Got jumped by a BMW
Heading home after work I got jumped by a BMW. It was a 335i I believe but i'm not sure. I'm not a BMW guy. I didn't spend much time behind him but that car ran pretty good. I went by him in the fast lane and he pulled in behind so I eased over one lane to see what his intentions where. It was pretty clear once I eased over what he wanted. I gave him a little 63 love and I pulled by pretty easy but he hung in for about 1/8 mile. I was surprised to say the least. I guess his 300hp turbo ran out of juice! I never would had though that car would run that well...
Does anyone own one of these?

Prior to my C63 AMG, I drove an '07 BMW 335i w/ the PROcede v3 piggyback...with everything else stock, I dyno'd ~ 350WHP and ran the 1/4 mi. in 12.8sec. @ 111mph. 
The F/I tt BMW 335i/135i cars stock are pretty fast (~ 13.4 sec. @ 105mph) and tuned, they can be very quick. Stock for stock, there's not much comparison; the C63 AMG is clearly much faster. Now, if your C63 AMG is tuned, you should pull ahead on a tuned 335i by a few CLs, especially at the upper speeds where the C63 AMG has a big advantage.
fyi -- a lot of these guys like to run against a C63 AMG b/c they know it can be fairly close, especially if he's tuned.

335i are quick with silly basic cheap mods. My coupe 335i had a Vishnu piggy back, cat back and air filter and it was quick. A 335i with just a tune, downpipes and air filter would be toe to toe with a C63.

However, once you get to the higher speeds, you would pull away (which is what it sounded like happened). This is most likely the reason that he wanted to run you; he thought he had a decent chance since he's tuned.

I had a 335i in front of me the other day getting on the highway, and when we hit it, I didn't gain much ground through 3rd gear, but once I hit 4th, I was able to pull around him rather easy...not sure if it is a gearing thing or what, but it was quick to start, and then seemed to get some turbo fade.

C63 AMG Arctic w/ Stage 1 Tune, DoubleXX pipe, MCD-631X coming soon
Funny thing I too had a modded JB2HHR GT PRO turbo upgrade downpipe/midpipe/Arqray prototype exhaust, etc etc. it was pretty quick, however the 335i N54 powerplant runs out of steam up top, and they do not have the torque curve of a C63. My car with our stage 2 tune, GT PRO LT's, Single X pipe, and stock intake had it's chance at a modded 335i the other nite.
The 335i had been tailgating me for about 2 miles, and we got on to another freeway, he then decided he would draft/slingshot past me (really close to my bumper on the pass), and when he did that I let him out about 2 car lengths until I hit it, I quickly reeled him in and pulled past him by at least 4-5 cars up to about 135, when I backed off. I think he got butt hurt, becuase as I slowed down so did he, he never wanted to pull up to me again all the way to the next interchange where we parted ways.

335I, e-46 M3
I have an '09 335 Coupe, with JB3 and cold air intake only. I have managed to kill 2 ISF's and an E90 M3, have not yet raced a C63 but been stalking one for a while
I am fixing to install a meth kit which should boost me up to 410-417 to the wheel. Now am at 387 hp and thats pretty cool for the money, I really couldn't get any better..OH I also ran against a modded S4 2010 he was ahead of me by 2 CLs and when he gunned it , while doing 70-75 mph,I followed and basically passed him at 120-130 (couldn't take my eye off the road for narrow street)...
Hope this helps.

While driving to Lowes today, I noticed a blue 335i with 20s ahead and to the lane on the left trying to get a look at me when I passed to enter the parking lot. Seem to attract the attention of BMW owners.

335er vs...
I like the C63, the price is out of the range plus the bucket seats are a little bit tight for my 6'3" frame lol but its a nice car no doubt, the M3 is up there for me also but the price on both is a bit steep. They are what I call MSRP shock, and though I have the $$$ to buy either 1 I won't for pure principal but those of you who have them, I am happy for you and I am really happy with my 335, you should have seen the look on the guy driving the ISF when I was passing him
lol
am installing the meth kit tomorrow morning...can't wait. then to the track!! I will post the numbers after am done.

I honestly think the C63 is great bang for the buck! I mean, come on dude, its a 4 door family sedan that also has racecar and sportscar characteristic. Nice suspension, HUGE breaks, wonderful seats, very quick, Runs mid 12's out of the box traps 114-115 stock, and its a AMG. You cant beat that for 55k. Plus at the end of the day its a MERCEDES. Oh ya, slap a tune and headers, and boom your almost at 580 hp and will be running low 11's trapping in the 120's. Now thats amazing, I lOVE my c63. Good luck

335I, e-46 M3
What did I startmy post saying??? I like the C63, and I am not putting it down or the M3, when I was trying to decide on whether or not to go for either one. With my spec's the M3 came out at $67K and the Merc came at $68K, I refuse to pay that kind of money for either one, I WILL however consider them slightly used and I am actively looking and I am finding some pretty enticing deals on both cars from $47-$52K, I wouldn't mind that.
I got my loaded 335I for $42K after $5k Off from the BMW dealer and my payment is at $560 with $2000 dwn due to great residuals, my owners choice is up on it in about a year and then its all up for grabs..the car I buy next, M3 OR C63, will depend on which has a supercharge/turbocharge kit out and least probs. I love both cars, I especially love the roar out of the C63 better even than the M, I am a bimmer guy but I am still fair, I don't put down others just for being different.
Thanks

He may have been tuned via either the PROcede v3/v4 or the JB3 piggyback. If so, they can yield up to ~ 390-400WHP / 400 lb-ft RWTQ and run 0-60mph in ~ 3.9-4.3 sec. and the 1/4 mi. in the low-mid 12's on a good day; some highly modded cars can run in the 11's. Prior to my C63 AMG, I drove an '07 BMW 335i w/ the PROcede v3 piggyback...with everything else stock, I dyno'd ~ 350WHP and ran the 1/4 mi. in 12.8sec. @ 111mph.
The F/I tt BMW 335i/135i cars stock are pretty fast (~ 13.4 sec. @ 105mph) and tuned, they can be very quick. Stock for stock, there's not much comparison; the C63 AMG is clearly much faster. Now, if your C63 AMG is tuned, you should pull ahead on a tuned 335i by a few CLs, especially at the upper speeds where the C63 AMG has a big advantage.
fyi -- a lot of these guys like to run against a C63 AMG b/c they know it can be fairly close, especially if he's tuned.
