Electrics were v dodgy on my M5, and my 01 E46 M3 i owned in England. One time the engine shut down and that all due to faulty wiring. Not nice late on a wet midweek evening. Apart from that they're good cars. They take a lot a maintenace but they give you a lot of fun in return.

Little 335 issues
Little 335 issues, as always, new, good cars always have some problems
but will be fixed eventually.
I would get the C63 AMG in 2008 instead of 2007 until all the problems fixed.

"BMW uses "xi" in the model name to denote AWD. The 335xi coupe’s AWD system originally comes from BMW's X3 and X5 SUVs and is the same setup used on 3 Series sedans. With infinitely variable front-to-rear power distribution, under normal driving conditions the system sends more power to the rear wheels than the front to preserve the 3 Series' sporty handling. When the wheels slip or the sensors detect an imminent skid, power is piped to the wheels with the most grip."

some one got a 13.3 bone stock 1/4 mile with an auto on dragtimes.
tuning and exh should get this car into the mid 12's ....its gona suck when a tuned 335 smokes an M5 at some lights.
Shiv has got his car to put down 370ft lbs,thats just about what the M5 makes at the crank

it will have torque.. but the RWHP is still only at around 330 to 340. Torque is now at around 360 to 370 with ECU XEDE, 2 cat deletes and custom piping and free flowing muffler.
I would think with that set up, high 12's 12.7 to 12.9 (Trap speed around 110)
If you notice.. the trap speed is only 104 stock.
Traction will be another factor and we will have to wait and see if the tranny in manual or auto can hold up with all that torque. Only time will tell.
Eventually once they tap into the intercoolers and headers ect.. this will be a mid 12's car.. but at the expense of warranty. Its a very hard trade off.

Where have you read that shiv is catless?I thought he only had a beta cat back and running 91oct Xede tune.He also passed cali emissions with his exde and im sure he was running cats.
that 13.4 was an auto.A stick with a good driver and better tires should get into the mid 12's with 93 oct tune and no cats.That should put the car to about 350-360 whp and 400 ft lbs across the mid range

I thought about selling the C32 to get a 335 but could not do it! I like the torque of a supercharger better than turbo. Unlike the 335 the C32's motor can handle more boost so if I ever wanted to I could up the boost.

You guys crack me up. The open dif, if that is correct about the 335xi, will kill any chance at mid 12's. The 335 will just spin a wheel then another. The awd is great for launchs but should hinder the top end. I will guess high 12's but kiss the warrentee good bye! Has there been any posts about the inline six lifting a head on more that 7lbs of boost?

Sorry, but the boost is limited on our cars by the supercharger clutch, which will begin slipping looong before the engine has any trouble. Ask Vadim to verify how much boost it can handle before slippage - Evosport found out while developing the C32 ODPS.

===========================
The two factory cats in the downpipe are still in place. But the secondary cats, along with a bunch of bendy exhaust tubing, was all replaced. If we can make good power with this quickie exhaust, we should do really well with a production version offering larger volume mufflers, mandrel bends, etc,. In a way, I wish I had waited to put on the exhaust later and just re-dynoed the car with just our new-found fuel and boost control. But I didn't. So shoot me. We could always stick the stock exhaust back on next week and dyno it again. But hey, I was impatient for a fast car that actually sounded fast

here in Cali 93 oct maps are very hard for a daily driver. Once needs to have a place nearby or mix your own fuel.
Therefore you won't see too many of those maps around here.
The AMG has a very traction control system to reign in all that power. LSD is not really needed for 1/4 times.
new 6sp auto and manual on the 335i are very close in persformance. This trans is a very fast shifting one and with that much torque, the manual vs auto debate is non existent.
The manual might put a few more horses on the ground (less drivetrain loss), but it would be need a good launch and driver. I would imagine that better consistent times will be with the Auto.
13.3xx at 104 is very impressive for a stock car specially an automatic. To reach 110mph trap takes alot of power. To reach 115+mph traps speeds take a serious amount of mods.
As I have said before, I'm buying a coupe next year.... but let's not over hype the car.
