A lot of people miss the point of the build, especially JDM wannabe teens. This was meant as a daily, the 325, 328, and 330 were all meant to be practical cars. Not tuner machines like the 335. I don’t see how you miss the point of this build when it’s said so many times throughout the video. “jUsT gEt a 335” if he was made out of money and wanted to do repairs often he would. No one in the right mind wants that as a daily lol oh them younglings and their short attention spans. I’m young too but I use logic and critical thinking when buying a car. Hence why I went with a 2011 328i LCI as it’s my only car. It does everything I need, when I finish college I’ll be able to buy an M4. The 328i is perfect for its intended purpose.
🤣 bro stop. Don't worry we all believe youre "super smart".
C O you sound like one of those jdm kids he’s speaking on🤦🏻♂️what he’s saying is true my g, every body wanna talk about 335i and m3s and shit like that, at the end of the day you may have a cooler sounding car but you losing at the end because the shit is unreliable, you pay 20-40k for a better sounding car and then you have to pay for more shit fixing the bs it’s gonna bring towards you🤦🏻♂️grow up Jit and learn what life is about, it ain’t about havin the most expensive car🤦🏻♂️
I have a 08 328i, I bought it half way through college and it’s been nothing but reliable, and it’s still a fun car to drive, I put on about 45 000 km a year (I’m Canadian) and the car itself has 257 000km on it (roughly 160 000 miles) and I trust it to bring me anywhere, and it still does all the fun reckless things that everyone think only 335 and m cars can do
C O you sound like a virgin. get laid, loser.
Andrew Shitts. Not sure how that's even relevant bud. ol' virgin joke huh. Classic. What are you 12? I'm telling your mom to change the wifi password when i come over again later.
Those wheel and tire specs look perfect. It's probably just the right compromise between looking good and still having decent ride quality!
Agree! The car had great handling and road feel!
@@ShiftedPerspective my 335i has 18's and all M3 sport shocks, springs, control arms, sway bars and subframe bushings. It is super stiff, not too ideal for the New England roads! I prefer the cushion of the 17's on my 328i!
It's almost like an i6 m3? I love the idea of a modern N/A I6 m3 build!

That’s how it’s reliable lol
Everyone ragging on it not being the 335 but honestly, for someone looking at a 328 for their only car, it’s a good choice. Mods are pretty easy to find and the majority of non-engine parts from the M3 should bolt up with little to no issues. Not a bad daily for sure. A good exhaust, tune, and some great fitment is all you need to have fun in that car
I’m thinking of getting one for my first car 🤔 and ofc daily !
@@0piummx just bought an 09 328i sedan about 4 days ago, and i love it. Gr8 first car choice, just make sure you take care of it!
I bought mine for the same reason. He want a sexy daily that's almost maintenance free. Keep the beast at home.
It's a great car and super reliable as long as you follow maint. I swapped in a 530i intake with dual DISA valves and used a generic 330I tune and that thing pulled pretty good and ran great until an idiot on their phone wrecked it.
@@Jonj57 how much power does did it make? I have a 530i and I’m planning to make it a lil sleeper

It runs absolutely beautifully. No issues.
119000 on my 13 🤙
Bought my n52 with 87k miles on it, and 4 years and 40k miles later ive put a headlight bulb, did my valve cover gasket and fixed a broken wire for my steptronic, oh and a battery. I had a civic before this, and the 328i has been just as reliable so far...though it helps tp get dealer parts at cost and do all your own work, these engines are pretty much maintenance free, just dont go over 7500 for oil service, crazy that bmw expects you to go 15k miles on an oil change smh
I do my oil change every 5,000 miles. I thought that was optimal, unless I'm giving enough hell to where a oil change may be needed sooner.
Such a sick 328! Nothing like a manual BMW
I had a 07 328i e90. Best car ever , just went through gas easy. Had electrical issues but when the car was 100% best car ever
I bought an 07 328i this past summer. Absolutely love it, however, it really does eat up gas though lmao
Got an 08 328i she eats gas too but still love it
I own an 08 328 I coupe great car !! 186k
Just bought my 07 328i and it broke down on me taking it home 🤦🏻♂️ oil pressure dropped and I had to crank the car without a oil pump fuse and jump it to get it home. Turns out the oil filter housing cap is missing the oil filter support and causing me to loose oil pressure so let’s see if that works...
Isaias Calderon damn good luck with that bro
“I like when I go past redline”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this video made me love my 328i even more!
A pivotal moment in BMW’s manufacturing and thinking was when they asked themselves, “Why are we building race cars and consumer cars? Let’s just build race cars and disguise them as consumer cars. Two birds. One stone. It worked. I love my 328i.
A modded n52 is one of the closest things to a e46 m3 after it’s all said and done. Maybe without the rod bearing issues either
Don't you mean an E36 M3?
An E46 M3 has about 350 HP
@@camposjesus3725 an e46 m3 stock makes 250-280ish to the wheels. N52 with headers and tune can make 250 to the wheels optimistically. Pretty similar driving experiences without M car maintenance, it still wouldn’t rev like a s54 though lol
I own an evo x now and i have to say, i truly miss this car. It may not be that fast but something about it makes it special. The way the engine accelerates is truly amazing. Its like a baby M3.
Huh? The baby M3 would be the 335i....
@@byronmiller3877 im referring to the e92 m3
I’ve based my build off of this guys and I’m absolutely in love with my e93. It’s not a fast car by any means but the aesthetics and overall feel out compete most cars on the road. My only issue so far is how bad it is on fuel mileage lol

just like to say this video made me pull the trigger on a 2011 328xi 6spd
Thank you for making this video I own a 11 e90 328xi and I love it. RUclips has tons of videos covering the m3 and 335i great to see someone showing the 328 some love.
328i performance is about how it's driven. 3.5-4k rpm is the sweet spot in any gear. Mine is a 6spd manual with 154K, H&R lowering springs, Bilstein sport shocks / struts, M performance exhaust (axle back), Forgestar wheels staggered 19' deep & super deep concave, Pedal performance black anodized pedal set, Alpina leather stick shift knob, 35% tint, Black on Black daily.....one of the most reliable BMW's with lowest cost of ownership
Hows the bilstein/h&r kit? I'm considering the bilstein b12 kit for my 09 e92 6mt. Thanks!
Anyone who says a 328 is superior to a 335 has clearly never experienced the n54 power
Yos Channing well if the 328i was turboed with 6 psi your already 40 wheel hp more than a stock 335 because the 335 is 300 at the crank stock not wheel hp so your argument is invalid really its only expensive because noone has come around to making a kit that is worth a damn or at all
Heff bpc put 24 pounds of boost and was making 750whp thats fact
with 6.5 pounds they were making around 350whp
But when the N54 goes boom...
Idan K. the 335 isnt even all that haha it really will blow up on you bmw makes far better engines for about the same price or slightly more now if were talking 2016 340i with the b58 engine im all in
Perfect daily commuter. Thanks for all the detail on the mods.
Love my N52. Perfect amount of power and torque after AA tune and bolt ons.
How can I mod my 328i coupe
@@LowkeyBadassWhat should I eat for breakfast?
I have a 2013 and its completely stock. For 4 years it has been nothing but fun and reliable. The turbo in the N20 might not be the loudest whistle but for a daily its beautiful to hear it.
I love my modded 128i the n52 sounds amazing with a muffler and res delete, so many pops and crackles.
Kai Levy do you pop flames? I have a modded 128i with a muffler delete and secondary cats delete.If I push in the clutch and rev it just right it will pop like a .22
@@123456bmx nope no flames that I know of, I think to get them you need catless headers and a full straight pipe.
N52s with res deletes drone like a bitch, do you live with it or find away around it?
123456bmx with catless headers it’ll pop flames. Stage fabrication in NC has a great crackle tune
Andrew I never hear drone lol
The N52 is a great engine. I don’t understand the diss it gets. It’s extremely easy to live with, pulls to redline, lightweight and is BMW’s highest output non M NA i6. Also, 328’s are the same exact car as a 335 except they are 200 lbs. lighter (100 of which are on the front axle) and more reliable.
Agreed 💯
I drive my 328i in manual shift 90% of the time. I get high revs, crazy power band, and can drift corners and do burn outs all from the first gear.
I think a lot of the people we see who diss the n52 are just riding the ban wagon.
ChewbaccaFetus 330 has more power
Pllumaj’s Garages it shares the same engine as the 328i though. Just a different transmission, intake manifold and factory tune. They made minor changes to the internals for the n52n but it’s generally the same engine as the n52 that came with the 330i.
ChewbaccaFetus it dosent necessarily get hate, it is regarded as a great car/engine that is quick and fun to drive(and especially reliable). The understandable diss comes from the fact that it is a much harder Platform to get power out of then something like an n52 the animosity usually comes in when people go balls to the walls trying to mod the shit out of the car and don’t when there are other bmw options like the n54 that makes it better for tuning
I own an n52 and this is basically what I’ve noticed and I kinda agree with not trying to mod the shit out of it
I agree, I drive a stock ‘08 328xi. Extremely reliable and never had any issues.
I’m looking at an 08 328xi coupe with 99K miles should I pull the trigger on it?
@@RobertSmith-vz9et if the maintenance was performed at the right times, yes.
@RobertSmith-vz9et or if you're willing to pay upfront to get all the issues fixed then go for it
i’ve watched this video more times than i can count. without a doubt this is definitely one of the best, if not the best, E9X 328i builds ever. i love the obligatory pull when Al realizes he scraped 😂
I have an e92 m3 and ive always had a 328i as a daily. Aside from oil pan gasket, valve cover, and starter everything is relatively easy to change and maintain.
My current and second 328i that ive owned has 122k on it and i feel as though its the perfect daily. Bmw feel and quality without a giant markup and a looming expensive fix around the corner.
I've been watching this build on e90 post, I've used this car as some what of a model in my own build of my e93 328i.
Same for me missing only headers and MILVs
I personally own a 2007 335i e90 n54, Alpine White. I love it but with all the headaches and issues I’ve had to deal with the 8 years of ownership, I’m really debating trading it in for a 328i. It’s NA and sounds so good, no more Limp mode! And I believe a little lighter weight compared to the N54!
It is lighter, the n52 block is interestingly lighter than the boxster motors in the 86’s and brz’s. i have a 2013 128i with the n52 in it. I’m reallyyyy wanting an n54 to build on but I’m aware of the infamous n54 issues, what’s some preventative maintenance you’ve done for yourself?
+60 wheel hp is a pretty..generous. Has this been dyno’d? With that being said, as a daily this build is CLEANNNN
How is 60whp generous on a full bolt on tuned car? I have a full bolt on stage 2 435 came stock at 310whp and is now sitting at 400-410 whp and 430LB torque average numbers on a dyno
Zero_MP 60hp is pretty generous for an N/A fbo build. Turbo cars have massive gains with just a tune.
Zero_MP bro your car is turbod lmao. Those are good numbers for a naturally aspirated car.

Planning on getting a 328i in the next couple weeks! Sweet looking car 10k, 56k miles on it
Did you get it
No way it was 10k for that low mileage.
I actually got a 2019 mustang GT
I have a 128 convertible. It's amazing. I have a secondary cat and muffler delete. Ram intake. 3 stage manifold. Bilstein shocks. Brembo brakes. Sprint booster
I daily a 128i MT and totally get it. I'm at 160,000 miles and get to wind it out multiple times every day, it's great. It's not gonna win you races, but you get to drive it like your trying to win everywhere you go, without dying. I get on the motorcycle to go fast.
I have a modded 328xi e90. It’s the best car. So happy I went this route instead of n54
Matthew Moser why ?
This car turned out to be cooler than expected. And yes with the mileage you do you wouldn't be happy with an M3 as a daily. Mine gets 13.6 mpg lol
Wow how have I never seen this. Alphonse has made an immense amount of contributions to the N52 community. Cool guy and sick car.
This video has me sold on one. This particular car is pretty much an inspiration. I can’t find anything other than white ones that I like in my price range. Any other color people tend to mod heavily. Which isn’t bad, they all have that well worn in look to it. The white ones tend to be all stock with significantly lower miles in my area.
Nice build! Looks like a fun daily driver! I am looking to build something similar with and for my son.
I currently own a 16 - 328d wagon for my daily and a 11- e92 m3 zhp as my weekend canyon / track car. The crazy thing is the e92 328 with the right mods kind of reminds me of my old e36 m3 in the way of fun to drive at a lot lowers speeds then a newer m3. The newer m cars are so good you seem to always be doing over 100 mph to really enjoy them.
Get your kid an msport 1014 328i and let him have fun doing cosmetic mods
I totalled one. No injuries. Paramedics said they had never seen anyone survive a crash like that. That's why I only drive BMW baby
187k miles on my e90 328i with a lot of similar mods but stock springs cuz of bad roads and winters here. I beat it to death and have neglected proper maintenance for years and it runs beautifully despite a few leaks lol. I don’t think there’s a better daily, it handles snow and weather great too. Its a well balanced, engaging, and practical machine made for the people who love to drive
The NA straight 6 engines are great as a daily, I put over 300k miles on my old 528i without any major engine work (original auto trans and fluid too haha).
That's high.. do you still have it
@zureai I do not unfortunately, I parted it out a little over 5 years ago.
@e39hamann Dang.. atleast you got to drive it for awhile! 300k miles is crazy. Here I am contemplating a "high mileage" 120k mile e92 328i... lol
These cars are REALLY fun to drive and work on. They may not be M4 Fast, but they are fast & powerful enough to get your kicks without spending an assload. Plus the maintenance is typically very basic, and of course you can upgrade these car.

I've been looking for a reliable summer car lately and I've been looking at these so much
bought a 2008 335i out of highschool for college and had numerous expensive problems right off the bat with 60k miles and turbo was going out by 80k miles. drunk driver hit me and totaled the vehicle (good thing) . bought a 2009 328i with 92k miles and been having it for about 4 years 130k miles and nothing has gone bad on the vehicle. very reliable and if you are looking for a great daily with style on a budget it is the best choice!
People only like to take low end and top speed into account when talking about these 3 series bimmers, but the 328i has a beautiful midrange no one talks about.
Good looking car, and cool guy. Kudos for reppin n/a! They’re still pretty quick, don’t always need the m3.
YocoWheelin but bitches don’t wanna sucky sucky if no M3 badge and V8

@ Michael Browski if you need a M3 to get sucky sucky, then it’s only because they think you have money, not because you’re layin PIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤷🏽♂️ IJS…
An e92 335i can smoke my E46 m3. Trust me you don't need a m car to be quick. The only pro to the m3 is the 6 speee, drivetrains, and suspension components, but honestly aside from the gearbox you can have a way better suspension setup than any m car out there installed.
Im on my second 328i coupe. Ive done about 60k miles between them both too. If you want a bmw with a 10k budget this is the one to get. Just have some money saved you’ll probably spend 1500 in repairs every year
I DD a stock e91 328 OE Sport Package wagon. It’s down on hp when compared to likes of a Mustang, but unassuming looks of the wagon, in togue fashion, have left them in awe in the canyons and the butterfly on/off ramps.
This guy looks like he can for sure afford an m3 but the look and joy in his smiles are what’s worth it! No stress just driving his car modding it know if all goes bad he can get another or fix it pure enthusiast

330i intake manifold is slightly better than the 335. There’s a forum with dyno sheets out there where somebody compares the two but given that the 330 intake is plug and play I would recommend going that route.

Great car. Perfect for the use case and well done. My buddy has a 335i that he dailies and he got it for 13k with 75k+ miles. It has been nothing but maintenance from the second he bought it and there's always something wrong with the N54. This car makes so much more sense.
crashyyy any 335i for 13k needs about 3K before it’s all working right. I know people see these for cheap but really you should only be buying ones from 15-20k. A 13k bmw will need some work
Well he did buy the car kinda on the cheap side and once you change all the common issues the car runs solid I’ve had mine for about 6 years but not gunna lie it is annoying to have to cough up several hundred for parts and labor... but you’ll have an engine with a lot of potential

One of my favorite videos you have ever uploaded. Nice work man, I appreciate the artistic intros... I see mr. Buice is rubbing off on ya!
Thanks man! I am certainly trying to step up the editing and cinematography skills
"no idrive, which i love"
*Attaches his cell to a dedicated phone stands* 🤭
Love the build though
Idrive systems from this era are slow and outdated , also looks more sleek without the idrive
Awesome car! Love the e92 n52 cars as a daily.
The bestttttttttt
I had the same car, Tbh I loved it! I never had any problems with it and it was a nice ass car! Wish I still had it!
Haros Vlogs what happened to it ???
Chemically got rid of it! It was clean as can be! Ima get a 335i soon 🙏🏽 at least I hope things go right
Man I totaled my E90 328i 😞 I miss it so much.... until I get in my F02 740Li 😝
Love these cars.. closest modern Bimmer to the old E36 M3 - which I love.
I purchased a 328 before I knew about bmws.... when I found out about the n54 I ended up getting one 🤘😁 best of both worlds
I’ve got a 2008 328i. Love ittttt
Everyone here bringing up the 335 misses the whole point, Reliability! I have a 328i n52 and I enjoy it a hell of alot. Great build!! I just have 1 question. If I provide my email, can you provide me details on the build, pricing, what you started with, any problems you encountered while doing this build. I'm currently stock. Thanks alot!
It doesn’t really seem like it on paper but I think with the right mods and driver a 6sp 328i could be really fast in the canyons. Maybe some weight reduction too this thing would be flying downhill
Thats what im thinking as well. looking for a cheap daily thats manual rwd and nice in the canyon but not a miata lol
I used to own a 328i and I loved it very reliable and decently quick, but I sold it trade it in for 335i now I have e92 08' 335i N54 FBO Stage 2+ making about close to 450whp I haven't dyno.
E92 Garrett how do you like it compared to the 328i? Trying to decide between the two cars tbh
I don’t think I could finished the video if I heard “It’s not an M3” one… more… time…
It’s a damn nice build!
This is much more reliable than the 335i. Great car
All bimmer are dope! Even 330ci convertibles 👍🏽
Lol no
I bought the same car 2008 70,000 miles I put 20000 miles in the last 6 months I'm up to 93 right now and no problem well I did was change the rear shocks in the front control arms an inner and outer tie rods
This guy was not interested in the modded 328i and you could tell by his mannerisms and the driver felt that. All I have to say is that 328i was badass there are too many 335i fanboys here who jump on the bandwagon because they can't afford an M3. When you own, drive and can properly maintain an M Series that's when youre in the big boys league until then you're just a regular without the BMW without the M driver.
You're right, this is not a car I would buy or modify, but I give props to my friend for keeping the build focused and purposeful. I am not the ideal owner of this car since i prefer other options out there, but I thought it was fun to share regardless.
LOL "only 328i with a N54 manifold" !!! 260 to the wheels lol this guy is wilding
Joshua Aguilar lol you have the same car and this guy would probably still smoke you
@@imihymb1167 yeah with how many upgrades? It's still a 328i at the end of the day its slow af. Spend the same amount of money on upgrades for a N54/N55 and this thing would look like its going in reverse in a race.
@@mannisingh4950 its a daily driver. Understand the purpose of the build before you open your mouth.
Wil Sullivan yeah because tuning it, raising the red line past factory recommendation, adding M parts from different N55/N54 models is gonna make it more reliable right? He complicated the whole engine bay more than it already was. Don’t talk about reliability when you can’t understand how mechanical things function in these cars you genius. It was most reliable when it was stock, not with all of these wannabe M parts upgrades.
@@mannisingh4950 how does a steering rack and control arms hurt reliability? Bc those are the only M parts. He said himself that in 40k miles he hasn't had a single issue. He has a tune for all the upgrades he did and added 60 hp. He's not going to be unreliable.
So excited my grandpa has like 6 cars and one of them is a 328i and he never uses it i migbt get it next year super excited
Driving a BMW, driving stick is the only way to go 🔥😱🤤🥰
My next car hoping to get it by the end of the year !
i bought an 09 328i as my first car about a month ago loving it so far
Would u recommend it
JahDread definitely
I’m thinking of getting one too as my first car as well and ofc use it as a daily ! 🤔 in the vid it looks pretty quick ! 😩 would u recommend it
@@0piummx i mean it depends whats quick for you. i got when i was 16 so it being my first car its quick enough for me and its a great daily but if you want speed just save enough to buy a 335i
Haha I remember seeing this cars build on E90post!
Damnnn a n52 that sounds like that !?!? What am I doing wrong? I have a e60 n52
Every car has its reliability requirements.. as long as you take care of it you’re fine.. if you beat on your car everyday expect to have higher maintenance costs.. you can daily whatever you want it just depends on your preference
mikey this is true, but if you beat on a 335 you will be paying more than a 328i. I think what he wants is something he can beat on but still be reliable and NA bmws offer that pretty well
Zayed Zaman true but then if he is spending all that money on upgrades to make it like the 335i. Then it’s almost equivalent
mikey personally on my 328i I’m not really trying to make it a 335i lol I’m ok with stock engine I’m mostly doing suspension and weight reduction upgrades. But ya, if you’re trying to do power on a 328i there’s basically no point
Zayed Zaman agrred
Awsome, I love all the mods. You have done it nicely.
I like Al’s style !
Looks like a lot of fun to drive. Insane!
Can’t wait to mod my 328i, it’s got a 320 hp potential
How? I have a 328i and it seems impossible for me to gain anything significant without forced induction which I dont want to do
CRZYTYGR I didn’t tune it yet but on the sports display on the idrive it shows 320 hp
If you can get past 300whp on a n52... It will basically have a grenade for a motor.. I'm sceptical of his 260whp. But I'd believe it with all the mods. But getting 300whp out of a n/a straight six? That's a bit much hahah
Where are my fbo n54 daily boyz at
What is fbo?
Full Bolt On.
Inlets
Outlets
Intercooler
Downpipes
E85 Pump
Chargepipe
Tune
im fbo and been dailying for about a year, I love this car its so damn fast but it's too expensive to maintain, so I'm selling it
right here bro
@@joshuaauten1300 lol how much, im looking
i got a 330i and it also pops like crazy
Nice. Love my 2013 e92. I stayed away from the 335 and M3 due to the repair maintenance on those Beast. Would love to own one but I'm happy with what I got. Mine is a 2013 328i M-Sport red coral leather seating with sports package everything except for the M3 motor. Daily driven. From when warranty was over till now. I've already spent close to 6 grand fixing her ⚰. And imagine repairing an M3⚰⚰⚰. Glad I made this decision 👍. But regardless I love my 2013 Break My Wallet 328i M-Sport.👌👌👌
Picking up a 2011 328i tomorrow, supposed to be a daily work car… yeah it’s getting a little work done😂
Great video, nice build!!!
Why does the whole vid just sound like you giving backhanded compliments cus it’s 328
This is it, I'm getting this car now.
I got a 2012 e92 n52 LCI at 86,000 for 8300 off this dude and I’m glad I got lucky and got a manual also! I did all the cosmetic now I’m add some power and I bought the 330i manifold 2 week ago got racing tires, got dual exhaust tips I’m waiting to buy the bimmer pro tune, gone be pushing at least 272hp that’s without headers I’m in Cali so that’s prob only thing I won’t do sadly
I gotta bone stocky 328i raced a v6 charger he couldn’t gap me
That exhaust sounds good idk what he talking about
Crazy how I've had to replace literally every gasket on mine, some more than once, replaced the motor mounts twice, replaced the water pump twice and it only has 90k miles
