Owner of 6 bimmers view on 335i

[Vtec?lol]

^dont forget the difference in the turbos.

Not that I have either but I've driven both

The only 335i I would like is a fully mtech'd out 6spd. Even they have their issues.

Compared to the m3, the m3 is a totally different beast. Bigger brakes, wider tires, and a totally different attitude. You can feel it come alive at 6,500rpm. A high revving NA V8 wins. Idgaf.

OP is slowly becoming a tool.

Direct injector problems. HPFP recall/software issues. Carbon buildup due to direct injection (fuel doesn't clean off the intake valves), requiring the intake mani to be removed and the valves be walnut blasted, and IIRC, the engine needs to be removed to do this.


Early 335s are garbage.

Everything slammin.e28 just said.Also its not because (its not an e30), but everybody chooses there own poison to drink if life. This is one drink i will pass on. ;)

So an issue with oil cooling during HPDEs / track days makes the 335i one of the worst used car purchases ever?

same as people have done for every version of the M3

the thing is, once you add in the costs of all the mods and extra repairs/headaches that come with having a highly modified car.. you could have just bought an M3 and then be done with it.

it's like, why buy all the parts you need to make your not-M3 "like" an M3, when you can just buy an M3?

Did I misread your post, it sounded like you were trying to call him out for calling his sport suspension "M suspension" all I did was let you know that lots of people were swapping the parts so it is the same as M3 suspension. Don't know how that turned into you telling me how swapping a bunch M of parts onto to a non M does not make it better then a M3 even if it is faster, I have said that on page 1. I would never buy a 335i or probably any E9x for all the different problems they have but the OP did only pay $23k for a car that is nearly just as fast as an M3, but you have probably seen E9x M3s for only a few Kay more.:)

surely you know that "m suspension" doesn't mean it has the same suspension as an M3, right?

I hope you're posting from a phone..

I don't disagree - but saying you can get a cheaper BMW and add all the M3 stuff to make it like an M3 makes zero sense.

[Northern]

I think the guy who buys and mods a 335 and the guy who buys an m3 and leaves it alone are two completely different people.

[nando]

Not sure what his has but people have been swapping out the parts to have the same suspension as an M3.

^ Cool. Carry on.

According to this guy it is:

Early 335 is probably one of the worst used car buys ever.

That's who I was originally questioning.

[markseven]

^ Of course not.

IIRC they had severe oil-cooling issues. During HPDEs / track days these and the 135 would go into limp mode due to excessive oil temps.

So an issue with oil cooling during HPDEs / track days makes the 335i one of the worst used car purchases ever?

[markseven]

Based on what?

to the comment on early model so tell me difference between the early and 2011?same right.

wrong. the early moustache front end pales in comparison, as do the taillights. the iDrive update is light years better. still a good car, yes. but when you call it the same and compare to the M3 I have to comment. not sure if serious or trolling.
