I adore the E92 design, I have always liked it since first seeing it in 2006. It's a timeless design and hasn't aged a day. I already previously owned a 335i and loved it. I got rid of it when we had a baby but now I want another E92 and this video sold the car to me all over again. Great video. Subbed.

I've been driving over 30 years and have had way too many cars to mention, probably in the hundreds, including new and nearly new. I bought my pre lci E92 330d as a stop gap after my e36 m3 got stolen. I've now owned it for a personal best 3 and a bit years. I absolutely love the thing. It's now on 152,000 miles and still going like a train. Best car i've ever owned. Thats why I've spent too much money on it, all new suspension bushings, Bilstein B12 kit, remap, Quaife LSD etc etc. They're fast, great handling (in a RWD way), great looking, fairly practical, reliable (mine has been anyway) and does 40mpg minimum. Great car!

Torque of the Devil I couldn’t agree with you more! I have found my car to be totally reliable, never given me any issues, it just works!

Not all facelift/LCI do Bluetooth audio streaming. This is a feature introduced in 2011 if I remember correctly. The reason that the M3 didn't get the LCI headlights is that the front bumper needed to be changed to fit the "droopy" LCI headlights. I don't like the shape of the LCI headlights anyway. It makes the car look less aggressive. Looks much better in the dark though. 335i : no LSD and weak points are HPFP and turbo. M3: LSD, more grip but higher cost and risk of engine catastrophic failure.

@BobbyDrives 3 жыл бұрын

Roy thanks! Appreciate the comment. I still prefer the LCI lights as it makes the car look newer, but everyone has their own opinion! I agree with the M3, expensive when it goes wrong!

Great review, thanks! Lovely motor, am also a fan of the grey with the red interior, looks quality. Handy you can stream your music via blue-tooth! I have a non-face lift 320i and it has the USB-In as well as the AUX-In. For the face-lift models is the USB-In option still available as well as the blue-tooth?, would be handy to have both? Am curious what you have inside your centre arm-rest (I know some models have the cup cooler)?

@BobbyDrives 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks for the compliments! It’s a lovely combination. Having audio over Bluetooth is just so handy. You’ll see in the video what I have in the centre armrest. I still have the Aux but no USB. The USB is now in the glove box(mainly used to update the Satnav) and enough to charge my phone, not sure if it can carry audio however. Yes some do have cooling cup holders in the armrest, I did the E93 M3 recently and that had it! Great option to have! Thanks for watching! 😊

@daveisasdavedoes3558 2 жыл бұрын

Nice video. Just an FYI, the pre-facelift car was an M57 not an M54. I've had a 335i and currently own an LCI E92 M3 along with an LCI E90 330d and it's cheaper to won than a 335i, the M3 is a lot more reliable. While the M3 is a bit slower in a straight line vs a tuned 335i, the M3 is a lot faster when things get twisty.

@BobbyDrives 2 жыл бұрын

Hi David, yes you’re right on reflection I realised I got the engines totally wrong! I did a review on the E93 M3 and it’s absolutely lovely, great car and reliable if you treat it well. My 330d was also awesome, similar to your e90 😊

What are your thoughts on the 335i e92 with n52, and is it a fast and reliable car?

@BobbyDrives 2 жыл бұрын

The 335i is an awesome spec and engine. However i am told turbos are likely to fail after 10 years or so. But if they have been looked after, then you should be okay. Definitely fast though!

@sabo_974 3 жыл бұрын

The M57 is more reliable than the N57 plus here in germany at least you pay same taxes and same insurance, so of course people will most likely buy a 335d before the 330d. But if you want a manual gearbox or an xdrive you have to get the 330d cause there is none in the 335d which is a shame :( I will go for the 335d cause people said its more reliable has noticeably more power and fuel consumtion is about 1 liter more which is fair enough for 41 hp and 60nm more... Of course one which is not chipped and been taking care of... Cause I also heard that the N57 on the 330d is more stable for remapping than the 335d !

@BobbyDrives 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Sabo, I agree with you. I love the 335d and they are seriously fast cars, not many people expect it from them. However they’re quite rare to find a decent, lowish mileage and hasn’t been messed around with. Whereas when I found this 330d, I could tell it was a clean example, so I took it! ☺️ still great power too!

Others are telling me those BMW's are so defective . Is it true?

@tazay4253 3 жыл бұрын

I have a 2008 320d M sport Manual. I be honest, the E92 is a money pit particularly the N47 engine has a time chain problem, that gives out every 100,000kms plus or so. And if the seller hasn't provided you with a record of them changing that timing chain just save your money. It's a really fun car to drive especially in manual but damn it I was unlucky I got one that needed quite a bit of work but I love it. Final advice? Find something with numbers on the ODO as far south from 200000kms as possible you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
