Good point. The discussion is on the 335, but the 135 and 535 have pretty much the same performance. 0.2 seconds slower on the 535 due to the additional 40 kg curb weight, and a little faster on the 135 for the same reason. 0.2 seconds faster on the manual over the auto, so my 535 should be a match for an auto 335, if one wants to believe BMW performance figures.

Watch out for that sleeper _35i that is modified as much as SANguru's or you might be posting a just got killed thread too.

your x...15.0 quarter mile... her 335....13.5 quarter mile....even a 4.8 x5 is 14.5 quarter mile

I really don't get why people like the 335 so much. Friend of mine has it and it feels like a big luxury cruiser to me. for all its hyped up stats it still doesn't feel anywhere as good as the race bred e46 M3.

yeah, i like the e46 M3 more too...

but the performance of a 335i is great.

We have a turnpike that usually has 4 or more toll booths per pay station and about 1/4 mile after exiting, they merge into 2 or 3 lanes depending on where you are at with a 75 mph speed limit. Sometimes I happen to be late for work or taking advantage of a full lunch hour so coming out of the toll booths I sometimes driving like... well like I am late. It just so happens that I have some co workers that must also be late or in the same situation as often as I am and don't want to be late for work either. One drives a 2003 350Z automatic, another drives a 2005 Mustang GT automatic, and another use to drive a 2003 Evo 8 but now drives a 2004 TL 6MT. Now there are times when some of us happen drop our 2 quarters at the toll and get the green light to exit the toll booths at the same time. All I have to say is that my co worker that use to drive the evo, had less time to get to work than me because he disappears before I hit 60mph, but now that he drives a TL he has exactly the same amount of time to get to work as my co worker who drives the Mustang GT which is less than the time it takes me in my 2004 X5 4.8is to travel a cars length by the time I reach the posted speed limit. But my co worker in the 350Z must have at least twice that time extra than us to get to work. Either that or he has no work ethic!

HeHeHe......that was good!

it's great... for a straight line.

I had an E46 M3 and would rather have that than a 335i.

Catch a 335 from a roll on the highway. I know a 4.8 can def keep up if not beat one from a roll. TT LAG FTL! Lets not forget the weight difference between the 335i and the 335Xi.
