Default New BMW 335I

Basic onramp race, he came around in 1st and got the hit I reeled him in and pulled 1-2 cars through 3rd and let off. My car is stock vert m6 but I was surprised how well he hung on. bad shift and he would have been next to me. twin turbos on those cars have some potential I would expect.

They're putting down ~375rwhp with intake and a tune. Full bolt-on/tuned cars are pretty insane from what I've seen.

Excellent. They vary depending on mods. I am not sure what % of owners are currently modding, because they are afraid to void the warranty. Max I have seen to date on the dyno is 385 wheel hp, with 405 wheel tq. That's compared to about 270 whp and 270 wtq stock. Mine is at 330whp and 370wtq currently.

In the next few months we should see them hitting 400whp with just bolt on's, Not bad for an I6 3 liter. After that I think some internals will have to be changed to get anymore out of the car.

Good kill.

They are a very nice car but I have a bad taste in my mouth from a race with one on the freeway.

I held him by two cars up to 110 and then let off. We did this from a 50 roll 4 times. I had the fiance with me and he had 3 others in his car. Then he proceeded to have his friends write on a note pad derogatory things about the fiance. I had to grab a handfull of change and motion like I was going to throw it at his car to get him to back off.

I have a 00 Mustang GT M-5 with exhaust, upper intake, springs, pulleys and a tune.

Nice kill. This is good info about these cars. I knew nothing about them until they started popping up in this kill section. I would see the 335I badge on the back and not think much of them being a 3-series, but now I like knowing that they are fast enough to let me know that they were actually racing!

Ripped on one pretty bad in a Trailblazer SS the other day.

I'm sure they mod up nice, especially with bolt-ons, but what turbo car doesn't?
