modded 335is vs 03 32 amg with pulley.

I was driving on way home, saw this 335is coupe look liked it had exhaust, lowered, some blacks rims on white car. I stopped next to him on red light asked him what mods he had, he said chip, downpipe, intake etc, wasn't sure what chip he had, after green light we line up about 30mph, he said 3 honks, we both gun it on 3rd honk, we were neck to neck, all the way to about 90mph, after that i started pulling away, not much maybe half a car . I was really impressed, I thought I'm going to get spanked, since my car only has code 3 intake and eurocharged code 3 pulley, and exhaust which I don't think adds any power. This is second 335is i raced, about same result, it was also white maybe same car lol . Sorry no video this time my gopro had dead battery, next time it won't be.

Nice. Those 335's can be wicked fast when tuned. Vishnu ECU tuning is the best stuff for 335's from what I hear.

Do you also have a tune?? It is well documented that the tune (EC ) plus the Code 3 pulley or even EC's pulley do indeed add HP to the C32?? (I've seen 30-45 HP on dynos) Are you saying NONE of this adds HP or just the intake?? The intake may give you 6-10 max.

I raced a 335i also that was tuned, at the track. He ran a 12.3 on stock tires. I ran a 12.4 or a 12.5 on that run with my 100 shot and drag radials. Those things can be sick fast

I meant the exhaust, not pulley an intake, that made a huge difference.

I’ve spanked several uppity 335i pilots during HPDE track days.

Appropriately modified, they’re not to be trifled with during casual street encounters. :y

What is your altitude? Would figure a C55 with a 100shot would be faster.

also, the c55 would be faster if I could hold the NOS all the way down the track. I have to let off at around 5500 rpm, then wait for the upshift, then hit it again. tranny will not shift under the added torque.

modded or not, it's great to know our cars can hang with some of the fastest cars on the road. it's not often i encounter a "WAY" faster car, so i'm always holding my own as i'm sure guys do too!
