"Diesels don't sell well". Only in the USA is that true. They sell amazingly everywhere else in the world.

There a couple of things this 335d guy did to do. 1) Go with xHP Flashtune, it'll adjust the OTS map and will adjust shift points, shift quicker and hold more power. 2) Stay away from JB4, it's a US base company which does override as lot of diesel restriction. 3) KW Coilovers are great but not for daily drive use. They have a very short lifespan and needs to frequently valve compression adjustment and valve seals service. Bilstein PSS10 is the best and most durable. Look into JR Performance for their tune package. With the 3" straight pipe, DPF delete, downpipe, EGR delete and new FMIC you'll be pushing 385whp/620wtq. This will put a lot Camaro SS, Mustang GT, SRT8 and ZO6 showboater in check whether racing from a dig or rolling.

e90

I approve. It's the only e92 with a dipstick.

Props to the owner for snagging the diesel. I've never seen one in person.

That much torque in a smaller car like that would be fun around town.

If I'm not asian or an overweight bearded dude, can I submit my car for your show?

It's a bi-turbo 3.0, one small turbo for low end and a big one for top In Europe the engine comes out 286hp stock and over 600tq on a tune alone Probably the best bang for your buck car that you can buy

Matt needs to test drive one with a real tune, not a JBD piggy-back. There are a handful of 335d owners with hybrid-turbos, custom exhaust, bigger intercooler, methanol injection and a proper tune; making 400+WHP and 600+WTQ.

In the North-West UK, you slow down when there is a black BMW 3 series behind you, because it's an un-marked cop car checking your speed. Maybe the Audi driver was from the UK :) lol

Great car! The 335d didn't sell well because dealers didn't have a clue how to sell it. That motor is a torque monster and is fantastic in the X5! The 2.0 litre diesel in the 328d is pretty great as well, although no match for the power of the 6 :)

I had one of these in 2011 and I so regret giving it back to the dealer after the lease thinking they'll keep making them. I truly loved it, and will take it over most new cars out there any day. Great power and handling. I really will BMW woudl bring them back. Good job guys!

EGR delete - solve that carbon problem.

My dad’s friend has a silver 335d on black rims. He let me drive it an hour up hw 154 in Santa Barbara. The torque is amazing in these diesels.

This is a very legit upgrade from my E90 323i. Test drove one of these when they first came out and was very impressed! That Torque!

Finally! I love these cars. I'm waiting for the 535d's to come down in price. That torque is so addictive.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the amazing videos you put so much effort into, I will always watch full adds, only for your channel! Been a fan for many years, and will continue to support! hope to be able to share my ride with you one day!

I absolutely love these cars for real... And they sound amazing

Here in the Uk i have converted a 335d e91 to manual using all 330d m sport parts, running 360hp 700nm. everything has held up well.

I own a 2011 335d love it! Glad a recent video has been made!

535D tourings are basically the perfect daily, and absolute torque weapons on the street for a sedan, if you do the usual diesel mods. Comfortable, practical, quiet, luxurious, economic, fast, hauls. You dont really need anything else. Real dual personality.

The latest BMW 335d comes standard with a 313hp and four wheel dive here in Europe. I just can't understand why Americans don't like diesel cars...

I have a 2016 328d sport wagon, I love it. I hope Matt gets to test one in the canyons soon.

I have the same car with the same tune - absolutely a blast to drive and with complete comfort. Was great in the winter also with snow tires in Michigan. And great MPG for a heavy car. Love this damn thing. Glad you got to drive one, Matt.

Rollin coal in my bimmer.

discontinued for not selling??? the 335d was the best selling performance diesel saloon in europe

Love the wheels and stance. Nice clean setup!

Never even heard of it, lol. Pretty damn cool car. Nice mix of practicality and fun - especially with that gas mileage!!

So 265 hp in the states? These are 286/306 hp in Europe. Anyways, they are pretty fast and hard to keep up with in a straight line.

here in belgium u see alot of diesels 335d and 325d /330d is the same engine and with bigger turbo u can get up to 450hp/ 900nm at the crank! great video.

matt your working out is working pretty well , you looks very strong and fit now !

what a lovely man. exemplar One Take etiquette imo

Please don't be ignorant of diesels, there is much more to it than torque severely underestimated. And its not just for trucks and heavy transport, there are very sporty sleek cars that run exclusively on diesels.

How often do you change the spark plugs?

I had a 335d x drive and its was phenomenal. 309 bhp and a whole shed load of torque.

Love my 2011 335d, bimmer diesels for ever! I've done egr delete, def delete, swirl flap delete and tune. It's a beast! Saving up for intercooler and turbos now.

So Psy has a pretty interesting taste in cars. Nice.

If you remove the EGR and DPF from these and give it a straight through exhaust you'll get 400bhp and 800nm torque ;)

One of the best cars I have owned !

That's one well done 3 series, the I6 diesel is just the perfect daily engine.

This car is sexy, and those oem wheels are clean!!

in europe stock is 286 hp. The new 335d is 313hp.

BEAUTIFUL! Looks like my favorite, the E65 745i. What a shame BMW couldn't get the bugs out of that car. It was one of their most unique models.

Interesting car! I remember going to see these on the lot a few years back when they first came to the US. It definitely doesn't sound like a diesel from this video.

Mat i have a 2002 Honda odyssey. Would you like to do a one take? Mods Built 3.5 sohc vtec block custom twin turbo system(garret gt35 turbo) twin walbro fuel pumps 1200cc injections custom turbo back exhaust and all the bolt ons coilovers sway bars strut bars chassis braces roll cage Recaro racing seat with takata harness gutted interior full aero kit and wing 20 percent tint 8000k 55w hids on stock reflectors ;) 20 in volk te37 ps. it's a itasha car from front to rear... I left no panels untouched lol

for all the diesel owners let a tunner erase the egr cycle out of the ecu remove the exaust gas cooler (part of the egr sytem) no more carbon buildt up saves alot of money power and diesel!!

Car looks incredible

Sick 335d. I think these will hold value better than their gas brothers over time. I wish i picked up one new.

Has Matt drove a k or b swapped civic?

The 335d is incredibly frugal on gas, in fact even during a long road trip, it doesn't use any gas a'tall! 😂

I own a e91 330D with a tune. I do alot of highway runs. Best car ever for that purpose! Get around 38 mpg and driving well over the speed limit at all times!

Keep the BMW videos coming!

Does America get Alpina?

in europe there are way more diesel than petrol e90s but i prefer petrol engines though

thanks for all the variety in your videos, Matt! I watch these religiously. One concern I would have with a diesel is the added weight over the front end, with diesel engines typically being heavier. Did you notice any effects on the handling from this? I know you've driven a few different E90s now.

I've got the older version of this (e46 330D) and the power/torque is brilliant, it's quick enough to keep up with a 330i, with a map and an exhaust it's quicker. Plus the 6 cylinder sound is brilliant, this video doesn't do it justice. (Have a video showing it.)

Carbod clean up is easy add diesel kleen additive to the tank it adds 5 full points of cetane. Since usa diesel is crap at 45 cetane make a double mixture to run around 55 cetane take it on highway and let it have it. It will clean it out and look like it did when it had 10k miles. I drive and rebuild semi truck engines i seen on a daily what soot does to oil egr and cylinder walls if not maintained soot has fine dust particles that will leave scratches on the walls. i recommend running diesel kleen every fill up to raise cetane up to 50 its cheap 500 gallon mixture is 40$ and you will feel the difference in performance and mpg

these did come in manual,just not in the US

That's the best version of BMW 3 series so far.

Heh, I also went from Conti DWs to PSSs and yes, those tires are in completely different leagues. I'm really not a BMW guy but I have a growing soft spot for E90s and the 335d usually makes me double take. Good looking car!

Why am i not surprised he said he came from a Honda Accord LMAO

How come the US doesn't really like diesels? In the UK a diesel BMW is probably more common than petrol ones due to the better mileage.

love your channel brother.. subbed

I have the MK6 TDI with stage 3 malone tune and its amazing!! Amazing power and 40MPG

Here in Germany you can get the 335d with a manual, but not the new F-series. I really dont get why so many german cars are so different on the american market.

Is driving a manual the new manly thing in the US? In Germany we are used to a MT and it's nothing special. I do understand the envolvement argument. But a nice Mercedes or ZF auto or a good Doppelkupplungsgetriebe(Doubbe clutch gearbox) is a nice thing. Why have Americans become so obsessed with a MT?

the power up in the revs is due to being a bi turbo engine, it has a small turbo for low revs and a BIG turbo for high revs. in the us those cars might not be that popular but in europe, they tune those engines to insane levels of power and torque.

Great car...always regret not having had one.

Matt! Review my black F355!

Apparently they have less hp in USA? in Europe they have 285 stock. Just a stage 1 chip they get up to 350 whp. And this guy tuned it to 305? And torque is also way lower. 700 nm torque is usual here for a stage 1. The 335 needs a straight pipe also to make a hell of a sound. This one seems a bit boring even though it looks good.

My god its so silent compared to the usual reviews! I usually listen to this and don't watch but I felt the need to continually look back to see what you were doing because I couldn't hear the loud noises!

Perfect daily

+THESMOKINGTIRE it probably didn't sell well because Americans associate diesels in cars to frugality and low fuel consumption, and this was more of a performance diesel

Loads of great cars come from germany. Small country comparing to the U.S. .. Pretty weird right...the just.smarter i guess😂

One of my dream cars..

You should get the xHP trans tune for those with the auto platform in diesel cars, these tunes work far better than any other option you have out there.

where can I listen to your podcast?

sucks that in america we hate diesels.

So I'm not sure if it'll work on the Diesel engines, but I put the Alpina B3 TCU tune on my N55 E92 and it completely transformed the car. Shifts are lightning and rev-matches downshifts too. Highly recommend it.

are these different for the UK cars? the UK cars come 281bhp and 428 ft-lb

Nice diesel performance car. But....what is the point of a performance car that rubs under load? Poor setup.

That car is gonna be a nightmare to own down the line. Theres a reason why they didn't sale. People love to praise a BMW but fail to acknowledge the serious problems.

Nice car, Frank. 28 MPG on that commute +1

My neighbor has that car but we're in Oregon where he was able to delete it with a trans tune along with engine tune. That thing gets going. WOW

Dude said "it's only $500 to have carbon removed from a gas engine" shit....must be California prices. That's high as fawk.

You can tell he doesn’t know a damn thing about his car 😂

What kind of lip is that?

Those black and yellow California plates are the new trend, pretty soon the white and blue will be the rare ones.

i would say this owner isn't sure about anything...

diesel engines dont add up 10 k more than gas i dont care if it gets 100 mpg you are already in the whole with the purchase then maintenance doesn't add up if you have the money to buy a diesel what do you care about mpg when you chip those cars filters are the first thing to go

One of the very few not-ugly BMW's from post-2000

This is awesome. I have 2018 328D with KERMA TDI tune. Its hauls ass. Im lowered on Bilstein B14 coilovers with lightweight wheels and 275 rear tires, wish Matt would come drive mine as well. Im in Diamond Bar, CA :)

Finally a decent car. 3 series for the most part are shit cars that people lease and try to act boss. But not bad overall.

wow another 3 series bmw how cool is that.. lol...

I have a 335d currently. I have had the dpf removed, egr blank, swirl flaps removed and stage one remap. 360bhp and 700nm, live in UK.

How do you know when there is a "Build up carbon" issue which needs to be serviced?

i own one of these. love it.

Does this diesel engine have a lower redline than its gasoline counterparts? If so, does the car have taller gearing to compensate or does it feel like it runs out of gear early?

Great car, I’ve got the ‘11 325d, the baby straight six and I love it, I’m only 22, got it at 21 so Insurance is quite a lot (£1400 last year - £650 approx this year) so insurance skyrocketed for the 330 and 335, plus this was the only car near me. Still love it though👍

You guys in the us gotta get in to the diesel game. Here in europe 335d is really common and stage 3 software with slight modification to the intake gives 408hp and 850nm from the wheels. Thats some power for diesel
