My 435i coupe is now at 165,000 miles in 2024 and it still runs like new. Such a beautiful car to look at and fun to drive.
Hey bud I’m 145,000 in mine . Do you daily your car ?
Before I purchased my m4 I had a 435i stage 2 dinan tune and intake also straighted piped the car. It was more fun than my m4 honestly
Really? Cuz i want an M4 but ima have to wait till next year to get it and i dont want to wait a year i want a car already 😆 so im looking at other cars and i guess the 435i is the closest to the M4??
acuadras12 yeah get a 435i and a custom exhaust. Same fun cheaper price
@Jay Son quality is unquestionable, but fun is fun and M4 owners complain that the fun is on the high end of the speed (less accessible)
Why did u even change it
@@footballchampion3113 the m4 looks way nicer imo
You are spot on about steering racks, it was same with the old 3 series, and even my old 6. Ots most noticed under heavy front breaking
I had a VXR that I loved a lot despite the issues, I have no upgraded 😫to a 435i M sport convertible and it is just another level of a car. Thanks for the info I used it a lot 👍🏾
This is my 4th BMW. If you can DIY or have a good indie shop, this car is balls-out amazing.
Time replace my e92 and I was going to get another e92 but I really like the 4 series and this time I want the turbo 6 and a manual. It’s a must this time around.
great video thanks!
That was some really good information brother! If I decide to move to that format, I got a heads up!
thanks, Steven!
i bought my 435i last year, enjoying it so far & plan to upgrade to the M4 some day
About to put an offer in today, I watched your video and found it to be well presented. Thanks for the tips!
No prob! Good luck on the purchase!
About to hit 50k miles on mine. My oil filter housing gasket started leaking around 40k like you mentioned. Also a connection in my tail light housing burned out, which required a new housing as well as fixing the connection wire. The housing was 40 bucks at the dealership and they sell rebuild kits for the wire for $8 so it's an easy 10 minute job.
Nice to hear bro, great to hear you DIY'ed that and saved a lot!
So how much did it cost to replace the oil housing gasket. And did you end up doing the valve cover gasket also?
@@Unplugged704 The oil filter housing gasket was replaced under warranty. My valve cover gasket started leaking as well a couple weeks back when I hit 70k miles so I traded it in for a new a90 supra.
@@BallerVF Ok. So same problems over and over in each BMW model. Why don’t they ever fix it once and for all??
such informative videos ! i’m looking into getting a 435i if i don’t decide to keep my e46
I'm sbout to purchase a 2016 Grand Coupe 435i and a large portion of my decision is because of your vids, thank you and subbed all the way from Sydney, Oz.
I've owned a 435i xdrive for 3 years now. I live in northern canada ... temps get to -40c or lower in the winter and the things I hate the most is THE BATTERY SUCKS FOR WINTER "Low battery" warnings. low profile tires go flat in temp changes. and in the spring you'll get the drive train malfunction because I think one of the sensors might get exposed to moisture and freeze overnight. But other than that I freaking love it. Lots of power, looks sexy and with the msport exhaust it sounds really good.!!
The battery isn't the cars fault lol, buy a better one rated for low temps
well shit your right .. shoulda thought of that ................
Great Footage 😊
TPS are driving me crazy since I replaced a tire thanx to our beautiful streets of LA other than that the 435i its an amazing car I haven't get any issues since I bought it 2 years ago
Great to hear man! yea some of those LA roads are rough haha
I'm torn on one of these for my next car or ponying up the extra cash for a 440i
Glad I ran across this review. I was on the fence about trading up from my 2008 M3, think I'm going to just keep it ! Great review Brother, thanks
I personally wouldn’t trade it, the s65 is a gem of an engine, if I had an e92 m3 I’d keep it til the day I died and get buried in it instead of a coffin
My 2013 328i went 122k miles with only 1 issue - wastegate adjustment required at 91k miles., which I did at home with the software. I also preemptively changed the time chain and rod bearings (since I was there) at 97k miles. This is a know issue with
Ive been looking at a 2015 435i gran coupe. under 100,000km and $25k. and everyday ive been tempted more and more
Excellent, look at this in white
Once past warranty I would imagine it be cheaper to take repairs to another shop and not the dealer, and save $$$$
Something I see on the forums alot is the transfer case for Awd models. Change your transfer case fluid every 40k miles, same with transmission and front and rear differentials. Those are all big ticket items if neglected
very good point i forgot to mention!
BMW transmission fluid is life time. 1 quart is around $100
@@FIFAxCoinxMaker thing is BMW dosnet make transmissions. Zf and getrag are the suppliers for their transmissions and both have a recommended service interval
I would tell you to change the fluid once a year! Just change it with your oil change.
Would it be a good daily driver? And what about it in the snow?
I have a 2016 435i ZHP with upgraded 7" FMIC, Catless Downpipe, Chargepipe & a MHD Stage 2.5 Tune.
Sounds like a beautiful ride! I love the ZHP cars
i see it has a aftermarket intake replacing the mppk intake, is the aftermarket one better? I have the mppk and was curious
10+ minutes just say 'make sure the vehicle is taken care of, not damaged and in good condition' in 7 different ways. Peak informative video 👍
you will be surprised by how many people that dont check for those things, especially for people that are buying their first car
I just bought a used 16 435i Msport, M performance.... I love it !!
If you're getting a 2016 model id go for the ZHP they only made 100 of them. i am lucky enough to own one and stock they come with 35 more hp than the normal 435i's. i spent about $1,200 and its about 380whp! also the 2016 ZHP 435i comes with the M4 differential!
Why should i get a zhp over a regular m sport??? You think it will hold value better or just better?
@@theSTEWiiiE well the zhp has everything m sport but the best reason to get a zhp is not because of the m sport or rarity of only 100 being made. I'd say it's because of the m4 differential it comes with, but that's just my opinion. The reason I got it was only because it was available to me at the time of searching for one. I got it because it had everything msport, i honestly didnt know it had the m4 diff till after I purchased it.
Aaron oh ok. Do you mind me asking how much you paid and mileage. Just want to know because Im thinking about one
@@theSTEWiiiE in total i spent about 2.2k for vrsf FMIC 7inch race intercooler, vrsf charge pipe, vrsf catless down pipe, ngk sparkplugs, ignition coils, 4 dyno pulls, MHD license, MHD 2.5+ Tune and installation. & my car currently just hit 40k miles. i bought it with 35k miles a year ago but i only use my car very rarely and mostly on weekends.
I bought my '15 435i with 42k miles. It was super clean but had some wear on the drivers seat and the steering wheel. I wrapped the wheel in a leather cover and will have the front seat fixed some day. I've had it for about a year now and am FBO and the car has been amazing. I think it's all about the maintenance.
100% man! glad to hear its been an awesome car for you!
Must have been a Heavy set guy sitting on seat bolster flattening it out over time .
How much?
@@Wsshdhbdd How much what?
@@jacksampson7711 hey buddy, you still got that car? how was it overall? how many miles did you keep it for and how reliable was it? Too much maintenance? Thanks
6:46 My E92 had this problem. Disappointing BMW didn't fix it in the F series.
Great info!
I’d been looking to replace my E46 M3 after an accident. And my E46 330i isn’t the most reliable.
I absolutely love it and look forward to enjoying my Gran Coupé.
E46 is the greatest 3 series ever made. Honestly? The e9x, and F cars are nice, but they are junk for the most part.
This is coming to you from someone who works on these for a living. They are leaky, plasticy, junk that look good, and move fast.
Lynx Star Automotive should I be scared? I had an e60, shitty plastic but plastic is cheap and I repaired the leak myself for 50$! However I would’ve been in big trouble if I didn’t have a car to borrow... what’s the most expensive common leaks you see on this car ?
@@alexvillaneda8228 my brother works on bmws and according to him it’s the e90s, i’ve heard better things ab the F gen tho but i’m no expert so take my words w a grain of salt😅
Totally agree with you Omar brilliant video as always take care Bro
thanks bro! you take care as well
Just had my 370Z written off because some bozo skipped a stop sign and T-boned me in his pickup. I'm considering the M435 as a replacement car, but after hearing you speak about the fans overheating, ruptured cooling pipe etc, I am now scared to have a another BMW. Owned a 550i a few years back and the fan also failed, had gearbox issues, oil leak from gasket etc. I got rid of it within 15 months and bought the 370. People say BMW's are reliable, but I find that outside of motorplan they become less so. Had my 2009 370z for 6 years and not a day's problem with it which is kind of unbelievable considering it was an 11 year old car.
BMW are reliable as long as you maintain them. If you bought yours second hand, there is no way of telling how the previous owner took care of it and may require a lot of money to repair it. Best to buy brand new or used that have never had any mods on it prior. Never buy a car that is dropped and modded because you can best bet they drove the shit out of it.
@@IAmDamianieveryone has this experience with bmw it’s a reason there going so low 😂
perfect, I'm looking at one tomorrow!
awesome man, good luck!
@@SimplyCarThings Me too, tomorrow! I was initially interested in the 428i, but hubs said please get a 6 cylinder. lol
when he talked about those M performance parts... 'check if it has the carbon front splitter'.. I"m looking at a used 435i and it does have M performance parts but it's more a matt black and not carbon. So then it's fake?
I still have this car .. it’s 2015 m coupe package with a 49kMiles still
Things to look out for: have the M sport package, have xdrive, you're set.
no xfrive available for 2017 and earlier in oz.
@@gazzarover Oz? xD 2015 420d has xdrive.
@@xXFeralArtsXx 435i 2016 doesn't
Noted. ps- If possible, can you describe M Performance and M Power? Thanks either way.
@@Oni-One M performance relates to the exhaust. M power is a OEM power kit with 355 hp, warranty, and a larger oil cooler.
I think the excessive weight on the rear and having 3 passengers really takes a toll on the rear tires.
what do you mean by excessive weight on the rear?
@@SimplyCarThings fat guy in the back
Are the rear seats any usable on this car or just extra storage space?
I own from new 440i and I can say the leather is not durable at all. Easily scuffs and wears. Good video. 👍
Machiavelli III I agree! Thank you for watching!
Mine 2013 and almost 200k km on it leather still like new.
I own a 435, I want a 440. How is it?
Love my 335 but damn I miss a coupe..
Gotta love coupes brotha, but great to hear you're loving that 335i
I just traded in my 2009 335i coupe. I bought it in 2015 with 78,000 miles on it, last night it had 200,000 on it. In all those miles only brake jobs and an alternator. That’s pretty impressive. I traded it for a 2015 435 coupe M Performance package. It’s fast! Need a good commuter. 79,000 miles. The 435 is gorgeous
So if I’m looking to buy one around 20k miles then all should be okay as long as I’m looking thoroughly through the car i.e interior gadgets and engine bay: charge pipe, oil leaks etc
As a prospective 4 series buyer, thanks for the video! I have a few questions:
1. Do you know why the oil filter housing gasket/valve cover gasket starts leaking at such low mileage? Are there any ways to prevent it from leaking? Are there after market parts that are reliable alternatives?
2. I've read that the N55 water pump fails at around 60k for some(some even being shortly after being replaced/and some lasting to 100k) without any warning. Are there any alternatives that are more reliable? I'd like an 435i for commuting with/road trips, but having a water pump that randomly fails is my biggest concern. Of course, anything can go wrong on longer trips and with mileage, but when it's common enough to be mentioned through out forums, its a bit of a worry.
Matthew I im not sure why the oil filter housing gasket leaks so early, however id just attribute it to a fairly mediocre design along with a cheap gasket, its not a huge deal though, i’m at 56k miles on my M235i and no signs of any leakage. The water pump on these newer EWG variant N55’s like in the 435i are much more reliable and less problematic than prior years so i wouldnt worry about it too much! thanks for watching man 👍🏼
Can we communicate by any social media cuz i want to buy 428i after quarantine.
German car engines run hot for emissions. Gaskets don't last as long as a result and fail
Bmw is known for failing water pumps, I replaced them many times on 7 series and 5 series. Learn how to replace them yourself and you can save on labor cost
Dude I replaced mine ONCE at 140,000 miles. I have driven all across the country in my 435i. Replace it once and you are good to go. Along with coolant hoses and thermostat.
So many “common issues” (problems) across many BMW models, year after year. Why don’t they ever fix it???
I started looking at the 4 series really love it. But after hearing all its issues I'm starting to lean toward an Infiniti Q50. I never hear anyone having issues at low mileage.
if you were looking into a coupe I'd say probably look into a q60. Fabulous looking car.
What were the issues on 4 series?
Also did you get the Q50 and how has that been?
Do not get the vr30. Had mine for about 9 months and already looking into trading it in for something with a n55 or b58. Steering feels dead, transmission sucks, engine heak soaks like none other, turbos go out stupid crazy, belt and pulley bearing issue on brand new blocks, on my 2nd block and 5th turbo in 9 months. It's trash
The 435i is the better car. It's a masterpiece. The q50 is not a bad pick for a large sedan if thats what you want.
@@alisakran7063 the Q are ugly as heck. BMWs are more reliable than Nissan as well
i’m really struggling on deciding whether or not to keep my 435i 6 speed or sell it and purchase an e46 330ci to have more room to play around with it and a more reliable car, i can’t really decide
Bro keep the 435i
LOL. I had an e46 coupe before. Keep the 435i for the love of god. You will deal with the same issues on a car not as fun to drive or own.
I found one for 21k but had 4 owners and has 85xxx miles so we shall see if it’s worth it and hopefully nothing is wrong with it
Did you get it?
how did it work out for you?
Seen most 2014+ m4 go for about 35k online so I feel like the m4/m3 is a better deal
Yea the M4 is the better car for sure, but it's important to remember also for $35k you're looking at a relatively higher mileage M4, higher insurance cost, and most likely more maintenance.
@@SimplyCarThings that's true but m3 with a manual is just something special
@@Ray-no9sj oh yea, 100% i agree with you
姐姐微信来了 You can get an F30 with a 6 speed too.
I know what you're saying about oil leaks alot of BMW's say 12k to 16k oil change l change my oil everything 4k l work on cars and it doesn't make sense to change the oil once a year why not take car of the small things
Yea I change mine around 5k miles usually
The leaks are definitely exacerbated by the extended service intervals. That said, these cats are known leakers.
First thing I did before buying my Beamer was to look at my bank balance 😢
I’m looking to buy a 435i m sport package but I just found out how much it will cost to replace the turbo because eventually it will break down. Have you heard of any issues with the turbo? Around $4,000 for a new turbo with labor cost
If you replacing one might as well get stage 2 🤣🤣
Never go to the dealer, instead go to Motorsport shop. For 4K, you can get upgraded turbo installed rated for 500 HP. FYI
2:05 we don’t care about paint should be talking about real problems like engine and transmission
How many miles is to many on the 435i
wounldnt buy one used over 70k miles
I’d like to get this car but I’m kinda afraid of how it depreciates tbh.
Yep. That and reliability, costs of repairs $$$$$
I feel like 4 series dont depreciate as much as the 3 series
all drone coming out my speakers
car was fully straight piped with a stripped out interior lol
Looking at a 2016 435i grand coupe x drive 93k miles for $23k . Would you pass or negotiate?
That’s a steal 😂 I’m in Seattle a 435i 2014 95k miles was 25k
I’m about to go look at a certified used one from a dealer for 16k w 95k miles , we’ll see how it goesss
2015 ^
435 or e92 m3 ???
if youre looking for a nice daily driver, get the 435i. But if you want a nice weekend/track car, get the E92 M3
If you were to choose would you get a 2015 335i fully loaded 75000km or a 2016 340i fully loaded 40000km. The difference in price between the two is about 10k. Trying to decide
435i owner. Definitely 340i - it's a massive upgrade over the 335i and heavily regarded as the best bmw in the line up
@@MendaMeister7 i would agree, it all depends on your power goals in my opinion. If you want the ability to make solid power easily then the 340i is definitely the superior choice
@@SimplyCarThings just for clarification sake - the 435 to 440 isn't as huge of a jump as a 335 to 340. I personally chose to buy a 435i over a 440i and price was identical.
@@MendaMeister7 what makes you say the jump isn't as big?
@@SimplyCarThings without going into detail. I'll talk strictly on feel. Test drove 435i auto. 440i auto. 335i auto. 340i auto and ended up buying a 435i manual.
From 435 to 440 2016/2017 - what I felt wasn't hugely different. Handling felt the same, the car felt nice and blindspot etc features were conveniences but nothing between the 435/440 felt like "this is a different vehicle entirely". Turns feel heavier on the 435 compared to the 440 but very barely noticeable and could entirely have been attributed to tires. Both vehicles were used at the dealership. 435 was a vert and both cars were driven on the same road/day. Didn't really feel something massive.
For the 335i I drove it before driving a 340 but after driving a 435i (not a 440).
when I drove it I felt like okay its zippy and nice but nothing blew me away.
That's until I test drove a 2017 340i. Holy shit was my first reaction. Feathering the pedal felt like it was maybe 60% faster (it wasn't). Corners felt sharper, almost like there was more body roll but the cabin was designed to move better. Its really hard to explain but when driving it. I would never go 35 over 40i on the 3 series. Engine aside the cars handling itself felt really refined.
How likely for a pwg to spin a rod?
not very likely as long as you're changing your oil regularly and not pushing insane power
BMW I was on top of the oil and just had a stage 1 BM3 tune on my 335i n55. I spun a rod and the engine was toast. I was out of warrenty and shit out of luck so I sold the car for $8500 and bought a new Honda Accord sport 😂😂. Had the car for about 5 months and I’m already looking at f30 340i’s and g20 m340i’s.
Daniel Gazaryan mileage?
Daniel Gazaryan also f30 or e9x?
N55’s have weaker internals than the N54. N55’s are just much more reliable in *stock trim* than N54’s. However, the N54 is the one you want for mods and tuning.
You should of made this video two months ago 😭. All that being said though i fucking love my coupe
lol! I shouldve haha
Simply Car Things i was trying to find videos of the car everywhere before i bought it

Can you come with me to check out one I’m looking at haha
Same!
23k for 435i m sport 88k miles in amazing shape. Yeah or nah?
Yeahh
I dont understand, does the M sport package have some variance. All the ones I am seeing that are posted on craiglist type site have "m sport package" but I dont see the CF rear diffuser.. no spoiler no front lip. But I do see the blue m sport breaks? I'm so confused now..
I believe there’s a m sport package and a m sport aero package
m sport is the bumper, m performance is the diffuser
I BEG you, how can I make my 335i n55 compete with an m3 ( in terms of handling, and corner speed ) . If anyone could help.
Tekiplay 123 m3 is like a 335’s big brother you can only ever compete if you tune it . JB4 then or BM3 tune recommended
58k too much on a 2014 435i?
No, not at all in my opinion. The car has plenty of life left in it
@@SimplyCarThings how long will this car last?
From the future inflationary world of 2022, I am sad
Currently own a ‘17 Mustang Supercharged GT decked with mods (around 680 HP), but am thinking of selling for an F32 or F36. For those that own an F32/36, would you recommend? Or stay with Mustang? I’m a full time college student dorming, so won’t drive a lot (unless to parties ;) lol) Looking for a more comfortable car that’ll save me a lil more money as GT is bringing me too many problems (My supercharger is straining the engine too much). Also, what year F32/36 is best? I have a $35k budget. Or any other BMW’s models y’all recommend that can sound really nice with a tune and some mods. Thanks!!
Honestly if you want something reliable and cheap don’t get a 435i if you want something reliable and expensive to maintain get a 435i mustang is always gonna be cheaper in general
Think about something American if you want reliable and want a bang for your buck and don’t wanna cringe at maintaining the car it seems like these cars always pile on the problems all at the same time this is coming from the owner of a 14’ 435i M-sport
Other than maintaining the car they are very reliable and put down power easily with very simple mods you can have the equivalent of a M4
joey alves got it thanks! How have you liked your 435?? I don’t mind some maintenance, but have you encountered a lot of problems with yours??
alexander orozco none whatsoever

I do
@@manganenisikhosana9045 how had it held up?!?!?

M235i or 435i??
M235i as a drivers car, 435i if you more of a daily but still with great performance and looks. In my country the 435i are more expensive so there is not really a question.
@@nightoftune what's wrong with how the 2 series looks?
@@holahovito11 Nothing wrong with it. I have a m235i myself and had 4er and M3s. I would say for most people the 4 series is more appealing because it looks more "grown up". So its just an opinion you can not make a "wrong" decision. just get the one you want. As a sidenote i would say the 4 series is the better daily because of it being the "higher class" with better tech, more daily friendly suspension and roughly the same used price. But the 2 series m pack is the purer, nimbler more driver focused car. Its utterly fun!
No manual with the xdrive 235 but u can get a manual 435 with xdrive. Doesn't even make sense
Hey bro am new on RUclips I love your content, I want to be friend let's support each other.
95% of this video is just general advice for buying any used car.

The cheapest USED 4 series here are still 43.000 USD.
Dude i have one here in NYC, 60k miles for 16k.
Ike O. how’s that treating you so far? im in the market for one too
That car is going to seriously depreciate over the next few years. So if you pay $25k today in 3 years you'll loose half at least in depreciation plus get almost nothing back on all your maintenance and upgrades. Low mile full service record E92 M3 stick better option
Sounds good to me I will definitely wait until they price drop
I love the E92 M3 as well, but the problem is most aren't looking to get into one. As good of a car it is, for most people it's not a practical daily driver due to the higher maintenance, fuel costs, and lack of low end torque associated with it. For $25k you can get a pretty low mileage 435i (25-35k miles) where as an E92 M3 in that price range is around $35k+ If you're looking for the best performing car, the M3 is by far the better choice, but it's definitely not the most practical.
@@SimplyCarThings bought a 08 e92 m3 stick 85k miles for $18k 6 months ago pulled the motor replaced rod bearings beefed up a few other things added a superchaged its a beast. All in with upgrades and mods im just under $25k excluding sales tax a license at purchase. I haven't lost a dime and in 3 years probably won't lose much. Not sure where you buy your m3's? I purchased mine in Henderson NV drove flawless to our shop in Sparks NV. I stand by my depreciation estimate above on the 435i.. If they take your advice they will take a huge hit. Brother thats alot of money to waste in depreciation.. just another point of view take care see ya at the track.🤙
@@SimplyCarThings for 35k you can get an F80 m3.... Fuck the e92 m3. Plus I've seen 50k mileage for 23,000

Ive owned two. For a clean one its about 28k before tax/fees
yea obviously for a fully loaded xdrive with low mileage its not gona be 20k bro lmfao i think thats common sense
