This is one of the most underrated cars of all time, and I like it!! Everyone thinks you're in a standard 3 series until they mess with one. Only two issues with the N54, and let's be honest, $400 for a hpfp and a couple hours to install? You bought a BMW, you pretty much don't care it's worth it. Turbo waste gate set-up issue? Who cares haha upgrade your charge pipe!! But, if you buy one with decent miles you're covered until 120k for those "problems" and with about $1200 in tuning upgrades it's a freaking beast!! Alpine trans flash?? Try that out!
@@KyoChuffy damn! Thanks for reviving a 7 year old comment! Haha I wasn’t referring to them being connected, although it reads that way! I think I was stoned and excitedly replying! I’ve long since sold my 335i and the kid that bought it inherited an amazing car! I made the jump over to Mercedes and turbo charged V8s! 🤘 still absolutely love the N54 engine!
Still have my 07, solid as a rock and I love it! I do pamper it, and it's not the cheapest car to own, but it puts a smile on my face every single time I start it up.
I bought one about a month ago. 2009 with 80k miles. Red interior like the one on the video. Your statement holds so much truth. This car is beautiful and elegant and fast , BUT parts are expensive. Mine is currently needing a high pressure fuel pump that cost 700 dollars without labor. Take that into consideration when purchasing these types of vehicles. Make sure you can afford the maintenance. Invest a little time and research and I’d say you can do a good amount of work on your own and save a couple yourself a couple hundred dollars. But again, it’s an amazing machine.
I’m looking at one in my small town for sale for $1,500 just needs a fuel pump. Taking it to get diagnosed this week. Hopefully gonna get this deal depending on mechanic opinion!
I'm buying a 335xi nothing wrong with it and maintenance is up to 120xxx miles then there is nothing wrong with it they said it's has 134xxx miles im getting it for 6,800 with 1,500 down this a cop?
Good review. As an owner of a 335i 08, I must add that the twin turbos can be a time bomb for $. If you need to replace them from the dealership, it will be about $6K+ (Parts alone are about $4K). If you're in the market for a used one, please set aside a reserve for maintenance because it is EXPENSIVE and one item can easily be $500+. That said, I really enjoy this car and I have added Dinan stage 2 that really adds a huge kick.
RFreigeldorff he was sitting in it prior with it running, he was telling us about the navigation, paddle shifters, feet space ect ect, it's cold outside (obviously) I doubt he was just sitting in it with no heat on.
+RFreigeldorff nice catch, but if you look the moment he starts the engine, the temp gauge does not goes all the way to the lowest, it actually sits a little bit off that....that means, the car has been running before that. But I must agree with you, these engines does not like at all being rev'd over 3k RPM when cold.
It doesnt maintain any value. No bmw does. You can buy this car all day in good shape where I live for 4-5k. I saw a gem a few weeks ago for 3k. They hold value worse than almost any other manufacturer due to constant issues and the cost of repairs. They are wonderful cars when they work...but when they don't, your pocket screams.
N54 is a great motor, mines done 140,000km and goes mint! Just normal stuff like injectors, valve cleaning etc and waterpump had been done by me, but totally worth it, bloody fantastic car!
Once you opened the door. I fell in love. That Brown is a dream of mine. Mercedes even has a nice Brown. Also rare. But I want a nice Beemer in brown. Nothing drives like a Beemer though imo
Ahhh... I remember when my Dad had his '06 330i. He LOVED that car so much. We even named it Scooter, because it was such a quick and silent little thing. We would have bought the car in 09 when the lease was up, but Bob Smith BMW wanted too much for the car. Sadly, we had to give it back, and we got an Infiniti which we did not like at all. Then, we got an Acura which we hated more, but now, my Dad is considering a new 328i, 340i or even an M3. I really hope he gets one, it'll be like a throwback.
Haha that's crazy! My dad bought an 06 330i new in 2005. It was his Christmas present and he literally put 10k down just to get the payment low because he was financing it for 5 years. He ended up selling it 4 years later when he was almost done paying it off (not that smart) LOL and we got an Infiniti G37 instead. He was afraid of the reliability in the long run. BMW was slower, but hugged the road better than the Infiniti. But we know the infiniti's reliability is way better than the bimmer's. The Infiniti still puts a smile on my face to this day :)
Buddy of mine bought one of these from some guy off Craigslist for $5500, he got it with 130k miles & so far no issues aside from a sluggish transmission. I considered getting one of these for a while but the reliability sucks.

I seen this car for sale last week for $3,000. It was all white, beautiful black rims and a full borla exhaust. By the time I could get the money together it was sold. I'm still crying.
My E90 has a very similar look except mine has a white exterior with an all black leather interior. I love the stiff steering, it really makes the car feel solid and sturdy at high speeds 🚗 🔥
We have an almost identical one at the Cadillac dealership I work at. Only difference is ours had the tan interior. I have to say I absolutely love this car! It's so powerful and handles so well! Just wish maintenance wasn't so expensive..
I bought one of these (2007 335i coupe, black) as my first car in 2017, I bought a warranty with it thank god. Very fun, but constant things needing replacement. And mine had less than 100k miles... The warranty company paid out thousands of dollars over my ownership of it. I only drove it about 7k miles then sold it. Next luxury car I buy will be a Lexus. I loved the BMW but never want the headaches again.

The 2008 BMW 3 Series 335i Sports Car Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, and Test Drive By Redline Reviews #2008BMW3Series #2008BMW335i #BMW3Series #MW335i #RedlineReviews
Good review. Been looking in the used 3-series market because I have an aversion for the comatose 2 liter 4 banger in the newer 328i models. I also think that this tiny "twin powered turbo" (not twin turbo) engine in the larger 5-series (528i) would be subject to significant stress when driven aggressively, as opposed to the older 6 cyl 325i & 525i.
I know its an older car, but you should do a review on a 2007 C230!! Id like to get your feedback on it. Ive been looking into buying one and there is none at my local dealerships and carmax has some but id have to pay for them to ship it. So itd really help me out if you can do a review on it.
I bought the same car 335i 2008 White exterior / beige interior This car is crazy fast ! But mine does not have a sport package Or navigation :) but I love it
Keoni Valenzuela I have the 2007 335i e90 without nav or the sports package and let me tell you it has given me hell. I bought it with 135k miles and I’m at 175k now. Everything from the alternator to the 6th cylinder has had to be replaced. I still love it to death tho
In your high mileage e90, what mechanical breakdowns have you experienced? Im trying to make up my mind whether it would be worth paying $3800 for my extended warranty. Has anyone spent over $3000-$4000 in repairs not maintenance or common wear and tear items? Thank you all who responds.
I have had this car for 8 years, and the cost to fix and maintenance the car really give me a headache. Something always break every years . It is extremely fun to drive though.
I'm getting a 2008 325i (as we dont have 335's in india) for abt 10k$ and 41k, auto. An ecu water damage was replaced at the dealership as per the owner and hasnt had any issues since. Good buy?
Chances the HPFP was changed under warranty so the only thing to worry about in these cars in the long run is carbon build up due to the direct injection but other than that they're awesome. That's why I'm not sold on direct injection because whatever fuel costs you save will go towards getting the carbon cleaned out every 2 years so you really save nothing but the companies will market it differently.
I think Audi is using both the port and direct injection method in their FSI motors so the intake valve gets washed with fuel. The new DI motors in the MBs are too new to have issues so time will tell. Right now your best bet would be to go with an MB with the older M272 unit, smooth as silk and bulletproof reliable except the early build ones.
"It's a small car." - Yes, in the US it is. Never heard anybody say this, if it was they were still talking about an E30. Current 3-series is large and heavy. Hence, they've made a 1 and 2 series. Which are ... yes.
Buy the 2009 335i E62 (Coupe) with 7speed dual clutch and the N54 engine. This gives you killer looks, power and fast gear shifts. Just check that the high pressure fuel pump has been replaced and then you good to go.
I got my first 11' 328i when i was 17. I payed real money for it too. Still am and proud. My next car is either the m3 coupe or the m3 sedan. Getting it soon too :D
I don’t know why the car didn’t start without the key in the fob, I have the same car n as long as the key is close, foot on the brake n push the button n it starts
I have a 335xi with the N54 engine, mated to a 6 spd auto. Its almost fully loaded sans the I Drive system (personal preference). Getting to the point: I think the 6spd auto shifts painfully slow if youre not in DS mode. I can eat a sandwich between those shifts.
My dad got an 07 328xi wagon for 20g last year it's by far the best car we've had but I do wish it was a rear drive 335i instead as it is a little slow (yes I do know the wagon was only available in 328i and 328xi)
Aidan Anchaya great first car, fantastic platform to learn from but the reliability is a shot in the dark. Get a pre purchase inspection and hope for the best
Kevin Ball Thank you. I’m currently driving my dads 2011 328i and I love it. But it doesn’t have paddle shifters and since im a car guy, I would like those or a manual transmission in a car. Plus this sounds amazing
Aidan Anchaya I don’t know if he mentioned it but the paddle shifters are very slow and are not the same as normal which are up for right and down for left I would really recommend the manual, that is what I have and I love it
Redline Reviews Avoid early models with the cumbersome iDrive interface? More like avoid any model with iDrive - you're paying a premium for a crap system. I have a 2008 535i LCI with the updated iDrive and I hate it. My 335i has no iDrive because it simply takes away from the driving experience. Sport package (specifically the sport models with the oil cooler) is a MUST. DO NOT buy a 335i without an oil cooler unless you don't drive it hard.
I don't understand it either. I guess it has to do with the fact that the steering ratio on most road cars makes it so that the paddles end up in very unpredictable and awkward locations during a turn, and it's always better to be able to reach to a consistent location for that gear change vs having to think about where it is constantly. But again, how often do you really need to shift during a big turn? Personally I find it easier when the paddles are mounted to the wheel simply because they tend to be closer to the fingers, without me having to reach very far.
When the paddles are mounted on the steering column they are always in the same place no matter how the wheel is turned so its easier to find up or down when your focus is on the road and the corners. Wheel-mounted paddles can change position when the wheel is upside down making up down and vice versa which is undesirable...
From experience: You're making a hard turn, you want to downshift, with a steering wheel mounted one, you're gonna have a bad time, because you don't sense where the paddles will be. With a column shifted one, you can do the shift because you know where they are by memory. Just like with a manual, you know where the shifter is.
If you're considering an M3, you should look into the 335i with the JB4 tune. Completely blows the M3 out of the water while saving you about 20-35 g's.
Of course go for you option if you only care about 0-60 beside the sound of a V8, M car has very unique style, like the hood, side grill, exhaust and the rims, not to mention about the m suspension.
In the video review of the 328i you said that you've driven the 328i a lot and you never get tired of it. Here you say that the 328i just bored you... Make up your mind...
Picked up a fully loaded 2008 E90 335i. Came with factory backup and I-Drive Auto with Paddles. The interior seems to be Carbon fiber as well, idk if its original. Needs a ton of work though but I have already put 900 miles on it without getting stranded. Not bad for $2k USD.
How is the car now? Im thinking of getting a 2008 for 5500 Canadian but the costs scare me a little bit. I own a 2.5 golf and this thing is super reliable but I want something more exciting
@@Vitor-Moraes That car caught on fire, its gone. I got another one with higher mileage well maintained and put nearly 4,000 miles already hassle free. The only issue arised recently where the car had overvoltage from the alternator's Voltage regulator. Changing it myself but waiting for the part. If It's fixed, thats the only thing that has stopped the car from running at really high mileage. No oil leaks or anything. Long story short, with these cars. It is not about mileage, its about how well it was previously maintained. I have realized though, these cars are not daily drivers. They can be, but something will go wrong at some point. These cars, especially now 11 years old are weekend cars or "fun" cars. If you can keep your Golf, definitely pick one of these cars up. The look on Mustang GT's and Charger Scatpack faces as I blow past them are hilarious(Just Downpipes, Tune, Intake, Intercooler amd off the shelf tune gives 400+whp easy and over 430wtq). It's really the Ultimate Driving Machine. It will get addicting. I am at 414whp, 448wtq right now. I will be getting upgraded turbos soon when I sell my other car and get a gas saver 🤣 and push about 550whp/550wtq.

Keoni Valenzuela I have the 2007 335i e90 without nav or the sports package and let me tell you it has given me hell. I bought it with 135k miles and I’m at 175k now. Everything from the alternator to the 6th cylinder has had to be replaced. I still love it to death tho
Awesomeness. Great review
I like the fact that there was multiple warnings lights when he started the car😂😂
I bought one today in silver so awesome! 37000 miles for my 2008 335i twin turbo!
How much
All e90 335i's have xenon headlights standard but an option for the 328i's.
Your fuel economy gauge seems to be stuck
Oops. I thought it was like the 330i
Thanks
Tbh, this 3 Series is the best one BMW has made. E90-E92 was just perfect in styling and driving dynamics.
In your high mileage e90, what mechanical breakdowns have you experienced? Im trying to make up my mind whether it would be worth paying $3800 for my extended warranty. Has anyone spent over $3000-$4000 in repairs not maintenance or common wear and tear items? Thank you all who responds.
I came here to see the paddle shifters response. wtf.
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing!
great review.......that is one clean looking used/old car
I have had this car for 8 years, and the cost to fix and maintenance the car really give me a headache. Something always break every years . It is extremely fun to drive though.
Elaborate. Like do you treat it like dirt 🤣🤣
just copped one of these yesterday and i love it "}
Xfadedcreation do all 3 series BMW's have to have premium gas?
+Tyler Plays0023 generally my dad says no matter what I have to put in premium when he lets me drive it
+Tyler Plays0023 agreed I only use premium on mine
Tyler Plays0023 owned an e46 320i for 3 years and always used premium, looking for e90/92 335i next :D
Tyler Plays0023 lol just realised you commented that over 2 years ago😂
Is a 2008 bmw 328i wagon a good reliable car. The one I’m looking at has 140k miles do these last a good time
E92 335i FBO for me. Roll on October!
Excellent review
Can u do a review of a 04-08 Toyota Matrix XRS? Nice review! I love the old 5-series BMW
I'm getting a 2008 325i (as we dont have 335's in india) for abt 10k$ and 41k, auto. An ecu water damage was replaced at the dealership as per the owner and hasnt had any issues since. Good buy?
Sounds like a terrible deal. Is it still working?
Can i get this car after I graduate in a month i have the money for it
Chances the HPFP was changed under warranty so the only thing to worry about in these cars in the long run is carbon build up due to the direct injection but other than that they're awesome. That's why I'm not sold on direct injection because whatever fuel costs you save will go towards getting the carbon cleaned out every 2 years so you really save nothing but the companies will market it differently.
I think Audi is using both the port and direct injection method in their FSI motors so the intake valve gets washed with fuel. The new DI motors in the MBs are too new to have issues so time will tell. Right now your best bet would be to go with an MB with the older M272 unit, smooth as silk and bulletproof reliable except the early build ones.
only to find out that the HPFP is going to fail again?
@ 9:38 "bitching and whining" hahaha epic
"It's a small car." - Yes, in the US it is. Never heard anybody say this, if it was they were still talking about an E30. Current 3-series is large and heavy. Hence, they've made a 1 and 2 series. Which are ... yes.
You could get the 3 series with all wheel drive since like 2000 not 2008.
we were referring to the 335i models
+bmwman67 Check Out my channel for 2012 e92 Walkaround, Exhaust, and Instagram Pics!!!
would this be a good first car?
Buy the 2009 335i E62 (Coupe) with 7speed dual clutch and the N54 engine. This gives you killer looks, power and fast gear shifts.
Just check that the high pressure fuel pump has been replaced and then you good to go.
Mark Tierney manual is better
My dream car.
I got my first 11' 328i when i was 17. I payed real money for it too. Still am and proud. My next car is either the m3 coupe or the m3 sedan. Getting it soon too :D
I don’t know why the car didn’t start without the key in the fob, I have the same car n as long as the key is close, foot on the brake n push the button n it starts
want to go from my '98 328i to this one, albeit the e92 style and xdrive
I dont know anything about cars. What was the black gunk coming out of the exhaust when he revved it?
Cold exhaust plus hot air equals condensation which picked up carbon. Not a problem.
335's have issues with injectors, probably unburnt fuel.
Terminus HQ. Solution is Shell v power

GottaC 13 you removed them?
"white with brown I have yet to see one of these combinations" said while looking at one XD
I'm thinking about purchasing a 2008 328i with 70,000 miles. Yay or nay???
Yes, i have one and it is great.
Yay but service it
Check the carfax for accidents and find out its maintenance records. if it all checks out you should be good :)
I mean i have a 335i lol. Same model year tho...
I hav a chance to buy one a 2008 119 k miles all service done at Bmr for 10 k ? What do u think ?
Too many miles IMO bmws over 70k miles take a lot to repair check how well it's been maintained
+totljag1 Check Out my channel for 2012 e92 Walkaround, Exhaust, and Instagram Pics!!!
+totljag1 I'd stay away from.. you'll be running into some costly maintenance at that mileage.
+Ca Nadian thepride (MrCanadianPride) how is the maintenance on the car ? any problems ?
10k is tooo much they are selling where i live for 7k or 8k
I have a 335xi with the N54 engine, mated to a 6 spd auto. Its almost fully loaded sans the I Drive system (personal preference). Getting to the point: I think the 6spd auto shifts painfully slow if youre not in DS mode. I can eat a sandwich between those shifts.
My dad got an 07 328xi wagon for 20g last year it's by far the best car we've had but I do wish it was a rear drive 335i instead as it is a little slow (yes I do know the wagon was only available in 328i and 328xi)
How would this be as a first car? How’s the reliability?
Aidan Anchaya great first car, fantastic platform to learn from but the reliability is a shot in the dark. Get a pre purchase inspection and hope for the best
Kevin Ball Thank you. I’m currently driving my dads 2011 328i and I love it. But it doesn’t have paddle shifters and since im a car guy, I would like those or a manual transmission in a car. Plus this sounds amazing
Aidan Anchaya I don’t know if he mentioned it but the paddle shifters are very slow and are not the same as normal which are up for right and down for left I would really recommend the manual, that is what I have and I love it
Kevin Ball Okay. Thank you!
8:39😍🤩
Ok.. so I'm not trying to flex but, I'm getting this car most likely for my first!!
Redline Reviews Avoid early models with the cumbersome iDrive interface? More like avoid any model with iDrive - you're paying a premium for a crap system. I have a 2008 535i LCI with the updated iDrive and I hate it. My 335i has no iDrive because it simply takes away from the driving experience. Sport package (specifically the sport models with the oil cooler) is a MUST. DO NOT buy a 335i without an oil cooler unless you don't drive it hard.
Why do some people like the paddle shfters mounted on the column instead of the steering wheel? Wouldn't it be easier to shift this way?
I don't understand it either. I guess it has to do with the fact that the steering ratio on most road cars makes it so that the paddles end up in very unpredictable and awkward locations during a turn, and it's always better to be able to reach to a consistent location for that gear change vs having to think about where it is constantly. But again, how often do you really need to shift during a big turn? Personally I find it easier when the paddles are mounted to the wheel simply because they tend to be closer to the fingers, without me having to reach very far.
When the paddles are mounted on the steering column they are always in the same place no matter how the wheel is turned so its easier to find up or down when your focus is on the road and the corners. Wheel-mounted paddles can change position when the wheel is upside down making up down and vice versa which is undesirable...
From experience: You're making a hard turn, you want to downshift, with a steering wheel mounted one, you're gonna have a bad time, because you don't sense where the paddles will be. With a column shifted one, you can do the shift because you know where they are by memory. Just like with a manual, you know where the shifter is.
Did you have it in sport mode or drive?
When you put it in sport do you have to shift or does the car do it itself
If you're considering an M3, you should look into the 335i with the JB4 tune. Completely blows the M3 out of the water while saving you about 20-35 g's.
Of course go for you option if you only care about 0-60
beside the sound of a V8, M car has very unique style, like the hood, side grill, exhaust and the rims, not to mention about the m suspension.
@@kakin121 all things that can be modified
In the video review of the 328i you said that you've driven the 328i a lot and you never get tired of it. Here you say that the 328i just bored you... Make up your mind...
Picked up a fully loaded 2008 E90 335i. Came with factory backup and I-Drive Auto with Paddles. The interior seems to be Carbon fiber as well, idk if its original. Needs a ton of work though but I have already put 900 miles on it without getting stranded. Not bad for $2k USD.
How is the car now? Im thinking of getting a 2008 for 5500 Canadian but the costs scare me a little bit. I own a 2.5 golf and this thing is super reliable but I want something more exciting
@@Vitor-Moraes That car caught on fire, its gone. I got another one with higher mileage well maintained and put nearly 4,000 miles already hassle free. The only issue arised recently where the car had overvoltage from the alternator's Voltage regulator. Changing it myself but waiting for the part. If It's fixed, thats the only thing that has stopped the car from running at really high mileage. No oil leaks or anything.
Long story short, with these cars. It is not about mileage, its about how well it was previously maintained. I have realized though, these cars are not daily drivers. They can be, but something will go wrong at some point. These cars, especially now 11 years old are weekend cars or "fun" cars. If you can keep your Golf, definitely pick one of these cars up. The look on Mustang GT's and Charger Scatpack faces as I blow past them are hilarious(Just Downpipes, Tune, Intake, Intercooler amd off the shelf tune gives 400+whp easy and over 430wtq). It's really the Ultimate Driving Machine. It will get addicting. I am at 414whp, 448wtq right now. I will be getting upgraded turbos soon when I sell my other car and get a gas saver 🤣 and push about 550whp/550wtq.
Nice Review Of 2008 BMW 335i 😁
I love your bmw sedan 👍😀😍
Looking at this car, but I'm wary of german reliability & maintenance costs. For anyone who owns/has owned one, how are they? Thanks!
I just got this car it's really fun to drive
Lies........i see a vw jetta in your driveway
Why Is Water Wet LMFAOO
I use to have 2008 335 convertible years ago and now the steering wheels are so loose! I can’t even drive anymore unless I buy an old car
Kind of tired of just seeing BMW reviews from you guys. How many 3 series are u guys going to review!?!?
BMW just has way too many versions of the 3-series to cover :)
2theRedline Can you guys try to find a 2008 acura TL type S and make a review for it? i saw for the base one but i want to see a Type s review! that would be great!
Redline Reviews Let me know if you want to come to Cali and try mine with tuned with JB4 and Pump flash. My 3 series is pushing some heat! The JB4 is a very popular upgrade and I'm sure a lot if users would love to see the reviews.
What? Redline Reviews has a lot more BMW reviews/walkarounds? That's music to my ears. I'll go check them out right away.
Keep 'em coming BMW$LIFE
You should service the car. Thats what the icon on the dashboard says.
2 door hardtop convertible 08 119k miles good choice ??
