Yes, you are right, the 480lb/tq is perhaps a spike however the healthy mid 400lb-tq is achiavable with proper tuning. This car is in such development stage that it is too early to say that these are final numbers.

I think he(the owner of the car) mentioned that he will be doing another dyno just on 91oct. The main thing is that the piggyback doesn't have full race map developed yet. People are just basically putting some race fuel but the maps are still in development.

As you know they just released free flowing downpipes and the tiny turbos are free flowing/spiking to 20psi(stock is 8.5psi).

The guy that owns the car is as far as I know the one that has the most mods(only 3 or 4 mods), I am confident that Vishnu will release a race map for catless downpipes and along with the previous mods we will see another 20-30-40whp and another 20-30-40lb-tq (my guess)

And a $130k Porsche Turbo only runs a 12 second quarter mile.

50K? uhmm invoice of a 335i sedan is 35.7k? you can also get 9% off of that from the European delivery like many people did.

There are many Ferraris, Porsches, Audis, mercedes that cost much more and run slower but yeah, I forgot the pattern, when you think Evo you have to associate it with 1/4 mile right? nothing else matters (gas mileage,warranty,equipment,etc )

What you don't take into consideration is that there are people that never mods their cars, wether is a Evo or a BMW.

I agree, the turbos are sort of weak.. I expect a lot of fluctuations on them...

Are people getting close to invoice? A friend is currently shopping for a 335i coupe but hasn't been able to even come close to that.

Please PM me with details, thanks!

Yeah, the coupe is about 2k more expensive. It depends on the dealer. One thing I do know is that BMW over exceded the sales on the 335i, the demand is far beyond what they planned and the production is at it max. The demand on the 135i is absurdly high already as well.

The European delivery is a given fact, you will get that 100% if you requested it and that means 9% off. The MSRP and invoice is negotiable but it depends on the dealer.

The absolute deal is to order while deployed in the military, or being stationed overseas as a dod civilian. Evofunk(from this forum) will acquire a 335i for about $9000 less.

I test drove a 335i sedan with the sport package option which included everything but navigation. The MSRP on that particular model was 45K and some change. The one coupe they had on the show room floor was stickered just over 49k without navigation which is another two grand or so. Those cars are nice and all but I actually liked the new G35 and CTS better. You get more options for your money with those two, especially with the new G35 but to each his own I always say
