Quote: Sorry, I don't see a car that struggles to trap high teens on its stock turbos "beat" a car that can trap mid-high 120's (both fully modded). 335 fanboi's... go back to beating M3's from 0 - 120mph (because the M3 will walk you after) in between fixing your HPFP's and the myriad of other issues that plague modded 335i's.

I used to own a 335i (look at sig) and it is a fine ride, but current owners (especially the younger ones who have purchased used ones) are really turning it into the new Civic SI. Anyone old enough to remember ClubSI and the massive trolling back in the day?

Bigger turbos? Sure. Let's strap a super on the C63... or add in some motor work.
I see you are from toronto as well. those ClubSI days are a main reason I will never drive a civic... or anything similar in that matter (ie integra). There is just too much stigma still with that kind of crowd. However, some of their rides are pretty sweet and creative

Quote: Seems like the C63 kind of struggles to keep up with a lot of stuff. I know for a fact that a moderately modded 335i will easily keep up with the C63. I really get a kick out of reading these posts where people blatantly deny that even a modded 335i could ever keep up, let alone beat a C63--denial much? I especially liked the guy saying he "skeets" on bimmers in his C350


If a C63 is too expensive, a 335i might be something to conider, but an old motocross bike can destroy most modified 335i's at the drag strip. , but WTF who cares

Careful what you ask for:
RB 335i vs FBO C63 - YouTube

Today, that isn't even a "heavily" modded 335i. They get MUCH MUCH more powerful than that 500whp example. Also a FBO 335i on e85 makes about 450whp on stock turbos, and will run mid-high 11s @ 120+mph

Here you go:
BMW 335i N54 dyno world record 861whp e85 - YouTube

Stock block and internals. This guy knew he was going to blow his motor eventually but wanted to see what the breaking point was. Eventually blew it on 900+whp at ~40psi after 6000 miles of daily driving at 800+whp. Very few engines in the world can handle this kind of power per liter on a stock motor. Plenty of examples of 750+whp n54's out there.

And just for good measure:
BMW E92 335I JB4 RB MT VS. NISSAN GTR EXHAUST TUNE AND INTAKE DCT - YouTube

I'm not at all intending to flame the c63 amg. Its an amazing car that would be a joy to own and drive. These two cars were built for very different reasons. The c63 was built to compete with the m3, which it does. The n54 in the 335i was built to test a new generation of BMW motors, shying away from those bigger V8's and V10's to make an almost 100% turbocharged line-up as we see in 2016.

Very nice the 335i can do that but it's not practical driving that everyday. Soon enough something major will break and then it makes 0whp.

Why revive a zombie thread?

And anyone can search the internet posting vids.

Here's a civic beating a 335i.

Civic > 335i > C63 & GTR
By your logic, we should all go buy civics and mod them.

Damn...335 owners still in a dick-measuring contest after all these years... I was part of the BMW community for years before switching to Mercedes and they were just as bad then.

Nobody gives a flying a **** about what your 6 banger with two turbos can do........

My buddy has a Volvo station wagon ( yes, you read that correctly) with an LS2 swap slapped with a massive turbo, makes like 850 to the wheels. Runs 9s without effort.

As the old saying goes, there is always someone faster........

But reviving a four year old thread to post some YouTube videos because you are a 335 nutswinger is a joke.

Quote: FYI - It's not the car (BMW 335i) per say, it all depends on who's driving them. Tuned 335i's like my previous PROcede v3 335i ran 0-60mph in 4.3 sec. and the 1/4 mi. in 12.8 sec @ 111mph...and all I had was the piggyback. Some more modded 335i's run in the low 12's @ 114+mph. They are fast, and many tuned 335i drivers like to challenge some typically "faster" cars like MB C63's and such. So, again, it's not all BMW 335i drivers; just some who really like to play with others...you may just not be used to it. Having said that, we all know that the MB C63 was designed to challenge and beat the BMW M3 and Audi RS4...with a higher price point and exclusivity, the C63 AMG is at a higher level than the BMW 335i. It is for that reason that many tuned 335i drivers like to challenge C63's, M3's, etc.
yes, i agree with you, I had 335 e92, too. the car is fun and have fun with mod it, it is not car`s , it from the driver how to drive it.

Ok you like 335's.

Your rationale of why they made the 335's / turbo motors have nothing to do with why they actually did produce smaller displacement motors.

You are talking like the 335 is a godsend. For people who can truly appreciate what they are. They are a great everyday driver.

They are very fast if modded. But that's where it ends really. A quick 3 series.

I don't want to think about the amount of money I spent on my 335 and I have had two (10 and 11) and the 11 as a daily driver right now.

They are decent cars but when you go FBO expect issues. I had many in the 4 years I had my 2010 and it was enjoyable but still was downright stupid with issues. I carried around code readers and diagnostic cables and was always googling codes on the go. It was always an adventure to see "whats going to go wrong today" "whats the cause of this misfire". I knew my dealer well too and probably had about 20k worth of stuff done through them under warranty. I got rid of it quick though, to me that car is not worth to keep throwing $$$ at it.

The 11 is a little better and has remained stock but still has all sorts of random issues and the N55 is not as powerful nor enjoyable as the N54.

my friend just got his 2011 m3 delivered to my house yesterday morning. he couldn't make it to my house until the evening so i had all day to play with it. i was actually really surprisingly underwhelmed by it...not sure if i'm used to my tune and whatnot after all these years and since the m3 is stock it was just a huge difference or what. but when i first got my eurocharged tune, my butt dyno didn't really make me feel any difference so who knows.

Nobody cares what you think. This isn't an 'off topic' forum. Nobody is debating you here, have you noticed? You resurrected a 6yr old thread for no reason than your own ego.

If anyone cared about the 335, they would go to a 335 forum. Get it?

No "respect" is due whatsoever. This is an AMG forum. We talk about C63's here. If you want to continue to discuss your little 335, go to the BMW forum.

I drove my friends FBO 2012 335i x drive coupe yesterday. He wanted me to drive it because he had just put race fuel in it and adapted the map on his JB4 for it. He is lowered on coils, Catless DP, JB4 and has a few other upgrades done. I have to say I was very surprised at the violence of thrust once boost kicked in around 3000RPM. Thing is not a qtr mile car by any means but it is a nice highway beast. I beat the hell out of the thing for a good 15minutes. Not bad for the amount of money he put into it. I would still take my C63 over that any day of the week but it wasnt too shabby. That n55 motor with mods makes some nice torque.

Ive owned more BMWs than Mercedes in my car career ...(E36 M3, E90 335, E39 M5, and currently still own an S52 M Coupe) all my Indy mechanics would always say, "oh, there he comes with his broken motor works(BMW)". Cool guys, but they know those cars just always, always need maintenance and repair work.

BMWs break down stock so much it's sickening. You take a factory turbo'd one and mod the **** out of it, only a matter of time...

100% While I absolutely loved the way my E46 looked, the car was such a pile. I hated it. Plus the torque was that of a lawn mower. Ugh.

I'd say reviving a five year old thread on a forum of a car you've never owned to post youtube videos is the definition of nutswinging. I'd post a crappier car beating a 335, but I see I was already beaten to the punch.

As for your walls of text, I think you meant to post them here, where people care? N54 forums exist for a reason.

So no, I'm not a 335i nutswinger. I do love my 335i, but I also love the c63 AMG. Both awesome cars made by great companies. Both great cars with different strengths. The 335i has a powerful and efficient engine that is not known for reliability or being a .
You're right, that wasn't your point. Your point was to revive a thread and deepthroat what a great motor the 335 has and what it can do with mods. Nobody gives a rat's *** what it can do. Get the hell out of here with this bull****. Where is that BS flag emoticon?

Your whole reason for reviving this thread was to praise your 6 cylinder twin turbo money pit. That's a nutswinger. Stop kicking our *** showing 'respect where due' crap. Nobody cares what you think of the C63.

Go back to the elite douches over on the BMW forums. It's conceited idiots like you that ruined the BMW scene for me.

I would have to agree here. I really considered a new M3 sedan (f80?) but its the owners of BMWs around my area thaat ruin the car for everyone. I would get pulled over left and right.

Hi, I have a 2009 mercedes benz c300. Last week the battery was dead, so I tried to jump the car, it gave it little to no life, so I went out and bought a new battery. When i set up everything and turned the car on I noticed that the air for the air conditioner wasnt flowing, it has power when it is turned on though, and the A/c tube that runs through the car gets cold, but it isnt blowing out any air.
