E60 M5 vs 335 JB+
#34
NICE! Love the M5, the 335i is nice but i prefer the 135i. The only thing is in our horrible HOT weather the BMW turbo cars suffer from a lot of heat soak, an intercooler upgrade is a must! That is the first upgrade i made on a friends car when he bought it a few months ago

Where is CoB?
I`ve not seen him posting for quite a while now..
btw,
the problem with the 335i is that it is not designed for high performance..
you have to add a lot of mods to get it to a point where you can get high hp outputs and not damage anything..
the non M-sport stock suspension sucks as well
a 400whp 135i with FMIC,Oil cooler, LSD,anti roll bars,racing coils and springs,Cup tires and no rear seats should be a great toy
and you`d have a lot of fun modding the thing instead of just buying a M3 or similar.
But comparing a 335 to a M5 is nuts.....
but I`d rather have a blown M3 or 997 C2S than a stock M5 for obvious reasons

Hey guys, I've been away for the past week!
I was in the UK and got my ECU custom mapped as well by A-LTuning which are a division of CA Automotive!
Will re-install the ECU back into the car and run it a few miles and hopefully dyno it again!
On stock map, I got 439whp on 95Octane fuel. I'm gonna do another run on 99Octane with the new map and see what I get!
I'm targeting 465 or 470whp... and with the M5's 20% drive loss, that should be hitting me close to the 570 Crank HP. Fingers crossed!
I will then go back and take this 335 on from a dig in P400 mode! I know I can take him no problem! However.. I refuse to use Launch Control... so it's on in the feet baby!
