I'm an ex-service advisor, shop foreman, and service manager for BMW so I would like to mention a few things:
1. You skipped out on the PAW N55 for the E92/E90 which has less issues but makes less bolt on power. With a tune 350whp is common and a Pure Stage 1 turbo is 400whp all day without wastegate issues (assuming you fix the vacuum lines).
2. The S65 has rod bearing issues that are more due to the owners than the car. Change your oil, let it warm up, and change you spark plugs every 30k. This will pretty much avoid the issue (194k on my last one when I sold it). Throttle body actuators, evaporator cores leak on early ones, and prepare to spend a lot in fuel.
3. The 335is is a monster. It's a 1M/Z4 35is Sdrive tuned car with the same clutch as both (and the 550i) if you get a manual OR a DCT automatic that's bonkers too. It's a bit tricker to tune but MAN it's fun!
4. Pay for someone to install your N54 downpipes. It's not worth the PTSD nightmares, TRUST ME! From a B5 S4, 300Z TT, and a STS-V this job is one of the worst.
5. FCP Euro! Lifetime warranty on all their parts! You pay shipping, you get a new part!
6. The electric water pumps...they just suck. Stick to the OEM plastic propeller ones, the metal ones kill engines when they go.
7. Valve Cover Gaskets, Oil Filter Housing Gasket, and Oil Pan Gasket... all these will leak so find a car that has them done. VCGs will dip on the exhaust and smoke you out. OFHGs leak onto your belts and throw them off destroking your front main seal and getting in your engine. Not fun. Oil Pan... well you lose oil quick and your aero panels will be coated in gunk. It's a pan to do this one.
8. Only the M cars have a factory LSD.
9. These are great cars if treated correctly. Remember, they are 40k-60k cars new, their parts and labor is going to be expensive. If you are a DIYer then they will make you a good technician.
10. Remember to enjoy your car!

E90-E92 3 Series? The disrespect for the E93 is real

[rickrodriguez]

N54
•expensive to maintain
•can handle power
•has spinny boys
•sounds amazing
•expensive to maintain
•is better in single turbo
•great hellcat killer built
•and again expensive to maintain

“So you want an e92”
**shows an F30 in the intro clips**

[humanbeing]

Ok i noticed that they had some labels confused

The e90 is the 4 door sedan
The e91 is the 4 door wagon
The e92 is the 2 door coupe
The e93 is the 2 door convertable

There are 4 cars in this generation not 3

They also forgot that there are some all wheel drive xdrive models too

E46's & E92's the last real BMW's 👑

[Germknoedel]

The e92 is one of the best looking Bmw's in my opinion, I dont really like the new models

N54 has the following similarities to 2JZ
- 3.0L Inline 6
- Twin turbskis
- Forged rods
- Forged crank
- Toyota overbuilt the 2JZ to encourage tuning/to flex/to skirt the <300hp "gentleman's agreement". BMW overbuilt the N54 because it was their first attempt at a boosted engine and they wanted to make really really sure that it wasn't going to blow up. Because of that, the rods are THICK, the pistons are THICK, the block (despite being aluminium instead of cast iron 🙁 and open-deck instead of closed-deck ☹️) is well reinforced with extra webbing and such. People are pushing 700-800hp on stock blocks with stock internals.

The N54 is actually It's just everything around the damn thing that makes it unreliable 😂

[dopboy]

I seen a 2jz swapped e92 the other day and my life hasn’t been the same

I just began my 16th year of owning my 2007 E92 328i and have around 145, 000 miles on it. It feels special every time I start it up. I maintain the car very well and have loved it since day one of ownership. The perfect steering feel and the silky smooth non-turbo inline six cylinder engine are simply not available in current 3 series BMWs. There is no “infotainment system “ on this car; the entertainment is in the driving.

No joke i was just searching for this car and then this popped out. Yall know too much bout me

[Spookz]

The E9X M3 is my favorite car is own. The exhaust note is intoxicating and the bodystyle is timeless. Engine is pretty bulletproof too once the rod bearings and throttle actuators are done

[timkane]

I love my 2013 e92 335xi n55!Even though I’ve had most of the common issues - valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, water pump and a cracked coolant reservoir. Fixed it myself and saved tons. Upgraded the inter cooler, charge pipe, intake, brakes, wheels and tires. Added a stage 1 tune and kept the stock exhaust and suspension. It’s fast and fun without breaking the bank!

N52 reliable almost never in the shop gang. 🔥

[scanspeak]

Classic styling, manual, inline 6, RWD - a future classic. If you're scared of maintenance issues, gets the naturally aspirated N52, change to shorter diff, and enjoy the purity.
