BMW MAINTENANCE FOR N54

WHAT MILEAGE SHOULD YOU BUY AN BMW N54 335I AT? (RELIABILITY ISSUES?) 
Хобби
Got my 09 335 E92 new since 2009 w/ 110k and I can vouch that you must keep up with maintenance and do preventative maintenance if you want a reliable ride. No slackers…
Look for oil sludge around the belt, dried coolant on the hoses, get under the car and look for obvious leaks
N54 it can be reliable if the engine and the car has been looked after but its kinda rare to see an clean N54 with no issues. most N54 have major problems example the serpentine belt
That's not a problem. ALL cars have their unexpected design or engineering issues. i.e Chevy Equinox has too small of a PCV system and the cars implode, PORSCHE have crammed engine bays that reduce the life of plastic peripherals and seals. in the N54, belt issue is not an issue with the belt itself, it craps out because of DELAYED replacement of Oil Housing Gasket / Valve Cover Gasket.
SO, technically it's user error.
@@E-Sangiovanni So your saying since n54 owners dont change there gasket and seals that the oil leaked and damages plastic and belts?
You did nail it- be prepared 😆
I had 2009 335i - at 55k miles
Had to electric water pump
Valve cover gasket
New coils
New coolant lines as well.
Had my first bmw to be a 335i and I had my good share of issues but I loved the hell out of the car lol wouldn’t mind another one
Good vid bro! Had serpentine belt on my 2009 e90 335 snap a few years back, not fun lol
It really isnt fun at all 😂
Currently in the process of buying a 09 n54 manual 65k miles. What struck my interest was how well it was taken care of such as, new gaskets, new belts, new turbos, fbo, custom tuned 450 whp, coilovers, whole timing system was recently done, new coils and plugs, plugged head ports, cam ledges, cam sprocket, crank hub and lock kit, and water pump were all recently done. everything has dates as well as receipts to prove what was done to the car.
damn how much are you paying for it
Receipts don't mean shit.. look at what happened to that M5 recently
its crazy that replacing turbos under 100k is just normal lol
I have an 0o 335i mt it's stage 2+ e40 blend I did get the maintenance done except index 12 Injectors. My car has had no issues for a while. I will get the 12'd if needed but truthfully it's been so dialed in im scared to mess with anything right now. Unless your handy and are prepared to do the maintenance yourself don't buy a beat up one. It will cost you more in the end
i have a bmw 335i 07 and it's a beast
i got index 10 for dirt cheap and pure turbos new water pump and thermostat and all gaskets... for 1200$ (without the turbos of course) and man it's f awesome after 1 years of torture it's working fine 😂
Just got my white e93 n54 with 43k miles only and I LOOOVE IT.
Got a 07 e92 n54 from a police auction with 107k miles for 4 grand, needs some work but turbos look new, I’m guessing someone took care of it before it was auctioned
I’m absolutely noobie to anything BMW 😩but that n54 sound and performance is so FIRE
Yup that's exactly it. I bought my second one for $1500 but it had the serpentine belt and pulleys done as well as the water pump thermostat and oil filter gaskets. However it also had 185000 miles on it. But the engine has been fine and is still perfect I put in everything else though
This makes me feel better about buying my e90 with 169k miles. Recently had all engine gaskets, coils, plugs, injectors, new trans, stage 2 FBO done.
hows the car been treating you?, whats the miles on it now and hows maintenance.
I get trying to defend an engine you like, but “things around the engine” is stuff like the battery, or the AC, or the power steering. Injectors go directly into the cylinder, and the water pump directly feeds coolant into the water jacket in the core of the engine block.
Like any car John you must do maintenance regularly to keep any car especially a BMW or Mercedes running ok can’t legislate for unexpected items going but maintenance first before performance 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
I agree! Just n54 tends to need everything all at once 😂, makes it stressful to own if you arent ready for it
i have a mazdaspeed 3 that i love its quick and real cheap on mods and maintenance but my friends 335i was on crack intake intercooler and downpipes was the things done to it and that thing would gap the f out of me so i got real intrigued in buying me one. the nightmare storys do scare me just a bit i can replace my speed 3 motor with just about 2-4k and already have done so twice 😭
I have n54 never heard of the power steering pulley I should replace the entire pulley or just the belt?
Great Video! - I laugh at people getting scared of the 335 N54. mine is a 2008 335xi 6MT with 194,000 miles. Stock turbos and NO power mods. It still pulls great and still gets 7psi of boost. I do ALL maintenance according to BMW and a little more just because I LOVE working on it. I still have Index 9 injectors and plastic pipe charge. have only added 19 inch wheels, OCC and Cone Air Intakes
Still have it?
@@alexinadon7999 Yes, and just did new belt and pulleys, rotors and break pads. These cars are like Legos; so simple to work on.
Also people are writing "well taken care of" and "custom tuned 450 whp" in the same sentence... It's like saying "i'm on crack but really healthy".
🤣@@Jean-Pierre.Hortefeux
@@Jean-Pierre.Hortefeuxahahahaha facts😂😂
How can i find out if updates were done when buying a car off japanese website
What yall think about the n63 550i? Is that a bad first bmw? Or is 335i a best first bmw?
Considering buying a manual e93 n54 335is 2013 at 100k someone please help me out and give me some advice as to weather or not I should/if a 335i with an n55 would be more reliable, don’t want to mod too too much, keep it generally stock. I’v never owned a bmw but always wanted to please help me out!
Is 170k too many miles for n54. It’s a manual sedan (my dream trim) turbos have been replaced it’s clean but it will be my first n54 any insight????
My 2009 BMW Z4 35i has 143,000 fairly trouble free miles on it. New injectors a couple years ago and usual oil changes are about it. 😀
Doesn't the z4 35i have a more powerful n54 engine
@@sins2344 the N54 in the 35i is rated at 300 hp, however that is understated as it’s actually 330 hp. Plenty of pep for me. 😀
i might buy a FBO 335i 2009 with 143k miles for 7k its pretty nice build. but im scared abt that mileage. is this to much or u think i’ll be good
@@tk-topic4510 I just bought a 169k mile 07’ for $6k with recently done: coils, plugs, injectors, all engine gaskets, new trans, walnut blasted in jan, and it runs like a bat out of hell and has issues but very minimal
@@tk-topic4510 stage 2 FBO
First time bmw owner and got a n54 🧍♂️because I can do it
Happy for you 🙏
Im about to do the same😭
I bought mine aswell first user 😭
After my first one it was clean body wise but a shi* show motor an trans wise since that car I’ve bought 2 more lmao bring me pain!!!
Me too 😂😂😂
I am about to buy 2007 335i tomorrow for 10k from Costa Mesa
79k mileage, 1 owner with clean car fax and good maintainence. After I watch yOur video I kinda scare from it :) now i don’t know what to do because I drove the car yesterday and it drives very smooth
I just got one with 122k for 2500 bucks can’t lie maintenance is expensive for some of the stuff I don’t have time to fix due to my work schedule but it’s a fun car I’m coming from a slow f30 328i
I got a decent bmw e93 335i fully converted to an m3 (except engine ofc), fully specked out interior with a 60k mileage, however I had to replace my turbines, injectors, coilovers and now I need to replace an oxygen sensor, fix slight oil leakage and fix my damn breaks, because they squeak so bad :D Edit: Oh and also this is my first car lmao
If you have m3 brakes your pads might be squeaking because you’re not running hot enough, if that doesn’t make sense google it idk how to explain it
how much did u get it for?
@@iamtimko8103 carbon ceramics squeak when cold.
DCT and LSD?
How did you afford that for your first car ? Everytime I see my dad repair his 335 it’s Atleast 2k per trip to bmw
I just got a 2007 e90 335 for around 3000 it’s crazy. I think I got a really hooked up deal on it. Because it has the index 12 injectors, Walbro fuel pump, new turbos and tuned. What do you guys think?
Injectors are not cheap. New index 12 injectors are about $1200 for 6 of them (what I paid a couple years ago) so $3000 for the 335 is a good buy in my opinion.
What is the mileage like on it, how have you found it so far?
ALL cars have their unexpected design or engineering issues. i.e Chevy Equinox has too small of a PCV system and the cars implode, PORSCHE have crammed engine bays that reduce the life of plastic peripherals and seals. in the N54, belt issue is not an issue with the belt itself, it craps out because of DELAYED replacement of Oil Housing Gasket / Valve Cover Gasket.
SO, technically it's user error.
i’m looking at an 08 coupe right now, 136k miles, red seats, sport package, x drive, tons of mods already done and most of the stuff you mentioned already replaced. it’s $8000, good deal? Not sure how much market has changed in 7 months.
yes
Do you think an n54 at 58k miles is good?
Currently have an '09 e90 on hold with Carvana. It has 55k miles and they're selling it for $18k. Seems pretty low mileage, and that it'd still be in a position to have preventative care done. Looking through the carfax, they haven't done replacements on any parts yet, so I'm not sure if that's of concern. I'd anticipate needing to replace some parts by 100k miles? Anyone have any words of advice? I'm coming off of owning a 2010 Audi S4.
Lol low mile BMW means the service time is coming up so you'll have to do all that right off the bat if it hasn't been done already... but 18k for an 2009 e90... lol....
18k is kinda high but if it has 55k on it worth it because people are selling ones with 100-130k for like 15k in my area
I'm 17 and bought a 145k mile 9 owner e92 335i manual for only 3k, currently in the process of replacing literally everything and i'm not having a great time
I think I'm going to sell mine . I've had it like 3 years almost 4. It's at 113k miles. 2008. Silver outside with gray inside. Only bad thing is the rattle. Everything else is good. What price should I put it at ?
@danielschoen7523they go for 18-20 here
I’m trying to find an black e92 335i xDrive is anything past 150k miles bad?
it depends what maintenance they have done ask if timing chain was done your supposed to do them at 120k
What a bout the BMW 330i? I heard they are reliable? I am looking for a BMW and heard the 330i is reliable?
I have one. Really fun car, not worth dumping money into it cause the power gains are so minimal. Just get a dinan piggyback tune and call it a day. I had to replace a bunch of coolant lines as in the b48 its a common issue. Other than cooling issues its a sturdy engine for a daily driver
what is the n54 if not the water pump, injectors, and other components. These aren’t problems around the n54, they are simply n54 problems
Sadly I had an awful experience with my 2009 bmw 335i e93 convertible. Needed a replacement engine. Many guys in U.K. had bad experiences, vast expense with runflat tyres to, engine issues, engine components. Bmw do make better cars/engines. Personally I’d stay clear of a N54. Choose wisely. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I feel that, the n54 isnt for everyone
Run flat tires are trash
Someone probably beat on the car hard before they sold it, I bought one from some old guy and it need a lot of maintenance like gaskets, coils and what not but great car
I have a well maintained 335xi Dinan tuned stage 3. I love it! I prefer it to my husbands newer bimmer. Much more fun. And faster!
I got a 135 convertible. It was adult owned and they replaced to index 12 injectors. The Reason i prefer the n54 over the n55 is because the engine itself is much stronger. I can repair a leaky water pump or get new turbos. I cant replace the block or rod bearings like the n55. N54 gets a bad rep for people who buy it dirt cheap and cant maintain it.
I got a 08 135i convertible too! Bought it with 59k miles currently at 66k. Love the car only thing I’ve had to do was pulleys and a radiator hose. It’s just hard to like my spec because it looks like a grandma car thinking about trading it for a hardtop or z4.
@@N54-8K get better wheels
I have an AT 08 335i, car has clean record no issues lights or anything, looking to make about 500whp if anyone has any info id appreciate it, thanks.
how many miles?
damn, so everything basically goes bad on it....
8K-10K for E92 335i with 100k miles??? Here in Europe same car costs like 22K lowest price i habe seen is 14K with 220K miles
is a 355i a good first car?
if you know how to work on cars and you have the money for them then yes
Index 12s are 4k not installed
brand new yes, used about $800
“Not a lot of issues” proceeds to name a whole list of preventative maintenance 😂
Nigga was like 1:13 I can’t name anything else off the top of my head like bro you just named the whole damn engine bay 😭😭😭😭😭 I still want one though
Do I trade in my 3.7 Infiniti for a 335i ? I’m at 65k miles and still runs and sounds amazing fbo on my Infiniti can pull so much compared to a 335i .. and reliability and being my daily is a must idk
do it my buddy was in the same situation And loved the 335i
@@christian-md4wu what year would you say I should look for a what are the important maintenance things to look out for that can be super costly ? knowing I will add some bolt ons let me know bro
Try and get a 335is it’s got a better transmission and has a nicer body package. Everything he mentioned goes out tho so try and find a well maintained one or just be ready for sum maintenance. We’ll worth tho definitely
@@christian-md4wu your g is a way better car. I own a fbo tuned 370z and a 335i. Z all day.

This time yes, last time i was broke as a joke!! haha
why are all these car youtubers putting their faces this close to the lens
Very ez engine to work on. Honestly
Was a pain in the ass to put a new valve cover on
