Elvis has some dope skills. I love that he can pretty much do and make anything for the car builds.

Takes me back. Had a 2008 Le Mans blue 335i M-Touring but got pushed off the road by a lorry/truck and it unfortunately got scrapped. Loved that car!
Coilover's and big brake kit would be nice so it turns and stops as well as it will go with 400lb/ft.
Elvis has some awesome skill, knocking out an custom exhaust on your own like that is very impressive...
Elvis is by far the best addition to the Wheeler dealer franchise
Elvis BMW M job made me all shook up!

What about headlights.. they look a bit blur and without the xenons really not good
Great skills. But you left in the most restrictive part, the header cats.
Beautiful job Elvis! Love the color. Wish we had a 335i estate in the US. I had an E92 335i xDrive. Chipped and tuned with high-flow intakes. Love that car!
Looks gorgeous !!!
You didn’t list the cost for the tune. You don’t get an extra 100 bhp with a new exhaust and cooler
This wagons look stunning
Dear Good what You guys made :-) Awesome BMW.
“Unrestricted flow from the engine to the tailpipe” but leaves the cats in. You should have put sports cats in

The guy worked on F1 cars but yeah he doesn't know what he is doing..
I'm guessing the injectors and high pressure fuel pump on this thing was still in good nick? Very tempted to make an M-lite E91 but was always apprehensive about the engine's ancilliaries
Nice BMW 3gen slill looks good🤘
doing downpipes makes a huge difference on the n54
You make me smile❤
With the wrong headlights/kidney grille it always looks weird. A M3 is almost completely different from a non-M, but at least it has somewhat of a M3-look.
With regards to the exhaust being larger diameter, yes flow is increased and top BHP, but is there not a sweet point so you don’t lose back pressure and low down torque?

The sweet point on a turbo car is no back pressure

I appreciate that you made a really nice exhaust, but I suspect there's quite large gains in fitting aftermarket downpipes. At least in my experience with JZ engines, the stock cast downpipe/dump pipes are huge restrictions. You're better off spending money there, rather than making sure your exhaust is mandrel bent.

Don't forget that this show is broadcast on TV. So while I'm sure Elvis knows that they could get more gains out of a Downpipe & Decat, the production company won't actually allow them to install them because they're not really seen as "legal" for MOT inspection. Obviously, there are aftermarket applications available for road use, but they'd rather just use the stock ones so that people don't think they're promoting something that isn't by-the-book.

Yeah cos a 3.0 straight 6 turbo sounds like a 4.4 V8 turbo doesn't it.
1st time ive seen the episode, what a car, mind blowing result, the welding, mike on his favourite machine, the shot blaster, and that vinyl wrap spray was amazing. Well done Wheeler Dealers.
Is there a new series back on??
Perfect💪💪

Great, with that stance you now have an SUV
What’s the paint called
M badges on the wheels would be good
Nice! She's still going to break miserably...
How do you "upgrade" an N54 335i without doing downpipes and a tune? You left close to 100hp on the table for under a grand.

What's the purpose of an intercooler??
@leenevin8451
Жыл бұрын
It’s a radiator that cools the air/boost into the engine. When the turbo sucks in air it compresses it which heats it up. Engines don’t like hot air, makes less power

I'm wondering why his tow truck steering wheel bolts' tails aren't trimmed off to suit the nuts.
I confess I am unfamiliar with the paint system they used... but it was odd that once it was done, there were no shots of the doors, boot or bonnet being opened. I have a feeling that there would have been a lot of grey in there... I'm not sure this show ever quite recovered from the China/Brewer divorce.
We are in 2023, and the normal e9x generation came out in late 2005 and the M3 later, how come Mike wanted one 20 years ago?! 🤔

"After mapping the engine, adding free flow air filters and new wheels" then we have intercooler, lsd, exhaust. Is there something wrong with me or they forgot about something.
how many times do they say we are going to build the BMW that BMW never made ? [ answers on a post card ]

stage one remap alone adds about 50-60 bhp or so, these cars only run 8 PSI stock, turning that up to 12-14 alone gives you quite a bump in performance.

60 min program ,10mins on car lol
Nice work but doesn't look anything like an M3. The rear is quite nice, however no widened arches, no M3 bonnet bulge or side skirts, the front bumper is just wrong proportions, the e90 M3 saloon also had the e92 coupe front lights and grill that made the M3 look good. This is just a long way off for what I expect from a car enthusiast tbh
That car is to high up front🤨
