@@veryrare7647 True that, imo I don't want to drift my 335 to much because I am scared something mechanical will break and will cost me a rib to repair, might as well buy a e46 330 wich turn out to be great daily drifters. Aaron has a couple of videos about it with Evan Woss
I would try to see if a aftermarket standalone ECU to take away some of the over bearing bmw computer safety stuff that puts it into limp mode . Something has to be done. It is the future of inline 6 manual turbo great chassis drift machine .
How much I love my e92 335, these reasons are 100% correct why people do not really drift/track them. They can hold on but also cannot, so much electronics that can go wrong, the engine itself is bulletproof but the supporting parts are iffy, and if they go wrong it could go bad really quick. If the supporting parts weren't so "bad" so to speak it would 100% be the next jzx, s13, 350z etc
What do you think is the fix for the electronics? My buddy True who is in a lot of my videos had a 335i ( I did as well ) and it made burning smells from under the dash for awhile and then had some pretty disastrous problems after that which kinda cascaded along and took the whole car down because it was too much to self diagnose and test, and he just got over the car. Stuff like the battery cable has a processor in it and went out, and the car wouldn't charge. Random stuff you would never even think of or know how to find, because what other car company puts a tiny computer in a battery cable a foot off the battery in the back of the car. A stand alone could possibly defeat all that, but I don't know of any that really do yet. I think that would be the big killer part for these cars, a bolt on stand alone with a patch harness or whatever that allowed you to bypass everything that can take the car down when it breaks lol. Or maybe a very skilled 335i mechanic that helps you keep the thing going...
@@LoneStarDrift a Syvecs stand alone is really the only true commercially available option without drastically changing how the engine functions by switching from direct injection to port injection.

I do hold the opinion that BMW did not R&D the n54 engine enough, to much prototype stuff for them at least, injectors, hpfp, lpfp were the n55 still would have some of that but less then the n54. Best thing to so for these cars but kind off defeats the new drift car thing is buy a JZ/RB/LS and drop them in, then you have a nice luxury daily capable drifter, but you might as well buy a corvette then
My e90 335xi has the same issue with the door handles. It's frigging disgusting... literally the handle turns to super sticky soft rubber. Otherwise the interior has been pretty solid. N54 is super turnable with tons of awesome mobile apps like MHD. I have an auto and mine is an xi so I have tuned the trans and also recently flashed the X-delete which is great.

The N54 according to people's logs on the forums need to address coolant temp, oil temps, oil starvation during 1G laterals, and fuel starvation below 40% for heavy track usage. No off the shelf solution parts have addressed these completely but strategic planning can help sort such as what Adam LZ did during his HPDE track sessions is 1 hot lap / 1 cold lap rotations, pre-planning of what track you're going to and how aggressive the track is, and ambient temps. Yeah, I wouldn't use these in drift tandem because of the limp issues if these issues aren't addressed but really hoping vendors or someone with funds can help sort these out since prices for N54 cars are only depreciating further to 350z and pre-2005 240sx prices.

The 1ers are very similar to the e46 dimensions. The fuse box is a recall on the 07 3 series and 08 1 series. The E39 (5 series) are fun havers as well if 4 doors is what you are looking for.
There is some decent replacement parts you can get for the maintenance items. Like an LS style coil conversion instead of the pencil style. An oem auxiliary radiator that fits in the driver side front bumper. And an oem oil cooler for the passenger front bumper.

Otherwise it looks and sounds like a bunch of rich boys having a closed club where no one else is allowed.
I am commenting as I start the video so take that in consideration. I would think if you have slightly bigger budget, this would be a great car that could take you far into drifting. I have highly considered an 328i/330i e90, I feel like that might be the future e36 replacement as a great seat time/low cost car.
I keep thinking these would be great cars in the future, someone just needs to figure out the perfect combination of parts and how to maintain them. Forum posts and RUclips searches will probably be the answer long term.
N52 Cars (328i / 330i) are pretty much tanks. They have some of the common reliability issues like the N54/55 but being NA... have so much less issues. You're just capped at 250ish whp But gut it down to 3000lbs could be a good E36/46 replacement

You don’t have to remind everyone how much it costs, just keep it as a fact ie “yes it is 20k to participate, but here is the value....”
I addition I assume you want more people to get into events like that so why not make it easy for them to fundraise the necessary amount based on actual costs.
Otherwise it looks and sounds like a bunch of rich boys having a closed club where no one else is allowed.
@@KitTheGearhead Dan Brockett has a video on his RUclips channel where he breaks down the costs of Drift Week in detail.
damn this vid came out on my birthday this is my sign to build a drift spec e90 lol
Just awsome!! ThX Lone Star Drift!!!
I am commenting as I start the video so take that in consideration. I would think if you have slightly bigger budget, this would be a great car that could take you far into drifting. I have highly considered an 328i/330i e90, I feel like that might be the future e36 replacement as a great seat time/low cost car.
I keep thinking these would be great cars in the future, someone just needs to figure out the perfect combination of parts and how to maintain them. Forum posts and RUclips searches will probably be the answer long term.
N52 Cars (328i / 330i) are pretty much tanks. They have some of the common reliability issues like the N54/55 but being NA... have so much less issues. You're just capped at 250ish whp
But gut it down to 3000lbs could be a good E36/46 replacement
Is this car still alive?? the whole N54 community wants to know!
I am so excited to hear about this car
me when i saw that dash light clip... wtf?!?? lofl
Hi does any one know what hood he is running ?
Carbon Fiber VIS DTM hood
That phone app that says his stats!!! What is it???? Also looking forward to that "media making it pro" episode!!!

@@PEDRO-bc7fh ahhhh makes sense lol. Thanks mate
Love the content
I really don't get how you "only" have 82k subs.
What are the body kit pieces he is using
Ikon front lip. I made the side skirts and rear pieces.
Bc's riding smooth yea right lmao I got em on my lexus and you feel every bump
Great job 👍👌👏 guys
Got to ride in that car at texas bad ass car and dope ass driver
Car looks great, just maintain it. I remember when doriten spit out a 3 series with SR20 and then later seen W128 with SR. Just saying hahaha
This thing looks fuckin sick also
Not a drifter, but it’s cool to see the E90 335i being driven hard.
I’m planning on getting one for a track/street car. For BMWs maintenance is key..
N52 for the win 😂
Everything about the car is ideal and really good but the 326 isn’t my cup of tea
You should put everyone’s RUclips channel if they have one that you interview.
It is in the description
Oh wait I did that for Fielding’s, I didn’t realize who’s video this was

The sun is horrible. Interview ppl with the sun In there face next time please Aaron.
You can't stop Sy from being ARTY! Sometimes it works out like that Adam interview and looks amazing and sometimes you are starting into the sun. You can't have it all.
Lone Star Drift 👍👍👍
Wow. Two media guys standing around talking about "Their opinions" Who would have imagined. Sigh....Come on guys. Where's this "Content" you said you've been filming?? Oh yea "For BC coil Racing". Great. Skip this one folks unless your wanting advice on how someone else shoots a media event. OH WAIT There a minute of drifting at the end.
More driving less bs pretty please
i just bought a 335i and then this video popped! i made the mistake! but between this and a nissan i have to say im pretty happy with what i got! one i always wanted 🫶🏼
