I just aqquired a 335i and it needs a hpfp and im thinkijg belt shards pulled out from the pan. Oh as well as leaks. But i went to the canyons not to far from my house. I have to say the 330i with B12 prokit is extremely fun and can give any ride a run for its money. At 225,000 miles it is still so strong and I even hit 100mph on some straights. The 6 speed manual shifts so precise with the short shift kit. I wonder how a automatic 335i will feel.

I have a 330i 6MT and a E93 335i auto. The 330 is awesome. Yeah the 335i power is loads of fun but the N52 coupled to a manual transmission is no slouch. I can't tell if the extra weight of the E93 makes it feel slower or I just have some boost issues to fix - still working on that but for now they're both awesome cars in different ways.

Love the 330i... I think it is just perfect! Every time I start thinking of a different car, I just come back to how good this one is!

Tune and minimal mods to the 335 (Burger 500hp pkg or equivalent) and you'll literally be doing 100 mph in 3rd gear (experienced yesterday while data logging in 3rd wot at just over 5100 rpm). No going back once experiencing the thrill of approaching 500 hp in this platform (requiring just 2k in parts).

if you were to keep one. Which one would you keep. Im at a dilemma. I have to much cars. I already a 6 speed 328i e90 low miles. But the my 330i is a gem. And I put so much into it. My 335i is awsome once i fix some issues but i worry its gonna be to maintenance heavy

No, just 330 and 528. Both N52 engines. Trying to avoid turbos for as long as I can!

It’s five less good than a 335 but two better than a 328. The numbers don’t lie.
