Drop a comment and share what you love about the E90 / E92 3 series!

I have a 2010 328i E90 with the N52 engine. I agree with you 100 Percent regarding this series...one of the last-best drivers cars and they do look great. I will never get rid of mine.

I really enjoyed the honest and straightforward review of this platform- thanks for sharing your thoughts on these cars. 👍🏻

I’m so in love with my e92! You are spot on with the assessment that it is in my opinion as well the absolute perfect daily driver! It’s sporty and undeniably fun but it also takes care of business with style! It makes my daily travels so much more of a high point in my day! I have a manual transmission though because I’m super passionate about that! It’s one of the reasons I got this particular car.

I agree with the style of the e92. I have a 320i se coupe 2008, 4 cylinder, 2.0. I love it. The power obviously does not compare to the M Sports or turbo but I love the sound and look. I wont be selling this generation E92 for a long time. This is the beginning of my BMW collection. Next will be the 330i M sport.

I recently got myself a 2007 e92 330d auto (which was a bargain buy) and i am in love with it!after refreshing the car, I have modified it abit to make it look abit "mean" if i shall say and also has a 1.5 stage tunning.I just love it!

I think you said everything perfectly about the e90 on this review

Great to hear your thoughts on the n52 engine - lots of power, reliable and fun to drive without all the complexity and maintenance of the n54/55.

Good Video! - I am in MN and own a 08 335xi 6mt, M-Sport and Cold Weather Package. the car is stock. The torque is just glorious and in Winter, denser cold air, the car is SUPERVE. - If anyone out there is scared of the N54 engine, then they just have no idea what they are missing. The E90 335xi N54 is SO much fun and rewarding. -- Cheers!

I have a E92 330i 6MT with the N52B30, here in Germany it's the 272 hp version, very rare because not even one year later they introduced the N53B30, very unreliable compared to the N52. I've had it for 8 years now and will keep it. I could basically sell it for the same price I bought it 8 years ago today even though I put a 100.000 km on it, but I just love this thing too much to sell it. I knew I had to have it back then, because it's the last 3 series Coupe, and naturally aspirated.

I just feel like the e9x was really the perfect combination of luxury and performance looks; even the F30. As for the models, I own a modified 335i and honestly, I absolutely love it but owning one comes with a commitment to maintaining and putting money into it. I always suggest going with a 328i if you don’t want to basically “pay” for performance (since the N54 is HIGHLY modifiable BUT requires a LOT of maintenance). Otherwise, it’s worth every penny. The M3 is on another league entirely.

2009 335i Sport Package first BMW and so far it truly is the Ultimate Driving Experience :-)

Yes, I have a 09' E92 Built responsibly to 740whp, and yet I can drive it around calmly and it is just as comfortable as almost any of my family members family cars. This is one of the ultimate sports cars. It doesn't drink nearly as much fuel as the M3, yet I can build it well beyond the M3. The decent sized back seat is actually a HUGE back seat for a sports coupe. The trunk is also huge, and when needed, you can lay the back seats down and make it an SUV. This is the most versatile and timeless car I've ever owned. And I've had just about all the common named sports and muscle cars at some point, excluding most of the super high end ones. Although I have had a Porsche and an Alpha. While driving this car around with TC and Stability Control on, it's still the most fun car I've ever owned. But here and there, you just need to turn TC and SC OFF and get a thrill that lasts for quite a while. This is truly an amazing machine. And while I agree with you almost completely about the interior, I did upgrade my interior with a new digital cluster, which works/looks phenomenal. I also updated my iDrive to the latest Android 11 head unit, because using the phone and map on that old iDrive sucked. The newest Android HU's are super fast and they still have all of the BMW menus and functions. And having wireless 'Android Auto' right there at a touch, is such a convenience to the entire driving experience. Also with Android being open source, I can customize this head unit any which way I like. Simply put, this car is a beast, and IF, IF, IFFFFFFFFF you truly do all of your maintenance properly, it is a seriously reliable car. I know I will get flamed for that comment, but I've owned six bimmers and not one of them has ever put me on the side of the road. knock, knock, knock... Mine have all been reliably great cars, and I kept one of them well over 200K miles, and it was running as well when I sold it as it was when I got it. That's why I continue to purchase ONLY BMW.

I just bought my ‘05 E90 N52 330i and every time I get in this car, it makes me smile. Purring when it’s appropriate, growling when it’s necessary. The design makes it all the better for me, it’s a beautiful beast. Thanks for a cool video that validates my purchase even more😄

Picked up 2007 e92 325i with 53k miles. Absolutely love it.

As someone who has a family and still wanted a sporty car to mod and have some fun with, I'm glad I got a 6speed E90.

Love my ‘11 335is hit the nail on the head in this vid

This will add to what you just pointed out regarding the 90s. My first BMW was a F 30 therefore a newer one but I never felt satisfied with a four-cylinder engine or the handling and power it provided. Then I look at for a 6 cal inline and at that point I didn’t know about the E 90 platform. It was serendipity but amazing. Yes I was amazed by the power, handling, steering wheel, driving experience, everything. I wish I had access to your videos by then. But again, it was a very nice surprise. Best car I ever had no questions about. And I keep it original in style, engine and suspension. Thanks for your videos, buddy

Totally agree E90 feels amazing

I just love my 330i N52 too!

I love my e92 n53 325 m sport ❤️, but sadly its high milage now so its having its usual faults 😢😢 but that aside its easy to work on, and even when driving rough its still the best drive you will ever get, Ive driven sooooooo many cars in my life, but nothing makes me feel like this model of bmw, the e 3 series no matter the model is a true drivers car, sadly mine is not turbo charged but it dont need it its plenty fast enough, handling is amazing and mine I believe is electric as has no fluids, or extra pulley on engine, this allows engine to not loose power, I ❤️ it so yes guys I agree get one trust me you wont want to part with it 👍👍

As for manuel, not in traffic. My 2010 E92 N51 Cali of course, automatic is great driver's cars. I have the m sport package, racing seats, sunroof, air, leather hydraulic steering, lowered etc. As for turbo models if you want speed great, but I prefer the ultimate driving machine just Cruz the city streets And enjoy. And as for depreciation no way they are little by little coming up in value because the N51 52 are BMW bread and butter smooth power naturally aspirated engines which are getting harder and harder to come by, and if yours is in very good condition no matter the mileage it will keep its value because nothing really looks like it on the regular car market. It's just a blast to drive. It's a keeper. Just remember you must do the maintenance religiously and you should be good to go...! BMW owner and fan for some time. Keep u'm coming and your up grade's.

I agree! Great video.

Great video bro. I had a e92 335i manual sold it for a F30 335i msport. But it doesn't worth it. I'm missing my e92 so much. It drives better and look sexier. I'm going back

I really enjoyed listening to you and I agree with everything you said! I can happily say that I am also the owner of one e92 2 months already and I am in love with it! It's NA motor, 2.0 170hp N43, has 103k km. It cost me 11k euros, but considering it's in m sport package, I could not leave a chance like that. The car is truly something special, even if it's not v6 or v8. All in all, I feel your love for e92 and I feel it as well hahahha

That saddle brown interior... Damn

Amazing to drive, just wish it would work more often :)

My e92xi manual weight 3800 with me in it. And i'm 200Lb. That's after a muffler delete, down pipes, upgrade to Msport wheels and got rid of the run-flat tires.

I have an 2011 LCI E90 with 328i xDrive with Steptronic Transmission. I have 141,000 miles on it. I never really played with the Steptronic. I was wondering what your thoughts/opinion on the Steptronic transmission was if you had any.

I bought e93 335i n54 with 43k miles for 10k & installed LSD and stage 2 mhd tune with charge pipe and bov and it’s 450hp for under 13k it’s still have so much potential with upgraded turbos and about 550-650hp under 16k $ and that’s cheapest HP on the market with nice chassis nowadays!

Just bought a 06 330i absolutely the best car I’ve owned

totally agree, except avoid the 335i for daily use, not reliable enough. I drive my 2011 E90 daily and take the Porsche out on the weekends. I'm a big Porsche guy and the E90 has that great non-electric steering feel, enough power and torque and refined quiet ride. Parts are easy to acquire as they sold hundreds of thousands of these. The automatic is pretty good, no dual clutch, but with the newest GM1912 updates applied to the car and a 330i free tune its fast enough and fun its not just the extra horsepower and torque but the throttle is faster to respond, you will lose 1 MPG so decide if you want that for a daily, don't bother with the 3 stage intake manifold, yes it gets you 12hp over just the tune but its expensive, a PITA to install and you introduce unreliable DISA valve, for a daily you want reliability. For technology just put in an AVIN touch screen in the dash, you have to cut a hole in the dash, but looks factory after and that gets you wireless Carplay and Android auto!

I picked up 2007 N52 325i with only 22,000 miles and one owner car love it better built than my F31

i’ve had both and my take is e90 is for that late teens to late 20’s guy. f30 is for the boy that has become a man and is looking for a fun, sporty car but ready for the next part in life. Both cars have plus and minuses.

Just wondering what exhaust set up you have? I own a e90 328i and would like it to sound louder and sportier like yours

I love the front end view of mines. Just something about ir makes my head turn back when I walk away.

Lci still looks amazing plus i got that big ass android screen all wheel drive and everything just wish it was M package 📦

is 330d good too?

I loved my e90 but the oil leaks on BMW are just atrocious. I replaced gaskets twice in 3 years. You’re also going to be replaced a lot of sensors. The sensors have sensors, it’s overkill.

I know im late idk if u still respond to comments, a friend has a bmw e92 2013 i felt the handling and i have to say its pretty fun, but fun gets quickly ended if i get angry at repairs, breakin down, not responding to what i want and stuff. so how reliable it really is? e92 2008, 2013 somewhere around that. Do they have issues after like 200, 300k kms? i've seen these cars being sold around there. He was lucky to have the car gifted from a family member directly

What about 316i?

Proud owner of e93 335is

I'm considering a 325i e92 from 2007. I'm trying to choose between that and an audi TT 2.0 tfsi and it's being a nightmare to decide 😭

“The bones” lol

Nothing like the naturally aspirated V8 ( S65) in my 2012 M3 , agree with you 100% , they destroyed the 3 series. n never shouldve gotten rid of the coupe in 3 series, n screw the M4 !

Another awesome E9X car that every enthusiast should look at is the 2006 E90 330i. You still get a N/A 3.0L IL6 but it's a 30-40bhp bump up from the 328i, it's like the 340i in relation to the 335i but naturally aspirated.

Man I'm stuck between dailying a 2009 328xi e92 or a 2010 Audi A5 2.0T quatro. The audi interior is waaay better built. But i feel like parts for the e90 is everywhere and community seems bigger here.. BMW better driving feel but that being said... i dont see as much A5 as i do E90s..

This is very simple for me. This is the last 3-Series generation with the amazing steering feel ( before BMW went to artificial, electric steering in the F30 generation ) tossable handling, and it's not verging on being too big. Do you guys realize the F30 is within inches of an E39 5 Series?? That's just too much. Great video man! I'm about to pick up a 2009 E90 Sedan with M-Sport pkg, Navi, and most importantly, a 6 speed manual. All of this for less than $20k. You can't do better than that. Yes, I'm talking to you, AUDI S4 people... lol ;)

That water pump. 😢

Also update the dash to digital and put Apple care play boom 2021 e92

E90 330I WAS ON POINT!!!

i think the E90 is beauty of a car.. but isnt the E90 known for mechanical problems?

Analogue 😂 it has an ECU and hydraulic steering! Analogue would be a non ECU non hydraulic steering BMW. A F32 435i M Sport N55 has most of the the N54 faults sorted, more room in the back for 2 adults, a bigger boot a better idrive and better looks in my humble opinion. I took Chris Harris's opinion on how the F32 handles and steers over yours.(See below) Go figure kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9igrLB11rHKnKc.html

E91 owners always done dirty in these videos 😂

335i isn’t a midrange

I hate the huge hill shaped display, it makes the interior so dated

“are these cars going to appreciate? nahh i don’t think so..” any decent vehicle goes for like 6k minimum now lol

Every BMW on the road is driven by an asshole.

Bmw enthusiasts NEVER consider longevity. 3 to 5 years and they get rid of them. BMWs are not keepers.
