my friend just got a 2008 bmw 335 coupe manual,so we raced lol. and we raced 3 times, and all 3 times up to 70mph we were dead even then i started pulling away from him and in the end i was winning by about half a car
short story for you guys

and oh yeah, can someone explain to me any problems removing a resonator might give you other than loud sound?? such as will it effect smog emmisions? or anything of that matter?

 

That's good to hear. Is your SRT stock?

No it will not affect your emissions.

 

yeah my srt6 is comletely stock

 

Wow, those 335's are that quick!?!?! I would think you would own it the whole race.......

 

That sounds about right C/D has them at 13.6 @ 105 and 0-60 at 4.9. Take that resonator off and get an intake and tune and you should have him by a second. Be safe

 

I just looked at the power and weight of the 335. 300hp with 300tq in a 3571(heavy) pound car. How can they pull sub 5's in the 0-60??! Gearing?? Even if it was gearing, I wouldn't think they could trap 105mph. That is a pretty high mph considering a stock 5.7l(manual) goat(350hp) traps around that.


We have(what we think is the same motor that is in the SLK32) 349hp with 310tq and nearly 200 pounds lighter.

I don't really get it.

Can someone explain??

 

This should explain:

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/22/b...-dyno-numbers/

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/22/b...ers-round-two/

"Three runs yielded an average of 285 RWHP, with the other two varying from that by a maximum of three HP"

Judging by those dyno numbers, the car is equally as strong as an SRT-6.

Depending on the turbo setup, the car may also get a better 0-60 due to traction. We spin right off the line...it may be easier to get off the line with the Bimmer and turbo lag. Is it a manual also?

I like the cars, they are slick looking for a BMW...the new M3 is nice too.

I do like them as well. Pretty impressive!

 

From what I read on the 335's engine, it is underrated. Theres no way that car is 300hp and dynoing at 285-290's (I've seen another dyno in the 290's) stock.

 

Wait till the 135i comes out. It will be modded quickly by consumers. With exhaust and chip and upped boost they will turn out 385hp on the stock turbos. i almost bought one when i decidede on the srt6 instead.

thats why i need MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

I read that the 135 will only be 154 lbs less wegiht. I was suprised at that. I could lose 50 lbs and take out the flat tire kit out of the trunk and the passenger seat and lose that much weight

 

yeah the 335has good traction so for the beggining ofthe race it was dead even but at highspeed the crossfire is a monster with the supercharger really kicking in, especially when the weather is cold out

 

Yes, having driven several 335 bimmers, they are very quick. I will be the first to agree when someone says they are underrated. As mentioned earlier, the 135 is going to be an insane amount of fun.

 

A good point...but i was referring to the age group of the 135i buyers seems to be the younger "tuner crowd" that will be quick to blow their tax returns on mods.

Im guessing we will see more modded 135i's than 335i's in the long run.

Nevertheless, the srt6 will be right there to own them

 

Is the 135 the one with the hatch-back looking appearance? More bubbly and smaller? If so, I wasn't too fond of the looks...but can definitely see it as more of a tuner car.

Yea they make the 1 series in an actual hatch but not the 135 with the tt motor, but it is more squished/bubbly looking than say the 335...just because its shorter. For more info on the enemy visit www.1addicts.com

 

BMW 135:

 

That doesn't look so bad...but I bet it will cost significantly more than we are paying for our SRT's.

 

Looks like they chopped of the trunk, kinda like a xf.

 

That thing is going to be a beast. Wonder what the pricing will be like.
