Here's How Much it Cost To Build My BMW 335i On a "Budget"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2020
- Very few things in life bring as much satisfaction to a car enthusiast as building their own car to to their liking. Of course the amount of money it will cost to customize a car is a massive factor and a lot of the times dictates what direction to take. After building my 2008 E93 BMW 335i for a little over a year, I decided to share with you all how much it would cost to get the final results I was able to achieve. And hopefully you'll get a better understanding on how much of a budget you will need to build your personal car. The total cost of my build does not reflect how much I paid as I've received free and discounted car parts but more so the true cost that viewers can relate to.

That total in the end doesn't include installation, does it ?
I’d say $15k isn’t too bad, honestly I was surprised how smaller mods here and there weren’t as much as I thought
and im here driving a $6000 car and feeling bloody cool with it
Tsar which car?
Fr lol ive spent 20k plus on mine
Jake Goldberg Can i ask how did you make your money to have enough for all these mods?
15k for 400hp no gracias 😂
It still sounds pretty budget compared to the 20k - 30k builds that people spend over time. The preventative maintenance costs are the one that you shouldn't ignore. Cristian, you laid out a lot of information on what to look out for before you upgrade. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Best wishes as always brother!
👊🏼
BMW SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
😎
Honestly 15K is pretty modest for a car of this calibre, you did a great job!
Have you seriously not changed the smoke alarm battery yet?
I was bugging out thinking that was my smoke alarm hahaha
I literally just pulled a smoke alarm down in my living room thinking it was an issue on my end. This should be illegal
It’s a beautiful build man, perfect. I agree about the trunk lid , I really never liked spoilers most look trash but I love those minimal ones... I don’t think that’s that much $ for all you got, especially if someone is slowly doing it over a couple years. Definitely worth it, the car must drive amazing.
It's pleasure to drive every time.
I’ve had my 335i coupe since 2012 and have been adding mods slowly over the years thanks to video recommendations like yours. I have been keeping an excel file tracking the costs and I am around $14k. Keep up the good content!
Of course labor cost is a big factor when it comes to building a car unless your wrench (Which still costs you your time). I’ve been fortunate enough to not have to pay labor thanks to partnerships with shops like Precision Sport Industries which is why I didn’t mention such costs in the video.
Open Ranks Big thing to say for someone with 8 subs and 0 views 🤡
@Open Ranks wow, never caught that personally!
Hey can you make a video of all the maintenance cost plz!!
@Open Ranks you sound like a massive hater, have fun with that...
The videos shared with your partner shops and sponsors give information about what to wrench on and how to deal with it. But it can help with troubleshooting issues as well! I of course look forward to current and future builds. Thanks Cristian for sharing your experiences with research on vehicles!
Great video. You can always tell a car enthusiast by the knowledge of the details about their car. Most people won’t know the tire size off the top of their head.
Hey Christian, love the mods you've done to the car. Really makes me want to do similar to my 09 535i.
Been watching you since 1400 subs and man this channel has grown rapidly in the past 2 years. Keep up the awesome work. Hopefully when I get my drivers license in 3 years I’ll buy myself a 325i e92 and mod it like you did to your e93.
Just got my e93 a couple weeks ago and stumbled across your videos. Has me pumped for my build!
I bought my 335i e93 after being inspired by you
It’s booked in this week for tuning and exhaust intake etc then next week for body kit suspension wheels etc
Can’t wait
Awesome man!
When I and my 2 sons saw your car at bmw invasion. Bro Your car is nice I thought you would have spent well over 15K that's not bad at all. You are blessed to have PSI to help you, that company is amazing. Keep up the video's bro
❤️
Definitely a video I'm sure has been begged for.
Budget can be spending according to what you can afford or willing to spend. And just because the total for this build is $15k doesn’t mean it was in one shot, everything adds up so just be patient with a build and the money will be spent well when you plan ahead.
Facts
So fire bro ! Can’t wait to see more of the 335i
Funny how I bought a 535xi with a similar color you ended up with and actually wanted to go black or dark blue. It’s growing on me though. Really glad I watched to the end. I definitely want a similar steering wheel.
i’ve been watching your channel for so long and bought my first bmw on friday i’m so stoked !!
Congrats!
Considering how your car looks and goes now i think 15k is reasonable. I can imagine its at least 5k more to that on maintenance. Good job, i am really happy for you.
For a bmw at the level yours is now I'd say that's right on the mark
Keep it up g mad love for your channel
Love your vid can watch from start to finish
I’m running Falkens too, good stuff 👌🏾👌🏾
I got my Dual cones from SSR Performance and they’re pretty great, got em for $60 if I’m remembering correctly.
😍love it can’t wait to get mine
Pretty expected for that price. Plus you learn along the way, and make some good networks for future builds so you can budget easier in the future. Labour is the real kicker but sometimes you might need to fork out $12k all up for the parts rather than making multiple trips and could save you a few days worth of labour. Also if your building the car over a long period of time it may not feel like your spent that much on it until you add up the total yearly cost haha
Love the video brotha! 💯
Wow, price is far lower than I expected. VRSF parts are such a good value 🤩
💯
yeah that wrap job is 💯
“Hot air intakes” nope, it doesn’t matter since you have an intercooler. The intakes are what feed air into the turbos, then the turbos compress the air which makes the air hot, the hot air then flows to the intercooler which will cool the air down before it enters the throttle body. I believe Vehicular DIY made a video about this.
Great vid, It would be great if you can track your car with a POV camera once your car is finished! It would make a great vid.
That total investment is not too much for a high hp bmw. Less modified or stock 335i cost near what you paid in mods. I mean you have a beautiful ~600whp, sorted out 335i. It’s a great car that you should be proud of!
@Bisforbuild dynoed the DCI's and saw a legit gain in horse power. $15000 is a lot of money to spend on a car. I myself would have probably went for the DD turbo setup, 600HP street car is enough for me. I agree with you on the steering wheel I have a flat bottom from Mashimiro and you want to drive your car all the time 😆
I just scooped up a 2010 335i convertible. Gonna do a build series on it. I see your in Florida too.
Its amazing how long its actually been with the 335i
15k is pretty average for a car build especially if there’s engine work involved. When you consider that labor was not included, you can add another 5-10k conservatively. Is that a lot? Not if you have it. Thank goodness for those sponsors. It’s a give and take though. I’m sure they’ve gotten more business from your viewers. I got an Aza steering wheel myself after watching your video 👍🏽. Keep up the good work ✌🏽
Definitely a Win Win Win with sponsors (reputable ones at least). Companies win with marketing, the content creator wins with parts and the viewers win by getting to see content on the parts or service. I'm sure you're loving that steering wheel!
I love your build!!!!! So beautiful! I have a 2015 X4 35i bright red, M sport, but in the future, I will do something like this. is it reliable? you got the N55 right?
15K isn't bad to have pretty much fully customized your car to your liking. And being able to push 700hp makes it a full blown track car too. But still calm enough to daily drive it. In a year I have about $1500 into the car. Biggest cosmetic item for myself was a set of OEM 359M wheels I grabbed from a friend for $800. And they already came wrapped in Federal tires.
I spent about 19k CAD on mine, so kinda similar to this in USD. Thing is that I did the build slowly throughout 4 years basically. So really it came down to a little under 5k per year. Not too bad.
The car looks super elegant though💯
nice vid bro
Thanks for info
thats not bad for a 335 tbh your probably gonna make 600+ whp so i say it pretty good
I spent 15k on my e92 335xi/6 but I spent about 8k on just parts which consists of new turbos and a full drive train overhaul with engine swap and upgraded clutch & FBO. The car alone was 7k. No exterior mods yet besides rotiform wheels and LCI tails.
Finally got one!
Awesome video and break down of everything.
I think $2700 for a complete wrap is a bargain. If you were to get the car painted it would cost way more and if it doesn't then I bet it's someone spraying in there warehouse or garage WITHOUT a paint booth, dust and shit everywhere. I'll pass but I'll jump on a wrap, you can change it any time you want, any color you want. It's a "poor man's" paint job lol. But seriously it also protects the original paint, as well.
It's a no Brainer.
Also $700 for a complete set of those tits, brand new, they look great too but the price /reviews make them a great pick. Most ultra summer tires are easily $200+ EACH.
great vid
Burger Motorsports tested and confirmed their dual cone intakes do NOT pull in hotter air than the box. It also gave the car 15whp
Awesome video
👊🏼
Hey man, I wanted to figure out what is your opinion on the exhaust flap mod or “golf tee mod” I want to make my E93 louder without getting into a new exhaust kit. Should I really do it?
The only thing I would say is LCI lights are dumby easy to get, otherwise sick video🤙🏻
Hey can you do a video of maintenance cost plz!!!
GET A c6 CORVETTE THEY CHEAP AND FUN 🤩🤝. Also I remember when you had like 2300 subs now your at 242k good work homie. 🙏
Ever thought of doing a single turbo upgrade?... What are your thoughts on that?
What’s up man?! If your ever there this week or next week you mind getting some footage of my car that would be absolutely awesome!!
NicoTheFriko?
Emil Aby my car is being built at PSI where his is
@@NicoTheFriko what car is it?
Emil Aby a black 335i sedan
Wuuuaaaaooooo, that's nearly how much I paid for my 3 years old 330e hybrid.
Will the exhaust system from vrsf fit in 335xi lci sedan? Since it is xdrive I'm wondering if that would cause problems
I’m a 19 year old. Ive been wanting one since 2010. 🔥🔥
Thinking about buying one this winter!!
Your too young mate, unless your parents are rich you should focus on your future. Ask yourself, do I want a juiced up BMW or do I want to move out. Alot of us are just at a different stage of our life, most of us watching have these cars already
Burnt Avocado I’m subscribed to this channel because bmw is the best car, at least for me. I’ve been saving for this car for several months now, I’m working and I’m planning on getting one myself, when I turned 18 I started working and stopped asking my parents for money. But hopefully someday. I live in Michigan and there isn’t a lot of cars like these, so it’s kind of hard to find the one I’m looking for.
Hey bro, I felt you on that. I just 20 and I got my 2010 E93 335i when I was 19 and yes, it's gorgeous car but I'm going to tell you right now don't do it unless, you either know how to work on cars or you got money for labor and most likely you won't find the engine in perfect condition and that's where you play catch up with maintenance. I'm not trying to scare you from it or anything buy I'm just gonna lay it out in front of you, but you got it.
George Nakhla thank you so much!! You are right, I live in Kalamazoo Michigan, there isn’t any maintenance for the German cars, I’d have to drive for 2 hours just to do an oil change.
And again, thank you for your advice and support!!
Burnt Avocado very true. I thought stupid like this and got a BMw e92 coupe at 18 don’t get me wrong was great but really regret it as should’ve really focused on my life and future but hey ho I have a e220 coupe and premium pack 69 plate now 😎
Hi very cool video :)
Thank you!
I'd say its justified especially the condition your car is in and power it produces.
About taillights, did you have to change the wiring in the lamps to fit prelift?
I dig the satin silver.
hey buddy, first of all great video, but i have one question: if the police stop you and they find all the mods under the hood, they could bring your car because it's tune? i'm italian and here at the first police control with a car like this they'll put it under seizure and after that there's an insane expensive ticket to pay 😬
Love your vids! I’m going fbo and wondering if I should go with ARM or VRSF. ARM is cheaper, but is it worse in quality? Love to her peoples thoughts on that... thanks
Can't speak for ARM. But as a person that has been using VRSF parts for over a year, it's hard to beat what they offer for the price.
I have mostly VRSF on my 335i.Only ARM product I have on my car is the 7in intercooler. Both great companies in my opinion.
we want a video about the engine out service you did
I’m thinking about getting a 335i or 328i for a first car. How much HP is ur 335i pullin rn?
for the power and fun u have with 335 i 15k is good
were you able to sell any of the parts you got rid of or did you keep/trash them?
matte wrap do show body lines vs black gloss hides and looks small
$35k 335is 2013. 19k miles 2016 1yr warranty left. u did fine on budget. i dodged hpfp bs.
It's a beautiful build, truth be told, but again, it's a costly build, you've got to really like the car to spend that much money on it. The one thing that really stands out is that steering wheel and those carbon replacements. The car looks awesome, overall
One way to make the build much more affordable is to eliminate the vinyl wrap and upgraded turbos. That's a $8000 cut and you still get a badass car.
Hey bro, I was wondering if you could help me with a little list to modify my 335i e90 n55. I love your videos man!
What exactly do you need help with? Shoot me a message via IG
Why haven't you gotten the M-Sport body kit?
Man I need one
Do E92 headlights fit on a E93?
Forgot to add in the valvetronics unless u resold it and if not would u be willing to
Giving it away once I hit 10K followers on IG
What did the preventive maintenance cost?
Dope af lol I went outsider rhode island to Massachusetts to get my E93 335i for 15k with 74k miles a month ago cus the silver just reminded me of the one in NFS most wanted. Call me a nerd for the reasoning. Silver just looks fucking fire. Been trying to find where I can get parts but no one seems to source E93 just The other models. Tried to ask if a charge pipe would fit from a popular website and they said they're not sure if it fits E93. Glad I found your channel I'll see what I can find for upgrading/maintenance it! Definitely my video right here. Subscribed!
i have to beat up on turbos on hot day to ride oil temps upwards, YET DINAN INSISTS $1600 OIL COOLER for stage3......suxs
Christian, I also have a 335i Convertible and wanted to know if you needed to use a spacer for the 19inch rims and tires.....
I didn't use spacers
colder ngk yet?
My e92 has that lip thought it was a different style bumper until now 😂
I’m trying to find that lip but I can’t find it, link???
Are your wheels and tires staggered?
no trimming on stepped vsfr, u had to TRIM on big race cooler, the denser cooler cost more than your $550
I've seen this car in person at PSI, it's even nicer in person
❤️
How long did it take you to get your headlights back from bay optiks? How do they know where to send it back too
Contact them or visit their website for more info.
have you had any problems pushing 700hp on the zf transmission ive heard theyre only meant to hold up to 500 and im debating weather to get a auto or manual??
No issues at all. I don't launch the car from a standstill.
Why summer tires over all weather tires??
What company do you know can customize a jeep wrangler?
Good build bro .You forgot add brake kit to this list
That's right!
It's little too much but I understand where you were going with the vehicle
8:38 remember. WITH 99 cents
10:03 I finally made it back from checking my smoke detectors... Might wanna check yours homie 😆
Lovely!!!!😩😩😩😩
One of my favorite builds because I've been watching this build since around the start. How much power are you making now post-budget build?
Haven't dynoed it yet. I will soon
whos here before 1000 views
Nice price
I paid more for my subie after I did everything. main reason why I am considering a 335i or is.
im planing to buy a e90 325i and it'll cost as much as your mods
