If you need awd go audi
I'm positive the next car after the 335 will be a white S5 with red seats.

i have seen two s5's now. They are sweet. They sound so mean. But, it is heavy, AWD. That was the deal killer for me. Not to mention, the sunroof doesn't open.
But, a black S5 just looks so awsome, the lumpy V8 sounds so muscle car. Man...

The 335i coupe weighs 3,571
That difference in weight is 287 pounds. It's a good amount of weight, but shouldn't be deal breaking in my opinion.
Power to weight is 11.9 in the BMW
Power to weight is 10.8 in the Audi

Just drive your car you pussy.
I wouldnt touch JB2, only because i like to go with a real company when it comes to the tuning of my $50k car.

Alright, then tell me the history of Terry and all the products hes made and where is his shop located? How many employees does he have?
Yea exactly, hes too new for me to trust. I rather go with a company whos been tuning for years and has a good reputation.
You asked if we thought it was a mistake going with JB2, i said what i thought... dont get pissy over it.

I didnt mean it as a smart ass comment, I dont consider him to be a real company and thats what I said. I personally dont like his buisness tactics online either, then again I dont like how Shiv does his either.
On the flipside, i havent heard anything bad about the juicebox and those who have it are enjoying it with no problems. Im sure you will like it.
I buy a lot from small companies/people but it really depends what im buying. If its a tune then I pay a little more for the peace of mind.

^ Thats debatable 
I didnt buy from Shiv either, i went with Active Autowerks.
Terry just got banned from E90post AGAIN. I rest my case.

I'm going to wait a little to tune my 335i E92. I'm waiting to see long term effects, although Dinan is tempting, I like the ability to remove and readd the piggy back systems.
If I wanted to tune, I'd probably go AA Xede or Vishnu V1.

Honestly, I even debated selling my piggyback till I got an LSD. I have traction issues as it is and my AA piggyback makes much less power than PROcede V2.
I dunno how these guys get traction with V2.

Should have said have. I got in on the quaife gb with birds uk. I don't have a welded diff so it was easy.

Put the car on the dynojet and did a bunch of test runs, these runs are on a car with totally stock exhaust!
stock to attaché 93 octane tune +73hp +95tq-356whp/389tq

attaché 93 octane tune to fmic +22hp +6tq-378whp/395tq
[IMG]

Fmic-93 octane to 97 octane +13hp +11tq/391hp/406tq

I can't wait to get the rr downpipes on the car 400+whp here we come(maybe on pump gas)
**all runs were done on the 93 octane tune boost level of 14 psi**
On a related note the fmic dropped ait's 61degrees over the factory intercooler we will be posting datalogs on the fmic thread in the next few days.
