stock 335i doing 11's? coughs...bullshyt...

rated at a 13.5, with some hitting 13.4, Z's stock are doing 13.2's all day. The Z is the faster car, sorry to crush your dreams fellas.

oh and BTW, I shat upon one at the drags this past sunday, will post vid/pics in the media section.

Also if i may add, BMW is not the luxury car of yesteryear anymore, your average every day joe schmoe college kid can afford one nowadays, especially since BMW lowered pricing on the majority of their models to compensate for the struggling german/american economy. Nice cars though they are, they just arent what they used to be anymore.

And if i may add something else.. the Vishnu program instantly voids your warranty, the stock ECU senses when its tampered with and will happily rat you out at your next service. So go ahead, void your warranty, and good luck with maintenence and upkeep.

I've run 13.1 stock w/ the excellent RFT's at the HRP track. It's not impossible, but i digress.. caranddriver is the end all be all.

And of course the 11.3 second pass was not a stock car. I posted the quickest 370z pass to date, which is 12.8 (and also not stock).

The 11.7 (former record) was run tune only by a 335i. $500~ mod.

I like when this topic comes up. Vishnu is one of many tuning companies by the way (and not the largest).

Nothing instantly voids a warranty.

The ECU has no idea (when shut down properly) that anything has been done to it. Are you talking about flashes? Which is becoming more popular in the e92 community now.

I'm at 30,000 miles without a single maintenance issue.


I'm not trying to argue, but to dispell the common bs/myths that regard these cars in general. As seen, I dealt with nicknick earlier.

Care to provide a timeslip/video of your run? I have a hard time believing that you are producing the same time some JB3's owners are pulling especially with stock RFT's. Back when I was researching 335i's capabilities there were only a handful (literally less than 5) that were in the lower 13's stock.

Also the run by Hotrod was on 17's drag radials. It isn't as simple as slapping a $500 mod and running high 11's like how you make it seem.
