I got one just like it u want it.

Nah, he said under 20k. They even cheaper now than when he posted it. You can find 1 owner, auto, beige spec e90s for 4000$ now. If you want nicer optioned car without the grand dad spec interior, and a stick they usually somewhere around 7-9k. Honestly I can't really think of a better "tuner" car option these days than an n54 bmw in terms of price : performance. Even the automatics are quite fun to drive, even if they wont be a track monster.

How often should you do it for ideal maintenence when fbo? Or will a dual catch can and pvc upgrade make it so you never need to walnut blast?

@@grantlong6586 it would all depend on how the car is driven. Quality of gas ect. I’d say every 70-100k. Surprisingly driving it hard helps keep them clean.

Any benefit in using valve intake cleaner? Eg CRC?

At 155,000 I guess I should get this looked at

@@grantlong6586 What are your recommendations for N55 motors…..How bad do they carbon verses N54 engines Thank you very much

Thanks man. We have a great video team and it's a lot of fun putting this stuff together.

Which LSD do u recommend I need 1 for my 335is?.

@@armandomarquez2517 m3 is the cheapest option

@@AidanRoldancan you put the Manual one from the e9x on it? Is it just a straight swap for the 335i pumpkin? ( my 335i is manual)

Glad you liked it!

Could it be a everyday

@@rowdyrocketeer2111 Absolutely. If we were daily driving this car, we might opt for a little less aggressive clutch, but even BimmerWorld admits that the multi-plate clutch is overkill. They just wanted to "future proof" the clutch against further power mods should they decide to do them. Chassis-wise, for Florida roads it's 100% fine. If you were driving it around Chicago or Indy it may be a bit harsh, but it's certainly not a tooth-rattler by any means.

yes, actually any 1/3/5 with the n54. The e60 gets slept on despite only weighing 70lbs more. 09 and on n54 had a few more kinks ironed out than 07 and 08 cars

@@rowdyrocketeer2111 Just passed California Smog. Mine has an automatic and the ohlins ride better than stock on most roads. I flash tune using MHD to dial in 500+ hp for the track. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZlhfdpq1M_Ffps.html

Here is BimmerWorlds build thread on the car: www.bimmerworld.com/E90-335i-N54-Project-Car/

I’ve had multiple techs tell me the exact same thing, let’s stick with it doesn’t have rod bearing issues.

In a track, they will go

Except 2007 is pre lci

19.9.5 +35 will need rolled fenders to not rub. I run 18x9.5+35 and they look the best. 19s on a e90 look way to big. The fronts will also no work if you do 19x9.5+35

@@stephenpeterson8694 awesome! What size tire? 265??

He is misinformed. There is no upgraded water pump for these vehicles nor does BimmerWorld state the car has one.

@@dave6933 they actually do sell an upgraded all aluminum water pump

@@wallyborrero4967 That’s modified, not upgraded. It’s still completely the same inside.

Upgraded is just full metal. I’ve had two water pumps crack on the plastic. You can make them run harder on sport cooling with mhd

I was surprised at this too. It’s usually the turbos, waste gate rattle

At the track they go

Fbo upgraded turbos here and yea shi is CRAZY just got he car about a week or two ago literally feels like ur just floating into that speed

I have 3.08 final drive with PS2 HiFlows. It does 160mph in 4th gear. Perfect for highway driving as well. At 65mph the rpm would sit at 1.7K in 6th.

@@WolfPack.F80Ray good lord tacted at 160 in 4th is nuts lol. What diff is that out of them M3?

@@4amigofilms51 I actually did more research and it turns out that I have a 2.56 final drive. The diff is out of a 335is.

Yea about the price of a entry turbo or supercharger kit for an N/A car.

The n54 and e9x platform have unlimited modding potential…

once you get over 500 it starts to get sketchy tho thats for sure

@@dirtye90 Not really, I know who daily’s a 720hp 335i coupe e93

@@dirtye90 you can say that again 😂! Mine was good for a bout a yr on heavy tuning and the 620hp mark. Like u said tho in a matter of time the more power the more issues will arise and more often. In the long run it's well worth the money to up keep when ur out there beating 300k cars and brand new cars in a 25yr old family sedan. I agree w u 100%

You can see all our lap times from the FIRM here: grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/firm-lap-times/ The CTR ran a 1:21.79

Couldn't find this bimmer on the list...?

No Not that I've ever heard before or experienced in owning two of these cars. I have a 335i with 309,000KM and no problems with rod bearings on either. Everyone NEEDS to remember these guys are trying to sell parts. So do research that is from a non part selling source as well.

They dont have issues on original power output but under more load and power pushing hard it can become a weak point.

they do make awd versions of it, the n54 is also plagued with other issues such as waterpump, hpfp, injectors and the list goes on...

Worth noting that everyone involved in producing this video was DMing each other ads for E90s for the next few days after we shot it. So far no one has taken the plunge yet, though...

But nearly all of us on staff has, at one time or another, felt the sweet sting of BMW service bills. What's the old saying? The two happiest day's in a BMW owner's life are the day they buy it and the day they sell it? Luckily there's great companies like BimmerWorld out there that understand our lack of judgment and take pity on us.

@@Grassrootsmotorsports hahah fair enough

This guy’s channel has a lot of good E9x content. He had a convertible first, and recently got rid of it and got the sedan. He also has a newer M5. Link is a new series of videos of him modding his most recent car from stock. Started out by doing a bunch of maintenance to get the car ready for the power. And he did use all top quality mods, so I’m sure he’s put a nice chunk of change into. But his channel/video revenue is likely paying for the build. Think he is still going to replace the diff with an LSD and a few more things, but at this point he just had it dyno’d at 700+ HP and just under 700 ft-lbs. The series is very informative for someone looking at modding one, and willing to pay a bit more than a “budget” project. And he provides info on all of the parts he has put on it. kzfaq.info/sun/PLXlrIzgLL2czup_8svWSwYjAc42ViEIQd

Buy a water pump and thermostat and leave it in your room. You’ll need it soon 😂😂

Sell it for a lot of money and buy a normal 35i for cheap and build that one and still have a lot of money left over.. thats what I would do

@@connercrowe4220 I would keep the AWD. Sure, there are some fun mods for the non Xi, but AWD puts down the power much better. I think you should sell it and buy a newer car though. That N54 is going to require a lot of maintenance if you start pushing it.

If you love modifying and working on BMWs than this is the car for you. There's plenty of potential but go with what has been proven on the track. You will have to deal with the cooling issues first in order to push the car at the track. Track alignment, wheels and tires will give you much bang for the buck. Stock rotors with stoptech sport pads work great in the front. Bosch quietcast in rear will keep the brake bias in check to keep the car from going into ice mode under very hard braking. I've tested this at a few different tracks.

Maintenance, then start with an MHD tune. Then BMS inlets. Then an inter cooler. Then a charge pipe+tial blow off valve. Make sure you have great tires, then get down pipes. If you still need more power, get a low pressure fuel pump upgrade, inlets, outlets, and run MHD V5.1 e40 map, this will bring it up to around 440 to the wheel, 500+ crank and tons of torque. If you still need more, contact Phuong Kai Vu on Facebook and get a custom e85 tune. If you STILL need more, purchase Viv 17T tdo4 hybrid turbos and a port injection kit, this will make 500-650 who depending on fuel choice. Then install a sway bar, KWV3//OHLIN RT//Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, upgrade radiator, upgrade brake lines, add oil cooler, and you’re set.

This is a 2010.

I've seen it being a problem if you go with aftermarket bearings. I went with wpc treated stock bearings. So far no problems after a few track days.

It’s become a much larger problem over the last year as we see older engines and cheaper vehicle prices. Lots of these cars were neglected or left with leaky injectors for far too long.

But the N54 comes from the factory boosted.

This vid is kinda sketchy tbh lol

Why? A civic type r, assuming it's a fk8 is a very very capable track car.

Yeah I do agree, the E90 just looks tougher, people go for the E93 1. Because they only want 2 door, 2. It’s actually more common then the e90

Except the N54 does NOT have a Rod Bearing issue. Go look at any other N54 channel and they'll tell you all of the internals on the N54 are very strong and reliable. Everything around it isn't though. LOL.

A fk8 type r would smash a 335i on track and most other so called performance cars.

Again, your comparing a relatively new engine civic to a 335i which was discontinued in 2014 or 2013, if you take any modern "performance" bmw and put it against the most modern civic, the result will always be the same, with the civic in the rearview mirror.

@@101cccp101 it really wouldn't.

E90 m sport is the best looking e9x… but only m sport every other e90 didn’t age well.
