CLS-6 vs 07' 335i

And I think its a streatch to call thoes BMW problems a Major issue, besides the fuel pump.
But good job either way Jacob for not just going off hearsay!
Both the CLS and the 335i are nice automobiles. Each have thier problems. I feel the 335i has less seroius problems then the CLS. Having a CLS I know first hand the problems I don't have to look them up or show sources. As far as the beemer I prefer not to listen to hearsay and just go with the facts, like recalls and TSB's. You guys are making the 335i out to be the worst most dangerous car on the road, which until Jacob posted thoes Minor recalls is all based on your hearsay. It's all about "this guy and that guy I know with a 335i" and it's all hearsay! We all in here have first hand experience with the CLS but no one in hear has any real first hand experience with the 335i. NO riding with a buddy does not count! And reading in forums about the 335i where people like Jacob and Simon just post bs hearsay with no real facts does not count either.
Should just call you guys the "Hearsay Speculation and Assumption Law Firm Brothers".
"Got a problem with your BMW fuel pump in that pos 335i, then call us now, we don't get paid until you do. We are "Hearsay Speculation and Assumption Law Firm Brothers", and we will fight for you and you right to speculate! Call now! 1-800-BMW-SUCK.

They have never said acura's are so bad. They are pointing out facts about the CLS. On the other hand you are saying the 335i is a pos and you dont have one you are just going off hearsay. . They have a cls and are talking about the problems with it. You really dont see a diff in the arguments do you? WOW!

Ok did I misinterpret this?
""""Additionally, the auto CL may be plauged with problems, but all trim levels of the 335's are plagued with them , not to mention more expensive to fix when comparing part prices and labor."""""
You say the AUTO CL, so you are talking about the Tranny. And you say ALL 335is are plauged with them, I would Aassume (your fave!) you are refering to the fuel pump.
Am I wrong?

Calm down princess your 33 years old calling 19 year olds names. You have no facts. My only arguement is that BMW is overall a worse car brand than honda/acura. Idk where you are getting your other speculations from, so just stop

First off: I mentioned just the Auto CL, because it is the only trim level that gives people major problems. I was comparing it to the 335 because all of their trim levels contain the same problems, not just one. Get it now?

I'm glad you wrote this because it comes to my next point. Since I posted those links as proof, that means that what I previously said prior to that, was actually not hearsay

COME AT ME BRO!
I dont ever come to the CL section any longer, seeing as how I don't own one anymore. Now as a member that has had/ has an 01 cl-s and an 08 335 6mt. There is no question on the BMW build quality is faaaarr better than that of the CL. As for the speed, handling, etc. the 335 is MILES BETTER than the CL-S. I had AEM CAI, OBX headers, Hi flow cat, HKS exhaust, and Dyno tuned EMS. and when my 335 was bone stock it would run circles around my cl-s. Also if you think an entry level luxury car is the best thing since sliced bread you have a lot of maturing to do. THe cl-s IS NOT A SPORTS CAR. My Cl-S had less than 100k when I sold it and was on my 5 tranny. Not good build quality in any form of the imagination. My First one went out in < 30k miles. I also had the comptech tranny cooler and had it constantly looked at by my boy who was a tech at my local Acura dealer. I have never had a single issue with my 335 in 3 years. The only official sports car in the acura line up was the Teg Type-R and the NSX, other than those they were nice cars with a some what sporty feel, but not a sports car. Im sure you will prob try to
me for this post.. That seems to be your attitude with anyone who doesn't agree with you, then you go and report them to a mod because you don't have thick enough skin to take criticism. At least that what I see from reading your posts.

All things considered I like the build quality of the '03 6spd I have inside and out. Even in 2011 it doesn't look like it's an 8 year old car when clean and kept up. The 335 is nice though and one of the cars I'm considering since I plan on upgrading soon but I'll always keep the CL.

I've owned two CL-S6's... one fully modded (Forced Induction, coils, sways, BBK 13 flat @ 110 mph) and I will say the 335 handles better stock than the upgraded suspension CL-S and just maybe a hair slower in stock form then my CLS with a High Boost Pulley. This was well over 10k close to 15k in upgrades, so no, your logic is false. A CL with just mufflers will still be nearly a second behind in the 1/4 and 335i's are much easier to get off the line.

No flaming here. You have some good points, especially about the tranny. The only flaw in your argument was the fact that you're comparing build quality to a car that's 7 years newer. I'm sure the build quality when comparing an '01 CL to an '01 BMW is very comparable. Not to mention you're comparing an NA car to a FI car. Your stock 2008 335 would run circles around most cars that were released in 2001 lol. Now add a blower to the CL and you have a different story.
All things considered I like the build quality of the '03 6spd I have inside and out. Even in 2011 it doesn't look like it's an 8 year old car when clean and kept up.

A blower on a CLS-6 with headers and exhaust would most likely get a 335 on a roll. On a dig though, a 35' would get a good jump on it do to rwd with fat tires which is why it gets it in the quarter. Most practical races on the street are usually from a roll though, where a blown CL-S would come out on top with the right driver
![2 Cents](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/2cents.gif)
Also, keep in mind that the 335 needs fi to beat a stock n/a cls-6. There are no non-M series entry level bimmers that are n/a that can beat a stock cls6, even in the quarter. The 5-series is the only one that could be debatable, but it's motor is a v8, which is an unfair comparison, it also might not be entry level as well.

Uhm, I had first hand experience with both cars with a fully modded (HBP Supercharged CLS-6), and before she comes back in here claiming "I'm not comparing the auto!!!" I'll leave my first post here. Then again, she moved the goal post about 20 times in this thread and goes off tangents all the time.
When you had your last bf, and found your new bf, do you really think you looked back and said your old one was better? Of course you didn't, that's how human minds work. Once someone gets rid of a car, (in your case unexpectedly since your car got totaled), they will naturally say their new car is better in every way because that's what they currently have.

A 2003 Acura CL-S

Braking, 70-0 mph: 167 feet
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...w_330ci_page_3
Same year cars tested at the same time. From the article
"For openers, the BMW has a minuscule edge in performance (0.1 second to 60, 0.2 in the quarter, and the already noted advantage in braking and lane changing). "
Keep in Mind the BMW had 225hp/215tq
Another good point from the article
"after three years, are expected to retain a residual value of 59 percent of the original price for the BMW and 51 percent for the Acura."
So the BMW would retain its value better as well
Another from 2003 so you can't claim the Newer car excuse.
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...kage-road_test
Zero to 60 mph: 5.6 sec

Street start, 5-60 mph: 6.4 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 14.3 sec @ 97 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 158 ft
this was rated at 235/222
So 2 3-series from 2003 (these are entry level BMW's) that had smaller engines and lower output in power that still were faster.
Now go ahead and move the goal post again. And these are only straight line performance numbers. the CL-S performs plenty worse when we also consider braking and slalom.
Now where will you place this next?

People say you can put a blower on the CL-S.... well you can spend $500 on a JB3 for the 335i and get 75 whp/100 wtq. lol. There really isn't anything impressive about beating a bone-stock car unless it's an absolute beast.

So 2 3-series from 2003 (these are entry level BMW's) that had smaller engines and lower output in power that still were faster.
Now go ahead and move the goal post again. And these are only straight line performance numbers. the CL-S performs plenty worse when we also consider braking and slalom.
Now where will you place this next?

If you want proof to these things, I have automotive articles saved that express them.

This is just plain sad. Is anyone that delusional?
Someone please tell me he's just trolling us all. If so, he's really good. If not, I weep for the future of America.

you actually searched for it to make sure you didn't show up in the results? AND made an effort to show everyone else?

Hey is that your first CLS that you totalled, up under that truck? Let me guess, you were pulling on a new Bugatti Veyron when all the sudden some bread truck pulled out in front of you?
By the way, just so you know, a BMW 335I will lay waste to your car. Both of them! Just in case you did not know that. Did not know if you did or not!

I have raced 335's before and they have not taken me by more than a car and a half. I have even beat one before (the one I'm about to post), but I admit he probably wasn't the best driver:

I don't think it's that.... I could put my mom in a Gallardo and I would still beat her from a dig in a V6 Camry.
People say you can put a blower on the CL-S.... well you can spend $500 on a JB3 for the 335i and get 75 whp/100 wtq. lol. There really isn't anything impressive about beating a bone-stock car unless it's an absolute beast.

I think everyone who's owned a CL knows how frustrating it is to mod the car and squeeze any power out of it compared to other more mod-friendly cars out there...

This was the most fair comparison as the times that the STOCK Acura CL is right in line with the majority of other industry standards (From other magazines and several magazines actually ran high 14's low 15's)/ as well as the performance numbers Acura published.
I can post several other forums where they say the 330 runs 14.2-14.5 with a decent driver, to a 14 flat.

Last post in that thread.
But reality is this (which a fanboi like you could never accept because your CL is so superduper fast - I forsee YOU totalling another one wrapped around a tree), the test was the best measuring stick possible considering both cars were tested on same day and ran the numbers that most standards indicate. But keep pulling shit out of your ass and moving that goal post.

The point wasn't which mod was more effective. It was the fact that Evil was comparing a FI car to an NA car, not to mention the fact that the FI car is 7 years newer AND has more HP, so yeah, I threw the blower out there to try to even things up power wise....![Roll Eyes](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

It is impressive for a 9-year old car to keep up with a modern one, especially with FI and there's definitely a ceiling when it comes to performance with FWD and the limited aftermarket for the J-series but ultimately brownie points don't mean anything in the win/loss column.
