Magic turbo pixie dust.

I got my 335i beat-down a few weeks ago. :tickedoff: I'm running a 75HP shot now so I'm looking forward to the next encounter. I also have a Powerdyne kit in route, being delivered on Tuesday!

I think the starting point is matching the power to weight ratio. The kicker is that the 335i makes it 300ftlbs at a low 1800rpm. The 335i is heavier than a Mustang, so we got that working for us.

A car that would accelerate faster over the same given distance.

it seems everytime i go to the track i see at least 5 335's they seem to be stock an run in between 13.00 and 13.50 so you gotta do a little work to run with them

well im a bmw tech......i drive them alot.....they arent really that bad ass...if you ever get to see a dyno sheet of one stock ...youll see what i mean....they could have been better....thats why the dinan kit turns up the boost and plays with controls and will wake one up ....i know some may think im crazy for saying this....but believe it or not...the automatic 335i coupe is faster than the 6spd 335i coupe.....but they are pretty decent in power and a hell of a car in my opinion...i want one but id rather have the new 135i coupe....i plan to install the 335i computer swap and dinan in that...its lighter and has a better rearend setup....just my $.02
