having driven the 335i at streets of willow...the 335i has the edge in a straight line. it just delivers more torque through a wider band. end of story...having said that, the G37 is more fun to drive. there is something about being able to stay in the red and wind up an engine that seems more involving that a fat power band assisted by 2 snails. at redline the 335i still picks up, but it's without drama.
fyi-i only got to take the 335i for a few laps until it went to limp mode. it was my friend's car and he never got to drive it. we had to tow her to a dealership.....$230 track day / limp mode after 30 min of track time = pwnage...lol.

it was a 6sp MT with the sport package.....it had the oil cooler. the 335i goes into limp even with oil coolers but not all, it's very strange...there are guys who track their cars and find no problems...then there are guys who just use it to commute and they go limp...quite a few instances of this in the bimmer /e90 forums. i can't make heads or tails of it. it may just be an ecu program that needs a re-flash update?
335 from a dig wil beat us stock for stock.. The 335 also adjusts it's boost timing (or something like that) for altitude. So the higher the altitude the more the 335 should have an advantage.
From a roll under the best conditions it's a drivers race and depending on the gear the G might pull.

My understanding is that originally only the sport package had the oil cooler but now they all do. My BMW service advisor also told me they have a TSB out for the high pressure fuel pump because a lot of them are failing.

before going for my G37, i dropped by the BMW dealer... saw a very nice what i thought to be a 335 in red and had it not been for the single odd looking exhaust tip i wouldve never been able to tell its a 320!! costed around half the price of the 335 and theyre all over the place here...dont turn as many heads no more. However a G is a G37..not a G20 not a G25 not a G-lookin half the price G... check me out makin necks do 360's haha
