Think the feeling diminishes over the length of the ownership. I recall loving the acceleration of my FBO JB4 N54 335i w/meth spray. When I put it back to stock it was a dog, slow and laggy with a spongy pedal. The ride (after putting back to stock) to give it back left a really bad taste in my mouth, like "wow I had to tune the hell out of that thing to enjoy it".

Then i grabbed a 535i F10 JB4 Catless DPs and that was a dog, really was a bad purchase.

Then the X5M tuned w/ Velos S2 and AA catless downpipes and the truck with AWD and 650ft/lbs of tq gives my passengers whiplash if i do not warn them. Another world.

In short - tune the 335i as it should be able to be an absolute beast or grab an X5M if you want violent acceleration. The C63 was pretty quick but not savage, same with the E9X M3 - i preferred the tuned 335i to those.

If you want that g force feeling I recommend grabbing a high TQ awd monster and you will smile at every single stoplight.


EDIT
Just read a little on the Pure upgrade and it looks awesome. Do that.
