The 335i or is are way more easy and cheaper to modify for straight line acceleration. However, this advantage does not mean that S65 is not a better engineered engine for track purposes. Neither does it over come the fact that 335i or is suspension wise or brakes wise or overall transmission technology wise are inferior.
Either way I love both cars but for different reasons.  |
Yes, Fayetteville & Rockingham, just some fun on test & tune nights, also a few in Mexico. As for the other post about never seeing a track my first time out for a pretty consistent 10 year stretch was at Bridgehampton on Long Island in the early ‘60s.
IMHO BMW advertising made up the ultimate driving machine as a sales tool which has worked well even though an infinitesimal number of BMW have ever actually been run.
Personally if I was serious about racing & was going out as much as I could I would not pick a BMW for Drag, Track or both. This is a topic for old threads & has been beaten to death.
Its pretty oblivious I do like BMWs, have 3 of them sitting in my driveway. Its nothing against the M3 & happy to see BMW making some serious adjustments for out of the box power with the upcoming M4.
Choice for my next DD will be the M4 or Stingray even though it looks like a Camaro from the back.
