335i santa pod today.

Davidlindsey · 04-20-2013, 04:02 PM

went to try the 1/4 mile in my 335i today and was pleasantly surprised, i was hoping it would pull 100 mph top speed and it did 104 mph on one run.
I don't know if that's good or bad as 335's go but there was a new focus rs running and he pulled 100 mph dead every run, so i was happy to be in front of him.
I didn't really try to make a quick time, didn't want to abuse my car too much off the line!.....Im well aware bmw's aren't the cheapest cars to fix.
Had a great day though, any of you ever been or does the forum have meets at santa pod ?
any thoughts on my cars performance, is that top speed healthy for a standard car.
Cheers

edit, car is on standard run flats and 19 inch rims if that matters,lol.

errrm, first run was 14.5 seconds, 60ft was 2.8 seconds on that one

2nd run was 13.8 seconds with 2.3 second 60ft, 3rd run was somewhere inbetween

13.8 is very good!! Is it standard?

I run low 13's with my Polo on drag slicks so 13.8 is very good for stock car!!

yes bog standard, i remember an e46 m3 cabriolet repeatedly running 101 mph and his best time was 13.9 using launch control, i had heard the 335i was similar straight line performance to an e46 m3 and so i guess its true!.
