Interesting that Mister Regular says Australia is on top of the list for new adventures. He'd blend right in with the bucket hat and high-vis t-shirt.

Mr Regular became a BMW bro for a month, this feels unreal

Mr Regular, I own two 335i's with n54s. I'm also an independent mechanic who has worked on 335i's as my bread and butter for the better part of 2 years now! Massive fan of ya'll, glad you got an n54 in your hands. I wanted to say, it's probable in your car's situation that the boost solenoids/wastegates are not closing like they should be. In that segment where he floored it on that ramp, it should have been struggling not to spin the tires from the moment he hit the pedal. Looks like the car builds boost VERY slowly compared to a proper example. This is why I believe you are having to downshift on hills. In either of my 335i sedans, at any speed as long as I am above 1500rpm, I have NEVER had to downshift for a hill. yes, just 1500 rpm. You should be able to build at least 12-16 psi of boost that low. That's how nuts of a change it makes to the driving experience to have these wastegates/boost solenoids working properly. I've been with ya'll since 2015 and you finally got one of my favorite cars.... I'd damn near be willing to take a day or two off work, and come fix that thing for you guys ahahah.

gotta say this car looks very modern for a 15 year old car. I guess that says something about how little has happened in car styling in the last 20 years

I'm not a BMW guy by any means but this car looks really good to me. Its lowered just right on black wheels and its a cool shade of blue and the car is clean AF. I'd drive the snot out of that thing for a few weeks until something inevitability breaks.

I worked with a kid at a software testing shop that had just landed his first gig there, making all of like 35 to 40 grand a year. He and many other people there used to give me a hard time for willingly driving a 90s Miata. Everyone there had a sickening compulsion to prove out their worth through possessions -- cars, first and foremost. First thing he did with his newfound "fortune" was run out and buy a brand new 335. I remember the little T-Rex arm (his worked) and thinking how absolutely dumb it was, knowing it would inevitably break and be gratuitously expensive to fix (and thus never be fixed). He immediately drove the car like a typical BMW owner. Of course, he could not afford the car. Within a couple months he had to promptly trade it in for an Avalanche. This was over a decade ago. I'm still driving the Miata.

I, as a German, am always bewildered when cars like the 3 series or the C class are called business people's cars. In Germany you have these if your business doesn't run that good.

After all the nut references I don't think I would want to drive that before it gets detailed

Bought my daughter 335xi manual for 3k with a 220k miles and still runs fast, fun car to drive, great winter car.

That seat belt claw thing has to be the single most ridiculous feature I've ever seen on a car.

In Italy these BMW 335i were sold in a very strange period. And was just the beginning of the decline of the automotive scene over here. Around the years 2000 road tax was “affordable”; dentists and other professional not-so car enthusiasts had enough wealth to buy M3s and 335is as imports from Germany just so save few bucks. But here comes 2007. At that time the Italian government needed cash, and immediately. So they called for “austerity” and what they did was add a second road tax (on top of the regular one) were you essentially had to pay 10€ for every KW after 185KW. Some dude in the government simply decided that anything with more then 185KW (250ps) it’s considered a luxury item so needed over-taxation. And boom! All of the sudden these folks that bought these 335i could not afford them anymore overnight. At a personal level, at that time I had two relatives one with an M3 E92 MANUAL and one with the 335i. The weeks following this “double road tax” both of them sold their BMWs for nickels. I believe the manual pristine M3 sold for 35K€ (the same as my new Golf GTI MKV at that time). To me the E92 M3 and 335i marked the end of an era in Italy, where people could actually own nice thing. Now the tax is still in place and you simply can’t have nice cars; even a pedestrian mid size SUV with 275ps it’s regarded as a luxury item. My relatives ended up swapping their hot bimmers with hatchbacks. I think I cried when I knew the M3 was gone. EDITED: just fixed some spelling.

Those seatbelt things are gonna make Tommy Fenstemacher bust

Those headlights in your rearview mirror are more intimidating than any truck bro wishes he could be.

I enjoyed your little battle with the turn signal at the beginning.. lol.. all bmw drivers have been there.

First car I bought myself as an adult was a used 2011 335i in 2013, that started me down a rabbit hole I’m still in today I’ve always maintained that these were the best daily drivers out at the time. It’s a shame they’re going through their cheap used car phase and subsequently being destroyed right now. Such fun, nice, comfortable, cheap (if used and maintained properly) and quick enough to have a moderate amount of fun even as stock

I don't need a beige interior in my car. I can just *BUST IN MY MOUTH AND KEEP DRIVING*

A friend of mine had a 335xi. Same year, same original colours, same trim package. He was on a mad power trip. He bought it on a whim after giving his '09 Impreza to his sister. He didn't even know how to drive manual and bought it manual. Instantly replaced the fuel pump, and had constantly electrical issues. He gloated that it made 400hp & 400 torques (it didn't), and constantly floored it. Purchased the sport exhaust to make more noise and chip tuned it. He got in two car collisions. Both times was parked. Once at a gas station, and once at a stop light at an intersection. It was put on a flatbed tow truck outside of his house about four times because it wouldn't start. He proceeded to sell it to a man in town, and then bought a used 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation for $10,000 too many dollars. The power trip continued. Fast forward to today, he got married, and now owns a 2020 Volkswagen Golf wagon because his friend owns the hatchback version.

As a millennial E92 owner that just got back to FL from NJ on I95 (yesterday!) I feel vindicated with this video. Thank you so much mr. Regular, thank you.

I'm getting a strong Phil Ken Sebben vibe from the bi joke at the beginning and I absolutely appreciate it Mr. Regular

Instead of wrapping it and putting rims on it, you should have taken that money and fixed the suspension.

I've got a UK 325i from this era and I love it(first car at the age of 37 after years on motorcycles). Completely stock but it's great fun.

I've been waiting years for this video

That missing tow hook cover tho

“Australia get priority” liked and have fun driving on the correct side of the road mate

Lmao, once I heard the "bust and keep driving" joke at 2:46, I went right ahead and liked the video. That joke really caught me off guard 😂

Bi just means twice the chance to BUST!

I was lucky enough to grow up around some really fun cars. We had a 335i in the 4-door, and it was one of my favorites to daily. Quiet and comfortable in traffic, but fast enough in the straights with just the right amount of oversteer. It drove better around a back road than the newer 911 we had at the time. The only thing better about the E92 M3 was revving out a V8 to 8500RPM. The N54 with an intercooler and a tune has at least the same power for half the price. Can’t recommend them enough if you can afford the BMW repair bills

That is the car I learned stick in. It was "Juiceboxed" and what a treat to drive. I also remember seeing the "DTC" button and giggling because it probably stood for 'down to cuddle'.

This car was important to my development as a non-douche adult because I realized I had been a very lucky rich kid when my dad surprised me with the first 335i in our city for Christmas 2007 when I was 22. It helped me understand how privileged I was when my friends had 1995 Eclipses, 1997 Neons, etc. My dad is a lifelong BMW head and wanted to share his love of them with me more than anything, but in the end it made me appreciate what he had worked for and never looked down on anyone else for not having something that awesome.

Something tell me, as much as he couldn’t imagine owning a bmw, mr regular has a soft spot for these mid 2000s to 2010 bmw. This is the second E92 he’s reviewed, and the third bmw with this engine

Every 3rd video is now a “giveaway” and I think it is really starting to impact the quality of the channel. This is the 2nd video I’ve seen in my queue and immediately thought “great another giveaway”. This is an easy way to cash in your hands and puts vehicles in the hands of people getting in over their heads. It’s one thing to mod a car and generally have a handle on what’s been done, even if you’ve paid a shop to do it. I suspect the people who could easily handle taking over a car like this are not buying mugs for the opportunity to win one. What if they sell their reliable daily beater because Mr Regular gave them an epic new BMW? How long until something *very* expensive breaks? I also choose to disbelieve that well modded, nicely taken care of, safe vehicles are being “given away” there is a reason these cars are now subject to a raffle, the previous owners must be thrilled to be rid of them.

Mini Cooper R50/R53 - BMW and Rover design + an Chrysler engine, and a nightmare to maintain/work on. You know what you need to do.

You really got me by the ball bearings on this one Mr. Regular. I currently daily a E90 in Monaco Blue. That E92 is what I originally wanted. I’ve already placed my order in for the mug, hopefully I can take this bad boy home. 🤞🏼

I'd love to drive around in that for a few days before it turns into a money pit

I regret selling my E92... It was only a 330i N/A, but still, had so, so, much fun in the six years I owned it... Great cars if you take care of them

It’s always funny to me to see a 335i without sport seats. Like, “you bought the sportiest version, why didn’t you get sport seats?!” 😂 Also… I spy a Cadillac Cimarron - does that mean what I think and hope it means?!

It's amazing how modern a bright "new color" and black wheels will make a car look brand new.

I'm sure the Stan Rogers reference went right by everyone but it's those unexpected moments that keep me coming back and watching every video.

“I get it as I drive this car around”. You and me both, Mr Regular. I had a blast driving the E92 335is when I was on vacation in 2017 but it also made it clear why BMW drivers are... well... BMW drivers. First of all, the turn signals are so frustrating to use for lane changes that I completely get why BMW drivers don’t signal. Second... a powerful E92 makes you feel like “huh, I actually AM better than everyone else on the road”. It feels somehow like it’s just, more car than a car typically is. It’s hard to describe. You just pull maneuvers that would feel sketchy in most cars and in the E92 it feels as effortless and relaxing as a spa day.

That shit-eating grin when letting off the blow-off value was everything I needed today. I've found my tribe.

As late 90s/early 2000s baby, this has been and always will be my favorite BMW

Always a happy morning when rcr drops a new video

“The box says 10 horsepower” gets me every time 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂. Got to love those HOT air intakes

I love how you have this pretentious egg headness. Then you start acting like a silly boy as soon as the turbo spools, and blows off. I like it. You may look like a hipster. I think you genuinely appreciate cars. Thanks for your 10 minutes of entertainment every week and all the work you do to make that 10 minutes of entertainment.

Was cool to meet you, and see this car! It’s a nice one. Thanks again for everything!

This was the last car my granddad drove (he’s not dead, just not in a condition to drive any more) and I’ll always remember it because we took a road trip in 2018 for a couple days to visit an auto museum and his brother. It wasn’t one of these exact models, it might’ve been closer to a base model performance-wise (or maybe even a diesel, I can’t remember) but it was an ‘07 3 Series regardless. Had a convertible top too but because this is Britain, it didn’t get much use.

The official car of "You can't arrest me, my dad's a lawyer".

A German engineer will walk past a beautiful woman to F a mechanic.

I love my daily driver:. 2007 335i e90 with sport package and sky blue plasti dip (blue quartz), black interior with aluminum trim...so nice. I run it stock although I've had downpipes and inlets plus MHD in a box for a couple of years, lol.

Something is wrong with this car. If that was flooring it on the on-ramp then it’s definitely missing a lot of power. You should be blowing the tires off at that point.

1:35 I love seeing him check for an opening, and then proceed to miss a giant opening because he was looking at the camera

Is that a Phil Ken Sebben reference from “Harvey Birdman” at the start? God damn, I love you guys ❤️

I don't want a mug. I don't want an NFT. I want a hat or shirt, or sticker... If I'm gonna throw away $50 for a 1-5000 chance of winning a car, I at least want to buy something I actually want lol.

We all exhibit "BMW behavior" at one point or another, but driving a BMW acts as a catalyst that increases the frequency and intensity of such behavior. It's like getting that extra sweet treat because it's your birthday, and then acting like it's your birthday 4-5 times a week and your doctor starts talking about DPP-4 inhibitors.

Depreciation?! In an automobile!? In 2022?! No way, that 3 has to have doubled in value for 2022.

I'ts really hard to watch these videos in the office without headphones. Getting some strange looks on poop jokes :)

That’s a wrap job? BMW did have a color pretty close to that shade for a minute…I thought “Wow, nice Petty Blue Beemer.”

My first manual car was an 09’ E90 335i, god I miss her

I’ve had a love affair with E9X’s since I first owned one in ‘13. Since then, I’ve owned 8 E9X’s. 335i, 335xi, and the lesser known but no less magical 335D. These are my favorite cars of all time. I like them more than my current C7 Z06, more than my GT-R, more than anything I’ve ever driven. The steering, the engine, the everything. They’re driving bliss. To me, they’re heaven on wheels.

You're gonna have to come back to Massachusetts one of these days. I'm going to tie you down and force you to review the best Volvo in the world, the wackiest Volvo in the world, and 75 different Cadillacs. This is a threat with a good time.

The Blow-off valve flexing made me LOL...for real...out loud...

by the way you can cancel your indicator by slapping it the same direction to save yourself from accidentally flipping back and forth trying to cancel it.

I ate half a melon yesterday, great Pfizer manhood pill themed wrap.

Did I just see a bmw turning on its turn signal?

In 100+ years from now, when scholars will study KZfaq for cultural content, Regular Car Reviews will likely be among the few channels that will receive academic attention. Not so much for Doug Dumaro…

When you get to Australia, I have my 1977 Holden Kingswood ready for you to review.

"Low, low, low, low, low when the whistle blow!" You know you were thinkin' it.

These things still impress Middle aged women just as much as they did in 2007. Once they’re in the car they appreciate it

So much soul in this video! Excellent job. I cracked up so many times especially at the 28-year-old woman joke, too real! After a few videos being phoned in this one’s great thanks man. Whoda thought it would be a BMW video.

Boys remember the Most Wanted E46 *Men* remember Ray Krieger's E92

As someone who also has a daily with a blow off valve, i can sympathize with 10:36. All the time, every time. Bad days are made good, and good days are made gooder. I've had it on there for about two years, and I still love it.

Soooooooo Fannnnncy. OGs remember

regular reviews were better when the cars were regular.,.. but hey good luck with your legal gambling scheme

Glad to see you ditched the bandana wrist warmer. Although it's the perfect condiment for an E92.

I appreciate the Randy Savage glasses

If Australia is on your bucket list I would hold off for a few months. We are in the middle of an El Nino event at the moment so it's very cold and very wet (at least on the East coast).

The Nissan Altima is the Pontiac Grand Am or Grand Prix of today, rode hard and put away wet. I almost bought a 328i coupe from this era in that Monaco blue, but fear of maintenance costs scared me off.

I had a 2007 335i coupe. Black on black, very sharp. Bought it used, of course. Loved that car.

another stan rogers cover in this one!!!! ty mr regular

I appreciate that you focused on that preying mantis on the trunk lid as a visual comment on your subject, without saying a word about it.

Dude? that Franklin reference? This is why this is best car channel on ze internets.

Sometimes I feel like this show is a parody of itself. And it's better for it.

+10 points for the Phil Ken Sebben reference. Ha ha! Bi-curious.

Oh, damn....I see a Cimmaron review coming!!!

There's a 335i gently rotting in my down lane neighbor's barn. I resist the temptation to ask him about it

Mr. Regular pulls on my Gen-X nostalgia today with girls named Tonya and interiors without video games mounted on the dash. Fire up the Wayback machine, Sherman.

First regular comment on a regular car review! I have never seen one of this drive around without an exhaust mod and a young Turk at the wheel...

I have a friend who owns one of these and yes it's one hell of a blast to drive. I also say that because i drive a 140 hp civic. Once I get back in my econobox I'm like *hey why isn't it fast when I put my foot to the floor*

Though my volvo 240 doesn't have a bov it does make a nice woosh when you let off boost and I do the same thing I will see a nice car go right up to the open window and woosh

Gotta love a Stan Rogers reference about Northwest Passage

Based on the road signs and highway-markers, I think I did see Mr RCR in a Sheetz off of 61 in May. The more you know.

2 Months ago I bought a post-LCI e92 (2011 335is - still has the N54, but up-tuned) and I'm in love it it. If you happen to be around Florida you should come take it for a drive to compare.

I enjoy the contrast between the tuned, lowered, sky blue race bro exterior and the beige-brown-black octogenarian interior

Those piezo injectors, thats short for piezoelectric. Piezoelectric materials expand slightly when electricity is applied. They're used instead of electromagmets to open the fuel injector nozzle. They open and close faster than conventional injectors, and they're responsive enough that the onboard computer can make changes to how long the injectors open for or even how many times per combustion cycle on the fly. Almost all modern diesels use piezoelectric injectors. they're expensive though. Piezoelectrics are also used in high precision measurement devices, since the process is reversible, applying pressure also results in an electrical current that can then be measured and used to determine how much pressure the device experienced.

Mr.regular is slowly turning into the dudebros he swore to destroy lol

Blow-off valves sound like a mating tortoise. Breathe in, squeeky exhale. Breathe in, squeeky exhale.

I'm glad you were able to do another 335i review, finally showcasing some of the tuning potential they have, maybe next you can review one with a single turbo 😶

thumbs up for 2 things. the absolutely amazing commentary, especially the intro before the engine closeup, and the ADORABLE mantid skittering across the boot lid.

WoW a BMW driver that actually uses his blinker, I guess he filled his blinker fluid that morning huh!

I really love that mr. Regular leaves a few mistakes from his reads in the final video
