BMW 335I making extra 100whp/126lbtq with a tune

It is become more and more the center of attention. The N54 engine is putting sick numbers with silly mods. I see more and more Evo owners changing from Evo to BMW 335i, this is indeed a great alternative without sacrificing performance.

An Evo is an Evo and it will always be the king on handling but if you want comfort and going also fast the 335i and future 135i are yourchoice cars.

I posted the videos before guys, someone ran a 12.5@109 on 91oct with a flash and a set of 265's in the back(stockers were 255s). That 12.5 run was with a 267lbs driver and with an auto transmission and to make matters more difficult, remember that this car does not even have a rear LSD.. This car sounds very promising.

I am feeling the BMW vibe. It is indeed a great option for a car that gets luxury and performance for a reasonable price. For that type of power you need to drop another $15000-$20000 to match the same performance of a competitor European car.

No , seriously. I am happy if you are happy. If the Evo becomes a car which you no longer desire to keep then I am just saying look at the 335I. It is worth looking at them.

I was sold when I went for a test drive.

Its really funny Im reading this thread right now. I guy in a 335 was trying to race me 2-3 times in a couple mile strech about half an hour ago. I didnt bite cause I just saw 2 duputies up the road earlier in the evening. He took off and I just causuallu left the light and made just a lil boost in 4th to get up to speed. I wish I would have a chance to see the car at the strip.

Carlos, you forgot to say that this is the world's fastest 335i. While 335s are putting some crazy numbers on the dyno, they have been somewhat dissapointing at the track, including 335's with the Procede kit (320-340 whp), which are strugglin to break into 13's or get higher trap speeds than 107-108mph. I will like to see how v2.0 translates into the track with the extra 45whp and 20lb/ft. 375whp and 405lb/tq should pull some outstanding numbers at the quarter.

Awesome car anyways. I would trade my Evo for a 335 in a heartbeat, but my next car will be a 08 C6.
