i got a 335i as a loner when i took my 328 in for service. on paper it looks really nice but after having that one for a few days, i was unimpressed. it never actually gave me that feeling where you get yanked back in your seat like even a stock mustang GT could do. interior is not all that great either compared to mercedes and such.

ive driven my buddy's 135 a few times. weighs less than a 335 and itll put you back in the seat.

if he keeps his software stock our cars feel about even with my tune & magnaflow midpipe; i wouldnt even think of wasting my time if he put his on the lowest power level of his custom tune.

thats a damn good motor bmw puts in there. i wish ford would consider a sequential turbo v6/i6 for our cars.

Ford has the engine...its in the new 2010 SHO..a twin turbo 6 cylinder getting 370 hp I believe.

A simple tune takes those into the 12s..if not deep into the 12s

It's the turbo's man... The freakin' turbo's.

I did get on it later than he did, for sure. But there was just no stopping his pull without some serious power under the hood. But fine, it has been a couple of weeks. I am fine and dandy.
