Very few things in life bring as much satisfaction to a car enthusiast as building their own car to to their liking. Of course the amount of money it will cost to customize a car is a massive factor and a lot of the times dictates what direction to take. After building my 2008 E93 BMW 335i for a little over a year, I decided to share with you all how much it would cost to get the final results I was able to achieve. And hopefully you'll get a better understanding on how much of a budget you will need to build your personal car. The total cost of my build does not reflect how much I paid as I've received free and discounted car parts but more so the true cost that viewers can relate to.

@RantzCore 4 года назад

It still sounds pretty budget compared to the 20k - 30k builds that people spend over time. The preventative maintenance costs are the one that you shouldn't ignore. Cristian, you laid out a lot of information on what to look out for before you upgrade. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Best wishes as always brother!

It’s a beautiful build man, perfect. I agree about the trunk lid , I really never liked spoilers most look trash but I love those minimal ones... I don’t think that’s that much $ for all you got, especially if someone is slowly doing it over a couple years. Definitely worth it, the car must drive amazing.

@VehicleVirals 4 года назад

It's pleasure to drive every time.

@VehicleVirals 4 года назад

Of course labor cost is a big factor when it comes to building a car unless your wrench (Which still costs you your time). I’ve been fortunate enough to not have to pay labor thanks to partnerships with shops like Precision Sport Industries which is why I didn’t mention such costs in the video.

@RantzCore 4 года назад

The videos shared with your partner shops and sponsors give information about what to wrench on and how to deal with it. But it can help with troubleshooting issues as well! I of course look forward to current and future builds. Thanks Cristian for sharing your experiences with research on vehicles!

@nathanw7114 4 года назад

Honestly 15K is pretty modest for a car of this calibre, you did a great job!

@Crashersss 4 года назад

thats not bad for a 335 tbh your probably gonna make 600+ whp so i say it pretty good

@empac9032 4 года назад

15k is pretty average for a car build especially if there’s engine work involved. When you consider that labor was not included, you can add another 5-10k conservatively. Is that a lot? Not if you have it. Thank goodness for those sponsors. It’s a give and take though. I’m sure they’ve gotten more business from your viewers. I got an Aza steering wheel myself after watching your video 👍🏽. Keep up the good work ✌🏽

@VehicleVirals 4 года назад

Definitely a Win Win Win with sponsors (reputable ones at least). Companies win with marketing, the content creator wins with parts and the viewers win by getting to see content on the parts or service. I'm sure you're loving that steering wheel!

@WelcomeToTheMadness 4 года назад

BMW and the word budget, don't ever go together.

@zayasra 4 года назад

When I and my 2 sons saw your car at bmw invasion. Bro Your car is nice I thought you would have spent well over 15K that's not bad at all. You are blessed to have PSI to help you, that company is amazing. Keep up the video's bro

@VehicleVirals 4 года назад

❤️

@B0xlife1 4 года назад

Awesome video and break down of everything. I think $2700 for a complete wrap is a bargain. If you were to get the car painted it would cost way more and if it doesn't then I bet it's someone spraying in there warehouse or garage WITHOUT a paint booth, dust and shit everywhere. I'll pass but I'll jump on a wrap, you can change it any time you want, any color you want. It's a "poor man's" paint job lol. But seriously it also protects the original paint, as well. It's a no Brainer. Also $700 for a complete set of those tits, brand new, they look great too but the price /reviews make them a great pick. Most ultra summer tires are easily $200+ EACH.

@ninjastriker0137 4 года назад

whos here before 1000 views

@galic711 4 года назад

Pretty expected for that price. Plus you learn along the way, and make some good networks for future builds so you can budget easier in the future. Labour is the real kicker but sometimes you might need to fork out $12k all up for the parts rather than making multiple trips and could save you a few days worth of labour. Also if your building the car over a long period of time it may not feel like your spent that much on it until you add up the total yearly cost haha

@davescott5506 4 года назад

I bought my 335i e93 after being inspired by you It’s booked in this week for tuning and exhaust intake etc then next week for body kit suspension wheels etc Can’t wait

@VehicleVirals 4 года назад

@n2hasan 4 года назад

That total investment is not too much for a high hp bmw. Less modified or stock 335i cost near what you paid in mods. I mean you have a beautiful ~600whp, sorted out 335i. It’s a great car that you should be proud of!

@yatusabesUW 4 года назад

I’ve had my 335i coupe since 2012 and have been adding mods slowly over the years thanks to video recommendations like yours. I have been keeping an excel file tracking the costs and I am around $14k. Keep up the good content!

@Bowtie12oclock 4 года назад

Budget can be spending according to what you can afford or willing to spend. And just because the total for this build is $15k doesn’t mean it was in one shot, everything adds up so just be patient with a build and the money will be spent well when you plan ahead.

@AsmirSut 4 года назад

Considering how your car looks and goes now i think 15k is reasonable. I can imagine its at least 5k more to that on maintenance. Good job, i am really happy for you.

Great video. You can always tell a car enthusiast by the knowledge of the details about their car. Most people won’t know the tire size off the top of their head.

@Cam-fq4rh 2 года назад

I spent about 19k CAD on mine, so kinda similar to this in USD. Thing is that I did the build slowly throughout 4 years basically. So really it came down to a little under 5k per year. Not too bad.

@DoTheScap 4 года назад

Hey Christian, love the mods you've done to the car. Really makes me want to do similar to my 09 535i.

@nuhnuh61 4 года назад

“Hot air intakes” nope, it doesn’t matter since you have an intercooler. The intakes are what feed air into the turbos, then the turbos compress the air which makes the air hot, the hot air then flows to the intercooler which will cool the air down before it enters the throttle body. I believe Vehicular DIY made a video about this.

@MattyJamesNorth Год назад

Dope af lol I went outsider rhode island to Massachusetts to get my E93 335i for 15k with 74k miles a month ago cus the silver just reminded me of the one in NFS most wanted. Call me a nerd for the reasoning. Silver just looks fucking fire. Been trying to find where I can get parts but no one seems to source E93 just The other models. Tried to ask if a charge pipe would fit from a popular website and they said they're not sure if it fits E93. Glad I found your channel I'll see what I can find for upgrading/maintenance it! Definitely my video right here. Subscribed!

Love your vids! I’m going fbo and wondering if I should go with ARM or VRSF. ARM is cheaper, but is it worse in quality? Love to her peoples thoughts on that... thanks

Can't speak for ARM. But as a person that has been using VRSF parts for over a year, it's hard to beat what they offer for the price.

@gazamarine2651 3 года назад

I have mostly VRSF on my 335i.Only ARM product I have on my car is the 7in intercooler. Both great companies in my opinion.

It's a beautiful build, truth be told, but again, it's a costly build, you've got to really like the car to spend that much money on it. The one thing that really stands out is that steering wheel and those carbon replacements. The car looks awesome, overall

@VehicleVirals 4 года назад

One way to make the build much more affordable is to eliminate the vinyl wrap and upgraded turbos. That's a $8000 cut and you still get a badass car.

@ALKOHOLIC45 4 года назад

15K isn't bad to have pretty much fully customized your car to your liking. And being able to push 700hp makes it a full blown track car too. But still calm enough to daily drive it. In a year I have about $1500 into the car. Biggest cosmetic item for myself was a set of OEM 359M wheels I grabbed from a friend for $800. And they already came wrapped in Federal tires.

@phild5813 4 года назад

Dude, you spent 15k to completely change and upgrade the whole look of your car PLUS add hundreds of horsepower. I'd say that's a bargain! At this point I'd personally add like a 300$ eonon screen with a cheap rear view camera just to modernize the interior. It fits right into the dash and looks oem since it's made for your model.
