Anyone Race A 335i?
I was wondering if anyone has raced one? Do you we'd stand a chance fully modded (including the pleniums) minus the S/C. High end maybe? My friend raced his 05 m3 and they were pretty even off the bat until 3rd.

I didn't race a 335 tt cuz I knew better, but I have I/H and was up by one and gave it a drop from 55-85mph...then slowed down and he did about the same, I knew just from that demo they were fast as shit. 335's are very comparable to M3's. S/C CL's are definitely capable of mid to low 13's, so they most likely run well with 335tt's dependant upon gear ratios, although you would think with tt the 335 would have an edge. N/A even 6MT I/H/E plenums, spacers would be high 13's compared to mid or low 13's for the 335. Considering the potential of tt supras, 300z's, STI's, etc. I would rather have a 335tt over an E46 M3.
Here is video of what looks like highway speeds stock E46 M3 vs stock 335tt. M3 gets the jump but 335 still pulls...

Just noticed the M3 and possibly also the 335 may be RHD...don't know what's up with that or where this was filmed. It also says filmed at 5500 ft in the description, and I can witness that living a mile high definitely affects NA more than FI. The race may have been closer at sea level...

I raced one, and got my ass whooped...........very whooped indeed. Oh yeah, i have intake headers, and exhaust and CF hood which shaves like 1/2 a pound if that helps (01 auto). eh It was fun either way.

I had the chance to play cat and mouse with one a couple of weeks ago. He was jerry and I was basically garfield. I tried to keep up with I/H and he was having his weekend cruise while we were doing it. Pretty fun, but no chance in hell.

I kept up with a 335i NA, he launched on me and we went till about 70, still need to get my car retuned and what not then maybe I can inch by him, basically your hoping your peak hp numbers are good enough to compete and for you heavier CL's that means your going to need around 270-280whp. It was funny because the guy I raced had a dark red sedan like me and it was also a 6speed, he was suprised that I chirped 2nd gear :p
#12
A blown 6 speed could hang with a stock 335i. No way in hell can a J32 hang with one N/A.
Lets also not forget for $350 the N54 engine will gain about 35 HP and 50 lbs torque.

says "hello to my TLX".
I've never had the chance to try racing one of these though I have driven one. The engine sound is intoxicating.
From what I've read, it is closely matched to the times put down by an E46 M3. I had a go against an E46 M3 from a stop. Let's just say that I was owned x2.

Well over on the "other" forum that I am not allowed to mention, Sean with his S/C'ed J32 accord kept up pretty well with a ProCede 335i on the freeway. Go over and check it out.

Not sure why you guys dont think we can't keep up NA, I can. Just good luck trying to do so from a stop
Keep in mind all we really need to look at are the trap speeds and they do trap high, but anyone can be caugh on a bad day I suppose.

EDIT: WOW my bad 1400 not 1900 rpm, better keep the parking brake on while @ idle

I was driving my friends 335ci and beat my cousin's 6MT S4 (V8) from a 65 roll till about 130 by a car length.
CL-S stands no chance in hell, trust me.

I said 335 NA not NA 335, huge difference. One means I took one out while I WAS NA, the other as you pointed out refers to the 335 as being NA, hence why I put NA after the 335.

Accord V6 400... You beat a musta beat a piss poor driver to keep up/beat a 335. Regardless what you weigh those cars are pretty underrated and if my memory serves me right, you're NA and putting down 270 at the hubs. Still nowhere near enough to beat a properly driven 335.
They put down 280+ WTQ from 1400 RPM to I believe nearly 6000 RPM. So they still produce a helluva lot of torque approaching redline.

Considering I trap between 102-103, and those things can always heat soak it doesn't sound unreasonable to me. A car that gets around 270X whp is far off from me and as I mentioned earlier it weighs a lot more, plus we went to about 70, so it wasn't much. Driver seemed alright, didn't make any mistakes and shifts seemed fast enough.

Right.......
Would have been more realistic if you got him up top but after over 100ish.
Hes got you by around 50 lbs/tq. and its more like 300 lbs.

I believe you, after sitting in your car. Mine feels so slow now

Haha, why the disbelieve, my car is one of the faster NA ones out there. The torque isn't as beneficial as you may think off a roll, so long as I can stay in my rpm range and force him into his high end.
His just plain science, for people that haven't even raced one you guys are sure saying a lot, haha. Keep in mind my results are from a slow roll, from a stop the beamer just takes off liek a bat out of hell, no way I can compete with that even with the 225 tires I had at the time, now with the 205's that would be impossible.
Doesn't matter what you guys think, if you can't reason it out then thats your lost, not mine. The fact is that it was stock and not modified. I'd understand the doubt if I said I beat him but i barely kept up.

actually the automagic 335 is not a mean. my cousin has one and the gears are long as hell. i think that a full bolt-on cls-6 could stick it.
but dude seriously, the 6spd 335i can shit on a e46 m3. thats fast. you're gonna need FI to get even close

"Even knowing what we know about the engine and tranny, we were still surprised just how quick the 335i automatic is. Indeed, this particular Arctic Metallic 335i coupe was the quickest 3-series coupe we’ve ever strapped our instruments to, and it also ended up right on top of an E46 M3, with 0-to-60-mph passes in 4.9 seconds and 100 mph in 12.1. The quarter-mile happened in a blistering 13.4 seconds at 106 mph, 0.2 second and 1 mph quicker than the 335i manual we tested last year."

Are you one of these conspiracy theorists that thinks BMW is paying mags to up the numbers to sell more autos or something? Just because you ran to 70 mph with a 335i now you're the absolute authority on a 335is performance and only person that can give accurate information on their numbers? Oh, and of course you definitely know that the guy you kept up with till 70 was going all out, right? I saw some of your videos on Youtube and quite frankly at least one of those "encounters" was you racing someone that didn't even know they were racing. Well, I guess I'll stop posting magazine numbers so you don't get upset with me if God forbid I report numbers of a car that you "raced" and give someone printed information.

Everyone has gone all out against me, I talked to the 335 driver, raced him a couple of times, so ya I know for a fact he was booking it.

It's all good, you have your opinion and I have mine, but what it comes down to is individual experiences and knowledge. I didn't say all the cars you raced in those vids weren't legit, it just seemed some were questionable, but no doubt your car is quick and I admire what you've put into it with the swap and all. Sheesh, I drive an Accord myself.

And again, my intentions weren't to say this is exactly what you're going to run if you have this car, it was simply to point out that the auto 335i isn't way slower than the 6 speed, on the contrary it's slightly faster, and isn't like comparing say an auto CL-S to a 6 speed CL-S.

FWIW, I raced my old 02TLS with I/H/E with my new stock 335 and it wasn't even close. I will attribute to some of that being the driver being a pretty big pansy and not knowing how to trick the TL-S into going fast, but it wasn't that close... i'd say 4-6 CLS from 50-120.
My old car sure did sound better though.
