This Tuned BMW 335d Was Built to Embarrass M3 Owners
This is a tuned E90 BMW 335d, one of the least popular 3-series models of this generation here in North America. But does that make it any less special or tuneable than a 335i or M3? Let's find out.

This one was a huge surprise... what a riot. Thanks for watching!
Go to Europe and you will see a lot of diesel enthusiast cars 😊
“Stage 2.9” I’ve heard it all now 😂
That was my thought too, not gonna lie haha
That’s just Malone’s naming scheme for diesel tunes. My X5D has a Malone 2.5 and then there’s a power bump for 2.8 and finally 2.9 has mostly replaced 2.8’s
My 335d on Malone 2.9
They are getting ridiculous with those stages...
Tunezilla uses the same naming scheme
A Xhp gearbox tune will solve the shifting issue and will liven up the car as it removes the gearbox torque limits
This is great news. Upshifts were great, just downshifts were showing some age haha
I have the Sutphin ZF6 tune on my 335d. It's been transformative. I have the tune that doesn't upshift when hitting redline in manual mode. The shifts can chirp the rear tires and stock torque reduction is lessened to a large degree. Downshifts are quicker and more precise too.
@@RoadsUntraveled I drive a 330d myself with xhp stage 3, that alone will make any bmw or actually any car with a ZF gearbox come to live! Highly recommend it.
Isn't that tune harder on the transmission if you're making big power though? I have an e70 X5d and i've been considering it as well@@trevchaser
@@mannyk7100 Anything outside of stock is going to be harder on components. There is no lie about that as physics still applies. You have to find that balance of maintenance, performance and longevity and do what makes your heart and bank account happy.
For anyone checking these out, i got the 330d single turbo manual xdrive in this model.it’s a riot haha! Nobody expects this but it pulls so hard with 750nm and 320hp only stage 2 with downpipe, egr and swirl flaps deleted. Still so much room for more as i still got stock turbo.
I'm sure you can get alot more if the 330d has forged internals. I had my ecoboost mustang making 430 wheel on E30 stock internals and bolt ons and those bmw engines are pretty well engineered in some regards, horrible in others. I have a 328i and like most bmws lots of things are built great but watch out for plastic flanges failing, oil gaskets leaking etc. Especially in the turbos engines, they are known to blow with any disruption of the oil system ie an ofhg changed unless you prime the engine with oil before starting it.
N57 or M57?

BMW 3 liter diesels are great cars (especially with bi-turbo), very popular highway cruisers here in Europe! I myself have f10 535xd which compared to USA spec (same as this car) is basically 30d in europe. Shame you guys dont have these in there. 313 hp with 630 nm stock is crazy and take 2 turbos into account which means there is no turbo lag at all and it pulls from stand still until rev limiter. In future I want to add proper suspension (KW v3) and minor tune up to 700nm as thats what the gearbox is rated at and eventhough lot of guys in europe run much more that that, its my daily and I dont want to have problems with it. Anyway, great video!
Loved your video dude, specially when it kept kicking out dude I saw that put a smile on your face am a BMW e91 diesel driver and loved it. Love from Uk bro
This is awesome great video Marcus it's deffently interesting seeing a diesel e90 platform as in bc I've seen a few x5 diesels but no cars I would guess there mostly in Europe
Thanks! Last diesel I remember loving was the Touareg V10
They are everywhere here in Europe. Probably easier to find than the petrol equivalents tbh
would love to pick up one of these as the "nicer other daily" sleeper AF with all the supporting aftermarket of the e90's. Own a '13 Golf TDI malone stage 2 on Koni yellows 50% stiff with H&R sport springs stick 6 speed. best daily around IMO but my driveway isn't complete without what is essentially a M3D ;) check out the alpina D3 vs. M3 comparison if you're curious
So awesome! Great video and cool car
These things are wicked. Just sold my hybrid turbo 335D M sport. With 300,000k on the car & all M3 components, it was an amazing car to own and experience. I only sold mine to buy the X5/E70 equivalent.
Did you have the fuel system upgraded? What power numbers were you making?
These are a dime a dozen in the UK. The big power diesel scene in the UK has been going on for years. But the E9x models and the e6x models in the 2.5 to 3.5d are very common. Running silly amount of torque and power. I don't think there were very popular in the US nor CAN?
Diesel has a bad reputation over here because of all the brodozer lifted trucks. But there are still people who appreciate diesel cars in North America, it just tends to be more popular in Canada than in America. I’m jealous of how many diesel cars and diesel performance shops you guys have! It’s a much better scene over there for sure
Beautiful car Austin, that thing rips,
Beautiful BMW, sounds great! Excellent video👍🏼
335d wagons! Too bad they didn't sale them in the states!
I still prefer E61 535d wagon with the same engine
shoot man. I'd KILL for a 335d coupe model.
The 2009 rear wheel drive 335d is my favorite BMW. This video example is a very nice and tastefully done example of the 2011 model. The suspension and the lim slip diff kick this up a notch. I love this car!
Ive got that engine in a bmw 1 series so little lighter with hybrids next thing i want to do is valves springs and sort a little oil leak out love it tho
Hey buddy. Awesome car. I have an e70 x5 30d. Our cars use the same engine and ECU if I'm not mistaken. Edc16cp35. Mine has the heaviest steering of all the cars in this generation because of the tyre size and AWD system. I just wanted to bring something to your attention that might help you. If you request too much boost below 1000rpm it will make the steering feel heavier and gears shift wierdly. Ask your tuner to edit your map in that region. I'm not sure if he edited the n75 map but it can also do that. I've managed to make my steering feel almost as soft as my previous E60 with some trial and error editing the boost map,boost limiter for atmospheric pressure and n75 maps below 1000rpm and 50% load. Best of luck 👍
Please get a set of b14's. You'll love em and they're height adjustable. Beautiful vehicle. Sold my S85 v10 for your same reasons. Fuel was nuts and smg...naaa. Driving my 328 e91 now and im perfectly satisfied..but i want your torque. Dangit!!
Needs an XHP stage 3 and a proper ecu map. These make 400hp+ of just an dpf delete swirl and egr, put an r90 hpfp in it and you’ll see 420ish with stock turbos
RE butt pucker moment...thats how i wrote my 335d off...had all the same mods just also an hpX stg3 and 100 shot of nitrous. Forgot the system was armed mashed the loud pedal on a slightly damp road ...and proceeded briskly thru a brick wall. Car virtually did an instant 90deg turn at 50mph😅
I like it but im against diesel coal trail, what model is the android unit?
When I got my 335D i was amazed at how it pulls from nothing, 2 years on it still amazes me
So many of these in the UK lol love to see them smoke some proper sports cars shooting huge clouds of smoke out the rear the F30 335d is pretty crazy, they make about 390bhp with just a map before you even start modifications
I have a 335d, had the deletes and custom dyno tune done at 18k miles. The car now has around 65k miles, love it.
Honestly the E90 is my favorite looking 3 Series. Everything is just right!
I just bought the same car exact looking car but with the n55 and thought my power steering pump had gone bad. Car really is just that heavy on steering huh? lol I love this thing though
I run the JR 2.8 and Sutphin on the trans, still has some weird shifts so its not magical on the trans tune but Ill just swap it one day with a brand new one
Many sporty cars with an auto gearbox needs a tune so the gearbox will stay in gear at redline in manual mode and shift fast when you're accelerating or decelerating quickly.
As long as people take care of their cars they will be fine 😂❤ it doesn't matter how much miles are on it as long as you take care of it! Its just like anything
I’ve got a 325d e90. It’s the same engine as this but with a single turbo and comes with smaller injectors. The cheapest way to get the m57 engine in the UK. It’s got an ecu map on it and goes like an absolute train and I still get over 50mpg on a motorway. I can’t believe you’d never heard of a 335d 😂 the diesels are more popular over here than the petrol models which were pretty weak for e9x platform
What brand trunk spoiler is on it?
I was looking for these like 3-4 months ago and theyre impossible to find in ontario 😭
Found mine in north bay last August, but it took 6 months of waiting and searching. Best of luck!
@@haggysacks8166 might just go through the hassle of getting one from Buffalo
what thule airscreen is that?
manual swap is easy, NCSExpert and just highlight and delete the auto transmission %code from the vehicle order, tap the reverse switch into DME, and regular manual trans install. Vehicular DIY has an easy step by step walk through
What the hell on Earht is 2.9 🤣!? I had stage 2 e91 with 3.0 with 300+hp 680Nm. M3 e46 , Subaru Impreza STi and even Audi S4 were left behind somewhere in smokes. Stage 2 by metal (better fuel pump, Wagner intercooler, better fuel injections etc.), Stage 3 by soft. Only hybrid turbine was missed to make additional 50hp. Welcome to Eastern Europa boys... 335 with stage 2 normally comes with at least 380+ hp and 700+ Nm with ProSoft. But, 2.9 still is a mistery. 😉
A friend had a e92 335d stage 2. 420bhp 597lbs. Quick motor
Is the diffrence between m57 and n57 really that big? I got stage 2 f31 35d and pushin 400/800. (590 lb/ft) with 2x less smoke
Yes, especially if the N57's rear timing chain starts singing.
I just still can't believe how beautiful the US is... driving with the mountain ranges in the distance... man, am jealous af! Love a good German diesel
Get the transmission flashed for full control. I think I used XHP for mine.
What LSD is easiest to add to the 335d?
Wavetrac
2009 here but my state has emission testing
sweet…..want that ft bumper on e92 m3
Stage 2.9, makes the same power as a completely original car with a reflashed ecu😆👌
Are you sure the loudspeakers are not original? Looks like Logic 7 by Harman Kardon to me. If its the case, the system ist very very good sounding.
4:10 helllll no. The coupes are so much better looking. Id say 10x
My 320d has 210hp, 450nm and feels like something between a petrol and electric car. It puts the power down a lot different to 325ci
such a shame it's not a manual,you could have more fun with it(in europe there are some with a manual gearbox)
Rather have a single turbo manual 330d myself. Less complexities and more simple with one turbo and more control over gearing with the manual. Lighter car as well. For front engined RWD cars, 460 ft/lbs is the sweet spot imo, more than that you need AWD.
100% agree but never had them in north america
@@henrym5889 I have a 2009 N57 E90 330D Manual, Stage one mapped with uprated clutch, intercooler and various poly bushes. Nearly 170K on it and still drives like it's only done 50K.... Manual is fun, kinda like old 80's laggy turbo hatches. I love it!
Just say youre broke and cant afford to buy/mantain a 335d.
My RWD 335D has 520 ft/lb at the wheels and no traction issues in dry conditions. 255/18 at the rear. Level of traction needed is determined by power output, not torque,.
My coworker has 1, I was told he want to do manual swap from a European 335d.
why are you not using the paddels lol
because it has the old shitty 6 speed lmao
a tuned n54 can make 600 ft of torque on the stock bottom end, 550+lb ft on the stock turbos. It revs 2-3k rpm higher, and is a much better platform for going fast, generally. Not saying a tuned 335d isnt cool or cant also be fast, but just comparing apples to apples in a real way. IF you have a boner for diesel, go d lol... I'll be keeping my single turbo manual n54..
“Diesels are lazy, we can be lazy here” *almost crashes* 😂
That black smoke though
All that soot is just gross. Not a tree hugger but this is too much.
needs a better tune for sure. Stage 1 tune shouldnt smoke like that.
@@SupraStar29could be mechanical issue like vacuum lines or a boost leak, but the 2.9 tends to be a bit more smoke heavy
Ive had 3 335Ds, 1 X5D(same M57 engine) still have 1 of my 335Ds now, that smoke is 100% caused by vaccum leak/boost leak/injector leak. That car WILL NOT smoke even with catless defless setup, unless you make it with redneck tunes. @@morstyrannis1951
even stage 2+ shouldnt smoke like that, it has a vacuum or boost leak 100% @@SupraStar29

Hah! Aftermarket speakers... Dont commit BMW blasphemy please. Those are BMW Individual Audio speakers. I retrofitted my E90 with those! Fun project! Especially coming from Base Audio
2:19 I’d argue that *only* enthusiasts buy diesel cars in the US. Nobody accidentally buys a diesel.
does anybody know what front bumper that is?
M sport
in europe 330D,335D,530D,535D are everywhere xD i even drive en 535D wagon myself
535D without x-drive is the best, I had a 530d with rear wheel steering and sold it to buy a C63S but I really mis my diesel BMW :(
@@tubejorrit yeah mine is also without xdrive and its very solid and fun daily, i wouldn't trade mine if not for a newer 5 series diesel :)
@@roxerpro100 After the F generation only the pre-lci came with only rwd 30d engine. All other 6 cilinder engines came with x-drive sadly.
Here in Europe, we have guys running those with 500+ hp and around 1000nm
The most powerful M57/N57s in the world are made in the USA (Santjer)
@@lutherblissett9070hell nahh in usa you got some nice build but the best ones are in europe specially at uk and romanian drag races

I'm amazed by Americans discovering that BMW produces diesel cars. Meanwhile 95% of non-M cars in Europe are diesel, and 4 cyl ones at that.
Superb car. It looks very beautiful and very elegant.
wheelspin and sideways is not the same thing my man :P
I still can’t find a mechanic to program my fuel injectors for my 335
Possibly unpopular take, LCI E90 sedans are better looking than any E46s. Coupes def E46
Ive had mine for a few years now (actually for sale at the moment) and love it. Such an awesome, unassumimg daily. The turbo sounds are so great and the torque is such a riot around town. It gets so many funny looks and questions too. Not to mention the incredible fuel mileage!
why are you selling it?
@@louis8869I bought a newer boosted 5.0. I don't drive much anymore so I don't need the mileage and hit some goals in my company so the mustang was my "reward" car. Annndddd we don't have space for another car...otherwise I'd absolutely keep the D around.
Congrats man and I'm sure that blown coyote is a weapon!
@@louis8869 thank you!! It is an absolute machine with the 10 speed. But I will say, that 335 is more fun around town. The 5.0 finally starts getting really fun once things start getting really illegal 😂 so I don't get to rip as often. Which is why having both around would be nice!
Just a regular 335d 🤷🏻♂️ Good car for learner but no way embarrassing to any M3 owner, except maybe when parking next to it as diesel smells as disgusting as it sound 😅 The engine start at the beginning of the video sums it wonderfully 😅
It's not aftermarket speakers it's bmw individual audio system...
looks like Abbotsford bc canada
Just ask Alpina. They’ve been doing performance diesels for years.
Such a dumb comment
Sound's great
stage "2.9" and only 355hp :D mine has 340hp with stage 1 :D
Transmission upgrade= 8hp swap
+ some mods and it can produce about 450hp and ~1000Nm torque, just seen E90 xdrive 100-200 in 6.7s and 0-100 a bit less than 4s
💯 dude
Every kid in north europe has 335d or 535d just like this. M3 is still m3.
Faster or not, nobody in an m3 is being embarrassed by this tractor.
Fuel economy say it is
bros mad a diesel car is faster than his shitbox
I would be embaressed if my car smoked that much.
m57 is one of the best engine bmw made
I own a 2011 335d. My friends who work at bmw agree it was one of the finest engines. And yes that torque hits like a freight train
Almost bought one in 2018 but with a 6mt. Talk about rare. 🤙🏾
No such thing as a manual 335d.
@@hexagonosaurus5848 You sir, are correct. I was looking at two 335's at the time. I went back and looked through my old emails bc I couldn't find pictures and the 335d was auto while the 335i was 6mt.
2:45 how in the hell is an e90 better than a e92? Ive never understood this, the 4 door is so ugly but the coupe is probably one of the better looking cars ever built. Not to mention a bit of weight and the aero difference. Idk ive never understood that
4 doors more whores. e90 lci is more attractive imo
I dont think it passes emission regulations xD
Lost my license on these roads 😅
i don't think those are aftermarket speakers
I could be wrong. I believe the owner told me he put in new speakers but I may have misinterpreted that as new and aftermarket speakers.
@@RoadsUntraveled i have an msport 335i of the same year and they look identical, i believe they are just the logic 7 speakers that were a factory option
The most recent M3 this would embarrass would be an e46 lol
so it has 200 more ft lbs of torque than a e90 m3, but 100 less horsepower. i bet the M3 will still pull on him from a rolling start
Stage what sorry 😂😂😂😂
Somewhere there is a tuned 335i built to embarrass M3 and 335d owners
ding ding ding there it is.
TuneZilla juice
sad you guys dont have wagon
And still it maintains 50mpg fuel economy
sutfin transmission tune
e90 looks way better than an e46 imo more timeless
335d’s are great but u should try a big turbo 330d e92 and trust me you’ll be surprised
The sound of the 2 turbos is important believe me
Doesnt sound that good with thay straight pipe, and it smokes because the map aint that good. In europe we know our diesels.
Too bad it wasn't a stick, and BTW a e90 m3 would smoke this in a drag lol
no it wouldn’t lol, m3s have no torque whatsoever
Lol malone tune. That’s why it’s so smokey
Embarrass M3 owners….yeah ok🤷🤣
yea e90 m3s have garbage torque and are slow as fuck. only fun on a track
What type of LSD is he using?
Look at the background . The car is parked o dirt No driveway 1 bedroom 1 bathroom home Tires burnt out Headlights fogged up. You are broke struggling, and lying about your mods lmaooo
bby come to europe to get diesel
