335i Sedan vs A Couple Of Terminators
Getting a kill in my T/A is awesome don't get me wrong, but getting a kill in a quiet, unassuming, and comfortable 4 door is a different type of awesome.

Here is a picture of the coupe in the 60-130 video, that trapped over 132mph.

I wish I knew them, then I could race them in my diesel 335i. Actually it only runs 12.9, but if they don't know how to launch, i might give them a run through most of the qtr mile. (see my 335d video. 4.5 sec 0-60, 12.9, second gear launch also).
As far as this car, I'm upset I haven't run 10's yet. Without LSD, I need a well prepped track, good tires, and good DA. Unfortunately, no track like that within 400 miles of where I live.

That was just one of several runs. On this one, I had the better start, and this was just the one that I happened to catch on video. Being a supercharged V8 with a manual, against a automatic trans on fully automatic shifting, my start is somewhat delayed anyways. I would probably brake boost and manually shift if I were going to let him get the jump.

If you want a good reliable bmw e46 is the only way to go. They break to but its not as expensive. Crank case vent valve fuel pumps,altenators and axles if its an xi is thier only downfall vs the newer issues dme updates software issues trans,head bolts that break for no reason and **** oil. 06 and up bmws suck
What makes this guy so special that no one else can duplicate?

Guys, I had a 07 335i, and had nothing but problems from it...had the HPFP issues and constantly was in limp mode...spent many afternoons rotting away in the lounge at the BMW dealership...I really liked the car, but it was unreliable as crap. If I were buying another one, is any year model better than another for reliability? Any way to minimize getting a lemon the time? I had dual cones on it and was going to go JB3, but it was so unreliable, we just traded it in before warranty was out in an effor to cut our losses. Your right, it handled great, seats were the best I've sat in, quiet, good mpg...but I just couldnt get passed the reliability...then if something did break....the cost to fix it well exceeds a GM product...would have loved to have swapped an LS3 in it (say good bye to being a sleeper), but man what fun that would be to open the cutouts on a cammed ls3 335i at a stoplight.
