Compound that with the fact that my evo has the C/D of a ping-pong table, and it all comes together.
No big surprise there. Much bigger engine, up there compression, and two smallish turbos for response. The only part that seems unappealing was the lack of traction, according to Shiv's comment.

That's what landed me a broken arm a year and a half ago.

Wait, am I reading this right? 348 torque to rears? No freaking way ?!?!?!?! BMW has hit a home run with this. Shiv, does BMW know the kind of testing and tune your doing to the car, or have the contacted you before you did this? I wonder what the tuners in europe have been doing with this car. Congrats on the dyno numbers, I would like to see what she would do at the track, because from a roll... she would rip. The 335i reminds me heavly of the supra... a modern day supra.

This car fits my slow driving style perfectly. In daily driving, I drive like a grandpa. I shift @ 3000-3500 rpm almost all the time. The flat meaty torque curve in the 2-4k region is perfect for my driving style. There is almost no turbo lag in this car. This is amazing.

Somebody might want to hit this quick, call the dealer to make sure it's legit first, since they have no feedback. BMW dealer in IA has a jet black 335 Coupe with a buy it now only $275 OVER INVOICE.

Caveat Emptor, ebay has been horrible with scams lately, but the price is amazing.

Shiv, is there any sort of super sensitive knock sensor you can hook up? It's amazing how lean they can run it from the factory... I can only guess that the DI makes it possible.

Shiv I am just wondering and I am not sure if somebody has already asked this, but why are you tuning and getting dyno numbers from a dyno jet and not your DD dyno? It would be easier to compare to other cars you've done such as EVOs. You've done RWD vehicles on your dyno before, why not this one?
