A local guy has a 335i with a tune (on e85) and an intake and he makes 420rwhp.

Bb, is the 335Xi an AWD version?

97, toss that vid up if you have it..
Yep all wheel drive. 1.6s on street tires all day long. He'd be a hand full on the street for just about anybody from a stop light.

Good kill! I've only been up against stock ones which I won rather easily, simply mods and they wake up a ton. I've heard low 12s and 115 traps from tune/intake/dp? cars. Sounds like he had some work done.

WTF? I know nothing about BMW's. Which year 335 had turbos and can hang with a 5.0?

All the 335I have turbos. The older models (07-08) had twin turbos, the newer has a single. 2011 335is has a twin again. Their no match for a 5.0 stock.

What he said^^^

But they wake up majorly with simple mods like tuning. The 135i is another one to look out for. Same set-up, smaller car.

Thanks. I'll be looking for a sedan in the next couple years so I'll keep a modded 335i in my list.

Congrats, nice runs. It's interesting how some cars do so well with tunes and others like the Z cars don't.
