I hope this eases a lot of fears for many people and just brings some real advice when it comes to this platform. I really wanted to make this point clear to the younger crowd of kids as well such as myself who are in high school or may be in college.

335is ....I own 3.5 years cracked charge pipe and broken control arm bolt stuck in rear hub. Only issues I’ve had . Good thing for car max warranty the rear hub issue cost them about 6k! Keep up nice videos man .... oh dealer swapped to index 12 injectors as well no charge . Other than that pretty much it .
got a 13IS with a custom tune, Suspension work and LSD myself. Only issues is OILfilter hg leak and trans leak - all covered. my charge pipe went on day 1 of MHD S2 I was on the way back from dropping off the complete thirdmember with the Mfactory LSD for install.. :-)
Seeing N54 in the title made my day! *click*😂
Anthony Wright there’s more N54 stuff coming!
I was dead when you said “ take them to gapple bees “ 😂😂
Francisco Quintero 😂😂😂
Here's what went out on my 2010 335i last year only: valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets, oxygen and fuel pressure sensors, water pump, starter, rear diff side seals, oil pan gasket (not fixed yet). That with some regular maintenance is around 8k in a reputable indie shop. I enjoy the car and plan to keep it and repair for a couple of more years, and I'm prepared to spend thousands of dollars for that. If you're a college kid the 335i is not for you, these cars are not getting any more reliable as they age :)
Lol you’re gonna pay 8k for all that? If so, I have a really cool product to sell you lol. Learn to so stuff yourself you idiot, that’s probably like 2k at most in maintenance
I read somewhere that you should always keep $2000 set aside when you own an n54. I think that's good advice.
Don’t forget the walnut blast 👍🏼
Yes your right about all the problems but I still love my 335i 🚗
Dont get a N54 335i unless you are prepared to work on it yourself or have deep pockets! Keep up on maintenance and it wont let u down. Im no mechanic but ive done all the work on mine so far. Oil filter housing/ cooler gaskets. Valve cover. Replaced brake pads + discs. Spark plugs and coils. Intercooler. Charge pipe. Upper rad hose. All vacuum lines. Love the car to bits! ( not as much as my Honda Fireblade tho!! )
That's pretty accurate for all BMWs :)
most people ARE NOT made for the n54 platform. good video, people need to know what there in for !
Yes more N54 videos would be amazing. Getting into it right now. Looking to purchase a 335is in the next year. However they are not easily found especially with a red interior.
I love my 335i. It really isn't the type of car one can own without maintenance. I have had very few problems with mine. I had to replace some sensors and I am using more coolant than I feel like should need to but having said that I have never driven anything more comfortable and sturdy on the curves. The car is quick, looks great, and is extremely fun to drive. It's worth the maintenance if you ask me. This guy is totally right about many of the things he mentioned. If your one of those people who never change the oil or get a tune up this car is not for you. Turbos will need servicing.
Completely agree with you on all points man! Well said.
Bruh no cap mine is 185000 miles and i have owned it since 130000 miles...only things i have needed to replace are the old coolant hoses and vaccum hose. And the plugs and boots....and i beat tf out of my car lol
Haha so right... I’ve had mine for 3 years and I’ve had over 8 major issues arise from the ashes 😂 currently working on replacing my ballast (igniter) & control arm bushings.. and my valve cover gasket lol
it's a process for sure, but these cars are amazing!
Ive had one for 3yrs and have replaced all these things and its worth it...my daily beast and once you start to tune you wont stop
(N54) tune, drive, repairs.
(N55) just tune & drive everyday 🤣
hehe - had a 13IS (n54) for 3 yrs.. Only standard OFhg leak and trans gasket (covered with extended).. Oh and its got a custom tune, suspension and an LSD - but I dont beat on it,...
Brilliant video really informative and well put together regular maintenance is the key to not only BMW’s longevity but any make of car
ive beaten every stock turbo n54 locally to me (fbo port injected meth e50 you name it). So haters can hate on the n55 all they want, I love how sleeper it makes the car
Steven J helll yea that’s what’s up haha
@@SimplyCarThings Steve J. This Steven Johnson has your back! I done broke off a couple of folks in my N55 335i too! Ain't hatin cause I'm a BMW person! But I'm good with mine! About 450 to the wheels is cool
Hehe most e9x n54s nowdays are tuned, so pretty sure n55s gets pissed on
Ryze pretty sure you’re a dumbass. The m2 /m235i n55 is not the same as e series n55 and it shuts on the n54. Learn something
Ryze also I said stock turbo... not stock. And I’m stock turbo
Someone needed to make this video. These n54s break no way around it but we still love them lol
Will Das Neves totally agree haha
I'm in my senior year over high school and have owned a 335xi for 6 months and haven't had any major issues yet. Fingers crossed nothing will happen lol. I'm broke as fuck.
how is it holding up now?
@@jarnovandergoes3163 I went stage 2+ with it but it had too many problems so I reverted back to stock and I'm trying to sell it for something else. Car runs fine tho.
I love these, this is why I haven’t bought one though smh. Having a devil of a time finding something to pair with my 2007 Accord V6 6spd man smh
Thing is, when you buy ANY BMW, you're buying them for the all around driving experience. You buy them cause you love cars. And when you love something, you should be willing to pay.
good content. you should make a video explaining when these problems should occur
yesterday i ordered a KW Suspension V3 for my M235i
next i need Rims...i think i go for OZ Ultraleggera in 18 inch
SpoonTeggy bro I would highly recommended the OZ ultraleggeras they’re super light and look awesome!
yes i think i take the OZ...but i want them in bronze and im not sure if it fits on estoril blue...i think it will look pretty "raci" @@SimplyCarThings
I've put 5k into maintenance this year alone. Not to mention upgrades.
On a 54 or 55?
@@bigjack6698 n54
thanks for making this after I got a 135
Just got a 335i with 280k miles. Is it safe to run this stage 3 single turbo with the stock charge pipe?
LMAO!
Whaaat 280K miles?
Go for it...
Peyton Graf full send bro
Do a compression and leak down test. If everything looks good go for it.
I just purchased a 335i 2007, really hyped
richbandicoot congrats man!
I been shopping for 335i coupe manual. N55 is garbage for power. First one I took for a test drive I thought the turbo wasn’t working. My GFs genesis turbo coupe would smoke it stock.
I start to get worried when my n54 DOESN'T need work! I sho do love it though 😍
LOL! I always thought the same haha
Simply Car Things lol yep its like you can't fully enjoy the spans when it runs great cause you're waiting for the next gremlin to pop up 😉 #N54LIFE
Running costs for my 335xi n55 were more than my 996 turbo. I gave up on it 😩
really? dang! So far mine has been fantastic. Not a single issue
Simply Car Things it was one of the I got one of the N55s ever made. many of the fail components were straight off the N54. Seems like BMW shored up there issues on later N55 engines.
C B that’s what I’m starting to read about as well, f-series N55’s seem to hold up pretty well. How did you like your 996 turbo? I love those things
Simply Car Things awesome car! reasonably priced a 120-150k awd rocket for ~50k. If no kids would never have sold. You just rip the doors off 99% of everything on the road without having to mod.
*I miss the N54 videos* 😭
Jake Spence I’m gona get back into making more of them!
I love my 2009 335xi. It truly is an Ultimate Driving Machine However, I have had my engine die on me while driving due to coolant tank failure, all of my injectors had to get replaced because the engine was spewing black smoke, there was oil leaking onto the engine due to leaky (?) Gaskets, the ball bearings on the front right tire wore out, and the power lock on passenger side died. Just to name the major problems. If the next job costs me more than 1 grand, I'm selling it
Also the air conditioner is dead after multiple freon refills and recharges-claims there's no leak. I appreciate your video- very informative.
Very good video man! I'm a fellow M235i owner in Seattle, stay in the look out for matte blackout one!!
CJ Hilton thank you so much man! I’ll be on the lookout man that’s awesome!
Those 335is rims looks nice What wheel setup is that for the 335 on the thumbnail ?
If you dont want to deal with the crazy maintenance, get the same car, but the more reliable one. 328i. It'll just be a little slower, but still fun :)
thats true! I loved my 328i when i owned it haha
@@SimplyCarThings It's my future car 😄
Worth buying one with 20k miles for $20k from Carmax so I can abuse there 150k mile warranty ?
Bring back this intro for juice
I’ve been driving a 08 335 for almost 2 years, while yes I’ve had problems I dog this car And she’s held up nicely. I’ve been thinking of going to the IS for a little upgrade but everyone’s saying just hop in the M3 e92. Thoughts?
Ben Gutteridge I dont wana do it for sound Im all about that 0 to a 100
Everyone says the m3 is a better faster car but I can’t tune it too 700 ponies with less than 300$
Stephen Conley if you’re looking for straight line speed the e92 M3 is not the right choice. 335is is much faster. But the overall sound and driving feel of the M3 + the beefy looks make it an awesome car
Simply Car Things it’s hard to let go of the n54 for anything other than a v8 but what about a 435 n55
I will keep flying the n54 flag over here in Australia im a bit of a specialist now tho 😀
I’m trying to decide between getting a 2011-2013 bmw 335i (n55) or a 2011-2013 bmw 335is (n54) I am leaning toward the 335is but it’s much harder to find a coupe so I would likely have to go with a convertible
Also you’ve got in the thumbnail 335i pointing at an IS🤣 points deducted for riced out camber
2008 N54...Ever heard of a DCI installation causing the car to go into limp mode frequently? getting a P052B code. Considering going back to the stock air box.
I’ve never heard of that
Do a LS swap into your 235i
Only thing you need to know about a bmw N54 335i is that it can kick some m235i ass any day. Performance and looks, you name it
MAS N54 please lol obviously yours as well but still never forget to show some love
LOL @ 4:11 in a nutshell, I still love my N54 though
I'm considering one of these for my next car. I'm aware of the waterpump issues and such. But the wastegate rattles gives me a scare. Would you suggest uprating the wastegate springs to prevent the rattle? Or just take it on the chin when it eventually happens?
Go back to the N54!!
As soon as you dropped the M word I smashed the like button bro.. lol
I was thinking about getting a 335i, but now that I know about Gapplebee's I am done thinking. Please don't tell the seller.
Hi there, I am purchasing a 335I N54 2008 model with 100k miles on. The shop I am purchasing from covers oil,water,engine, gearbox and rotating assembly. Would you say this is a safe bet for the next 2 years coverage?
I’ve own my 335i for 3 years at early 19 I got it. It has been a pain in the ass waterpump x2,injectors,spark plugs,coils,battery, brakes n rotors, pulleys and serptine belt. If you do the maintenance yourself like me, then is car is for you! If not you should stay away and stick to a newer car.
That water pump should have lasted longer lol. My stock one last 68 k miles and i just changed it last year august
Who’s car is in the thumbnail?
Ive been really close to getting one but I'm always reluctant and back out ,i may just full send and get one
Rowald full send it bro 😏
Where you from? I’d like to trade in my 328i for a 335i. Would like some insight
Ill choose a n54 over any car
Any rim ideas from my 2014 435i? Could use some help
Were you get the cover picture from. The 335i?
335i is a great car
First!!!
Dang I didn't know you're in Seattle, was just there for about a week over spring break!
Elijah Chavira I’m from so cal actually! Thumbnail is just a pic from the car in Seattle haha
This again? 🤔
1 thing is be ready to replace the injectors and hpfp aka save 3k to replace those 2 parts.
Damn 3k? Omg my car its less then 1k for those parts
@@Ryan-ue9ve Yeah welcome to the N54 world, have to say that I let it done but still then it would me around 2k in parts
@@tuned4life thats crazy, i really want this car but i want something a bit more reliable. Ive owned bmws before and they are great but when things break they cost an arm and a leg to fix. Ive gotten a lot more mechanically inclined since, but if parts still cost that much then it might not be worth it 😭
@@Ryan-ue9ve Yeah I read some horror stories to but I also read that some had replaced injectors and they hadn't had an injector isseu in 5 years
335is 235is and 135is are not sleepers. Everyone knows about them.
Biggest meme of the last decade is """IT'S A SLEEPER CAR!!!"""
All car broke down
@2:58 does anyone know what wheels those were
Every car will have its problems at some point, its not because its a 335i n54 it's because its a car... SIMPLE
not entirely true, the N54 is known for many specific issues and flawed parts that affect its reliability
@@SimplyCarThings what parts is it knows for? Since seeing someone's video on there 335i i was really thinking about getting one next, Iv got a golf gti ED30 atm, plus a normal golf gti mk5 dsg, but hearing these problems has turned me of a tad, also the gear box, it seems abit slow, would a remapp on the auto box speed it up, make it fast like the dsg box on the ED30s the M3 box is very quick, down sifts are sick wen you got a custom exhaust, my friend has a m3 e92 with the auto box and it changes gear just as fast as the dsg in a ED30
Is it a good first car?
Absolutely not lol
Yeah I now have my eyes set on a Hawkeye
bro its me im back 2008 335i coupe and im here to let you know your 235i will not be as fast as my 335i and at the end of the day if you can maintain the car yourself or have a warranty on it get the 335i so you can smoke 235is at the lights WE ONLY WANT N54 CONTENT
fuck it im sellin it valves r on the horizon
Boost leaks.......... expect a lot of them.
Yes, very true
Do you have Instagram bro?
I rather get 335is no 🧢
M235's blow I think you're finally starting to realize that and that's why you made this video
435i Gang in this ho! #F32
BoogieHighRoller they slower than a 2013 335i?
