How to Build the Ultimate N54-Powered E90 BMW 335i

Is the E90 BMW 335i Today’s BMW performance bargain? The BMW E9x sedans and coupes fitted with the turbocharged N54 engine offer a lot of performance for the price. BimmerWorld added the right parts to a 2010 E90-chassis 335i sedan to create the perfect track and road car–and a fast one, too, as it outran the latest Toyota Supra GR and Honda Civic Type R.

Full build recipe for this car:

NOTHING BEATS THE E90! I had that exact car.. same year, same rims, tuned, all new head unit with all new speakers.. carbs walnut blasted, new shocks.. manual trans.. sold it in 2017 for $12, 000. Had 90, 000 miles on it. That $12, 000 was fair market value.. now these sell for $20k? The market.. but I regret selling it every single day

As a former Bmw tech walnut blasting the intake is a must especially over 70k miles.

Wow 6 piston BBK for the front and rear! Quite the pricey upgrade but ultimate mod I’m sure

Love this!
So much information for the platform especially if you are preparing for a track day or a very hard street day.

Not usually a stats guy but those stats are amazing when comparing two vehicles thank you for sharing that really does sell it for me

This is great content and better than a lot of "car channels" out there. Keep at it JG! You got this.

absolutely in love with my e90 335i. I've owned newer bmw's, just don't like the numb electric steering. The feedback that you get from the front on the e90 is sublime, something you don't find anymore on newer sports cars...

Absolutely love my e90. such a great all around car. exactly what a bimmer should be.

Love my e90 335, great car for the money, I can’t bring myself to replace it

[proudeagle]

you need LSD Diff upgrade immediately, it will change whole car, LSD + upgrade you guys done on the car make it even better than M3

[boybotjr]

I love how it looks it’s OEM plus and not crazy wacky body

[Grassrootsmotorsports]

Are E90 BMW’s with the N54 one of today’s best value performance cars? What do you think?

[randallboone]

Here I am, with a 2011 335i, some upgraded suspension, fbo, jb4, mhd, xhp stage 3, and Im thinking of buying a “track car”. This has the gears turning lol

[boduoxu]

Did this car had a LSD installed when track test? It says'We have yet to install a LSD into our 335i and are currently evaluating several options.' How did you feel about the LSD? What LSD did you guys end up taking? Love the great stuffs on this channel!!❤

Does any know if this build applies to the n55 e90?

[yasinhussain]

Can anyone show me where i can find the the full list of mods done to this build? Ive been doing extensive research on modifying and n54 e90. Would help me alot thanks!

never heard of rod bearings going. Never seen this problem and im in a group of over 50 500whp+ n54s

[TheYoungAze]

Hello! What are the offset of the wheels? I am looking to upgrade and I am set on 18 or 19x9.5+35 but I am getting a lot of people telling me they will rub and won’t work (in the front) also are any spacers being used?

Upgraded water pump? I'd like a link please!
