Low end can definitely lack, but you keep the revs above 4500 and you'll have a smile on your face. But like it's already been said, keep your eye on the needle. It doesn't always feel like you're going fast, but you are.

I need to get it on the track, no doubt. I know I made the right decision in buying this car, but was also very impressed with a few of the guys I know who have bought 5.0 mustangs. I'm planning on Solo in the near future and am excited to see how much better it performs there.

I'm pretty pleased with the acceleration. Maybe you're looking for something with more of a jet engine acceleration.

Maybe against a stock 335i. Tuned 335i, no way.

obviously stock 335i, its a faster car period but im a good driver and was impressed how i matched up. Personally if wanted to go fast in a straight line i would get a used C6 Vette.

and just like anything with a turbo theres always the question of reliability, personally if i had that car i wouldnt be tuning it that amount without beefing up the internals first otherwise you are just asking for trouble in the long run

Do some basic breather mods and a tune -- there's a lot of low end grunt to be gained.

Compare and contrast.

http://www.the370z.com/members/jordo...ods-w-tune.jpg

That's with a Nismo S-tune axleback (should be comparable to Nismo factory, which can be picked up pretty cheap), K&N panel filters plus Cobb intake tubes, test pipes (or get high flow cats for similar gains), and a tune.

That's it. Factory headers and airboxes.

The tune can also radically improve throttle response.

Seriously, it's got way more potential than you think with a little time and money.

Not as reliable as Japanese but the warranty is second to none. BMWs come with factory warranty which covers turbos, drivetrain, and more up to 4yrs/50k miles or certified pre-owned warranty which also covers turbos and drivetrain 4yrs/100k miles(lasts several years if bought used or renewed after factory warranty expiration). Countless amounts of people are running tunes (up to 80+whp) tunes without issues. Better MPG is a result. Also, there are MAP levels where you can lower the hp thru the steering wheel or iDrive interface. But without warranty, the 335i is just not worth it.

Full bolt on 335i's roughly push 410whp 420ft/lb tq give or take.

The tune is also plug in play and can be taken out in about 15 min. before going to service.
