Tuned N54 335i vs M4, interesting comparison!

Cool vid!

Always wondered how a fbo 335i would stack up against a M4. Obviously he hasnt got E85 or turbos, if he did he would have smashed a stock M4!

That FBO 335i isn't tuned properly if it couldn't take that M4. Being MT didn't help his case either.

Yeah I found it very interesting as well, this just shows that the N54 is s masterpiece and a lot of power can be gained from it. I wonder whether a tuned N55 can keep up with the S55 of the M4.

The S55 and the N54 are both 3.0L TwinTurbo straight sixes, so they're very similar setups to compare.

A few of the reviews I read consider the M3/M4 new S55 engine as a massive disappointment specially when compared to the new 4.0L V8 TT engine from the C63 AMG and AMG GT Coupe

The new m4 sounds bloody dreadful for any car let alone compared to the old v8.

Fundguy1 · 07-09-2015, 06:39 AM

I want M4 for lunch.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a vid of an FBO 335 taking an M4 somewhere. I'm with JB4-335, I reckon his car wasn't tuned properly. Looks like he's running Cobb from the device next to his centre console?
Also a dash of E85 would possibly send him over the line with JB4 in Map 5.

But then begs the question, what if the M4 was tuned? Game over lol.

A FBO 335i with turbos and E85 should keep up with a tuned M4 easily!

IIRC they're seeing 520whp+ from an M4 with jaybeefour + e30 blend.

Looks like N54 FBO can take a stock M4, however if the M4 is running JB4, the N54 needs bigger RB or Vargus turbo

Your links dont work dude..

I can swear I saw a video of f80 M3 just crushing the fbo 335.. I'll look it up to post here

MJ80. · 07-10-2015, 04:44 AM

Remember that all fbos arent equal, some guys pushing 450 all day some some guys pushing 350. Need to account for all the factors, fueling and e85 ect makes a huge difference. An fbo 335 could definitely get flogged by the m4, but another level of fbo can beat them.

Exactly! Plus the M4 could be tuned also

Yes - all that makes a difference. A FBO 335i car running e85 blend + meth is at a different level to a car running FBO on pump 98 fuel.

Those videos were just a few examples of a range of different FBO levels. And yes in some cases the M4 was not stock and also running jb4 with e85 blend

Don't know why the videos are not working. I can open on my end.

To find these videos on YouTube just type the following in the search box

"Bmw 335i fbo vs m4"

I'll take them. 😉

Mayuri Krab · 07-11-2015, 01:58 AM

If I had the money, I rather take the new C63 AMG over the M3/4 or even the old 6.2 C63, that V8 noise along is worth it.

If it came with a manual, in a heartbeat.

In my opinon, BMW was never about the sound. I wouldn't sacrifice the balanced chassis of a BMW for a good sounding V8..

Aussie FalCodores come with good sounding V8s too, just buy one of these and put a nice sounding exhaust on it, they're a lot cheaper than a C63.
