The cheat code to a reliable n54 powerhouse in 2024: MaxxEcu (or if you REALLY want to retain the stock ecu/dme: Nexsys DI delete), di delete, single bank o2 (no more o2's in the manifold), B58 coil conversion, Ken at Wedge performance for tuning Remove the port injection plate and replace with a top feed port injection manifold Throw JB4, AIC & PR coils in the bin So much love for your 335, it's the reason I got my manual, alpine white '09 335i almost 5 years ago! Can't wait to see this thing back ripping harder than ever 😍😍
MaxxECU is amazing. I have a Race on an 08 Saab, it has completely deleted the stock ECU and is emulating all the CAN outputs, the dash and AWD system that relies on those messages works flawlessly. Maxx doesn't natively support the Saab CAN messages but it's so customizable we were able to define all the messages ourselves. Adam should have enough reach for someone to be able to do something similar on the N54.
@@JakeT3584 Yea, highly recommend maxxecu as well. Have it on my old Ford Sierra with itb's, not alot of canbus going on, but its just very pleasant and capable to work with.
Not gonna lie, when I got my E36 I stumbled across Adam's "How this car changed my life" (not sure if exact title) & he talked about how him wanting the [N54] car made him get serious about certain things & his drive to buy one. That video instantly made me a fan of his. He was still doing BMX at the time & we fast forward.....
Fellow E92 Space Metallic Grey/ with black interior and woodgrain trim here. I’ve been contemplating going with carbon trim myself. Funny story an older gentleman asked me why I hadn’t gone with the carbon trim, and I told him I liked the woodgrain.
1. Take the JB4 off 2. Get a MHD super license and re tune the car 3. Take out the ACI port controller and replace it with MOTIVE REFLEX + 4. Get a 335is front bumper
Get it tuned by Steven at wedge !!! Wedge is the OG tuner with MHD Please him and his team are the gods of stock bmw ecu. They are the originators of the rolling anti lag for n54 on stock ecu. They just helped 4n motorsports tune a N55 that’s destroked to a 2.8L revving out to 9k again on stock ecu. Steven is such a god he’s even helped me so much with a xi to RWD conversation on my wagon. Also Adam plug your head ports that drain/ drip oil into your intake port will delete vacuum to pcv system. Just run a double catch can n vent them into the exhaust with a Venturi bung. Bam walnut blasting is forever gone from ur life . 1000% GET RID OF JB4 & AIC pi controller. AIC is so terrible its batch fire & is a disgusting piggy back tuner. MHD & motiv reflex + FTW 🙌🏽 Completely changes the game
@@stephensnyder1055 At the same time I don’t blame him cuz 99% of his cars just work off rip lol but his car was definitely made on a Monday morning when everyone was hung over after a holiday rager 😹
Girl here 🙋♀️ i've actually been subscribed to adam since the peanut butter jelly Pizza days 😂😂😂 i've been into cars since i was a teen, and now actually being in the car scene at 24 seeing adam and his bmw bring back so many memories of the past. gotta love it 👏👏👏
This is my favorite LZ car. The OG OG. I remember watching Adam eat his breakfast while driving to class and then BMX at the skatepark. What a ride being a fan
@13:18 Little pro tip, it’s way easier to turn the handle if it’s at about a 45 degree angle. There’s a joint between the handle and the valve, and if the handle is straight up, the joint is not straight, and so looses a ton of leverage trying to rotate.
I actually just got my 335i out of retirement this summer after 7 years. I still hold the stock long block record at 861whp but now am fully built with a MaxxECU and DI delete. Crazy how much better it cooperates and drives. I ditched it 7 years ago because of the same reason because of the tuning side. I was a test mule for a lot of what the MHD is now and I just got tired of it and tucked it away in my shop. Stephen Green with Greens Motorsports was the one that got me set up with the MaxxECU and DI delete and made the engine harness. He wants to help you if you’re down.
Quick question, would you recommend going DI delete and standalone ECU for daily driving? I was kinda wondering whether or not I should go that route. Or just stick with DI and PI combo instead for clean ports mostly
@@MKRN98 really depends what power you’re wanting to make or currently making. I actually made the 861whp on the stock long block on a stock dme with a Cobb and then a haltech platinum sport for the PI and boost control and it worked great aside from the tq limitations and shift bog. When I switched to MHD we fought and fought tq limitations and throttle closure past 900whp and it just became frustrating. With the MaxxECU and DI delete I cruise this thing all over no issues and once I get the radium surge tank installed in the next week or so to get around the last of the factory regulator and should be around 1100whp. It’s honestly never driven as nice as it does now and the CAN control I’ve gotten basically everything working again aside from AC which should be a simple digital output to trigger the magnetic clutch in the compressor.
You NEED to get the Barra-Mustang Going Again... You gotta figure out some way on putting a sway bar under it! Hell get your guys to make make one! 😫 We NEED more Barra-Mustang content!
If it’s going to be a straight drag car doing a sold axle swap with a 4 link would be way better and I’d feel like he’d enjoy the car 100 times better.
I'm a girl! ✋️ My husband showed me your channel over 7 years ago. We have watched every video since 😊 I enjoy working on cars with him, more girls should 💪
DocVu I believe is his name but he tunes a lot of fast n54 cars. One thing you need to do is put the port injection on its own pump and lines. The DI requests different fuel pressures from the low side pump and it throws off the tuning on the port system making it a tuning nightmare.
Yes doc tuning is exactly who you want to talk to. The car is going to need motive reflex with a precision raceworks PI kit or if you have one on the car already it’s fine and can be modified very easily to work with the reflex. Use twin-triple pumps in the rear and try to keep them on a hobb switch so they’re happy and not always drawing currents since BMW and electronics not fun. Last tip would be have index 12 injectors for DI, they’re the newest DI injectors from BMW and I recommend them the best.
If you’re having misfire issues you might have to upgrade the ecu to the msd81 over the msd80. They are both OEM ecu’s but the 80 has issues with the mosfets inside that cause a lot of misfiring problems. The 81 was introduced to fix these problems and can be found in later model cars. Adam’s should be 81 but might be worth the check.
so go from one tuning nightmare to another? nexsys started releasing a full DI delete but still nobody tuning it, and MaxxECU is still over priced to end up spending a ton in trial and error
Been here since before the N54, and remember the videos following VIVIDLY of how frickin pumped you were to finally acquire it. RUclips is so weird.. Watching this entire journey you’ve been on from 1000mi away has been a trip. Super pumped to see this thing get some love and attention again❤
As an N54 (E91!) owner I couldn’t be more excited to hear you are getting back at this. I can’t wait to see the progress on it. Curious to see what tires you’ll go for! Best of luck!
V8Bait outta Texas remote tuned mine 4 years ago. I would highly recommend him and his expertise for your needs/concerns. Solid guy with prompt response times. He knows his stuff!
Ken from wedge performance has a lot of tuning experience, tuned the most n54s and has been part of different projects throughout the n54 world regarding tuning. (Jordan from rktunes mentioned him in one of your videos) If you have random misfire problems during WOT, ditch the Precision raceworks coils and run the nexsys b58 coil conversion kit with NGK 94201(from the b58) plugs gapped to .024. MHD has improved a lot with new single bank 02 tuning and MHD+ If you have bad timing corrections the only real solution is mainly new injectors followed by plugs, coils then o2 sensors. That's if the tune and fuel is good. Surprisingly enough there are still developments going on in the n54 world, with straight port injector replacement with Nexsys conversion kit that is still controlled by the stock dme and stuff like vacuum pump gear replacement to get more fuel from the hpfp from Hydra Performance.
MHD is the name of the game for N54 tuning these days. From what I've heard there's a lot of good tuners out there but DocVu is the one that seems to come up most often as the best, he tuned my hybrid turbo N54 135i to make a very healthy 500hp on pump gas Edit: also, for the interior, check out AMX performance, they sell Recaro Sportster seats reupholstered with the BMW red leather, looks really good, and OEM, I really want to get a pair for my car eventually
I had a 335i for a few years. Got it because of you. It was a maintenance NIGHTMARE. One owner with 82 k and it had all the service papers. I still went through 3 water pumps in 30k miles. Along with everything else that broke too.
Got mine at 79k miles 7 years ago because of Adam LZ. Now at 97k miles I had replaced almost everything that's maintenance and it's still leaking oil lol
I could argue that when Adam got this car waaaay back is truly the reason I fell inlove with red guts in BMW's. Hoping to own one in the future and glad to see the good ol' E92 get some love.
I’m not sure if ownership has changed hands. But probably close to a decade ago, the owner at that time was top notch. He went so far out of his way to help one of my friends get a car dialed.
@@BriscosmotorsportsLLC who has? And this next statement doesn’t even go for the guys at CES. You’ve never had a part fail? Parts work 100% of the time? Don’t be that guy.
Doc vu is ur man, he’s a master at n54 and he can take care of it all remotely. Super excited to see this car back, your the reason Im still building my 335 today!!
i would prefer MaxxEcu its really big in europe and it has support for N54 with port injection and afterall MaxxEcu also has support if you wanna go 8hp some day for that super fast gearbox!
Absolutly dream car of mine growing up and watching the channel since the street edits lol, now I have an e92 m3 that needs a lot of love. I'm glad to see that we still have love for this chassis and the development behind it don't let it die!!
I think the Maxxecu is a really great option! It's a plug and play stand alone ecu that doesn't completely destroy your wallet. They also make them for a bunch of other cars!
Adam because of you i bought my 2008 Alpine white e92 with red interior too (yes i copied you) back in 2017 Was my first car and i still own it, currently getting the motor built for big boi power -Port Injection- Nexsys motorsport literally just finished a full port injection conversion on stock dme This deletes the Di injectors and HPFP and keeps factory like reliability -Coil Packs- Theres 2 good ways to go for this B58 coil conversion from Nexsys motorsport as well or R35 Gtr coil kit conversion from platinum racing products specifically for the n54 The gtr kit is good as it uses smart coils and puts alot less load onto the dme -Single Bank O2 conversion- Mhd now has an option to convert to a single O2 sensor Instead of 2 having to be in the headers, you can now put just one in the downpipe. This will prevent burning sensors and keeps the car running smoother -Tuners- The following tuners have forefronted the n54 community and pushed for the changes and updates we have today instead of jumping ship to the b58 -David Shoup- My personal tuner, he has helped devolop MHD into what it is and has assisted in the devolopement into antilag and single bank 02 -Ken Atkinson- Wedge tuning, another figure that has helped improve the platform and has also helped making the updates we have -Doc Vu- Alot of people commend him for his tuning, he is know well, but i personally did not have a good experience with him as he ghosted my friend when the dme was bricked during flashing after everything was checked over This video makes me so happy, all the choices for a first car and i walked to work because seeing your videos made me want one even more and it was worth it with the roller coaster of emotions Keep up the dope videos! Insta: dardan_danny
This is one of the reasons I follow your channel, wanted a 335i in highschool . Was also a skateboarder who attempted BMX . This car deserves a revival!
Hell yeah the 335 is back. This is the car that motivated me to build mine. But that N54 life is not for the weak though. Looking forward to see what you do with it, the possibilities are endless.
Building a car is one of the purest forms of self expression. Everyone likes a different flavor, different tastes, it's awesome to see the results of someone's hard work. 🤘
I needed to see this video, I used to have a 335i years ago but it had problems so I had to let it go years later now I’m starting to save to get another one and even started a RUclips because my brother has a e93 335i. I can’t wait to get back into the n54 and film my journey, I almost gave up on getting another but seeing you repost yours gave me that hope again, thank you ❤️🙌🏽
I started watching your channel when you got the S13 (don't think I've missed a video since!), and went back to catch up on 335i stuff - super nostalgic! Excited to see it be the car you always wanted it to be.
This has been my dream car since day one never able to buy one due to financial reasons but just seeing this beauty since day one I fell in love glad to see you bring it back!
That’s the N54 life, even when there’s nothing broken, you probably have an oil leak. But yes, it’s how I found you in 2018 when I got my 2008 E92 M-Sport 335i. I’ve been watching ever since. Thanks for provide entertaining content with opportunities for learning
You’re the reason I got a single turbo 335 so this is awesome! If you’re looking to stay away from stand alone ecu go with a motiv reflex+ paired with mhd, it has fail safes, additional inputs and outputs for a secondary fuel pump, flex fuel, methanol injection, etc. it also has canbus integration. I’ve had one on my car for over 2 years with zero issues related to ecu whatsoever
As a single turbo 335i owner, Motiv Reflex to control port injection and MHD for tuning. If you wire your auxiliaries on the Reflex properly, you can use them to communicate with the Reflex and control your mac solenoid and secondary fuel pump. (Currently have mine on a hobbs switch to activate it, but you can get more precise with wiring it to the Reflex). With the recent updates, once your Reflex is flashed all you have to do is keep updating the MHD tune. MHD also has on the fly map switching now so it's kinda nice. B58 Coil packs to avoid all the ignition issues. If you're trying to go for crazy power... delete the direct injection, go port only and use a Maxx ecu for stand alone stuff.
The 335 and the cream 240 were the reason why I subbed in 2015. They (married) were living in a condo with that funny dude. Lots of BMX stuff, day in the life videos while at college.
You can do stock ecu with relfex to control pi, or do maxxecu instead of syvecs. Overall, though, just do port injection,dual pumps, single bank 02 sensor, and if you stay stock ecu you can repin the dme and have MHD control boost instead of using a boost controller on the single set up and get tuned by doc vu who is the best. Run a 15x10 +45 7.25 BS 275/50/15 on the rear!! Glad to see the 335i back 🙌🏾
Now you can control a 3/4 port boost controller for your single turbo directly from the stock ecu, also you can convert to a single wideband post turbo. Eliminating all the O2 problems. You can also have diferent tunes/boost levels in the same tune, you can change tunes directly from the steering wheel controlls. Rolling antilag is also posible with the stock ecu. Also Reflex+ can control port injection sequentially, all with can connectivity and add inputs and outputs you can see directly in MHD. All possible thanks to MHD
adam i found you through bmx vlogs then you introduced me to bmw 7 years ago and i just bought my first bmw it’s a n54 335i just about month ago, manifested it since i was a kid
Finally the car that brought me to the channel thank goodness. I want to see this go standalone and make 900-1000 so badly .... the tires on the og wheels make it look 👌
The 335 hits me in the feels. Got one, had all the N54 problems.. bailed and bought a B58 M340i. Lots of N54 tuners still using stock ECU flashes like MHD and BootMod3(DocVu and Wedge are just tuners).
I’m part of that N54 group 😂 bought it as a first car in highschool. 8 years later now (as a daily) looking to build the motor and go full frame (currently on pures). It’s a love hate relationship and it’s taught me so much in both life and cars. I wouldn’t ever take it back. But yes you are the reason I have bad car days but she’s going to the grave with me 😂 love the channel bro, bring this thing back to life ❤️ (please for the love of god get a m sport front bumper)
I AM NOT A GIRL BUT ILL COMMENT. Seeing the 335i back is so nostalgic. I remember watching you take that car to class and then hit the skate park. Happy to see it getting some love!
BMW guy for the last 24 years. Gone through all 3 series. I don’t mess with mine other than suspension and tiers. They have all been very reliable. I found this channel when I had my E90. Still have a E46 my OG BMW topaz blue similar to Adam’s og car and an M340i.
Haven’t watched LZ in months, see the 335i and instantly come back. This car is the reason I bought one and now hate life

If you have random misfire problems during WOT, ditch the Precision raceworks coils and run the nexsys b58 coil conversion kit with NGK 94201(from the b58) plugs gapped to .024.
MHD has improved a lot with new single bank 02 tuning and MHD+
If you have bad timing corrections the only real solution is mainly new injectors followed by plugs, coils then o2 sensors. That's if the tune and fuel is good.
Surprisingly enough there are still developments going on in the n54 world, with straight port injector replacement with Nexsys conversion kit that is still controlled by the stock dme and stuff like vacuum pump gear replacement to get more fuel from the hpfp from Hydra Performance.
Ken is the man
PREACH! You spoke my mind on this!🙌🏼
Ken's response times are atrocious. Solid enough reputation otherwise.
+1 for Ken, he maintains the OTS maps for MHD. Busy guy if you email, but he's pretty active in the 35i WhatsApp group
Ken worked magic with my MHD custom E-tunes, even on California 91 octane gabage fuel!
this is my favorite car out of your fleet for a while especially back then... i'm just so obsessed with the sound
Speaking of the 335i's revival, only the OGs know the real reason Adam grew a moustache
I bought my 335i because of your single turbo build. Now mine is on single turbo and luckily it has been rock solid!
MHD is the name of the game for N54 tuning these days. From what I've heard there's a lot of good tuners out there but DocVu is the one that seems to come up most often as the best, he tuned my hybrid turbo N54 135i to make a very healthy 500hp on pump gas
Edit: also, for the interior, check out AMX performance, they sell Recaro Sportster seats reupholstered with the BMW red leather, looks really good, and OEM, I really want to get a pair for my car eventually
Old school from the days of the 335. Sold mine. Was a great car! Glad to see you show it some love!
David Shoup to get your tune on point. I can put in the word in 👀
He tunes mine as well highly recommend!
You already know
Amen David is absolutely the best
Yes
This car is the reason I started watching Adam’s channel in the first place. I’m glad to see it back!!!
I had a 335i for a few years.
Got it because of you.
It was a maintenance NIGHTMARE.
One owner with 82 k and it had all the service papers.
I still went through 3 water pumps in 30k miles. Along with everything else that broke too.
Did you replace with an oem one?
@@raf1320I doubt it - they should be good for 70k
Got mine at 79k miles 7 years ago because of Adam LZ. Now at 97k miles I had replaced almost everything that's maintenance and it's still leaking oil lol
sound to me like something else was wrong in the cooling loop. was your radiator clogged or something?
@@VARADAMODUBLINexactly there are some parts that you should only buy oem
So awesome to see the n54 get some much needed love. Can’t wait to see how it turns out when you finally get it sorted out.
I miss the 335i
feels like that car never gets enough love
The timing for this video is crazy I got my 335i 4 years ago because of this e92 I now have a n55 335i and I love it 🔥
335 prices bout to explode again
No they ain't 335i are everywhere. Won't go up till everyone realizes they a good drift car. But again theirs a billion e9x on the road
N54 is trash and cost a lot of money to add power.
Get the new 330i B58 turbo
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts340*?
@@zmohan69not true I’ve been looking for months for a decent one. Majority of the clean ones still command ~15k it’s absolute bs
@@jaycusn54 yeH
I could argue that when Adam got this car waaaay back is truly the reason I fell inlove with red guts in BMW's. Hoping to own one in the future and glad to see the good ol' E92 get some love.
Send the car to CES Motorsports in Charlotte. Let John and the boys dial it in for you. You will not regret it
This 100%
I’m not sure if ownership has changed hands. But probably close to a decade ago, the owner at that time was top notch.
He went so far out of his way to help one of my friends get a car dialed.
He’s blown every motor he’s had …lmao. Why would he do that
@@sarahdell4042 same owner. John. He’s the man. Down to earth guy. Will get you right.
@@BriscosmotorsportsLLC who has? And this next statement doesn’t even go for the guys at CES. You’ve never had a part fail? Parts work 100% of the time? Don’t be that guy.
Doc vu is ur man, he’s a master at n54 and he can take care of it all remotely. Super excited to see this car back, your the reason Im still building my 335 today!!
i would prefer MaxxEcu its really big in europe and it has support for N54 with port injection and afterall MaxxEcu also has support if you wanna go 8hp some day for that super fast gearbox!
and also MaxxEcu is really affordable
Absolutly dream car of mine growing up and watching the channel since the street edits lol, now I have an e92 m3 that needs a lot of love. I'm glad to see that we still have love for this chassis and the development behind it don't let it die!!
I think the Maxxecu is a really great option! It's a plug and play stand alone ecu that doesn't completely destroy your wallet. They also make them for a bunch of other cars!
More 335i content
I forgot about this car tbh but it’s such an iconic build. Miss the old days UCF chillin lol. Big ups Adam! You’ve come a long way! Proud of you!
I’m glad you still have it that’s all that matters. The car that made me love this channel
Adam because of you i bought my 2008 Alpine white e92 with red interior too (yes i copied you) back in 2017
Was my first car and i still own it, currently getting the motor built for big boi power
-Port Injection-
Nexsys motorsport literally just finished a full port injection conversion on stock dme
This deletes the Di injectors and HPFP and keeps factory like reliability
-Coil Packs-
Theres 2 good ways to go for this
B58 coil conversion from Nexsys motorsport as well or R35 Gtr coil kit conversion from platinum racing products specifically for the n54
The gtr kit is good as it uses smart coils and puts alot less load onto the dme
-Single Bank O2 conversion-
Mhd now has an option to convert to a single O2 sensor
Instead of 2 having to be in the headers, you can now put just one in the downpipe. This will prevent burning sensors and keeps the car running smoother
-Tuners-
The following tuners have forefronted the n54 community and pushed for the changes and updates we have today instead of jumping ship to the b58
-David Shoup- My personal tuner, he has helped devolop MHD into what it is and has assisted in the devolopement into antilag and single bank 02
-Ken Atkinson- Wedge tuning, another figure that has helped improve the platform and has also helped making the updates we have
-Doc Vu- Alot of people commend him for his tuning, he is know well, but i personally did not have a good experience with him as he ghosted my friend when the dme was bricked during flashing after everything was checked over
This video makes me so happy, all the choices for a first car and i walked to work because seeing your videos made me want one even more and it was worth it with the roller coaster of emotions
Keep up the dope videos!

This is one of the reasons I follow your channel, wanted a 335i in highschool . Was also a skateboarder who attempted BMX . This car deserves a revival!
1:32 This car is literally the reason I found & subscribed to you lol...I still have my 135i too
Hell yeah the 335 is back. This is the car that motivated me to build mine. But that N54 life is not for the weak though. Looking forward to see what you do with it, the possibilities are endless.
maxxecu standalone is very good, and tuner wise a lot of people use docvu, cd919 but if you want spicy tune go with jsr
David Shoup knows this engine in and out. Had a fast safe tune for 5yrs with him and he is very knowledgeable.
Finally some juicy E92 content
Building a car is one of the purest forms of self expression. Everyone likes a different flavor, different tastes, it's awesome to see the results of someone's hard work. 🤘
Hat goes backwards…
Mike: “Damn.. gotta catch ‘em all” that cracked me up ha ha
I needed to see this video, I used to have a 335i years ago but it had problems so I had to let it go years later now I’m starting to save to get another one and even started a RUclips because my brother has a e93 335i. I can’t wait to get back into the n54 and film my journey, I almost gave up on getting another but seeing you repost yours gave me that hope again, thank you ❤️🙌🏽
you need to build a 335 to slide. I think they'd make a sick drift car. Nothing crazy just maybe a fbo on car power wise.
I started watching your channel when you got the S13 (don't think I've missed a video since!), and went back to catch up on 335i stuff - super nostalgic! Excited to see it be the car you always wanted it to be.
Who remembers the “how to barspin” Adam LZ days?
Great to see the n54 back. It’s a love and hate relationship with the engine but it puts a big smile on my face when she’s running good.
Can't wait for your next upload!
This has been my dream car since day one never able to buy one due to financial reasons but just seeing this beauty since day one I fell in love glad to see you bring it back!
Needs the red seat back
Thank you for sharing the 335 again adam
Let me fly down and get you setup with a MaxxEcu kit!
Literally my fav car out his collection. Imma always tune in when i see it in a thumbnail
"Fire me up and call me Sally" - Best one yet hahaha
That’s the N54 life, even when there’s nothing broken, you probably have an oil leak. But yes, it’s how I found you in 2018 when I got my 2008 E92 M-Sport 335i.
I’ve been watching ever since. Thanks for provide entertaining content with opportunities for learning
You always surprise us!
You’re the reason I got a single turbo 335 so this is awesome! If you’re looking to stay away from stand alone ecu go with a motiv reflex+ paired with mhd, it has fail safes, additional inputs and outputs for a secondary fuel pump, flex fuel, methanol injection, etc. it also has canbus integration. I’ve had one on my car for over 2 years with zero issues related to ecu whatsoever
29:13 lol I feel that 😂
YES the 335i is back! This car is what introduced me to your channel. I bought one shortly after watching that video you referenced (N55 though)
Can u plz give TJ crap for his ad with that company Tinker? He says “surgeon” instead of “certain”💀
i just got my n54 little over a month ago and it's already down waiting for parts so you're hitting me in the feels
I own an E90 335 because of this car, so f**king happy to see her back! Thank you!
Got my e92 335i last year in July, Adam being my inspiration. When he said throw $1000 here and $1000 there, I FELT THAT.
The 335i was the car that made me subscribe to your channel and probably my favorite car of yours, so happy to see it!!!!
As a single turbo 335i owner, Motiv Reflex to control port injection and MHD for tuning. If you wire your auxiliaries on the Reflex properly, you can use them to communicate with the Reflex and control your mac solenoid and secondary fuel pump. (Currently have mine on a hobbs switch to activate it, but you can get more precise with wiring it to the Reflex). With the recent updates, once your Reflex is flashed all you have to do is keep updating the MHD tune. MHD also has on the fly map switching now so it's kinda nice. B58 Coil packs to avoid all the ignition issues.
If you're trying to go for crazy power... delete the direct injection, go port only and use a Maxx ecu for stand alone stuff.
I wholeheartedly agree with you on the walnut trim. In my n54 e91, i sparyed a purple pearl over it. It turned out sick
The 335 and the cream 240 were the reason why I subbed in 2015. They (married) were living in a condo with that funny dude. Lots of BMX stuff, day in the life videos while at college.
You can do stock ecu with relfex to control pi, or do maxxecu instead of syvecs. Overall, though, just do port injection,dual pumps, single bank 02 sensor, and if you stay stock ecu you can repin the dme and have MHD control boost instead of using a boost controller on the single set up and get tuned by doc vu who is the best. Run a 15x10 +45 7.25 BS 275/50/15 on the rear!! Glad to see the 335i back 🙌🏾
Now you can control a 3/4 port boost controller for your single turbo directly from the stock ecu, also you can convert to a single wideband post turbo. Eliminating all the O2 problems. You can also have diferent tunes/boost levels in the same tune, you can change tunes directly from the steering wheel controlls. Rolling antilag is also posible with the stock ecu. Also Reflex+ can control port injection sequentially, all with can connectivity and add inputs and outputs you can see directly in MHD. All possible thanks to MHD
That thing had such a hard life im so impressed it still runs, love this og car..the og og
love seeing this car back on the LMs
Bc of this I bought one and owned it for about 4 years and loved it, also went hybrids and other bits, definitely one of the best cars I've owned
Man I remember when you got this car. Absolutely love this car man
adam i found you through bmx vlogs then you introduced me to bmw 7 years ago and i just bought my first bmw it’s a n54 335i just about month ago, manifested it since i was a kid
Just stepped into one, after fixing a coil pack issue the thing is sick. Best bang for buck right now
Finally the car that brought me to the channel thank goodness. I want to see this go standalone and make 900-1000 so badly .... the tires on the og wheels make it look 👌
I clicked on this video so damn fast. The n54 is a beast and that car deserves the attention! Thats the OG lgmfg car
So glad to see her back !!
The 335 hits me in the feels. Got one, had all the N54 problems.. bailed and bought a B58 M340i. Lots of N54 tuners still using stock ECU flashes like MHD and BootMod3(DocVu and Wedge are just tuners).
I remember first watching you back in the bmx days and to now, damm bro you’ve come far. Proud of yah ❤
I’m part of that N54 group 😂 bought it as a first car in highschool. 8 years later now (as a daily) looking to build the motor and go full frame (currently on pures). It’s a love hate relationship and it’s taught me so much in both life and cars. I wouldn’t ever take it back. But yes you are the reason I have bad car days but she’s going to the grave with me 😂 love the channel bro, bring this thing back to life ❤️ (please for the love of god get a m sport front bumper)
I AM NOT A GIRL BUT ILL COMMENT. Seeing the 335i back is so nostalgic. I remember watching you take that car to class and then hit the skate park. Happy to see it getting some love!
BMW guy for the last 24 years. Gone through all 3 series. I don’t mess with mine other than suspension and tiers. They have all been very reliable. I found this channel when I had my E90. Still have a E46 my OG BMW topaz blue similar to Adam’s og car and an M340i.
Currently using a 02’ 330ci in topaz blue as my daily and I absolutely love that thing
