He must not have had fully charged batteries, or just doesn't know how to drive the damn thing...

Maybe he spun his tires or missed a gear?

Depends on how you have kept your 4.8is. . A stock 335 can be beaten by a 'well maintained' 4.8is. Ask me how I know. And I have both engines in my garage.

For the OP: Don't try to race a current or previous gen Acura TL as well. Search forum...someone got smoked there. And NEVER race if you have people in car.

Was it Paul Blart?

Maybe he had the infamous "boost leak"

What do you mean by "well maintained".

You just have to explain now. I am intrigued.

I am just amazed at how many people here are totally ignorant about the 335i....There is no chance for any X5 to even keep up with a stock 335i , Once modded its a beast . How do i know ? I had a fast 335i ..12.1 @ 116 , all with Procede , FMIC , DPs that's it. At that time it would run dead even with my stock 911 turbo until 100.

Most 335i are modded ...some are already in the 11.7 @120 range.

alot of people bimmer drivers tend to hve that extra ego about the capability of their ride. I saw a 4.8is try to take on a SRT8 Jeep. LOL no chance... yea the jeep may not be great on turns and such... but off the line? i wouldn't bother... the 4.8is totally got smoked off the line..

Know your competiton! Know your BMW's. Do all this BEFORE you race and your chance of complete embarassment will be minimal.
