In this video we take a deeper dive on my 2011 E90 BMW 335i to see what its like to drive and use as a daily driver.
Fitted with the N55B30 engine, this is a really great stealth daily driver, offering both high levels of comfort and performance, soundtracked by one of the best straight six engine notes around!
Hope you enjoy the video!

Love the 335i. I have owned a F30 335i, 2 E90 335i’s and a F80 M3. I currently own a mint 2011 E90 335i M Sport M Performance Edition. They don’t make them like it anymore, never will.

@@steadybreeze1443 Yeah, but I've got a E82 128i tho. I've done M3 front control arms, dinan camber plates, koni orange + eibach springs (should've went with some KW V1 or something like that honestly) 335ix rear swaybar (biggest OEM sway bar possible other than the M3 which is too aggressive for a "daily" without an LSD), F30 4 pot brembo brakes with HPS+ pads. I might forget a thing or two 🤔

@tbirdboy 2 ай бұрын

I've had the pleasure of owing two different 335i's (e90, e92). Neither one gave had major issues aside from some leaks being remedied by my independent mechanic. The power of the N54 was mind blowing due to it being my first entry. The n55 was great but not brutal. As far as this review it really personifies my current view of the 335i. The host is low key, not getting too flashy but thorough with the analysis without getting too complicated. Well done.

183k miles 2006 330i Daily driver manual trans fully loaded sport packg. I LOVE THIS CAR. I have a 96 328i that I bought to mod but I like the e90 so much I want one a n54 one as well to play with not daily. People really don't realize how good these cars really are. If you can turn a wrench you'll be fine. Millions of youtube videos for maintenance.

@@AnthonyGonzalez-zy5zm sorry to hear that man. I sold the E36 yesterday. And I honestly don't know if I should sell the 330i and find a N54 LCI sedan. Or stay in my lane be happy driving this with no anxiety lol. Then get a c5/c6 for the weekend car 🤷

@@Vgk36 haha it happens. I paid 7k for the 330i at 80k miles and it got totaled at 170k miles and my insurance paid me out 9.3k witch ended up going towards my 335xi so it worked out fine lol. And tbh you just have to find a stock one with low owners and all maintenance records and you won’t have to worry about anything breaking as long as you stay up on maintenance. Selling the 330i would kind of hurt the heart but the tun-ability of the 335i will soon make you forget haha. And corvettes are dope man, that would be nice

@mry82 Ай бұрын

Good review! The previous owner of my e46 sold it after he bought a manual e90 335i (twin turbos)... I still maintain that the e46 looks best, but that is probably partly just to make myself feel better as the e90s grow on me, haha.

@samcourt6228 2 ай бұрын

The N52 was short lived in the E9x cars being quickly replaced by the N53 which can be a royal pain in the arse. Biggest downside to the N52 in the E9x cars is that most are auto and the engine suits the manual better. The E9x cars are aging well in my eyes (I’ve just sold my E92 335i for a Z4 coupe).

is the stock exhaust on this car? it sounds amazing.

@muradcarson 2 ай бұрын

most likely the BMW PPK, which was options when purchasing the, comes with the PPK (power performance kit) tune which adds 20hp and more torque, a more agressive burble noise, aswell as a faster 0-75 time, if it has the PPK 2 which comes with the tune and the Performance exhaust which sounds amazing.

@FootToPedal 2 ай бұрын

Yeah as far as I'm currently aware it is the stock exhaust, but it does seem loud compared to others I have heard on KZfaq. Can't see any PPK stickers in the engine bay and the exhaust itself appeared to be the standard one but will need to do some more digging to see if I can find anything!

@marcalfredmaligalig2594 Ай бұрын

Your dash has the engine oil temp? Is that standard for 335i? My 2011 328i xdrive has the l/100km or something like that.

@FootToPedal Ай бұрын

Yeah the 335i, similar to the M models, has the oil temp gauge on the dash. It's a very useful one to be fair, but would be good if you could also more easily see the coolant temp as that is not displayed

Yeah pros and cons to each, F30 has the ZF 8 speed and also later versions of the N55 which are more reliable, but most people say the E90 is the better car to drive. Depends what suits you best!

I picked up a cheap audi A4 3.2 V6 a couple years ago, I refurbed the wheels to dark grey. However with the car being deep sea blue, the wheels looked way too dark, ran them for a year then changed them back to silver. Much, much nicer on a dark coloured car.
