BMW does underrate them. That is what the 135i's dyno stock. with downpipes, fmic, piggyback/ecu tune, and intake, you're looking at a high 11 car that traps 116+ at least on pump gas

You should get your c32 over to dyno-comp in scottsdale for some dyno runs. they have a 335i over there that puts down 385whp on their dyno-dynamics dyno.

Beautiful car! If I had the money I'd buy a 135 and go for StageIII JuiceBox the same day.

Hey Jerry! not to steal the thread or anything and I apoligise if you feel I am, but do you think a stock 135/335 would beat a C32 with LET HE, Johnson IC, SL55 full intake and LET ECU in a race?

335/135/535 etc in reality they run around 330hp stock or more. those are right numbers for manual. the auto would put down less power. it's a marketing scheme to sell more M3 because if everyone knows (not just the tuning world) that the 335i actually made around the same power as the old M3 and with a simple tune and LSD will be quicker than the new M3 no one's gonna buy the new M3 at $20k premium over the 335.

that's why the M3forum people doesn't like E90forum people because there are constantly modded 335s talking smack to the M3 owners.

to topic: IMHO the 135i is a cool car, but it's still an ugly and small car that I wouldn't drive. I'd be much happier with a 328i coupe for the same price even if it's slow.

EDITED-Its a drivers race but the STOCK C32 will have an advantage....at the last track meet a stock 335i was doing mid to high 13s...but I believe he got even lower. Now the 135i can most likely do better due to 200lbs that it weights less. Either way either car it is most likely a drivers race

Automatic 335i/135i I think the C32 will have alot easier time but manual with a 7k rpm its pretty tough imo

NOW MODDED C32 TO STOCK 335i/135i I SAY C32 FTW BUT MODDED 135i/335i ALL I CAN SAY BE CAREFUL.
