I'm telling you that I beat a 335i from a roll up to pretty high speeds. It was a decisive win. I just slowly pulled. I've also chased other 335's but they weren't clean races. We looked pretty closely matched. An S500 has about 600lbs on top of my car so yes, 335i should definitely win.

That 335 wasn't racing there is No way a 335i is losing to a S500(not even S550) especially if it's an Auto. I just came here looking for the videos of me beating an E63 and by a couple CL's from a 40mph roll (I'm not stock) but anyway this thread was too funny I just had to post. Now back to looking for those vids the 335> E63 runs owner of E will hopefully post great guys.

STLTH_AMG

your 335 beat an E63??? what do u have under the hood?? quad turbos??? put the facts down if you want everyone to beleive ur little story!

ItalianStallion

Believe it or not buddy but I did in fact beat a 335i coupe. I was pretty disappointed. Obviously he must have been stock. The chipped ones are extremely quick.

jonmartin

LOL mmk Just keep looking for it on this thead I didn't have a camera so I'm at someone elses mercy for them posting it or not. I don't have 4 turbos (would be cool though) the E63 isn't exactly a Veyron bro sorry to hurt your feelings. I'm pretty much even with the 335 in that video which is my buddy we ran that same night I'm waiting for him to post the videos.SO read the little story there thanks.

The 335 Must not have downshifted from 5th gear lol

ItalianStallion

Right...especially since I heard the engine rev and RPM's raise when he downshifted. We did a 3 honk roll.

The fact is, I have 339 tq. That's more than your 300 torque, correct? How much does the 335i coupe weigh? My car weighs about 3500lbs. Isn't your 335i coupe 3,561lbs? My car has 302hp, doesn't yours have 300hp?

Since my car weighs slightly less (negligible), same hp, and 39 more torque...it should be a damn good race. Given the fact that this guy looked like a complete douche: fate was against him and I pulled him up into the triple digits.

Slightly offtopic (sorry) but Jon, that aero lip you have in your signature pic...that is an option that can be added when the car gets built? Is it a BMW accessory that gets added at the dealership? My brother is getting a 335 soon and we're looking into all of the performance and asthetic mods. Thanks man

Start a thread in the OT section? I for one think that would be a very interesting thread. PS: I tried to persuade my brother to get a 335i (and chip it later if need be), but he wants 4 doors and honestly neither of us likes the look of the non-M E90 that much (E92 looks great tho). On the other hand, he might end up waiting a bit and getting the M3

STLTH_AMG

My feelings are definitely hurt! hahahaha. all I got to say is, the 335 has some unbelievable engine potential then! Not sure why would someone consider an M3 if this car exists.

ItalianStallion

I had an M3 on order...when I found out what a dream the 335 is, I cancelled it immediately. I agree, M3 is a cool car and all but I think a boosted 6 is more fun than a torqueless, high revving V8. Plus much cheaper.

Air Marshall Eldritch

Why is everyone knocking the OP? He has an S600, not a 500.

AsianML

We're not, we're knocking Gondon who has the S500.

Air Marshall Eldritch

Ah that makes sense.

Did somebody post that their S-class weighs 3500lbs? I don't see how that is possible since my E has a GVW of 4600lbs.

AsianML

The 3500 belongs to ItallianStallion's CLK500.

jonmartin

Yes it's the Factory "Aero" package.It can be ordered that way or added aftermarket its just a lip over the front bumper.Makes a huge difference in how aggressive the car looks.

ItalianStallion

Looks great! Any links or pics you can send me so I can show my brother what his car should look like? Thanks

Carl Lassiter

Gondon is a true moron.

Anyhow, impressive numbers those modded 335is put out. However, just because they can be modded to make more power than the V8 M3 does not make them superior. Brakes, suspension, power delivery, sound and looks are important too as is the retention of ones factory warranty.

Again, props to modded 335i's but I think bashing the new M3 makes much sense. Bang for buck, is undeniably impressive on the 335i though.

Gondon

Go drive your M5 off a bridge

I posted above and agreed with someone else that that 335I either wasnt racing or it was a "REbadged" 335I.

02S430

i played with a 335i he raped me from a dig about 3 cars but i caught up and stayed on him, but never passed or let the gap open, i turned ESP off and used the auto stick to redline thats the only way i stood a chance i knew hed kill me just having fun

Mu9enx

i'd take a 335i over an M3, crazy as it sounds. good kill story!

ItalianStallion

In what, your ambulance?

mancic32

I am just wondering what do you have in your car? I beleive you also mentioned that you beat E46 M3 and now 335i which are low to mid 13s cars. I raced CLK 500 3 times in my C32 out of roll and out of dig and beat it every time, by 120mph I was in front by 4-5 CL, and in my E36 M3 (240hp)when I was stock I would keep up with CLK 500s, I am very confused how your car does low 13s stock

AltySE-R

To all the people that don't believe ItalianStallion, I was driving behind him and the 335i and I saw the entire thing. It was an exceptionally clean run, they both paced each other around 40mph and I came up behind them and honked three times. They both obviously knew it was on as the 335i saw me behind him and I could hear he downshifted. They went until about 120mph-130mph, and the CLK500 was ahead by no less than 2 car lengths . I would guess that the 335i was automatic from the way it was shifting, and was most likely stock as well.

Granted that ItalianStallion has "demodifications" (heavy chrome rims and subwoofer) to his car , he was still able to pull some decent lengths on the 335i.

ItalianStallion

I ran a 13.8 @ 100 at e-town

The same night though, a modded E46 M3 with DR's ran a 13.6 so idk.

My car is bone stock as far as the engine goes. The rims are heavier and bigger than stock, plus I have some equipment in the trunk so my car is slower than stock. I have no reason to lie about my races as I continually call my car a POS and could care less about my CLK500 or MB's in general.

You can't always look at 1/4 mile times as the be all, end all to street races and rolling "highway runs." Look at the E60 M5. The w212 E55 destroys it in the 1/4 mile by many tenths of a second. Yet on a highway run the M5 will pull it.

But why trust me?

ProjectC55

It's W211 E55 Bobby!
