GT Premi

[/align][/align]I don't know. For their size, those are some HEAVY little cars. Almost 3700 pounds. I think it would be an extremely close race on the freeway. More than likely it would be a deadlock. Whomever gets the jump, wins. I wouldn't mind running against one on the road. It'd be fun. If I lost, at least it would be to a worthy adversary.[/align]

stokc vs stock is completly on the drivers, and you guys are right, the way the bimmer drives is completly different to the way a mustang drives, the bimmer is so quiet and smooth but the mustang is noise and rought, even tought 05+ have the best rides of all stangs, the 335i is heavy, but the wait distribution is 50/50 and the suspension is finely tuned for performance and comffort at the same time.
one thing you would see if you have the oportunity to race one from a stop is that you would jump on him hard and get lilke a car leght but, not for so long. after that it would keep with you no matter what. also either the stickshift or the automatic tranny in those cars are nice, the automatic can be driven in a triptronic mode or a sportmode which is completly ameizing. the car would keep the car in the gear u get the most power of depending on the speed ur driving, shifting is also quicker and firm. i belive the car is worth the money and is one of the few i think that combines performance, luxury and A NICE PRICE

well i don't know much about bmw, but i raced a rich kid in a330i. about 70mph roll, i left him like about 1/8 of a mile, i went the full 140 mph on the gauge, then i went down to 65. in about 10-15 sec he catch up and wanted to go again, so i let him about 1 car head start not even like that he could beat me, i left him for about 10 cars and i decided he was not worth the ticket so i stoped racing

lol, ticket? try jail...

Its funny though i let my friend drive my stang (w/ out me..long story) and he passed an under cover while doing 110. the cop let him go... the cop said he was doing 80. but we both know he knew that wasnt true.

The question still is the following:

Would you want to own one?????

Ifsomething that looked like acamerywas 500hp, ran to 60 in 4 flat, quarter in 12.5, etc, etc. I still would not wantit.

I looked at the 335i, they are nice, but just wierdly executed or something. Shaped wrong, de-germanized almost. Like BMW has gone the way oflexus and infinity.They are trying to make the car appeal to everyone it seems.

Likealot of you I am sure, trading the mustang for one would not be a horriblydifficult task. It just doesent do much for me and I wonder if I am going to love the new M3 as I did the E46 when I first saw it.Chris Bangle really doesent thrill me with the styling he has going on at BMW.

I agree as well. IMO BMWs primary competition is Audi and Mercedes. Hell if you look at the offerings of all three of thosecompanies you see that they allhave a nearly parallel car line up. Especially as far as sedans go.

[/align][/align]Actually, the 335i with Sport Package isn't all that quiet or comfortable. A stock 05+ actually rides better than a 335i with Sport Package. You don't get as much engine sounds coming in on the 335i, though.[/align]

Maybe with a tune. I barely got 106 with the mods listed below. Plus i'm only 300 ft above sea level. It was 80 degrees though.

The 335 is no joke. If you ever get a chance to look at the latest copy of European tuner, they have a 335 with only a 'chip' vs. a vorteched M3. They have a picture of the dyno graphs and the 335 looks like it has a V8 under the hood. With just a ECM upgrade the car put down 326 whp and 347 wtq. The s/c M3 looks like the typical centri blower set up, 295 wtq and about 405 whp at about 8K.

Put a chip in the BMW and add some rubber and stiffen it up with better springs and that car will kill a similarly modded (CAI, tune, springs, tire) stang on the road course and run away in the straights. The 335 has already been deamed the european version of the supra, so it is only a matter of time before that thing is putting up some serious power.
