the box, is kind to my wallet (so long as you take care of the weak points to the engine) and is a bang for your buck modern bmw. I’ve got it on some D Force LTW5s and waiting on bilstein suspension. love my car
Finally, I’ve been waiting for the next video to drop. Another great video btw, keep it up! Also why do those german manufacturers like mercedes and BMW make the most complicated alphanumeric names for their cars?
It wouldn't be a German vehicle if every aspect behind it was overcomplicated!
picked up my 328i e92 6 speed manual :))))! Alpine White on red she’s slow but she’s a looker :)
Holy fish that sounds amazing
Just wait until you hear it now! We’ve made a lot of changes for this track build. Will be uploading a video soon.
Ive driven many cars but something about late 2000s 6 cylinder NA cars (BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Lexus) always gets me. Such a happy medium! Cars were really simple at the time too! Newer cars all lack that analog feel unfortunately E9X are slept on for sure.
Couldn’t agree more. Very rewarding to drive.
I think we're getting old, because yeah I don't think I'm ever going to leave this generation of car
I have the same car 09 328xi coupe, absolutely in love
Yes, let's see more because that car has a great deal of potential all around. It's bound to be a collector one day..! By Vin# ours was made in Germany 🇩🇪 there is a big differenc in the driving and handling experience Compared to other BMWs made elsewhere. Just a superb Vehicle.
I plan on filming an update with the car soon! A lot has happened since this video as the plan is to convert it into a fully track-capable vehicle.
Wow you got at least $+5k discount on that example. Easily $+12k with the manual none gps sought after version of e90/92 .
As you seen on my picture I own one since 2008 and the steering feel match with manual transmission on a sports trim getting harder to find.
Best exhaust setup of any E92 328i by far. Absolute gem of a car, far more characterful than anything they are putting out today. What is the drone like in the cabin?
It's not bad honestly! However, I'm in the process of gutting the interior so drone will get much worse.
After comparing LCI to PRE Lci models.. i think i actually prefer to Pre lci tail light's
Get glasses
@@stevecariggillio4139 It’s all about preferences. The pre LCI with that smaller strip of LED looks cleaner. If you also tint the white part of the light out, it looks even better
bruh, the 328i E92 coupe 6MT is a gem; it gets overshadow by the 335i and the M3. With the right mods, the 328i can be an excellent daily and fun drive to car. Mine is a 328i coupe, 6MT, FBO SUPERCHARGED with a limited slipped differential. I'm pushing more power than an M3 with more reliability. Only issues: common BMW (i.e. oil leaks) and other periodic maintenance maintenance that normal cars have. Trust me, I had a 335 FBO, and it was always something breaking. I even smoke n54 450hp fools because my car is light asf too. This is where all the 335i fools get it all wrong.
What supercharger kit do you have and what are your hp/torque specs?
Do you have a mod list?
I cant wait to get one and mod it ☺
Nice car and color, i just recently purchased a 2011bmw328i 92k on it. Just got into the BMW craze. Next on my list is the m4. Good looking cars, i don't really care about making it fast just to run and not leak. 😅 I lied i wanna go fast to 😅😊😊
Congrats on the purchase! If you check out my most recent upload, you'll see that this car has changed quite a bit since this upload.
I'm currently building up a 328xi e92 n51 sulev. My question is did you have any complications with the catles headers. I've put a decent amount into it already. So I have a lot of things to go over if interested
No complications, the car has ran fine with them installed.
A supreme car
clean car bro did u put ur headers on without a tune ?
if you didn’t yea that’s the reason it’s running a little rough i was thinking about putting on my heat wrapped headers but a little scared to get a code thrown at me without the tune
No tune is on the car yet. However, I will be flashing the car soon!
@@AutoWisdomyou ever end up tuning the n51 ? rly concerned on which one to go with it ended up grabbing myself the same model just 2012 and got some headers just real indesicive when it comes to the tune
@@e92cruz_ I did, I still need to make a follow up video but the car has changed dramatically since I reviewed it. Went with a tune from a company called Chaos Calibrations. No issues so far, and have tracked the car twice now.
i love this calm thorough praising of the car then you call it a “porker” 😂😂
Lol! I'm just stating the facts.
Is it a bank account burner to maintain as a daily driver?
Not at all. N51/52 reliability has been great so far.
Pair it with a roar pedal and a tune it’s quick it’s not fast duh but it’s a perfect daily man
This is going to be a full-track car. It'll soon be very uncomfortable to daily haha.
@@AutoWisdomto be honest i’ve been seeing lots of people saying to single turbo the car to get the mosttttt power
have you ever gone to vital in murrieta I swear I’ve seen you around 😅
Why is my 09 e92 making a ticking noise?
Lifter tick under the valve cover? Heard some kind of liquid Molly engine lube will work
Hmmm. Sounds like your hydraulic lifters might need more oil. This can simply be solved by driving the car a little bit more and longer distances. Especially if you live in the cold, or only use the car for short drives. I got in the habit of letting the car fully warm before driving at all. Not time efficient in a hurry, but your car will love you for it 👍 Good luck!
What size of spacer u running on ?
If I remember correctly it was a 25MM rear spacer and 15MM front.
Bruh am i trippin or is that Gran Turismo music❤
Great minds think alike.
Where did you get that for 5500 great deal!
Facebook Marketplace!
I have a friend who has a 2009 328i. He got car from his dad at 60k. His dad purchased It new. It has 130k now. He said he would sale it to me when it has 145 to 150k for about 5k. It has a 6 speed stick shift like yours. He said it was a 4 cylinder turbo. Did they make the 09 328i with a 4 cylinder? It is well maintained. I am a former Saab guy...i do not know a lot about bimmers. Thanks for the video...
@@captainmorgan5449lol no 4 cylinder turbos started in 2013 for the next generation of the 3 series. stay away from those, gutless cars that aren’t faster than the e90s and weigh more.
@@e90baby
Yes, I told him he had a six. He actually has a N51 motor...car is from NY state
@@captainmorgan5449 nice. i have an N51. that car might be out of the threshold but n51 cars came with emissions warranties for 15 years so you could get free work done on certain parts at bmw dealerships under that clause. Great engine and it came with a stage 3 manifold which regular n52s beside the 330 did not. You could get a different tune for the car without doing anything and unlock a good amount of horsepower
sshhhhh keep it a secret
Why would anyone get a 328i when you can get a 335i for a little bit more? I always thought the 328i was for blonde teenage girls
Cause the N54 is a horrendously unreliable motor and the N52 is a gem
@@kbeau116 I guess, it's just so basic and boring. I'd rather throw a big turbo on a N54 and have fun with it until it blows then have to put around town in a 328i. I'd recommend this car to my grandmother or my aunt
@@kylep3759the problem is most people have 1 car so if it blows up then what? Naturally aspirated is more reliable
@@shawndon7374 Gay
