Haha, I did, the 20 seconds was for him to get to me at the next stop so I could ask him why his 335 was so slow and yeah about the exhaust tips it was harder to notice really cause he had after market exhausts in.

today i raced a 335i 3 times...
that thing is a monster , i just dont understand how it is that quick with 300 hp :S!?
it was a 40 km/h rolling race , yeah i managed to keep him until 120 km/h , but after that he just keeps going far far away :/
i got raped!!

can somebody explain why a 300 hp car can rape a 330 hp car like that ????

1) weight difference
2) higher torque on the 335i coz of the TT

Was playing around with a 335 w/ Aero Package Kit last night ( I believe it's the ZHP 335i), anyways he gunned it a good 1-2 seconds before me, and I slowly passed him once I hit 50 MPG and he was way behind me at 80-90 MPG

BMW underrated the 335i. It has been dyno'ed stock at 320Hp. It's max torque is also higher at 300lb-ft from a low 1,400 RPM all the way to 5000 RPM.

was he slowing down? he got a 1-2 second jump and you crawled back??...i dunno about that...

jambi

I don't buy it either... not saying it didn't happen but he must have slowed down. The 335i is just faster than the G stock for stock... we don't have to like it but it's true. The G is better overall though so who cares about 0.4 seconds ??

jambi

335i can reach 200 k/h in 18.5 seconds the G in 20.
thats 1.5 seconds

I went to the track with my buddy on Thursday night, we both brought our new cars that night, I have a G37 auto with fujita intake and Greddy Ti c. his was bone stock but he opened up his 2nd valve on his stock exhaust and his is an automatic also. I did a 14.02 and he did a 13.85, about the same. Seriously, I dont know why everyone compares the 335 with the G37, We are in a different price category and its not even a fair comparision if you ask me. For the same price as a model with the same option, you can only get a 328. Try finding a 335 with navi and sport and premium package for $40k, not happening, they hit near $50k and still dont have a back up camera and not to mention that they dont even have a touch screen option. Stop comparing the G37 with a 335, why stop there, might as well compare it with a M3.......

My 335i had the juicebox mod. I was raping everything in sight. There was a carrera turbo (I don't know my porsche's, I just know it was a carrera, and it said Turbo in the back) that every gear would pull 1-2 cars. Speed, yeah it was a beast.

Cause BWM is lying about horsepower.

the car has 350 at the crank stock.

2nd the car has more torque, especially down low.

You need a few bolt ons to even things out.

I totally agree. I always felt the G really compares to the 328. I don't see the whole "335i vs G37" thing.

My friend have a 2008 335i. it only has around 3000 miles. We got into a little contest with a white G37 and it was pretty even. From around 40 to all the way to 130.
He was in front of us like 1 car length and he hits the gas first, as soon as we heard his exhaust, my friend floored, and all the time race stayed equal. No 1 gained
