j/k, seriously though the 135 is an amazing package! To the OP, remember you wont get the same experience in a 335. its alot heavier....

sorry about that man, im weighed down by the extra 3 girls in the car...What can i say, girls like M3's...

V1_R · 01-26-2011, 12:13 AM

girls like BMW badges, pretty colours and stickers.

they wouldn't know an M3 if they were shagged in the backseat of one.

but not really. I still have another 4 yrs to keep paying for the car, and if you look back, I haven't had a go at you about this because frankly it would be hypocritical. I do pay for everything to do with the car though so we're not alike there. I just wanted to beat bmroxm5 to it.

i actually own my car so i guess theres a marked difference there aswell.

Really? Your sister seemed to know it was an M3.....

rossiM3 · 01-26-2011, 12:21 AM

What 0-100 time or 1/4 does your car run?

chappy · 01-26-2011, 12:33 AM

Map1 is set at 13psi and Map2 set 15psi on the new V5 N54 software, but more power down low and same power up top but buttery smooth delivery like n/a,its transform the car even better.

Does the stock intercooler and turbos of the 335/135 support/handle 15psi or do you need to upgrade them?

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 01-26-2011, 12:59 AM

woah wtf happened here since I posted!!

xsboost, that sounds like a really good price to pay for your car!
I'd be looking at around the 75k mark right now for an 08 model onwards with less than 50,000kms.

I don't think I can make it work financially right now though (upgrade to 335 that is). Have to wait a little while longer.. or maybe my e90post stickers will start selling like iPods

rossi, I know the 335 is slightly heavier but with that much torque I don't believe it'll make that much difference. I'd be going the whole hog anyway and do intercooler, downpipes, exhaust system.

Speedwise, I'm pretty sure a tuned N54 is faster than a stock M3? Although I do concede the M3 has the whole package, handling etc.

John, I agree with you though that our cars/engines have enough power for everyday driving. I'm happy with my car about 87% of the time, it just needs a little bit more low down torque and I'd be happy about 92% of the time lol.

A stock N54 will handle 16psi on 98 ron. With a few bolt ons, 18-18.5psi.

Bye bye M3

...although we all secretly want one

I like Shiv's run of 11.5 while designing the older V4 maps. I believe it's no longer a record

bye bye M3 like these 2 vishnu 335's vids?

And its not even DCT!

Id love to see the 335 keep up with the M3 on the twisties or the track

Seriously though a modified skyline, could beat a stock M3 in a straight line.

Hmmm, but really, 40kg isn't much of a weight difference....but you'll have a wider track, longer wheelbase and most importantly, the shape you like! Obviously I'm NOT biased! Lol

is it only 40kgs difference?! wow i thought it was more. I take it back then.

Saferisk your car is an exception to the 335 vs M3 debate!

saferisk · 01-26-2011, 02:00 AM

Currently running 16psi with stage 3 mods, with meth 18psi. That was on procede V4 maps, funnily just uploaded the new v5 beta maps and I'm definitely making more power on only 15psi now!

this is why i cant wait for the next M3 to be turbod. soooooo much easier to make more power.

I love the v8 but man its so $$$$ to make more power

Not to mention the milage fkn sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saferisk · 01-26-2011, 02:05 AM

Lol, I liken it to the natural versus plastic debate! I mean finding a gal with double ds and nice body, who knows all the tricks of the trade versus getting a gal with nice body, paying for her boob job and then teaching her the tricks! Haha

There is a small but important chasm betwixt M3 and M-sport 3er chassis.
