2005REV

So I was getting my morning coffee at the Dunken Donuts on my way to work this morning and as I was pulling out of the parking lot to get back on the 2 lane highway (Route 202 Flemington, NJ) and continue my drive to work, and a Silver 335I was also backing out of his parking space at the same time, and I drove right past him and out to the curb to make my right hand turn into the right lane - it was clear behind and ahead on the highway, and he comes barelling out of dunkin donuts right behgind me and immediately in the left lane clearly coming after me and I'm doing about 60 in the right lane ahead of him and I see him getting closer coming hard, so Im in C mode and I get on it a little and the tranny shifts down one gear and acceleratin and I see he's still getting closer almost catching up to me and I simply floored the beast in C mode, dowshift from like 5th to 3rd and put 1/4 mile between him and I in a flash.. I know I'm being dramatic , but it was awesome and one of the best encounters I've had with my beast... Just knowing how this car can just come alive in a split second and exploiting its attitude, it just puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it.

nice - sounds like an activity that I would rather enjoy...

can't wait to give the fiance the 300 and upgrade to a 63.

haha, nice. poor guy was probably like, "i didn't know C300's were so quick" ...

Jons95c36amg

He shouldve knew when the 63 AMG was in front of him!

That's like 2nd degree murder lol. I love toying with those 335i guys

Sometimes you have to watch out for the modded 335s though because some of them are freakin quick

+1. The 335i must have been completely stock. With either the PROcede v3/v4 or JB3/JB4, he may have caught up to you and gave you a good run.

My C63 with K&N filters, a mixture of 94-95oct and some weight reduction ran a 12.9@110.5. at 3100ft
My 07' 335i with also K&N, Procede V 1.4 (3 years ago) and a pair of BF goodrich ran 12.71@110.69 at 3100ft

That 335i was stock for sure. The C63 weight around 3950lbs and has more power but the 335i weights much less and the engine is underrated. A 335i with a simple Juice Box and maybe a set of downpipes will equal the C63.

Stock(except K&N filters) my C63 trapped 109mph, stock my 335i trapped 103mph so I can see you pulling on him on the hwy.

My previous PROcede v3 335i trapped 111mph in the 1/4 mi.

dodger63

I think you have the slowest c63 out there!

Brisk335

You were a good addition to e90post man, glad your enjoying you C looks great.

sflgator

Thanks, man...best car I've ever owned/driven! Last Dec., I trapped 115mph in my C63 AMG...with almost bald rear street tires; got a horrible launch and a 2.048 sec. 60ft...managed to run 12.4 sec. @ 115mph. However, I'm confident that with better rear tires, I could get that launch down to a 1.9x sec. 60ft. and run ~ 12.0-12.1 sec. @ 116-117mph.

These other guys w/ DPs, DRs, and such are running mid 11's @ 120-124mph.

At Famoso Raceway last November, a 335 coupe with an aggressive juicebox tune, race gas, drag radials ran 11.8 @ 118 to 119. In comparison, on the same exact day with same track conditions,

a tune-only C63 ran 12.4 to 12.5 @ 113 to 114 mph
a tune + Kleemann headers C63 ran 12.0 to 12.1 @ 114 to 115 mph
a tune + Evosport headers and exhaust system ran 12.1 to 12.4 @ 117 to 118 mph

The 335s are quick and can sometimes surprise you on the street or track.

C63newdude

I couldn't tell if you are being serious or being sarcastic. a 12.9@10.43 in Tucson at 3100ft altitude equals to 12.4@114.5 at sea level, just use the official NHRA altitude conversion chart and you will see.

http://www.nhra.com/competition/altitude.aspx

There are no other C63 nearby that I am aware off that have taken their cars to the track so I really couldn't tell if my car is that slow or not. All I know is that Camaros SS and C6 (LS2)vettes car hardly run low 13's and trap 105-106 here locally.

I don't know where you ran but if you ran near sea level your car would run an estimated 11.8@118 mph here in the high desert.

A little of both with no disrespect in mind I don't no the formula but if a tune only 335 kept up with your # there's something wrong granted they make m3s look stupid but I've been up against many worked 335 on the street and on the track.

dodger63

Let's not even start with vettes I ran 5 times against a c6 new 435 hp motor with some airfilter and on tires at Mir and he bested a 12.6 I ran a 11.91 that day tune and tires only

I only can comment on what I do and see that evosport tune headers and exhust seems kinda week! Like I said I can only comment on what I no but these other c63s seem a bit slow but who am I. I no that mthis ran like a 12.2 stock on stock tires and him and I ran all day last month sub 12s to mid 11s like it was our job with speeds of 121-124 ??? Don't no

Jons95c36amg

Yeah stock form c63 runs low 12s@115+. Well my couldnt get traction in 540trd wear tires

Watch out for any 335i with full bolt-on mods. They really are no joke..

2005REV

I definitely think this was a stock 335I that I torched, but it could also be a situation that the driver did not have the kahones to keep up the pace as I hit about 97 when I looked down at my spedo before I backed off. He certainly came on quick, but either didn't have the kahones or the power to keep up.

There will be a big difference in times depending on DA. Next time the weather warms up and the DA reaches +3000 see how fast your car will run. You will soon see what some of these others guys experience in not so great conditions. I've never ran at MIR but from what I've heard and seen it's a very well prepped track that sits at sea level. With conditions like this your car will run much quicker than most when compared to other cars around the country, of course depending on DA.

To the OP, nice run and I'm glad you're out there representing the MB community.

sflgator

Yeah, I have run into a couple guys in stock 335i's who think they're are just the ***** and try to run with me. Then, I leave them by 1/2 mi.

C63newdude

It depends the location and the temps. You wouldn't run that in altitude. For many people in the Esat coast yeah I can see that happening but each track is different, the altitude kills your times.

+1. I agree with you.

dodger63

Talking car to car buddy forget your alltitude and this and that I'm sure you can use a calculator to figure out everything i'm talking real world! Side by side not accross country I'm sure no matter what anyone says there will be some one to contradict, a tune only 335 will have a hard time catching a c63 enough said! Good luck and good bye see you all on the street!!!
