Evo to 335i

Well after the insurance reported my evo totaled in december after only having it for 3 months.. I went on the hunt for a new car and finaly yesterday I placed an order for the new bmw 335i coupe. I got alpine white with beige interior gray poplar wood w/ sport package 6MT. I test drove it and i have to admit it doesnt have the kick like the evo did but its still realy fast, and its a bmw, 60 would come up realy fast. Car and driver tested the 0 to 60 on a automatic 335i @ 4.8. Now i have to wait 8 weeks for my car to come.... Hopefuly in the future i can do the tune from vishnu or maybe Dinan would have a tune out so it could still be warrentied.

How much was yours OTD, if you don't mind me asking. I might be getting one too.

They're pretty quick. I ran into one this weekend. I have the K&N, eflash, MBC, and I couldn't pull away from him on the fwy. ~30-120, right on me ****. If I was stock, he wouldn't taken me.

Thats a sick car man. Enjoy. If I didn't own an evo that would be right there on the top of my list of cars to get.

The 335 is awsome! I test drove it a few weeks a go and it is quick for a stock car. When you get it give vishnu a call! The latest Xede dynos show 355hp and 405 torque at the wheels with a cat back

They can't even tune an Evo right, I wouldn't trust them with a 335i.

The method of cranking the boost way past safe on cali gas and making it run extremely rich so it doesn't blow is not a very effective method.

I'm jealous of the hookup. Configured the way I want, it comes out to $51k before taxes. I almost bought one before I got my Evo. It was just too quiet and w/o feel, it felt like you were driving the car remotely.

Ya like JayJay mentioned, on 93 octane w/just a catback and XEDE they made 355whp and 405lb-ft torque!

My friend ordered a 335i sedan a few weeks ago, should be pickin his up next week. Lol he's already got a catback n xede ordered I think hehe..

Well i might get the Xede or i might wait for Dinan to bring out their tune because everything dinan does is still under warrenty. I can get turbos or superchargers from dinan and still be in warrenty.. thats the only tuner bmw fully warrenties. Im still looking for which exhaust i want, the problem is i cant find any sound clips anywhere. Ive heard AC Schnitzer on a M6 and Hamann on a M5 and they both sound sick. i just need to find them on a 335i. The only one ive heard it Agency and i dont like it that much. Ill realy start looking once my car gets here around March.

WTF? That's a pretty ignorant statement.

To the OP:

You'll love the 335i. I recently got a 335i sedan and love it. I enjoy driving it as much or more than my Evo lately.
