I think a 335i over at Irwindale was getting 7.0s. Nothing to sneeze at.

I think it was 7.0s and 7.1s and 90 MPH. I could be wrong though. It was faster than the other 335is that were out as there were several.

It was a couple of months ago. I had to see what it was becuase it was so fast and didn't look like anything as it went by. It is a bit louder than all the other ones too. I never thought BMWs were all that until I saw this one.

It was black. All the ones I see out there have been black though. I think it had DRs and it was louder than the stock ones.

It had stock body work and I think it was a 4 door. I wouldn't be suprised if it was sprayed.

I wouldn't have even given the car a second look but when the time/speed flashed I was like WTF!

Maybe. It didn't have side skirts or any spoiler though. Gummy rear tires, not the rubber band lo-pros they usually run.
