Great vids, it looks like the gears really help you out in those runs. My manager at work just bought an 07 335i. The interior on that car is second to none in it's price range.

Yeah, the gears are my savior against that car.......

The 335i is a great car and an excellent platform to modify........

Simple tune and exhaust and they put down 360whp......tune with 101 trick gas and they put down 400whp...

Good ****!!

side note- Not that i'm a BMW fan but the 135i thats coming out looks promising. Same engine, same trans, 2 less doors, and a few hundred lbs. less. It's about damned time all the manufacturers jump in the speed game.

Yeah, the 135i is a very anticipated car......
Should be a great performer......with a tune and some other goodies
The 335i comes in a 2 door version as well.....

The 135i will weigh 200lbs less than the 335i 2 door......but you're still lookin at a 3300lb car with 300bhp and 300btq that costs $35k for the base model..........If you bought one fully loaded it would run you just over $50k

I just optioned out a 335i like the one I raced on msnautos.com

With all the options this one had it would have been in the $52k-$55k range

Yeah, LSx powered cars are no joke........Best bang for the buck out there.

Terminator Cobras are a close second........Not quite as cheap to pick up as clean LS1 Firebirds and Camaros.....

The new 350Z isn't a bad performer either in stock form........
