accidentally ended up racing this guy...i was driving fairly aggressively and right around 20 mph the 335i who was a little behind me, about half a car length punched it. I did too, almost at the same time. I have a JLT CAI with a brenspeed 93 tune...so I thought I would probably be faster. But surprisingly the 335i was right there with me the whole time and I started pulling at around 85 mph but then we shut it off a little after i started pulling on him.

it was about 100 degrees out and my filter's a little dirty so I'm sure I wasn't as fast as I will be when the temp. cools down.

i was surprised at how fast the 335i was - I'm assuming it was stock (but i could be wrong). anyone else raced them?

I don't know much about BMWs, but if I'm not mistaken, the 335i has a twin turbo inline 6 engine.

This link is to Car and Driver, it's the specs for a 2008 BMW 335i.

335i's ain't no slouch. I am surprised you didn't pull on them earlier though since it should've been heavier than your ride by a good margin. Never know what he might have done with the engine either though

The N54 335i has a TT inline 6 and the latest N55 has a single turbo. They're pretty damn quick.

A new 335i weighs in at 3560 lbs. A stock 05 GT is 3450. Pretty close in weight. The thing with the 335i is that it's just a tune away from massive power.

yeah - a 335i with a tune makes it a beast. I am not surprised even a stock one could roll with you, though.

those 100 degree temps hurts his turbo system pretty badly.

Our modded 335i could keep up with our 500whp Saleen pretty well. Some have those N54 motors cranked up to 650whp with a Vishnu single turbo kit. Beware when you see the badge. Even stock they're torque monsters.

Those 335I Bimmers are undertuned so they didn't get too close to the E90/E92 M3s power figures. Stock E90 335I vs. S197 4.6 should be a pretty close race, with maybe the slight edge going to the Bimmer.

The next F30 M3 will infact no longer be a naturally aspirated V8, but a Turbo I6.

Hmm that's a surprise actually, I would've thought they would be heavier. Usually luxury rides tend to have plenty of power but aren't always the lowest on times because they pack in the weight. Good to know
