+Kyle Rollins I do wish they had better cup holders in a differtent locations but I'm not worried about it too much. Fun car to drive and get those heads turning with the sounds of the exhaust.
@@1970borntorun Yeah the E90-E92 BMW 3 Series was probably the best one ever made if I had to say. It was also probably the best looking, although the E36 and the E46 are really good looking too.
Nice review but that is not e90 it's e92 E90 is Sedan E91 is Wagon E92 is Coupe E93 Convertible btw thank you so much for videos and test drive's i love your videos! KEEP IT UP
@@chief0120 n54 the 335is only came with an n54 because they could get more ponies out of it and it was geared more towards people who wanted to build them vs the standard 335i. just totalled my 335xi and im looking into one of these bad boys cuz the power is unbeatable in the price range
You've got us confused with another reviewer, we never criticize a vehicle for not having a leather stitched dash... unless maybe the price is over $100 grand.
The BMW feels more focused, better balanced. The Audi feels more nosy heavy from the more front-biased weight distribution. The BMW has that perfect front engine RWD configuration for that near perfect 50/50. At the same time, the Audi feels more secure in corners, that AWD sticks to the road but the BMW is more tail happy and fun. What do you want more? Civilized driving dynamics wrapped in luxury and AWD grip or RWD dynamics with perfect steering and that straight-6 noise. The choose is yours.
this was another great review- I don't think I've found a review on the 335is that properly captures the GORGEOUS noise this car makes. Yours was the first!
+Brent Arnold God I envy you, enjoy the ride man. I have 328i msport e92 and its quite a blast but that extra 120 hp will prob make the car feel insane.
It's an 335is and it's in great shape. The person really took good care of it! I've done the basics. Oils change and sparkplug/ o-ring change. I learned how to do it my self here on you tube so that saves me in labor, but I did have to buy the tools so I probably spent the same amount of money. I have a full bolt on and a Cobb stage 2+ aggressive map and the thing is awesome. I haven't put it on a dyno, but I bet it's close to 400whp and 450 torque. Bottom line if you hot rod it everywhere of coarse parts will go out quicker, but if you just have fun every once in a while I doubt it's worse than any other car. You will pay almost double labor charge for mechs to do labor, but basic things like oil change, spark plugs, O-rings, are all super easy (if you have good weather).
+TheLanard FYI, it did not open by itself, there is a little lever you pull on slightly and it does what is known as "soft opening" where it slowly opens the rest of the way, the same thing happens for the trunk. You don't have to slam the trunk in order for it to close, you close it softly and it grabs and pulls the trunk the rest of the way softly thus ensuring that it is locked.
It's all about fully opening up the N54's aspiration & cranking up those turbos. Pump $7000+ into a 335i and M3s will eat your dust. This guy - "Whoooaaa oh ya, you can feel that power..." on a stock 335is? Man you gotta feel one of these cars fully pimped out. I was a non believer in the 335i(s) until this last summer.
Ross MK I never been in the Infiniti Coupes before but from all the videos I've seen of the Infiniti coupes and the new Mustang this car has the most legroom. Sucks because I want a Infiniti Coupe but I need ample legroom in the back.
Ness Rosenbrad I wonder how the new q60 coupe is in legroom. The Mustang looks much bigger and some how has less space than the BMW it's actually shocking how is that even possible.
Ross MK Yeah the Mustang is 188 inches in length while this is 183. Longer car indeed but not any good legroom and that right there is the deal breaker for me but I will inspect the car and test out the back seats myself when I go to the Ford dealership.
dejangcool Yeah, with a tune. We're talking stock. A Honda Civic that's boosted running on meth injection and a motor swap would destroy a Lamborghini. duuuhhhhrrr
This 335 IS is better than m3,because I don't love V8 engine in M3,i love straight six and turbochagert car.With 7 DCT is amazing car.This is my opinion. :D
I had the 335is convertible with the six speed manual, it is a very fast car and shifting it yourself definitely feels much better than the DCT. Unfortunately, the only downside for the 335is is the suspension is too stiff and it's not adjustable, I driven the E92 M3 as well the ride is much more forgiving. Too bad I'm returning my 335is next month coz lease is up, but i'm looking forward to the new M3 which hopefully be debuting with the tri-turbo straight six.
@@romanpalumbo5976the manual is the same as the M3 aswell just like the dct. There’s a plethora of differences, literally a complete different car compared to a normal 335i if you drive the two. Plus a 335is is gonna hold value and possibly appreciate in the future
You need to go on Burger Motorsports website and buy about $5000 worth of parts (stage 3), and get the good dual exhaust w/ downpipes from somehwere, and this car will pull so hard you won't even be able to shift the gears properly.
oh man! this car is absolutely stunning and i love the exhaust note even from the interior... gives me butterflies in my stomach. just like your first crush
Sofyan! Thanks for another great review bro, enjoyed it all. Btw, I was thinking of getting a newer BMW and selling my E46 330 which I LOVE! After watching this, I'll be looking into a 335i for sure, so thanks for helping me choose man.
and all these years later this model still holding some value but the n54 engine while the power potential is great has proven to be not the most reliable.
Besides HPFP, water pump, MAP sensors and many other little things, they are fairly reliable. Let's not kid ourselves shall we. The car is great BUT it is far from reliable.
Bruno Danese HPFP is fully covered by the dealer (recall). Water pump is definitely an issue but that is the case with almost every BMW from 2006-2009.
I have a 2012 335is and I love this car, traded an 08 335i sedan in on it. Twin Turbos are fun, the 335is is just a blast to "Point and Shoot" in and around traffic.
No, the 335is, 135is and Z35is all kept the Twin Turbo N54 like the 1M and earlier 335's. The Twin Scroll came out with the N55 engines which came with the later 2010+ 335's excluding the 335is'.
The good days before the 4 series happened and no more 3 series coupes. I wish the f30 and g20 offered a coupe version or “2 door sedan”, same shape, just slightly shortened with two doors. No super slope-y roof line and duck bill trunk lid. The 4 has gran coupe which is a four door coupe, so why not make a 2 door sedan. Look at an e46 2-door, that lineage died when the 4 series came. Look at a e46 coupe than an f30 and imagine that f30 proportioned like that e46 coupe, would be amazing.
Not really, can't really compare RWD with an AWD car. It just doesn't compare when weather gets nasty and road gets icy. 335is has its own niche, and it's gonna appeal more to the true driving enthusiast that like the organic feeling or being connected to the tarmac that originally made us love driving. Those who buy an S5 is looking for a safe, 4wd sports car that is virtually unstoppable in any weather. One thing that's for sure, S5 just isn't as connected compared even to 320i.
I chose my 2012 335is convertible with the DCTover the M3 for the $8K savings - maybe a mistake. It is a step above the 335i, but the suspension doesn't match the powertrain performance at the limit. Also, while the DCT is wicked fast and smooth, off the line it can be pokey - there have been a few times that I almost killed myself making a left turn in an intersection where the car had to think for a second or two. Resale on the 335is won't be as good as the M3 so this is a great used car buy.
NovaCreep are you crazy? they go for less than 32 with like no miles on them. www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?shopperListingsSearch=31072369#listing=157035285
Yea but a base m3 is fugly, you get nickel and dimed for every little "insignificant" thing that ends up being significant once you own the thing. You can find a used 2013 IS for around 32-36k with xenons, i drive etc. You get a base m3 with tons of miles for the same price.
Mine brand new cost $71,902 after taxes $75,497.10 with every package. Cold Weather package, Premium package, Premium Sound package, Convenience package, the M Sports package. and every additional option (Entertainment, Convenience, premium, and safety options). It was also a show room model which sucks before then they cut 6 months off the extended warranty due to it being driven less by various customers.
I wanted an 335is but I could not the spec I wanted. I went with a 2013 E93 Space Grey M Sport 335i with red interior and the same trim as this car with 25k miles for 27990 from Carmax. I would say if you're in the market for a 335 or 335is go for the spec. Everything thing else is easier to change exhaust note, hp, body panels. But you can't change it being a convertible so on so forth
This seems like it has the most back seat legroom in any coupe. Im 6 3 and sat in the back comfortably. Im deciding a g35 coupe or a new Mustang and I hope they have as much space in the back as this car right here at least.
smoothness and power are not directly correlated an engine can be smooth and powerful...maybe more vibrations or noise from the engine not more raw power...
