but, call me bias haha

Blow the doors off huh? so you're telling me they've cracked 11's with a tune eh? lol.

As far as room is concerned, if your wife is a small woman, a little one (5-8 years old) would be ok, but the back seat is pretty cramped. The Stang will be cheaper to mod and maintain, but for a family, I definitely would pick something else.

Guess he doesn't know what cai and tune does for the 5.0, cause no 335is with just a tune will blow any 5.0 out of the waters.

Sure, it'll blow the doors off an M3 and a Stang.

But it'll also blow its own motor in the process with all that boost.

Regardless, I'd pick the BMW for its sophistication, better road manners, balance, interior, and (objectively) better looks.

I'm not going to argue. But you might want to do your hw. People have had these tunes for over 60,000 miles sometimes. And the boost isn't that high. All their engines are fine.
