I was really surprised that my Z with just Stillen sway bars and some exhaust work was able to keep up in the turns because his tail was getting happy while I was just tracking perfectly through the turns matching his speed. On the straights, he annihilated me but no as bad as I initially would have thought.

The big weight is the achilles heel of those cars, but there is no denying how well rounded they are.

One of our customers had one and it blew 6 turbos(3 sets) LOL. His 500+hp g35 we built never had any problems compared to the Bimmer.

A friend of mine has a 335i and he likes guys. Not sure how that applies. Just sayin'.

That is why I did not even consider them, there are so many around Socal it is unbelievable. Even though they are everywhere, it is very rare to find one so heavily and tastefully modified which makes my friend's one more unique in my eyes.

ran against friends 335 (which used to be mine) with jucebox 3 on map 3 and exhaust and it was dead even 40-120 but i did edge out after 110 or so. I was pretty surprised from the results. We did it twice just to make sure and same exact result.

Keep in mind this was ~600-700 above see level. Anything at higher altitude he would edge me out because NA loses power from higher elevation and turbo cars dont. Not sure if nismo had anything to do with the result or not....

Jeez this topic has been discussed ad nauseum already. I'll add my two cents. I've run 4 of these cars, 2 times being at 2am on the highway for a good 10-15 miles. They are unimpressive and have durability issues, one guy was burning oil after driving hard for a good 12 minutes on the highway at the cost of still being unable to catch me.

They are BMW muscle cars and are overrated especially by those who run them. I haven't met one that has got me yet and I'm pretty confident that when it happens it'll be because he spent 3x what I've spent.

With a tune and exhaust the cars put almost 400 to the wheels




My dad has a 328. I think its a beautiful car. not the fastest thing in the world by any means. but i do have respect for all cars. Ive driven a lot of really fast and exspensive cars. Benz C63 AMG Black series(full exhaust, headers and a tune, ~580hp not wheel), Benz C63 AMG (exhaust and tuned ~480hp), 911 turbo tuned, M3's, Lambo LP560 (just exhaust). just to name a few. lol yes most are over priced i totally agree but there is no other feeling like siting behind the wheel of a lambo or a redic benz or any other redic car. and the build quality is by far better than any chevy, ford etc.

I think the 410WHP might have something to do with that :eekdance:

Yeah..320 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque available from a mere 1,200 rpm, all the way up to 5,000 rpm and run low 12s with just a tune is overrated.:ugh2:

LOL... 320 hp running low 12s? Where did you get that from.... last i checked the 335 weighs 3600lb not 2600. :hello:

Road and track tested the 335 at 13.3 in the qaurter.

Secondaly I've never had issues with the car overheating on either car *I'll swap my JB3 over to wifey's car when I don't feel like shifthing*. When running it hard oil temps will get to 250 but that is normal. Now what I do experience is heatsoak which hurts power output due to the smallish intercooler. Some people do run aftermarket OC's but they still experience high oil temps when doing track events *not drag racing*.

You can call 250 normal, but 250F is well beyond initial thermal breakdown. So IMO you do have overheating issues.
