Mr Regular, I own two 335i's with n54s. I'm also an independent mechanic who has worked on 335i's as my bread and butter for the better part of 2 years now! Massive fan of ya'll, glad you got an n54 in your hands. I wanted to say, it's probable in your car's situation that the boost solenoids/wastegates are not closing like they should be. In that segment where he floored it on that ramp, it should have been struggling not to spin the tires from the moment he hit the pedal. Looks like the car builds boost VERY slowly compared to a proper example. This is why I believe you are having to downshift on hills. In either of my 335i sedans, at any speed as long as I am above 1500rpm, I have NEVER had to downshift for a hill. yes, just 1500 rpm. You should be able to build at least 12-16 psi of boost that low. That's how nuts of a change it makes to the driving experience to have these wastegates/boost solenoids working properly. I've been with ya'll since 2015 and you finally got one of my favorite cars.... I'd damn near be willing to take a day or two off work, and come fix that thing for you guys ahahah.
I was thinking the same thing. I never have to downshift mine to get up to speed. I normally do just so i’m not lugging the engine but it absolutely has plenty of power to do so.
@@2010ngojo the stock twins on these cars are very responsive, just their control is done by a weird bastard love child of vaccum and mid 2000s electronics. Once you get them closing, they spool any time you press the throttle, to full boost (15+ psi) at nearly any rpm. And very quickly, within a half second I’d say.
If true I hope this gets boosted to the top. Even though it’s free you don’t want to give someone a car with hiccups especially one like this. Had a coworker with one and they definitely go instantly
gotta say this car looks very modern for a 15 year old car. I guess that says something about how little has happened in car styling in the last 20 years
I don't agree. Car styling has gone a long way with LEDs and sharp but seamless styling queues. It's just that this car has aged so good it looks new. It will always look new to me.
I worked with a kid at a software testing shop that had just landed his first gig there, making all of like 35 to 40 grand a year. He and many other people there used to give me a hard time for willingly driving a 90s Miata. Everyone there had a sickening compulsion to prove out their worth through possessions -- cars, first and foremost. First thing he did with his newfound "fortune" was run out and buy a brand new 335. I remember the little T-Rex arm (his worked) and thinking how absolutely dumb it was, knowing it would inevitably break and be gratuitously expensive to fix (and thus never be fixed). He immediately drove the car like a typical BMW owner. Of course, he could not afford the car. Within a couple months he had to promptly trade it in for an Avalanche. This was over a decade ago. I'm still driving the Miata.
I make a decent living and drive a manual Versa as a daily. Blending in and being frugal is great. It’s essentially a modern d series civic. I have a swapped Rx8 for when I want to be obnoxious. Miata is always the answer.
I'm not a BMW guy by any means but this car looks really good to me. Its lowered just right on black wheels and its a cool shade of blue and the car is clean AF. I'd drive the snot out of that thing for a few weeks until something inevitability breaks.
I, as a German, am always bewildered when cars like the 3 series or the C class are called business people's cars. In Germany you have these if your business doesn't run that good.
Same thing can be said about American muscle cars in Germany, they’re highly sought after because they’re cool and imported but in America damn near anyone with a job and a shitty apartment can own one if they know how to budget or be irresponsible. Correct me if I’m wrong tho
@@bradydevergilio7478 They don't have that much of a luxury image, but basically you're correct. What I often see are trucks like Ram and Ford F in use as work horses, because the German pick ups like VW Amarok and Mercedes X class are overpriced and useless show and shine cars.
I always thought the upper-middle of the European range of 3 Series was the bottom of the US range; favoring naturally aspirated 4 cylinders instead of turboed six, cloth instead of leather, etc. Maybe "Business People's" cars isn't the right term - "Lower-Middle Management". Of course, if BMW can charge more for snob appeal, making a car a Velben good instead of something utilitarian, that's just profit for them. For what it's worth, on a vacation to Munich (saw BMW Welt, because I'm a geek, lol) I rode in a taxi - Mercedes S-Class with standard transmission, vinyl seats, plastic interior. Amazing.
Yeah, but the American models are often higher spec. For example, the C-class is only available as a C 300 in the US. The C 300 starts at €57k (tax incl.) and that is a lot of money for a relatively small sedan. I'd bet most people here in Germany go for the cheaper C 180/ C 200 models.
In Italy these BMW 335i were sold in a very strange period. And was just the beginning of the decline of the automotive scene over here. Around the years 2000 road tax was “affordable”; dentists and other professional not-so car enthusiasts had enough wealth to buy M3s and 335is as imports from Germany just so save few bucks. But here comes 2007. At that time the Italian government needed cash, and immediately. So they called for “austerity” and what they did was add a second road tax (on top of the regular one) were you essentially had to pay 10€ for every KW after 185KW. Some dude in the government simply decided that anything with more then 185KW (250ps) it’s considered a luxury item so needed over-taxation. And boom! All of the sudden these folks that bought these 335i could not afford them anymore overnight. At a personal level, at that time I had two relatives one with an M3 E92 MANUAL and one with the 335i. The weeks following this “double road tax” both of them sold their BMWs for nickels. I believe the manual pristine M3 sold for 35K€ (the same as my new Golf GTI MKV at that time). To me the E92 M3 and 335i marked the end of an era in Italy, where people could actually own nice thing. Now the tax is still in place and you simply can’t have nice cars; even a pedestrian mid size SUV with 275ps it’s regarded as a luxury item. My relatives ended up swapping their hot bimmers with hatchbacks. I think I cried when I knew the M3 was gone. EDITED: just fixed some spelling.
Thank you for sharing, that's really interesting. From 2006-2007 here in the UK, annual tax for newly registered models went up but I would say it's still affordable for the masses. E.g a 2017 Mustang 5.0 is £520 for the year. It pains me hearing a lot of countries in Europe can ask for four to five figures to tax a car, even when it is decades old etc. Absolutely disgusting imo
This brings back so many (terrible) memories about that period. Such a shame that a country known for its motoring heritage has always had a tendency to cripple its citizens from enjoying nice cars. Before the 250 ps rule, let's not forget the decades of "luxury tax" on anything with an engine larger than 2L in displacement (38% VAT instead of the "regular" 18-19%). It eventually led to the national auto industry to "fold inwards" and cater specifically to the domestic market, thus becoming less competitive internationally. It also forced major automakers to quickly put together tiny 2L engines with crazy power figures just to keep up with the specs of the larger power plants. 20 psi of boost on a 1.6 or 2.0 L in the 80s? You can imagine the results. And that's why we can't have nice things
A friend of mine had a 335xi. Same year, same original colours, same trim package. He was on a mad power trip. He bought it on a whim after giving his '09 Impreza to his sister. He didn't even know how to drive manual and bought it manual. Instantly replaced the fuel pump, and had constantly electrical issues. He gloated that it made 400hp & 400 torques (it didn't), and constantly floored it. Purchased the sport exhaust to make more noise and chip tuned it. He got in two car collisions. Both times was parked. Once at a gas station, and once at a stop light at an intersection. It was put on a flatbed tow truck outside of his house about four times because it wouldn't start. He proceeded to sell it to a man in town, and then bought a used 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation for $10,000 too many dollars. The power trip continued. Fast forward to today, he got married, and now owns a 2020 Volkswagen Golf wagon because his friend owns the hatchback version.
No only the ones who got the final round of bangle era stuff lol. I've never driven one of those and don't really want to. BMW only used that style of signal stalk for 6 years or so
As a millennial E92 owner that just got back to FL from NJ on I95 (yesterday!) I feel vindicated with this video. Thank you so much mr. Regular, thank you.
First car I bought myself as an adult was a used 2011 335i in 2013, that started me down a rabbit hole I’m still in today I’ve always maintained that these were the best daily drivers out at the time. It’s a shame they’re going through their cheap used car phase and subsequently being destroyed right now. Such fun, nice, comfortable, cheap (if used and maintained properly) and quick enough to have a moderate amount of fun even as stock
This and the second gen Lexus IS350 were what I cross shopped with. I decided on a 350 because I like the sound of a NA v6 and it’s just about as fast as a 335i stock for stock. Also I don’t have to worry at all about shit breaking on me, I just beat on it and do the same every day
@@sesh3508 I use to be a VQ guy (not like all the other toxic owners) but I always wanted to an is350.. hands down one of the best NA cars for under 10k

Really you're just describing every generation of 3 series. That's really what BMW has always built them to be (except the E36 318, which is a bit of a pig).
Do you have the 3 liter NA engine or the 2.5 liter NA engine? In Germany both where available, depending on the year of manufacturing. The 3.0 325i is the same as the 330i just choked by software. A small software update and you get the whole 270hp!
@@rolux4853 I do have the 3 litre! I do recall reading something about that but didn't look into the details. I've only been driving 6 months and didn't want to go too mad but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want more power.
@@Patriiiiick then I would get the update. It ups the rev limiter a few hundred rpm and activates another „stage“ of the variable intake. That’s at least the case if it’s exactly the same hardware as on the German motor. It makes the engine more versatile in my opinion because you can now shift 1-3-5 or 6 which was a little bit problematic before the update. Also you then have the best non M straight six engine ever developed by BMW! Everything afterwards has turbos, so you own the absolut finest stock production BMW NA engine before they had to cancel that lovely type of engine due to emissions. I have a 125i Cabrio and got the software update for tue engine. BMW never released a 130i cabrio only the 135i Cabrio and i wanted the last and finest NA engine sound in my convertible that’s why I went with the 125i and „tuned it“. I also have some other older and newer BMWs and Mercedes (I try to get them when their at their cheapest in good condition with low mileage, that’s how I achieved my young and Oldtimer collection) and I have the most fun in the 125i! I also have a Mercedes 500 SL (R129) with the absolutely amazing 5 liter M119 V8 in it’s unrestricted early 1990 form, but the 125i still is much more fun to drive and even listen to (mostly it’s the fault that the SL was only available with automatic transmission. A 4 speed without converter lock that always starts in second gear and a heavily muffled engine, even with the first muffler removed and a custom second muffler..)
@@LimitedTimeRoman yo i heard Tommy Fenstemacher once busted just taking a shower. He wasn't even in the shower, just turning on the water made him bust before he could even get in
I was lucky enough to grow up around some really fun cars. We had a 335i in the 4-door, and it was one of my favorites to daily. Quiet and comfortable in traffic, but fast enough in the straights with just the right amount of oversteer. It drove better around a back road than the newer 911 we had at the time. The only thing better about the E92 M3 was revving out a V8 to 8500RPM. The N54 with an intercooler and a tune has at least the same power for half the price. Can’t recommend them enough if you can afford the BMW repair bills
This car was important to my development as a non-douche adult because I realized I had been a very lucky rich kid when my dad surprised me with the first 335i in our city for Christmas 2007 when I was 22. It helped me understand how privileged I was when my friends had 1995 Eclipses, 1997 Neons, etc. My dad is a lifelong BMW head and wanted to share his love of them with me more than anything, but in the end it made me appreciate what he had worked for and never looked down on anyone else for not having something that awesome.
Something tell me, as much as he couldn’t imagine owning a bmw, mr regular has a soft spot for these mid 2000s to 2010 bmw. This is the second E92 he’s reviewed, and the third bmw with this engine
That is the car I learned stick in. It was "Juiceboxed" and what a treat to drive. I also remember seeing the "DTC" button and giggling because it probably stood for 'down to cuddle'.
You really got me by the ball bearings on this one Mr. Regular. I currently daily a E90 in Monaco Blue. That E92 is what I originally wanted. I’ve already placed my order in for the mug, hopefully I can take this bad boy home. 🤞🏼
This was the last car my granddad drove (he’s not dead, just not in a condition to drive any more) and I’ll always remember it because we took a road trip in 2018 for a couple days to visit an auto museum and his brother. It wasn’t one of these exact models, it might’ve been closer to a base model performance-wise (or maybe even a diesel, I can’t remember) but it was an ‘07 3 Series regardless. Had a convertible top too but because this is Britain, it didn’t get much use.

I love my daily driver:. 2007 335i e90 with sport package and sky blue plasti dip (blue quartz), black interior with aluminum trim...so nice. I run it stock although I've had downpipes and inlets plus MHD in a box for a couple of years, lol.
thumbs up for 2 things. the absolutely amazing commentary, especially the intro before the engine closeup, and the ADORABLE mantid skittering across the boot lid.
It’s always funny to me to see a 335i without sport seats. Like, “you bought the sportiest version, why didn’t you get sport seats?!” 😂 Also… I spy a Cadillac Cimarron - does that mean what I think and hope it means?!
“I get it as I drive this car around”. You and me both, Mr Regular. I had a blast driving the E92 335is when I was on vacation in 2017 but it also made it clear why BMW drivers are... well... BMW drivers. First of all, the turn signals are so frustrating to use for lane changes that I completely get why BMW drivers don’t signal. Second... a powerful E92 makes you feel like “huh, I actually AM better than everyone else on the road”. It feels somehow like it’s just, more car than a car typically is. It’s hard to describe. You just pull maneuvers that would feel sketchy in most cars and in the E92 it feels as effortless and relaxing as a spa day.
As someone who also has a daily with a blow off valve, i can sympathize with 10:36. All the time, every time. Bad days are made good, and good days are made gooder. I've had it on there for about two years, and I still love it.
Every 3rd video is now a “giveaway” and I think it is really starting to impact the quality of the channel. This is the 2nd video I’ve seen in my queue and immediately thought “great another giveaway”. This is an easy way to cash in your hands and puts vehicles in the hands of people getting in over their heads. It’s one thing to mod a car and generally have a handle on what’s been done, even if you’ve paid a shop to do it. I suspect the people who could easily handle taking over a car like this are not buying mugs for the opportunity to win one. What if they sell their reliable daily beater because Mr Regular gave them an epic new BMW? How long until something *very* expensive breaks? I also choose to disbelieve that well modded, nicely taken care of, safe vehicles are being “given away” there is a reason these cars are now subject to a raffle, the previous owners must be thrilled to be rid of them.
I’ve had a love affair with E9X’s since I first owned one in ‘13. Since then, I’ve owned 8 E9X’s. 335i, 335xi, and the lesser known but no less magical 335D. These are my favorite cars of all time. I like them more than my current C7 Z06, more than my GT-R, more than anything I’ve ever driven. The steering, the engine, the everything. They’re driving bliss. To me, they’re heaven on wheels.

2 Months ago I bought a post-LCI e92 (2011 335is - still has the N54, but up-tuned) and I'm in love it it. If you happen to be around Florida you should come take it for a drive to compare.
Yes BMW has Yas Marina blue and Santorini . not offered on E92’s though unless it was thru the individual program. Although I’m not aware of any existing work that shade.
If you don't know how to work on it, it will turn into a money pit before you even open the door. N54 is a whole different ball game. N54 owners think replacing mosfets in their dme is a regular, normal diy. 96% of people who own a car will never have to touch their engine computer, because they're usually built correctly.

Those piezo injectors, thats short for piezoelectric. Piezoelectric materials expand slightly when electricity is applied. They're used instead of electromagmets to open the fuel injector nozzle. They open and close faster than conventional injectors, and they're responsive enough that the onboard computer can make changes to how long the injectors open for or even how many times per combustion cycle on the fly. Almost all modern diesels use piezoelectric injectors. they're expensive though. Piezoelectrics are also used in high precision measurement devices, since the process is reversible, applying pressure also results in an electrical current that can then be measured and used to determine how much pressure the device experienced.
If you don't know the tune, try pressing the down button and volume down on steering wheel at same time, if gauges move, look up jb4 and read the manual for how to use it
If Australia is on your bucket list I would hold off for a few months. We are in the middle of an El Nino event at the moment so it's very cold and very wet (at least on the East coast).
I had a 2012 BMW 335is, the top of the range e92 (aside from the M3). It was the last of the N54 equipped models with a little extra factory HP. Mine was loaded with dual clutch transmission, nav, and more. A great car and my T-Rex arm worked fine most of the time. I even did a 4500 mile trip to Colorado in it. A guess is yours has a tune, possibly a waste gate issue.
Mr. Regular pulls on my Gen-X nostalgia today with girls named Tonya and interiors without video games mounted on the dash. Fire up the Wayback machine, Sherman.
I'm glad you were able to do another 335i review, finally showcasing some of the tuning potential they have, maybe next you can review one with a single turbo 😶
Something is wrong with this car. If that was flooring it on the on-ramp then it’s definitely missing a lot of power. You should be blowing the tires off at that point.
I find this ends up pissing off any drivers behind you, and there's nothing you can do about it except wait til it stops flashing (or end up signaling the wrong way when trying to cancel the cancelled turn, and then people end if thinking you're a noob who can't drive lol)
I owned a 06 bmw 3 series and when it crashed I got a 3.5 Altima 08 and drove it the same way so it could be that the altima drivers are really just bmw drivers in disguise

I was that guy, but with a 330i instead of a 335i. However I still have it to this day about 5 years later.
I'm not a BMW guy by any means but this car looks really good to me. Its lowered just right on black wheels and its a cool shade of blue and the car is clean AF. I'd drive the snot out of that thing for a few weeks until something inevitability breaks.
IMO this generation of the 3 series (E90) is one of my favorite modern BMW designs. It looks playful yet handsome (if that makes any sense).

I, as a German, am always bewildered when cars like the 3 series or the C class are called business people's cars. In Germany you have these if your business doesn't run that good.
They get driven by mechanics mostly.
Same thing can be said about American muscle cars in Germany, they’re highly sought after because they’re cool and imported but in America damn near anyone with a job and a shitty apartment can own one if they know how to budget or be irresponsible. Correct me if I’m wrong tho
@@bradydevergilio7478 They don't have that much of a luxury image, but basically you're correct. What I often see are trucks like Ram and Ford F in use as work horses, because the German pick ups like VW Amarok and Mercedes X class are overpriced and useless show and shine cars.
I always thought the upper-middle of the European range of 3 Series was the bottom of the US range; favoring naturally aspirated 4 cylinders instead of turboed six, cloth instead of leather, etc.
Maybe "Business People's" cars isn't the right term - "Lower-Middle Management". Of course, if BMW can charge more for snob appeal, making a car a Velben good instead of something utilitarian, that's just profit for them.
For what it's worth, on a vacation to Munich (saw BMW Welt, because I'm a geek, lol) I rode in a taxi - Mercedes S-Class with standard transmission, vinyl seats, plastic interior. Amazing.
Yeah, but the American models are often higher spec. For example, the C-class is only available as a C 300 in the US. The C 300 starts at €57k (tax incl.) and that is a lot of money for a relatively small sedan. I'd bet most people here in Germany go for the cheaper C 180/ C 200 models.
After all the nut references I don't think I would want to drive that before it gets detailed
In Italy these BMW 335i were sold in a very strange period. And was just the beginning of the decline of the automotive scene over here.
Around the years 2000 road tax was “affordable”; dentists and other professional not-so car enthusiasts had enough wealth to buy M3s and 335is as imports from Germany just so save few bucks.
But here comes 2007. At that time the Italian government needed cash, and immediately. So they called for “austerity” and what they did was add a second road tax (on top of the regular one) were you essentially had to pay 10€ for every KW after 185KW.
Some dude in the government simply decided that anything with more then 185KW (250ps) it’s considered a luxury item so needed over-taxation.
And boom! All of the sudden these folks that bought these 335i could not afford them anymore overnight.
At a personal level, at that time I had two relatives one with an M3 E92 MANUAL and one with the 335i.
The weeks following this “double road tax” both of them sold their BMWs for nickels. I believe the manual pristine M3 sold for 35K€ (the same as my new Golf GTI MKV at that time).
To me the E92 M3 and 335i marked the end of an era in Italy, where people could actually own nice thing.
Now the tax is still in place and you simply can’t have nice cars; even a pedestrian mid size SUV with 275ps it’s regarded as a luxury item.
My relatives ended up swapping their hot bimmers with hatchbacks. I think I cried when I knew the M3 was gone.
EDITED: just fixed some spelling.
Thank you for sharing, that's really interesting. From 2006-2007 here in the UK, annual tax for newly registered models went up but I would say it's still affordable for the masses. E.g a 2017 Mustang 5.0 is £520 for the year. It pains me hearing a lot of countries in Europe can ask for four to five figures to tax a car, even when it is decades old etc. Absolutely disgusting imo
@@feedingfrenzy123 Environment and such.
Yeah, the superbollo sucks. It's basically the modern version of the 2-liter tax that was around from the late 70's to the early 90's.
This brings back so many (terrible) memories about that period. Such a shame that a country known for its motoring heritage has always had a tendency to cripple its citizens from enjoying nice cars. Before the 250 ps rule, let's not forget the decades of "luxury tax" on anything with an engine larger than 2L in displacement (38% VAT instead of the "regular" 18-19%).
It eventually led to the national auto industry to "fold inwards" and cater specifically to the domestic market, thus becoming less competitive internationally. It also forced major automakers to quickly put together tiny 2L engines with crazy power figures just to keep up with the specs of the larger power plants. 20 psi of boost on a 1.6 or 2.0 L in the 80s? You can imagine the results.
And that's why we can't have nice things
Leave it to the government to ruin things because they can't manage the money they already took.
That seat belt claw thing has to be the single most ridiculous feature I've ever seen on a car.
A friend of mine had a 335xi. Same year, same original colours, same trim package.
He was on a mad power trip. He bought it on a whim after giving his '09 Impreza to his sister. He didn't even know how to drive manual and bought it manual. Instantly replaced the fuel pump, and had constantly electrical issues. He gloated that it made 400hp & 400 torques (it didn't), and constantly floored it. Purchased the sport exhaust to make more noise and chip tuned it.
He got in two car collisions. Both times was parked. Once at a gas station, and once at a stop light at an intersection. It was put on a flatbed tow truck outside of his house about four times because it wouldn't start.
He proceeded to sell it to a man in town, and then bought a used 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation for $10,000 too many dollars. The power trip continued. Fast forward to today, he got married, and now owns a 2020 Volkswagen Golf wagon because his friend owns the hatchback version.
I enjoyed your little battle with the turn signal at the beginning.. lol.. all bmw drivers have been there.
No only the ones who got the final round of bangle era stuff lol. I've never driven one of those and don't really want to. BMW only used that style of signal stalk for 6 years or so
Them turn signal sold Porsche a car. Not interested in any of that nonsense. Cant figure out how to make a turn signal, not interested in your car.
As a millennial E92 owner that just got back to FL from NJ on I95 (yesterday!) I feel vindicated with this video. Thank you so much mr. Regular, thank you.
First car I bought myself as an adult was a used 2011 335i in 2013, that started me down a rabbit hole I’m still in today
I’ve always maintained that these were the best daily drivers out at the time. It’s a shame they’re going through their cheap used car phase and subsequently being destroyed right now. Such fun, nice, comfortable, cheap (if used and maintained properly) and quick enough to have a moderate amount of fun even as stock
Absolutely. The E9X was a driving masterpiece.
This and the second gen Lexus IS350 were what I cross shopped with. I decided on a 350 because I like the sound of a NA v6 and it’s just about as fast as a 335i stock for stock. Also I don’t have to worry at all about shit breaking on me, I just beat on it and do the same every day
@@sesh3508 I use to be a VQ guy (not like all the other toxic owners) but I always wanted to an is350.. hands down one of the best NA cars for under 10k

I do think the exterior looks better on the IS than the G sedans. That being said a 335i blows both away especially if they're equipped well.
Really you're just describing every generation of 3 series. That's really what BMW has always built them to be (except the E36 318, which is a bit of a pig).
I'm getting a strong Phil Ken Sebben vibe from the bi joke at the beginning and I absolutely appreciate it Mr. Regular

@@Syncopia agreed!
I've got a UK 325i from this era and I love it(first car at the age of 37 after years on motorcycles). Completely stock but it's great fun.
Na power, thats brilliant
Do you have the 3 liter NA engine or the 2.5 liter NA engine?
In Germany both where available, depending on the year of manufacturing.
The 3.0 325i is the same as the 330i just choked by software.
A small software update and you get the whole 270hp!
@@rolux4853 I do have the 3 litre! I do recall reading something about that but didn't look into the details. I've only been driving 6 months and didn't want to go too mad but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want more power.
You get a hell of a lot more reliability for that power sacrifice those 3.0 na are very decent overall
@@Patriiiiick then I would get the update.
It ups the rev limiter a few hundred rpm and activates another „stage“ of the variable intake.
That’s at least the case if it’s exactly the same hardware as on the German motor.
It makes the engine more versatile in my opinion because you can now shift 1-3-5 or 6 which was a little bit problematic before the update.
Also you then have the best non M straight six engine ever developed by BMW!
Everything afterwards has turbos, so you own the absolut finest stock production BMW NA engine before they had to cancel that lovely type of engine due to emissions.
I have a 125i Cabrio and got the software update for tue engine.
BMW never released a 130i cabrio only the 135i Cabrio and i wanted the last and finest NA engine sound in my convertible that’s why I went with the 125i and „tuned it“.
I also have some other older and newer BMWs and Mercedes (I try to get them when their at their cheapest in good condition with low mileage, that’s how I achieved my young and Oldtimer collection) and I have the most fun in the 125i!
I also have a Mercedes 500 SL (R129) with the absolutely amazing 5 liter M119 V8 in it’s unrestricted early 1990 form, but the 125i still is much more fun to drive and even listen to (mostly it’s the fault that the SL was only available with automatic transmission. A 4 speed without converter lock that always starts in second gear and a heavily muffled engine, even with the first muffler removed and a custom second muffler..)

I was lucky enough to grow up around some really fun cars. We had a 335i in the 4-door, and it was one of my favorites to daily. Quiet and comfortable in traffic, but fast enough in the straights with just the right amount of oversteer. It drove better around a back road than the newer 911 we had at the time. The only thing better about the E92 M3 was revving out a V8 to 8500RPM. The N54 with an intercooler and a tune has at least the same power for half the price. Can’t recommend them enough if you can afford the BMW repair bills
This car was important to my development as a non-douche adult because I realized I had been a very lucky rich kid when my dad surprised me with the first 335i in our city for Christmas 2007 when I was 22. It helped me understand how privileged I was when my friends had 1995 Eclipses, 1997 Neons, etc. My dad is a lifelong BMW head and wanted to share his love of them with me more than anything, but in the end it made me appreciate what he had worked for and never looked down on anyone else for not having something that awesome.

This was the last car my granddad drove (he’s not dead, just not in a condition to drive any more) and I’ll always remember it because we took a road trip in 2018 for a couple days to visit an auto museum and his brother. It wasn’t one of these exact models, it might’ve been closer to a base model performance-wise (or maybe even a diesel, I can’t remember) but it was an ‘07 3 Series regardless.

“I get it as I drive this car around”. You and me both, Mr Regular. I had a blast driving the E92 335is when I was on vacation in 2017 but it also made it clear why BMW drivers are... well... BMW drivers. First of all, the turn signals are so frustrating to use for lane changes that I completely get why BMW drivers don’t signal. Second... a powerful E92 makes you feel like “huh, I actually AM better than everyone else on the road”. It feels somehow like it’s just, more car than a car typically is. It’s hard to describe. You just pull maneuvers that would feel sketchy in most cars and in the E92 it feels as effortless and relaxing as a spa day.
Correction. You ARE better then everyone else driving one around

Every 3rd video is now a “giveaway” and I think it is really starting to impact the quality of the channel. This is the 2nd video I’ve seen in my queue and immediately thought “great another giveaway”. This is an easy way to cash in your hands and puts vehicles in the hands of people getting in over their heads. It’s one thing to mod a car and generally have a handle on what’s been done, even if you’ve paid a shop to do it. I suspect the people who could easily handle taking over a car like this are not buying mugs for the opportunity to win one. What if they sell their reliable daily beater because Mr Regular gave them an epic new BMW? How long until something *very* expensive breaks? I also choose to disbelieve that well modded, nicely taken care of, safe vehicles are being “given away” there is a reason these cars are now subject to a raffle, the previous owners must be thrilled to be rid of them.

What exactly is the reason for all of these giveaways? Also, why is it always heavily modified cars rather than something stock or close to stock.
Those piezo injectors, thats short for piezoelectric. Piezoelectric materials expand slightly when electricity is applied. They're used instead of electromagmets to open the fuel injector nozzle. They open and close faster than conventional injectors, and they're responsive enough that the onboard computer can make changes to how long the injectors open for or even how many times per combustion cycle on the fly. Almost all modern diesels use piezoelectric injectors. they're expensive though. Piezoelectrics are also used in high precision measurement devices, since the process is reversible, applying pressure also results in an electrical current that can then be measured and used to determine how much pressure the device experienced.
I appreciate that you focused on that preying mantis on the trunk lid as a visual comment on your subject, without saying a word about it.

I had a 2012 BMW 335is, the top of the range e92 (aside from the M3). It was the last of the N54 equipped models with a little extra factory HP. Mine was loaded with dual clutch transmission, nav, and more. A great car and my T-Rex arm worked fine most of the time. I even did a 4500 mile trip to Colorado in it. A guess is yours has a tune, possibly a waste gate issue.

I owned a 06 bmw 3 series and when it crashed I got a 3.5 Altima 08 and drove it the same way so it could be that the altima drivers are really just bmw drivers in disguise
Soooooooo Fannnnncy.
OGs remember
I just bought one of these and then this video comes up. Amazing.
Never been into BMW's but after a relative of mine got a 1M Coupe I became interested then fell in love with the E92 M3. This car just looks so good and I realized why I was familiar with this car. "Oh it's one of the cars one of the bosses used in NFS Prostreet" 😂
Did I just see a bmw turning on its turn signal?
