Brother, you are such a humble and grounded character. I love your 328i, I have an N52 powered 1 series and I know it's not the fastest thing out there, but it fills me with joy whenever I drive it and that's what matters the most. Peace and drive safe out there ✌️

@nelsonx4235 Год назад

Bro, you should have mentioned that the N52 is by far the greatest inline 6 cyl made by BMW. This is what BMW was all about; inline 6 NA engines. These were meant to last for many years. I do not like you calling them slow; they aren't necessarily slow; mine is 328i MT coupe, supercharged, headers, 3 stage manifold, tuned, and gutted out. It's hell fast. For those of you who think this is not worth spending the money on these upgrades, I disagree, I have all the reliability I need with power...I do not need to worry about turbos, high pressure pumps, etc.

@theophilusone7 Год назад

I love my n52. Not fast, not even a little. Upgrading a open deck engine is Dumpster diving. Go get a tu and stomp out skylines. You need a new BMW my guy!

@InlineSixAuto Год назад

I would agree with you that the N52 could be BMWs best engine for reliability. But there is no denying that it is slow compared to most other cars on the road now. I'm talking about stock power specifically though. Most people with a 328i don't have the money to drop on all those mods. From my experience, most people just want to get the most amount of power for the least amount of money so it would be more practical to just start with a 335i and be at the same power output as yours for half the cost and less work with simple bolt ons. Though every one does that so its pretty cool actually that you did all that to yours. Your 328i is probably fast but without some form of forced induction, in general the N52 is not powerful. Sounds like you've built an awesome car though power-wise so props to you.

@ryanho3683 Год назад

Love the video man! I also have a 328i 2009 lci and modded it as well. As you stated before not much was needed to be done. I so far only had to do the valve cover and the oil pan gasket. Those were the 2 bigs things that I expected going into this purchase. Luckily the valve cover was covered under the n51 sulev warranty. I just hit 130k. The one preventative thing I need to do that should get my car to at least 150k without any issues is the water pump. Im the second owner but im not sure if the water pump was ever replaced. Did not see it on the carfax when I purchased car.

@InlineSixAuto Год назад

Thanks! That Sulev warranty would be so nice to have lol. I actually need to do my oil pan gasket right now but since mine is AWD it makes that job so more work than RWD. I would assume your waterpump hasn't been replaced if it wasn't on the carfax. Would that be covered under the warranty?

@ryanho3683 Год назад

@@InlineSixAuto Yup mine is also xdrive so oil pan was deff expensive but had to be done, it was leaking pretty bad. I did it 1.5 years ago at an indy for $1300 including oil change and alignment too. The water pump unfortunately is not covered by sulev because its not emissions related lol. i wish.

@GabrielGarcia25FC Год назад

Bought mine a few months ago, head cover gasket, thermostat, spark plugs, and heater core all replaced and it runs smoother then ever no issues.

Love your videos man . I agree with the part of 325/328 being a perfect entry to bmw world . My first bmw is a 2007 325xi as well . I have a question though. Have you ever had an issue with the xdrive of the car ? Like the module or the transfer case in general. Its the biggest problem i am facing with my car since the day i bought it about 1.5 years ago . First the scanner said it had problem with the module . After an year of finding the module, i finally found a used one and fitted it but now the scanner says mechanical problem with transfer case. Its always had the trifecta light ( 4x4 , DTC , ABS etc )

@tyoken Год назад

Have an 06 325i 160k, previous owner was a lady and didn’t do the proper maintenance so I had a check list to do before we got it running and healthy. She needed a fuel pump to get it running,after replacing most gaskets, cleaning throttle body, maf, and the whole engine bay she is running pretty good. Haven’t touched coils only did plugs and I’ve been running the 330i tune with 3im for a few months no big problems besides an oil leak from a loose bolt on the valvetronic and a vacuum leak from me breaking the pcv eggshell hoses. Overall great daily,people over exaggerate problems/ owners fault most of the time.

@InlineSixAuto Год назад

Sounds like yours wasn’t horrible, as all that is exactly what you should expect to replace with a high mileage E90 I’d say lol. Did you replace those parts yourself or did you have a shop do it?

Great mate. Highly impressed and inspired. Been following your build for awhile now. Please share the link to the twin exhaust setup that you have. Im planning to do a similar upgrade to my e90 n52 LCI

@InlineSixAuto Год назад

Thats awesome to hear! For the dual exhaust set-up, there is no kit available for it. You just have to have an exhaust shop do the custom work for you. They should have all the piping but you'll just have to get some exhaust tips that will fit the dual set up. I have some linked from amazon that work perfectly.

How much did it cost to convert your exhaust to the dual exhaust?

@InlineSixAuto Год назад

About $600 for labor and parts. but I had already removed my muffler and resonator prior to doing the conversion. If you were to do it starting from completely stock it would cost more around $800-$1000 I estimate. Also made it easy since I have an M-sport bumper so I just needed to get a diffuser with the dual exit.
