Isn't this the "General BMW news and CARS discussion forum"?
The news of the BMW 335i making 437 rwhp and 447 rwtq is not only BMW news but also discussion of other cars.
I posted this a few days ago in this forum thread, so why did it apparently get deleted from this forum?
In any case a JB3 tuned 335i on 100 Octane with just catless DP's and DCI made those numbers. No meth, no nos, and on stock exhaust with 2nd cats still in.
Also on the stock tiny turbos with a peak of 18.6 psi.
This is exciting news for BMW enthusiasts, as it takes the N54 engine to the next level. It is still yet to be determined the strength of the N54 engine's parts and internals, but clearly this is a big step up from the previous 417-418 rwhp peaks.
Larger turbos are now starting to be made and soon to be put on the 335i's. So I'm sure the next power level will be tested as well.
It will be interesting to see if the N54 can sustain 420+ rwhp levels on a track or at least in daily driving with the occasional WOT runs.
If so, I'm sure 450-460+ rwhp will be the next step with larger turbos making 20-21 psi boost.
11.5's are hopefully coming (very) soon for the 335i
As it is 437 rwhp would EASILY get mid 11's but without a larger FMIC to keep the temps down the car will probably heat soak really fast.
