Totally agree, owned a 335i n54 platform modded with exhaust and JB4, makes it a very fast car with a lot of torque. Bought a e92 m3 a month ago, and i think it's not as fast in a straight line, but the experience in the M is crazy, above 7000 the car sounds like it wants to kill you! Nice video!!
+LennyK1988 couldn't agree more
Lennart Kruijthof I have a 2011 n55 335i e90 and I’m looking to buy e90 m3 my 335i is stock will I feel difference in straight line when I get m3 haven’t driven one yet and I found a flash tune that gives you 20+ hp and 20+ tq do you think that will make a difference ?
Thiago Villar well if your 335i is stock, the m3 will be faster, my 2010 m3 comp, has the same straight line performance as a 335i f30 with a tune, has around 410 hp. But that is not what it is about, just drive one, and put your foot down till the revs hit 8200. You will understand what i mean!👍🏻
Lennart Kruijthof thanks man will do
@@tee2x965 im looking for a m3 how its the car so far?
As an individual trying to decide between the 335is and the M3, I really appreciate your perspective. Great job on the video! I think I just made my mind.... M3!
I have owned both cars and still have my 2013 e92 M3. I had the 335i for over 6 years and I it was a great daily driver. Your points about the engine and suspension were spot on regarding the M3. The M3 is a completely different car from the inside and out. At my age I could care less if another car is faster. Honestly I just love the way the car drives, sounds and looks! Even though the platform is old I still think it was one of the best looking cars out there. Great job on your videos on the M3!
just for the sound alone is worth the upgrade
Ricky Utomo kid. Upgrade your exhaust. It doesnt warrant $10+ for better exhaust sound
until you get smoked by that sexy inline 6
totally agree that its a shitty feeling to know people just look at M cars and instantly think "douchebag" and especially when you're trying to enjoy the sound and even the acceleration of the car. I've had a 335i, e92 M3 and now the F80 M3 and I've noticed having the most problems with my F80 M3 with people yelling at me to slow down when I'm doing the speed limit or lower but hear and see the car and want to correct me. theres a time and place to drive spiritedly and i take pride in having the decency to not drive like an idiot drifting or hauling ass thru residential neighborhoods when kids could be around. good video! keep up the good work. i found this channel at 1.5k subs and knew it was worth subbing to because the quality of your content is outstanding bro!
Blues Clues M3 lol where do you live that people have the balls to tell someone else to slow down 😂
Believe it or not I get that a lot too in my N55 E93 335i with DPs, people use to yell at me all the time in my old neighborhood and I can see in this new neighborhood I live in that folks are eyeballing me as I turn the corners even though I'm driving no more than 20 mph.
"Slow down" I hear people yelling often and I often look at me Odo to see how fast I'm going and when I look I'm at the exact speed as the car in front of me but they're focused on how loud my car is so I guess to them loud equals "fast".
I wouldn't let clueless people affect my personal opinion and experience.
Thanks to you and a few others I now have both the 335i for 9 years and M3 V8 for just a week, and yes both are great cars to drive. The 335 feels light and nimble and the M3 feels brawny and planted. Both are plenty quick and capable. The M3 is definitely on another level altogether. Glad I bought it and doing maintenance work upfront. See you on the road
My friend has the n55 335i and I have e92 m3, both are great cars. The M3 is more fun and aggressive without a doubt, however not as easy to make fast like the 335i.
Good video. You're spot on with the douche assumptions & driving engagement. Funny, I've tried to explain the same to friends & they just dont understand until they drive the ///M themselves.
I started with a 97 e36 M3 with AA exhaust, an 04 e46 M3 with Dinan exhaust (had an 06 ZCP shortly too) & then an e92 with Akropovic exhaust. I put coilovers on each of them, too many other mods to list...
They each became my favorites as I started modding, especially the exhaust notes. I loved the Dinan e46 rasp. Most hate it, I miss it. Though I will say that intake improved the exhaust note on all of them & is well worth it. I couldn't pick an overall fav though. They're all so different & I enjoyed each of them.
My current DD is a C32 AMG. I had an E55 AMG prior to that. I've tried convincing myself to stick with AMG's, mainly because they're fairly inexpensive to mod compared to NA cars.The factory HP/Torque numbers are very underrated & they pull like no other. BUT the biggest let down (other than being slushbox autos) is that the AMGs did not come with LSD! That blew me away. Current models may, not sure on that one. Either way, I just cant resist ///M's.
The driver engagement you've pointed out makes them so much more fun to drive especially dropping a gear and tearing thru a high speed, circle on-ramp! So much better driving experience overall IMO. The AMG cars are faster in a straight line, even faster with a quaife LSD but just cant match the ///M cars. I really miss having a clutch pedal though. I'm finally going back to an e92 M3, possibly an e60 M5 tho. I was possibly considering a 335i with the M widebody kit but it just can't match a true ///M.
Thanks for the vid &for helping me realize that an ///M is truly the way haha
It does not matter how far back you park your M3, there will always be someone , who just like to "invade" your space. If I see a 997 park alone back there, I be respectful by parking a few spots away.
Brandon, I can relate! I had a 2012 335is with COBB tune, FMIC, BMS DCI, ER charge pipe w/HKS BOVs. I never could afford an M3 and justified it by focusing on all the power that N54 was making. Then, my current car (2013 E92 M3) showed up at a local Chevy dealership 25K miles, Mineral White Metallic, Comp Pkg, DCT, all kind of CF pieces and I sat back and watched as NO ONE bought it! Over the course of a year, the price dropped from $49,995, to $44,995, to $41,995, then $39,500 and I'm thinking, well maybe! I test drove it and they let me take it home overnight to detail it myself - I was hooked. I got it for $38,500 and yeah, the V8 sound (now with OEM exhaust mod), all the ///M body differences and the suspension alone put it in a class of it's own. Just yesterday, I was in "Mexico" and took it up to a GPS verified 153 mph and this is by far the most stable car I've ever driven at speed. Your comparison was spot on.
Washing/detailing a car is the best way to find out if the body's been done at all...
M3 costs more also it's ownership.
I have driven 335i m sport it looks like M3 and feels good. All BMW m sport cars drive and look good.
Hi Brandon, Great Honest Video, I have a Black 335i Coupe M sport Package, M sport exhaust, it also sounds incredible from the regular stock setup
Nice video bro!
I have never driven an e92 M3 but I really like the way it looks. I have owned an e46 M3 for about 9 years and I LOVE that car, I have a really hard time letting it go. I think even after a all the years since it was produced, there are very few cars out there that can give you the feeling an e46 M3 can. I have a 2017 mustang GT and even though the Mustang has 100hp more, the M3 just makes me feel so good when I drive it. My next car will either be an e92 M3 or a new Mustang GT350. I'm not a big fan of the new M3 or M4 or as they fucked the name of it.
What did you need up with. I really like the gt350 the v8 in that is legendary as well.
Great video! Thank you, i have owned 2 E36 m3, and 2 other e36’s and just sold my E39 M5 now own a 335xi, but will sell to end up buying an E92 M3.
Cool vid with good info. I'm looking to get into a 335 but can't find any coupes in manual tranny in white. I've seen more m3's for sale lately so I guess I'll just have to test drive one and see if I fall in love with it.
Brandon, I'd love to see a comparison between an e9x M3 and an N54 FBO 335i with a LSD (I have one, should you want to test it out ;) ) I am at a point where I am looking to add an M to my life, but cant make up mind if it should be E9x or the F8x. I've always loved the sound and the steering of the e90 M3, the F8X seems would be more of the same as what I have now. I used to lust after the e90M, but I recently drove some Ms and I did not lust after it like I used to. Perhaps because I've closed the gap between an M with my suspension mods. That said, I'd still like to see something like that, and get an M owners perspective.
Really cool video 👍
Just did the same thing. I sold my E92 335i (N54) to get into an E92 M3. The way the M makes you feel is so much more different than the 335i, boosted cars are still nice but maintenance on the M3 has been so much better in terms of the wallet.
How so?
Honest question!! Really thinking about getting either one.
v8 is na, 335 especially n54 is twin turbo I6 which is just a lot more unreliable for issues like HPFP and other stuff@@josearroyo4575
Does bmw make an m3 e92 where you dont have to open the drivers window every time you put your foot down?
Cool video, i did get a chuckle at, "half of me likes it, half of my doesn't and the other third..well..i don't care" lmao
Nice video! How many miles have you put on it?
What would you do if you owned a manual 2008 E92 335i with N54 with 111k miles in Lemans Blue and someone wanted to trade you a 127k mile 2008 E92 M3 manual in Melbourne Red would you take that trade or keep your 335i?
Good vid. Subbed. Planning on upgrading from my 128i within a year.
12:04 My opinion is one spot for one car, no matter how empty the lot or how far the spot. It just sends a message of deserving more than other people. And I had an M3 for 6.5 years. But to each their own.
Mmmm M 👍🏻cool. Yeah know what you mean about the sound from exhaust, is mainly for yourself!
The way I see it the biggest difference is the sound of that V8. Otherwise most of the chassis, suspension, brakes, lsd etc. Is interchangeable. Tbh I'd rather have done suspension by KW and brakes by Brembo, LSD by Quaife etc. than have M3 stock parts. Seeing it this way the difference is non existent. Like I said, biggest difference is sound. I am that type who prefers straight 6 song with turbo whistle and blow-off sound. Especially when going single turbo on N54 Vs supercharger on S65.
Asmir Sut I agree lol. I have driven both back to back many times. The M3 feels almost useless on the streets and the torque is gross. I think my moms Lexus RX has better torque numbers.... the funny thing is the same M fanboys who say “it’s not about how fast it is, it’s about handling”eventually switch over to f80 M3 because they want a faster car lol. Yet when they have a e9x they brag about how it handles better than a f80 lol. M fan boys will always be like that. Don’t get me wrong the V8 sounds good but it’s thirsty, loud and slow. I wouldn’t mind the loud if it was faster. A loud car slow is no different than a straight piped civic
Nice video, although i feel towards the end it stopped becoming a VS video and just explained the M3 more haha.. Its true too, I have a 135i - But recently I have become very fond of the e92 M3 !
+EL LL I got a bit distracted as usual haha
How is tail of the dragon? I did devils whip a couple years ago and it was pretty fun...
I own a 335is I'm about to park for the winter, next year im thinking about trading it in for either an e92 m3 or a c6 zo6.
The m3 is what I truly want but man.. nothing gives you a better bang for your buck than a corvette.
...so torn.
E92 M3 is a good bang for your buck as well
I just sold my white 2012 335is and had the Cobb Stage 2 tune on it. Super fun car, VERY quick with the tune. Best car I have owned so far. The 335is has it's own cult following and they are probably the best non-M car you can buy. But like you, I always wanted an e92 M3. So I'm purchasing a white 2012 M3 with the competition package. It already has the ESS650 Supercharger, and I'm hoping that the additional torque will make every aspect of the car better than my 335is.
Chris Walters So did you get your 2012 Supercharged M3? How is it?
@@walters0331 I would own an m3 but the torque deficit and fuel consumption was a deal breaker...to get it up to acceptable torque figures would literally make the m3 a useless car in terms of range per tank. I mean... we are talking 190 miles per tank or worse.
Just get a good e92 m3 not an 08 an 09 or higher with good mileage and supercharge it so you can be faster then a c6 zo6 and still be special
Gorgeous car
Driver Engagement is explained on how much feed back you get from the car. Less computer controlled and more human controlled and when you turn the steering wheel and when you hit the gas and when you let off the gas pedal.
I got a 328i e92 when I turned 19 and I loved it. (Btw suspension is stiff af on my car for NYC roads, it's brutal) Now I recently turned 21 and I'm about to upgrade to a 335 or an M3. E93 specifically. 335i I could get the n55 with around 20-30k miles but for a little more I could get an M3 with 40-50k on it. A lot of people have told me that M3s are a pain to keep after 50k though, as compared to N55s. I'm not too sure how much truth lies in that. (I have also been told to avoid pre-lci M3, idk why) It's a tough decision as I don't want a car with crazy miles on it but at the same time, I don't see much difference in a 335 from a 328 coupe as far as the looks go. What do you guys think is a decent mileage for a used M3? And what mileage M3s should I avoid?
Don't get an e93, it ruins the dynamics of the car badly and the extra weight makes it even more gutless than it already is. In regards to mileage...if maintenance is done/documented and recorded they're as reliable as can be. I bought mine at 53ish thousand miles and just hit 80K...drives like a dream still. 2 major problems with the m cars, rod bearings, and throttle actuators. The only reason to avoid a pre-lci m3 is due to the shittier navigation unit it had (CCC vs CIC).
Muhammad Choudhary dont get n55, n54 all the way bud, much better performance wise.
Muhammad Choudhary how can u even get a 3 series when u were 19?!!!
Hard work son, yo i got my n54 e90 at twenty, its just hard work and a decent budget and finance company. Quite literally anyone can do it.
D'Andre Watson exactly.
Ever driven a high dollar LS? First video I've seen of yours so forgive me if I'm ignorant. Love the cammed open V8 at 7k. V6 sounds great too but the v8 can't be beat.
What year is your car?
What are the main differences between a 2013 and 2011 m3?
Nevermind on your year but please answer the second part
I own a 10 335i e90 (performance pack) and 10 e90 M3... there is no doubt that the M3 is the real performer. Great video, love your content! It's awesome to hear content that I relate to!
I have owned my manual E92 M3 for 14 months thus far after selling my manual E92 N54 335i to a good mate.
The 335i has a small remap and is circa 360BHP, made for a pretty quick capable car and would surprise a lot more expensive machinery, pretty frugal on fuel too averaging on a run approx 37MPG, not too shabby for a mapped 3Litre twin Turbo.
My M3 has to be driven hard to get the performance out of it where the 335i seemed to have it from the minute you put your foot down. As others have said once the V8 is up over 6,000RPM all hell breaks loose and the sound is far angrier than the Straight 6.
I live on the edge of the Brecon Beacons mountain range in S. Wales which have some great roads, I have frequented them in all the different cars I have owned over the years and on these roads is where the M3 feels far superior to the 335i, you can feel where the money has been spent on the chassis/suspension/diff etc. The car just feel so much more planted and sure footed on the twisties.
Given the choice as an everyday car I would choose the 335i. A weekend and special occasion car it has to be the M3, it just feels that much more special to me...
as much as i love my 335i i think a e9x m3 would be sick to own at least to get the experience, its such a different and cool car
Good points. I recently picked up an 09 335m sport cos it was a good buy and a relatively modern car for the price in today's car market. Having owned 5 older M cars(e36, e34 and e46) there is an obvious element missing from the 335i. In the end, you can make swap a ton of parts onto a 335 and make it into a phenomenal ride, but the costs price you into a new bracket of car buying choices - mainly the M3 which a clean one can be had for $25k. The ends don't justify the means - the m3 is simply the car to own if you want a keeper. That being said, I drove my buddies e46 m3 to see it would bring back fond memories and it didn't(still a sexy car though).. if you want an m3 you go e90/92.
I feel like I need to point out that in stock form both engines actually have the same torque, it just comes in a bit later on the M3 (still relatively early though, if you look at dyno tests there's like 85% of it at just 2000rpm) and in actual timed acceleration tests the 335i is only slightly faster from very low RPM pulls like 40-60mph in 6th gear. The M3 just doesn't FEEL like it's going as fast in those sort of pulls, as is common with naturally aspirated engines with a very flat torque curve, they are deceptively fast because of the smooth linear way they deliver power.
Of course we're talking stock cars here, with a remap the 335i can be very nearly as quick as an M3 in a straight line, and much faster from low RPM. Still won't beat it around a race track though.
Well this makes my 435xi vs e92 m3 decision harder. lol I already got a 1991 850 thats been my project so not sure if getting into a M3 would be a good choice for a daily car all year round. The 850 only comes out during the warm months. But i guess for me its going to come down to the actual test drive. If the 435xi is boring to drive ill go drive a E92 335i, and then the M3. And see whats more fun. Im a little scared the M3 will be the winner, kinda terrified of maintenance and winter driving in such a beast. I looked into getting a something else than a BMW and i couldnt find anything. I considered the new Jeep Grand Cherokee but its out of my price range with the options that id like.
Revelocity why would you chose xdrive?
I've owned both, back to back I follow you on IG also. The M3 is a much better car. Let's be honest most of us bought the 335 bc it was way cheaper back than. And yes it is faster but that's not what's it about. It's faster so it makes us feel better when we couldn't afford the M. Majority of ppl go from 335 to M. M crowd is more mature too. This is the first car I've kept mostly stock. 335 also sucked bc no lsd.
Same here, i owned both back to back. Top end power is much better on the m3, Driving dynamics are also much better than the 335i. M3 all the way
Xan Millar 100% M3 is way more solid. 335 feels sketch after 130+
I got fbo n54 335i and one of the reasons I boughg it was I always hear ppl say why buy a "M3 when you can get a 335i tune and make it faster" but unknowingly I didnt do research of more in depth on both cars dont get me wrong I love my 335i and its faster then 90% of the cars on the road. but owning a M is something special and I get buyers remorse everytime I see one on the road.
Micah Armstrong that was exactly how I felt. I had one of the nicest done up 335. I even had the first set of colored angels on the East Coast. I'm glad I have an M now.
Micah Armstrong I had buyers remorse when i saw a 435i msport the first 2 weeks I got my e92 m3, I figured it looked newer, had nicer interior and probably was faster low down in a straight. Everything else about the m3 is another story, no another world, no its another dimension. Looking back I couldnt believe i even had that feeling.
It does not matter if nobody parks where you park. Don't use more than one space. I never do that. It's inconsiderate for the people that MIGHT for some weird unforeseen reason need a space...yes, it does happen.
Hey bud. Don't let the M3 idle. Just drive off immediately, per the manual. I had a 335iS (11) before my M3.
I usually just wait for the RPM to settle
Brandon B yes I do the same let the idle settle and then drive off
Yeah that's what I do
What about a gear swap on m3..that will help it wake up
I feel like the Hartge h50 better than both but we can’t get them here in America
I like the M3 but it cannot compete against the 335i when it comes to mods and power increase. You are pretty much stuck with a supercharger that costs waaaaaay more than an n54 turbo upgrade and the power isn't even more than the 335i. $4k turbo upgrade for 700whp vs. $9k supercharger for 650 whp? No brainer.
ya but +10k for maintenance n54
Thanks for the upload but why even compare a pure M car that is a totally different platform then a plain 335i. The M platform is purely made for going to work and it has great track potential. A 335i is just a daily car that have a lot of tuning potential.
Do you have a tune with your primary cat delete? I have a 2012 m3 and am curious
not yet so right now I have a check engine light :-(
Brandon B do you know the reason?
cczz its the o2 sensors in the stock cats that were removed, a common fix is the akrapovic delete r which just gets rid of the cel but doesnt offer the maximum gains as a tune and can be a many times cheaper than the latter
Does the e9X m3 have all the same failures as the 335i ? Or is it a different set ?
It’s more reliable than 335i but WAYYYY More expensive issuses I HAD A 335i and upgraded to a m3 rod bearings, brakes and transmission problems
@@cesardavila6647 were the transmission problems the diff and bearings ?
For some reason, there's something in the way the E92 M3 engine sounds that makes it so addicting to listen to than the other V8s. But yeah, people think you're a douchebag when you only want to hear the car sing...
Ant Logs the sound made me stop caring about what other people think a looooong time ago 😂
That fuckin face when you grinded the gear LOLOL
I rather get a newer 335is over m3 any day.
X2 - got one.. a 13 with just now 30K miles. And plenty mods..
Lmao who the fuck would do this 😂😂😂
You had a 335 but you didn't have an N54 and you didn't go FBO or after market turbos. You can upgrade the suspension on a 335i. Drive a properly modified 335i with 700HP.
JARED WONG tru
Yeah I got my 2013 335i because I couldn't afford an M3 and the value of used 335i's were so much better so :\
Shaun A Singh still sick tho
The s65 engine is bullet proof. But every 100K it will wear out the bearings and a few other components that will cost about 9K. And then you are good for another 100K. Just the cost of a. Entry level sports/touring coupe/sedan/convertible.
E92 M3 is very expensive to maintain, the price has come down a lot lately. It's not a daily driver because of it's reliability, the 335i is not known to be reliable and the M3 is even worse. There's too many places where the M3 has issues. That's why when I shop for both cars, the 335i is typically 1-3 owners at most where the M3 it is usually 2-4 owners. Mileage big different, M3 are usually sub 90k mis while the 335i usually 110k+
kick the clutch let the rpms climb down rev match to atleast 6k rpms and gun it bro
I love the sound too, although it would probably wear on me at times and it might irritate me to live next door. Many folks find it childishly inconsiderate to 'have to endure' excess racket, and they have point. Some may diss you fore that alone, frankly I sometimes want to throw rocks at a punk in a fartcan, I'm sure his friends think it's cool but to me it's pointless and obnoxious. All that said I definitely WANT an M3. :D
Start tracking and you'll see the real difference.
You have heard of suspension mods right bro? Most the M parts are direct boltons to all other 3 series. Thats whats its based on you know..
To compare the 2 is like apples to oranges. I ordered and purchased my M3 E90 new, still have it. I have driven new 335i for a few months. During my M3 ownership. The boosted 335 has more torque. But driving experience between the two is incomparable. The 335 feels like a cheap sporty 3 series pure and simple, almost like a cardboard box on wheels. The M3 just exudes a higher quality build and a sports factor that the 335 can not even achieve after spending more than what the M3 costs originally from the factory. So I completely agree with you x2.
How do I post a question?
+SUPREME LEADER ask away
Brandon B how do I post a question?
I don't know what you mean...Just comment your question here buddy.
SUPREME LEADER We can’t lift sanctions for you. Send Dennis my love.
I need to have you ride in my 1.5 60' 335xi ;)
Arman Filmz hey if seen your vids they are great
Joshua Walker thank you Joshua!
Had a 335i and it had downpipes with intakes and exhaust and jb4. It walked m3s from a dig and a roll but when i got my e90 m3 it was slower and i always sounded like a douche to get it up to speed with the revs but the handling is on point.
I have a 2013 335 and traded it in after 3 months for my M3. I prefer the M for daily driving because of the sounds and actually with the lack of torque I think it's easier to daily in traffic because the power and is so smooth and not jerky with the low end torque.
Drinking game.. take a shot every time he says "umm"
I currently own E92 and E46 M3s. I think it sucks that people make assumptions about us based on the car we drive. Part of that is jealousy, and part of that is when we make dick moves like take up two parking spots or swerve to avoid puddles! If splashing a lil water on your car ruins your experience in it, YOU ARE A douche bag! We all hate door dings but taking up two parking places make people hate you. Also, try doing your videos when you’re not driving. You just ramble and sound unfocused and distracted
Best car for windy canyon/mountain roads would be a BMW 1M
+asif naseri you're so right!
Brandon B hey man, I totaled my n54 335i and now I'm looking for a new car. I'm considering an N55 e92! I had the MHD stage 1 flash on my n54 and it was amazing. I know the n55 isn't as tuner friendly but will I get similar results from a tune on the n55?
asif naseri I have a e90 n55 and I did the jb4 upgrade, bms intake, vrsf catless downpipes. Its been running so good since I mod it. Keep in mind that if you go over 500 hp @ the crank on a n55, you might have serious issues but under that, you will be fine.
Kevin Bowker I don't want that much power, I just want like 400-420 crank horsepower with no e85 or meth. Will your mods be enough?
I have around 430-450 hp in map 2 3.8 sec 0-60 mph
This car belongs on foothills parkway not the dragon
I double park sure u guys can appreciate that..... Lol
If there´s nobody there why are you parking on an angle anyway? Don´t see the logic.. and to take more than one spot is always rude, just saying..
Literally “tried to describe the driving engagement” 197 times then cut out every single time……
M3 wins but as an everyday commuter what’s the difference in mpg
at least 4 mpg
the M3 looks very nice but the gas mileage with that 8 cylinder is a killer, I could never deal with running to the gas station every minute, to much money and time
I don't drive very far so it could be worse.
Yes it sucks but you don't buy an M3 for the gas mileage and you wont find a V8 with equal performance for much better MPG you get it because you want it.

Who gives a s#×t about what people think. Leav'em in the dust.
Good idea!
It's a classy car. RWD 3 pedal m3 e92 needs a precision driver, not fucking paddles and 400 ft/lbs of torque blowing out of turns. And nothing against paddles, I had a 370z with paddles and it was a great car.
I like your video, it was very informative. Recommendation, Please show less of you and more of the vehicle. Make a physical comparison of the cars.
People drive 335i cause simply cant afford M3 thats it who cares if could make a 335i faster by tuning it ypu gotta change the whole car in aftermarket parts cause it can't handle that power lol
You know nothing about mods
@@thinkingagain5966 ya you know nothing bout cars lol
This is sooooo biased now you are driving the M3. People are always MORE praise worthy of what they spent their money on lately, or have now. I have the M3 suspension on my 335i. And easily run with or even away from some of my buddies with M3's. I'll take the 335i all day long over a gas guzzling overpriced M3. My 335i feels so much better to drive than the M3 a few of my buddies have. On track days they have to admit their surprise at how well my car handles and accelerates out of the turns better than their cars. And I'm not eating those V8 fuel bills...
I own both cars. A stage 2+ N54 335i and a stock e90 m3. I completely disagree with this. The only, and I mean only, advantage the tuned 335i has over the M3 is torque. People who try to turn their 335is into M3s while ranking on the M3 is kind of funny.
@@chriswallace9113 You ONLY have a stage 2+ tune, and think you can speak for all 335's??? LOL!!! Well that tells me all I need to know about you... Just because someone builds a 335i, does NOT mean they are trying to turn it into a M3. And for you to think so is severely moronic. And shows a harsh prejudice for your own car. You'd need to do a V8 swap for this, and that's NOT happening. And an inline six full of forged internals with upgraded twin turbos AND A CUSTOM MHD TUNE is just better. There are tons of advantages that the 335i has over the M3. You're just too dimwitted and biased to understand or admit it. In any case, your thinking is too shallow to even discuss this reasonably.
@@AquaStevae That stage 2+ was FBO. I say “was” because I’ve since upgraded with 14T turbos and supporting piping. Plus I did a Fuel-It pump upgrade. No dyno yet but I’m hoping for 600hp on E50. Ive been working on BMW since 2003. I love my 335i just like you love yours. It doesn’t drive as well as my late M3. That is nothing against the 335i. It’s a torque monster. God help the clueless mustang driver that challenges it. The M3, though, is a high-revving, razor-sharp joy to scream through curves with.
@@chriswallace9113 Those are all very nice upgrades. Think about putting M3 suspension on the 335, and you will REALLY love it. Good debate. Cheers!
@@AquaStevae You know, I think I might do those control arms. Now would be the perfect time. Thanks, brother. Drive it like you stole it!
TL;DW v8
335i single turbo sounds better than the m3
u r deaf man
NOT EVERYONE WANTS AN M3, JUST BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT, DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T !!
Listening to this dude talk ruins the entire video. Next time make a video and title it “umm”
Very bad comparison video. You keep talking about m3 all the time. Of course you say m3 is a better car because you want to justify the investment you made. I jus saw a 335 do 7:40 on Nurburgring so it's plenty fast. And you have the famous engine failure with m3. As someone who was interested to pick a 335i this video didn't give me any good information about 335 other then how good a m3 is.
+tinoushgtr the M3 is a better investment hands down in my opinion since I've owned both. The information you need is to save for the M3.
The E92 M3 is a ticking bomb with it's known rod bearing issue. It's gonna be a E46 m3 or a 335i. Or go wild and get an Evo 9. Had a skyline gtr for years need something new. E92 m3 is too scary tbh. it wil break the bank if it's engine fails. But a m3 wil keep it's value way better just like my gtr did, thats true.
Get a later model and do warm up procedure and you wont have to worry about the rod bearings. E92 is one of the most reliable cars over 400 HP that is around. Very few things go wrong with these cars.
@@ShiftedPerspective rod bearings are still an issue in 2011 to 2013 m3s. Other issues like valve cover gasket leaks, powder coating damage from oil which can warp the cover, transmission gasket leaks, throttle actuators...with an n55 335i u have the hpfp for the most part. Possibly coils and plugs when you tune. You can't even compare reliability between the e92 m3 and n55 335i
Dude you made no sense. So again, what was your point anyway ?
a little too rambly
F80 vastly superior to E92
Except sound and driving feel.
Brandon B Sound, yes. Everything else, no. E92 is old news. Got to get the channel up to speed on the latest superior performing M3’s. Good luck!
