It is well know that the 335i has been tested several times by multiple magazines and websites and most of the times were saying that the usual ultra conservative BMW spec sheet number of 5.2 was underrated and that the real number should be 4.8 and that number was consistently agreed among users as well. So...where is the IS gains? improvements over it? |

10whp? Didn't you mention more in your first post? its 27 + overboost C'mon man, if you are going to take the anti-is side at least be consistant.

Its 55,400 for a base M3 sedan. And be real, who is going to get their M3 totally optionless unless you intend on strictly racing it.

BTW, 'N55 w 7 DCT" is a 2011 135i. Simple research is key... lol |

Dyno graph on tune only: http://www.burgertuning.com/images/dyno2.jpg 346 WHP for n54, look at my previous post for N55 dyno, 330 WHP. TQ numbers identical, there is your IS advantage. |

Talking about both being tuned was never a topic of conversation because the N54 numbers were not mentioned. How much gain would I get for $850? And yeah, forgot about the 135i with the 7dct, probably because we were discussing the 3 series.... my bad! |

4.6 sec for the m3....?
The reference chat doesn't even make sense
Its best to run both cars, 335 and m3 together to see the difference... And I spent 80K for my m3 well equipped with extreme warranty etc... normally you are looking at least around 73-75K after guzzle tax and tax... I don't know how realistic to see an m3 as a 50K car... Stripped down bmw... HMmmmm... cam you get more lame than that? |

Overboost doesn't do anything for a tuned 335iS. Not being anti-iS here, but it's a fact that a PROcede runs far higher boost than even the overboost function. So activating it wouldn't change power/torque at all.

You gonna go the V5 soon? Looks like Shiv has done an amazing job...again! Can't wait to try out the ignition timing based traction control. Quote:
Just trying to make it clear that tuning means that the advantages brought upon by the iS are hardware based only.

Sorry it's not available over there It's a nice car. Once I drove it and listened to that exhaust note and saw the other features on the car, I knew I had to take it home

I've been waiting to see some thorough testing of the 335is on a track. I have an E92 335i with a DINAN stage 1 tune, so I've been curious as to how my car stacks up. Having been to the track now on a few occasions, I know that the numbers posted on any given day are subject to any number of variables. That said, I'm happy to see that my mild stage 1 tune can out perform all the 335is numbers I've seen posted (in a straight line, at least).
I think the 335is has a place, and I think it's a beautiful car. Knowing what I know, I would much rather own an M3 if it came down to a decision between the two. Just my opinion.
