It's their opinion, not based on actual tests. Another thread on these boards showed dyno results from an n55 that indicated 300hp at the wheels. I think it's only reasonable to wait to see more data before drawing conclusions.

So who's your source that the N55 is maxed out?

There is a lot of misinformation posted on the netz when it comes to these motors...

[galahad05]

I'd have a hard time believing that the n55/twin-scroll turbo was maxed out, straight from the factory.

I might believe that upping the boost above stock could add turbo lag.

[MusclezMarinara]

335is stock N54 twin turbo is 0-60 4.8 max PSI 15lbs
335i N55 twin scroll single turbo 0-60 5.0 max PSI 10lbs

[bmrm396]

^^^ those "max PSI" numbers are from the factory boost, correct? cause we all know people are pushing more than 15lbs on the N54 and i hope to god/assume the N55 can handle more than 10 ... right?

[mkato13]

Kind of a pointless argument. All of the test drives and magazines come with ina few tenths of a second to the same numbers. Plus its not real time 0-60 times. Its dump the clutch at 3-4000 rpms and hope you dont smoke the tires too much 0-60 time.

yea, I think under normal boost, the IS runs 11.x and with sport button it runs just under 15 but it won't sustain the 15.

[cstavaru]

On the dyno the N55 vs N54 performance is the same. On the street, I read that the N55 is actually quite laggy (read the BMS statements on this forum) and this could influence the 0-60 time. However, if using the launch control feature of the DCT the engine may start at max boost which could suppress the lag.

"transitive property".....did he just call a 335 a tranny owned by a pimp?

Ha, this thread is slowly taking a turn in the wrong direction.

[DASHOCKER]

Invest in a G-tech Pro for on the street numbers.

of course i think im pushing 18psi but ill know when i install my gauge today

[Shadow335i]

Its more of .5 seconds and not .1 seconds. 4.8 for N54 vs the current suggested numbers of 5.3 for N55. Half of a second is pretty big.

It's called bench racing you retard. Men have been doing it since they were racing each other as sperm.

Okay magazine racer. sf_loft does actually have a valid point

[galahad05]

The new S4 is a positive bad-ass. Wonderful interior too.

Where's the N54 / N55 engine? VW/Audi has 3 engines on there and BMW only has the turbo diesel. Oh snap!

where was Audi in 2009?

Let me join in on it! My stock 4000lb S4 () is faster than a 335is, 335 as tested by edmunds and motorweek, so don't mess with an S4 when you see one. 4.7s 0-60 and 4.3 with a rolling start. 1/4 mile in 13.1 and some people have clocked it at 12.9. SO by these numbers alone, S4's supercharged engine > N55 > N54

I think you are "joining in" a wrong conversation. This just a thread to determine what the new 0 to 60 time of a 2011 335i.

If we are going to be talking about random cars with a random subject, then you can take a similarly priced corvette which will obliterate your S4. But this is not the point here.

What is the logic behind posting in a BMW forum when you now own an Audi? I know you can do you but it just looks dumb on your part
