- Today I decided to sit down and discuss the advantages of owning a BMW M235i over a 335/435i! All of these cars are great no doubt and they all provide amazing driving experiences and practicality in one package. However, I truly believe the M235i from a strictly (performance) standpoint is a superior car. Hope you guys enjoyed the video and be sure to like and subscribe for more content!

One thing I forgot to mention is that the N55 used in the M235i & M2 comes with a forged crankshaft, connecting rods, & bearings unlike the 335i/435i.
So it can take more power or what advantages does it get from this? And what are bolt ons? Im from germany and I always hear bolt ons but I dont make up whats meant with that. Anyways I've always come upon your vids since u have got your e92. Very informative and good videos! Keep up the great work bro!
D K the advantages of having a car that already has forged internals is that when you want to turn up the boost or add bolt one you don’t have to worry too much about your engine blowing up with the added hp. Bolt ons pretty much refers to parts that you can install your self with out having to do major engine work like, headers, air Intake, exhaust.
@@Anythinginlife777 thanks! Finally I get it 😂👍
That's the same also for B58 engine?I am interested to buy a M240i 🙂
@@greenbeast45amg90 yes the m235i m240i
have forged internals
Thanks, as someone looking to buy an M235i in couple months, this is very useful to me! Glad you like the car.
you're very welcome man!
I have 3 kids... 335i it is lol... my n54 has 260km on it really reliable car.
Beautiful song choice for the intro 👌
Videos are dope af man. I had mine m235i for over a year now and I love it. Amazing machines.
thank you bro! That's awesome to hear!
4, 3, or 2 all are amazing. I love my 4 💀
Like his reviews a ton. Great video bro. I am definitely sold on the 2 series now.
Is that ty brasel on background music? Also I agree with everything in this video except with the body roll part. It's not bad to have some roll and shock travel especially in street or canyon scenario. Softer ride and more travel helps with the bumps and changes in the road and the roll communicates as well. Great videos keep them up!
Yet again. Another awesome video! Car sounds incredible 🎈🎈🎈
thank you bro!!
The seats in the M235i are insanely nice.. Just rode 1000 miles strait in them no problem
I would love to see you do a video on how to have a better financial position/situation. Does youtube actually provide a huge revenue? How can you afford a car and at the same time all different kinds of mods. I have been following your channel since you own 335i. Thanks!
I love my E92, but I got a ride in a tuned M240i last Sunday...and holy s**t...might have to trade it in!
Something about the N54’s raw feel keeps pulling me back though.
I've had mine for 5 years, one of the first deliveries to my dealer back in March 2014. Simply put the best DD for the money.
couldnt agree more. thats awesome to hear about your long term ownership!
Great video. I have a fully tuned f30 335 but have driven the m235 hard through the canyons and can agree 100% with what you are saying. The steering feel is definitely improved and something I wish we could swap to the f30. Not sure about the gear box thing but I have a tuned transmission and with a dp I get snaps on the upshifts and crackles on downshifts
thank you! yes, im sure with a tuned ZF8 it def feels very good, i get those awesome snaps on the upshifts as well, they are so satisfying
@@SimplyCarThings ya all in all the cars have very different approaches. The m235 feels like a go-kart you feel tight and snug and low where the f30 feels bulkier and you need to load up to get through a windy section with multiple quick turns. The m235 is much more responsive in that aspect and feels a lot lighter. Both are great cars you just have to drive them differently.
One of the best looking cars Bmw has ever made, absolutely love the M2 just wish i could afford one lol
Good review. This is the car that I am considering as an upgrade from an 2009 330i sedan
thank you! you'll most definitely enjoy it, mine is actually up for sale right now
I hope you make more videos of your car bro I would love to see more tune 🤛🏾👏🏾✌🏾
tons of stuff coming so stay tuned!
Very good points in this video 👊🏽
thank you, Khalid!
love the intro music
glad you like it man!!
Great vid mate.
thank you!
Nice! Just watch those hidden potholes in LA It’s crazy outside
good point haha, thanks!
I’d love to pick up a M240i. Still driving my N54 135i.
When size of m235i is perfect the rear of the car look kinda funky. Considering on 335i you can get heads up display full LED headlights and so on it really leada me choosing 335i dont you think?
Installing coilovers m3 swaybars next week on the 335i
dopeee bro good luck on the install
you could argue that since the 2 series has a smaller wheel width then the 4 series that they will end up being equal in handeling even though the 4 series is couple hundered pounds heavier
I think what you are saying is balanced and informative another great video this channel is awesome 😎
thanks bro, always appreciate your feedback!
Another good video
thank you, Ivan! Appreciate that
I was going to get an M235i, but I saw a great deal on 1addicts for a 30k miles 135i in the color and options I want and M3 suspension mods and standard transmission. It's not as great looking, but I'm so damn excited
Better choice 👍🏾
n54 over n55 anytime!
that's awesome man! Congratulations great pick up
I'm not going to lie a 235i looks really good but i still love my 2015 435i m-sport
you cant go wrong with either one, they're both amazing!
The 4 series looks much better, more street presence 👌
Samad Kayani A lot more space as well?
The 2 series coupe is the better looking though. I don’t understand the 4 series hips.
Unreliable n54 gang where ya at?🤣❤️
Nice video bro👌🏼
Samer Hamouch N54 Gang 🔥
🤟🏾🤟🏾😎
✌🤸♂️
Great vid like always man! I’m e92 owner and I cant find better looking car so far 😄🤟
Tomelis same, one of the best body styles Bmw ever made. It ages so well
thank you man! I love the E92's haha
Just got a N54 e92 with a DCT. Let's see how it goes.. 🙂🙂
When will you get new wheels? Stock ones look weak
you are right new bimmers have no good steering feeling
I just like the body of the 435i
What were your thoughts on not getting a manual?
Bro, the intro song
Chimp - JUICE Wrld (Unreleased)🔥🥺
one of my favorites!
I wonder Xdrive in three of these cars adds up any disadvantage? I mean, I know (also more fuel consumption) it's gonna add up some weight but an additional 50 HP or more and/or some light wheels etc. will change that weight difference. However, AWD gonna make this car way safer and driveable in all weather conditions, faster 0 to 60 etc. But I wonder if Xdrive adds up any disadvantage beside fuel consumption and weight? Does it ruins handling of the car etc.?
Great questions. I’m wondering the same thing
Lower 0-60 due to added weight
Your channel is awesome man. Love what you do. The M235i is sweet. I am currently in a BMW 335i and our crew has a Skyline GTST / G35 and WRX STI. Would love meet you at an event sometime. Any support is appreciated as we're just starting out with our channel!
thanks man! Appreciate your support ill check your channel out
@@SimplyCarThings amazing. thanks for replying man!
Whats rims on the white one at 5:10 ?
So with a stage one tune, and FBO, what do you think the M235i and Xdrive version will do 0-60 in?
In the 3s
Man Ommar! You got the right one for yourself bro! When you lower it, tint it, and slam some low profile rims and tires on that puppy, your boys gonna have to put you in a straight jacket cause you about to flip out! Lol
lol! Thanks Steven, appreciate your support always!
@@SimplyCarThings you got it bro!
F22 lyfe 🔥
yessssir
Not sure if you mentioned it, but the m235i also has forged crankshafts just like the m2
that was something i forgot to mention, great point!
I got 3 options rn a 2011 335is 33k miles , 2017 M235i 50k miles or a BMW M3 E46 112k Miles Vanos and Bearings Done . Anyone help me choose !!
Edit all are around the same price point !
Please mute/disable your Active Sound Design. Fake engine noise is all we’re hearing on the video but n55 itself sounds much different (better)
Im thinking about switching over from a 640i grancoupe to an m235i do you guys think this is a good idea? Im looking for a more rewarding driving experience.
In looking at some 650s and the 235 and I'd get the 2 i think. Nothing beats that 6 in rae power but the 2 just has that look, much smaller so the handles on it im sure kill the 6. I've always ALWAYS wanted the 6 even with the funky looking years while ago I loved the trunk area but I think there's more fun to be had in the 2. Just imo anyway
You forgot something huge, the 235i has certain forged engine components and the 3/4 doesnt..
yes i completely forgot to include that. great point!
Like what pistons,rods or crank?
bro im straight up about to sell my n54 for one of these too
haha do it bro! You cant go wrong!
I’m looking at purchasing a 2016 235i. Would you recommend the Manual or auto?
Manual
Great info 235i is a nice car but I need a bigger car so I would have to go with 335i or 435i
Love your channel, but come on, you say that just because you own a M235i, I got the 4 series after test driving the 2 series and 3 series, because it handles better than the 3 series, but also more comfortable for a daily than the 2 series. Unless you goto the track, (which is what the M2 was made for), the 4 series is the better compromise. Don't get me wrong, the M235i is an amazing car, one of the few models that truly stays with BMW's roots of ultimate driving machine, but as Chris Harris once said "The 4 series has more performance than most buyers will ever need, it really does!"
XMG3 i’m not sure if you watched the full video bro but i stated that from a performance driving perspective the M235i is superior. I am fully aware that the 3/4 series is more roomy but that doesnt have to do with performance haha
@@SimplyCarThings Yes, on that front I do agree, and yes I did watch the full video, I always do on your channel, I owned a montego blue E92 335i manual before, also wasn't the cleanest one just like your previous black 335i, so you have been one of my fav channels for a while =), Bimmers for life bro.
XMG3 thank you brotha for your continuous support. I love the 435i as well great car no doubt i actually almost picked one up. Much respect as well ✊🏼
Chris Harris was talking about a m4 not a 435.lol
My 235i was hopefully just a lemon, but it put me off of the brand for sure. Trans went out at 51k lol.. Check engine light after check engine light, loved the sound of that car.. But I went back to audi :/
Audi S3’s are badass
Why didnt u mention the m135 n55? Would be more interesting:)
mainly because it's the variant that's in the m235i! and unfortunately the US markets don’t have the option of it.
I own a 2011 135i n55 dct and m package
Where did you get those ripped jeans, I love them! Fashionista over here.
Can I trade in my n54 and get a 435? Even if I still owe like 5k?🤔
They will add the $5k to the next vehicle
Cost of ownership, reliability, cost of maintenance/parts/service. These are the things that cause me to worry about a German car after owning American econoboxes for years. But frankly I'm really thinking of making the leap.
I think my total ownership cost with my M235i was like $200 lol, it never gave me any issues even when tuned on E85
@@SimplyCarThings How long do you usually run cars in general? I ran my last one from 0 miles to 166k and sold it. Econoboxes, like I said.
@@exothermal.sprocket as long as you give it a oil change every 3-5k miles and tune up you will be fine. Also when things need to be fixed do it asap and no problem.
@@brianrenteria9181 Due to my first auto accident in 24 years, I cracked up the front of my previous car and had to find a car that wouldn't bore me to death in the midst of used car sales skyrocketed. Found a low mile used '18 GTI SE manual. Liking it quite a lot. One owner previously, owned by a pilot.
@@exothermal.sprocket nice bro I had a Jetta and I loved it. You can’t go wrong with what u got, drive safe! Sorry about your accident.
Do these advantages hold over a 435i msport and mppk?
Good question, I think that's dependent on what type of driving you'll be doing with your car. The 235i is going to have superior handling and the best driving feel in my opinion, the 435i will drive smoother with its longer wheelbase and looks better, still handles and drives good too
Honestly that intro is too hard!
Bro pls start posting vids again, miss ur vids so much, so much good info in a perfect amount of time but bro has personality so the info isn’t delivered in an underwhelming way
Watch this with your eyes closed! Sounds like Kermit the frog is reviewing the car lol

Look who switched up
yessir lol
M235i or 135i? 😉
I like your 235i but I know I can make tune my n54 335i coupe to be much faster and handle better than your 235i simply because there is far greater aftermarket support for the n54, and its cheaper to mod! But the 235i might be a better dd
Lool, much faster?
thepodbaydoorshal yup
yea the N54 will always have that high power advantage, but i'm happy with my M235i!
What about the 135i?
great cars as well, especially the LCI models
@@SimplyCarThings ugly ;( but fun
SoppingClam that thing is beautiful, looks better than the 335i
Dude I loved ur channel until u got this m235i. We kno u love it and we kno it’s dope but can we do without the cheesy intro whweee u take the car for a pull and we hear the n55 scream and then we watch your face with that like half ass smile. Great content but dial down the cheese factor
lmaooo i didnt even notice that till you pointed it out LOL this dude snaked me on that m235i tho smh im on to you @simplycarthings
M235i or 335is is my question?
or 135i n55, good question
Literally everything you say in this video is just, MY 235i is better than a 335/435 because I say so.... no hard data at all just quoting some random dyno test. It also looks significantly worse than the 4 series
Chris Ethans wow, someone has taken offense. all it takes is a simple google search to read the data 😂😂😂
@@SimplyCarThings I tried researching these things and all you can find it conflicting reports because its the internet and people talking about something they are emotional about (Their sports car) Which I do respect.
The M235i is rated at 320hp and 332lb/tq vs 300hp and 300tq when compared to the 335i/435i. The curb weight of a lightly optioned M235i is around 3440lbs vs 3635lbs with a 335i/435i. Those points can be fact checked fairly easily. The other points i stated such as chassis feel, and steering you will need to verify yourself by actually driving the cars back to back but I can assure you that the smaller, more nimble 2 series handles better and has a better feel in the canyons than its larger equivalent. There are numerous videos of M235i's running the Nurburgring in sub 7:50 times. The M235i has been tested to run 4.8 seconds 0-60 vs 5.1 seconds with a 435i.

Love my e92s but the rear end on the 235i is great with the exception of the hideous rear end🤮
im not sure if i understand your comment lol
@@SimplyCarThings lol the back of the 2 serious looks horrible. But I still enjoy my e92 for looks and power compared to the newer models.
Nah .. my 2015 228i Grey with M Sports is much better .. more nimble and lighter than the 235 and plugged in a JB tune to 4.5 second 0-60 and saved $20,000 by buying slightly used at $25k
Al Yap the fact you’re trying to compare your 228i to a 3.0 straight six probably one of the best sounding engines ever made is laughable😂 you could get a stage 1 map on the 235 and it’d leaving your car standing
Ben carver .. you have ZERO clue about cars. The 228 is more balamced, and I could smoke you any day any time. You would not hold a candle
Al Yap the fact you’re driving a 2.0 litre proves you know nothing about cars for one, my stage 1 M235 would leave your car standing😂 it pulls on RS5s for fun from 40mph rolling
Stop lying
it's only got 2 doors tho lol
yep, it's a coupe. but from a driving standpoint this car is superior (in my opinion)
@@SimplyCarThings im just buggin haha. i'm a little older than you so 4 doors is more convenient for me. Too bad you didnt opt for the b58 instead. would have enjoyed to watch you review a b58!
I definitely wouldve gone for one if i could afford it! But even then, a used M240i is around the same price as a 2015 M4 so it's an interesting market right now lol
Simply Car Things it's OK. At your age you've had better care than I did lol I'm actually looking to get my first German too. Thinking of another f80 or f30 335i.
The 2 series is a Boy Racer , the Ascetic Design of the 3 series and 4 series looks much better, in my opinion they are much better looking cars overall than the 2 series. The 2 series will not age well, and will look dated in just a couple of years, compared to the 3/ 4 series which are timeless.
335i is twin turbo. And you say tune lol 😂 your funny you had one.
2013+ is single turbo n55
in the f-series they are not twin turbo haha
Auto... yuck
Why not compare it to an M335i or M435i?
Gatling33 never heard of those models 🤔
What? 🤣
Gatling33 lmao
Lmao Those models don’t even exist brotha
For the F30 3 series they call it the 335i M Performance edition. It's basically the 3 series version, but it doesn't place M in front of the number. czcams.com/video/-D_vpnPzGYg/video.html
Ha my 435 is way sexier than m235 or 335
ha ha
