Z than a 135 but hey now we get to find out in time don't we . Nonetheless bmw does have a certain level of luxury that the Z lacks. I hope you won't turn your back on us Z guys now that you got the 135.
my 335 ran a 13.1 stock and after spending $1000 on jb4, intake, downpipes.. I ran a 12.2.... then put on some drag radials and I ran a 11.9

video? a coworker of mine is running the same setup and claims his best was a 12.9, granted I dont know how good of a driver he is, but DR's will not drop a second off your time. I also dont see you picking up 1.2 seconds w/o upping the boost pressure ala tune.

Jaxx must have been running race gas, and probably a different map.

I thought your co worker had just an exhaust and vishnu tune....

theres an M3, 1 135i and 2 335's, they're apparently popular in Germany. Go figure. Also, no one is running a vishnu tune/exhaust, that was just something that Winn pointed out.

ah i just re read what you wrote. the guy pointed out that an exhaust/tune barely nets you 400whp. Well actually it'd probably net you at most 330-340 whp, thats being generous. The exhausts don't do **** on this car.
