And no I didnd't say I average 36 MPG all the time. I can get 35 MPG tho on a long trip, with no traffic and moving along at 65-70 MPH tho. That however is not how EPA test highway mpg
How do you like the jb4 over the jb3? I just switch over to the Cobb flash, but I'm also going to upgrade my jb3 and see which I like better. I'll eventually get my car dyno tuned once Cobb releases the pro tuner software.

I think I can get a bit better, my right bank o2 still isn't hooked up, and my lockup isn't coming on, I bet thats worth 1-2. Plus my ram is faster, and thats worth the 10-14 less mpgs from your setup. If I don't have gas money, I'll just ride my gsxr-600, that gets about 44 mpgs and runs 10's

The guy asked for it. The Ram certainly isn't faster than tune/bolt-on 335, but that's ok.

I don't know if he saw what the guy drove, but oh well. The Camaro can cover for that, and I bet the Ram isn't too far off. It's basically like modding a TBSS without the LS2.

If he can drive, mid-low 12s on a street tire.

With his mods he would be sitting around 400whp and 420ft/tq give or take. Plus those turbos spool insanely quick.

His 60-120 time is damn close to mine when my Talon was at 370awhp. I'm lighter but had much less tq at that boost level.

Respectable 335i, no doubt.

New body style just does it more for me, but that one is still damn sexy.

Yup, but there is a pretty defined ceiling of 450whp that you hit with the 335i's. There are a couple single turbo conversions being developed, but even then there is fueling issues. It's pretty easy to get to 400-450whp with bolt ons, tune and meth, but past that there is not too much else you can do. At least not yet.

I'm not a fan of the front bumper of the sedan I posted, I have the bumper below, I have the same M3 sideskirts tho, and the same Vanguard exhaust. I put in a order for the same trunk, and have a new lip coming soon too.

Here is my bumper:



And I have this lip on order:



Anyway, sorry for the thread jacking!
