ummm...yeah...by A LOT.

 

^yeah...the six grand difference can pay for a supercharger and stomp the 335 in all aspects.

 

i am waiting on vortech or stillen to step up on a supercharger...not too big into turbos...esp. in cali.

 

You just want the instant torque to light up your tires off the line...

 

i do that just fine stock...

the FI is for that "OMG I'M GONNA DIE!!!" feeling

 

lol That's very true. or to really know how it felt when the DeLorean would take off in back 2 the future.

Damn this car is a beast, FI will just be a steroid to the vehicle. lol

 

Oh yeah, much faster. The G37 may hit 12 sec flat with the twins. But at the same price ($45K, the owner told me), I've seen this Honda Civic from CarBoy hit 8.xx second.
Just have to accept the fact that the G37, in general, is slower than the 335i, regardless.

Either way the 335i will win anyway so it doesn't matter. The 335i 6AT is no slouch... I drove it.

 

i think car and driver got 4.9 on the 0-60 on the 335i's 6AT.

it's kinda funny that BMW was all about N/A engines for the last 25 years pushing the 'purist' aspect of it. while nissans has had numerous cars with turbos especially GT-Rs, 300Zxs, etc. now with the 335i and G37 we get a "switcheroo"...the BMW is the faster at the 1/4 mile and from the dig while the G37S handles better on the track...lol. how did that happen?? lol

I be honest, just a few 10th of a second does NOT mean crap on the street race. OOpps, I'm not suppose to promote or incure any street races here... but you got my point. Using the marriage concept, get the car you can afford, one of your taste, and one that you are in love with.

 

more importantly normal street driving. 3/10ths pf a second will not impact your everyday daily driving.

 

lol, I was not going to reply however, my friend just bought a 335i coupe auto with the same options I opted for when I was going to buy one. I wouldn't call this a street race but, we had a friendly match up and let's just say that even a light to light run, they are faster no matter how you look at it. We only did it once but, it's funny how the torque in that car automatically has them pull hard right off the line to like a car length.

Does this make me hate my car or want me to buy more mods? NO. I still love my car and my friend respects mine.

I just thought I would share the few 10ths of a second story and how it DOES make a different on the street. At least comparing these two cars.

A nice ECU upgrade (A/F mapping + timing advance) and some spacers should put us on par with a stock 335i. At the moment I could careless.

 

^^ I think what he means is the difference in power is not enough to impact the enjoyment of normal driving on a back country road for example. Yeah 3 10ths is about 3 cars lengths in a 1/4 mile, so its a pretty good gap in any race.......

 

so how bad did you get killed? lol. j/k

+1 on your comments. the 335i is just the faster car in a straight line. i bought the G37S because i felt it was the best car for me and it was the most fun to drive. anyone can be faster....it's if you bought the car that fulfills your needs. and the G37S is a blast! great power, great handling, great amenities...
