We raced dead stop to 130mph.
His car suppous to makes 340HP at the motor, but weight a lot lesss than mine.
Regards!!

I testdrove the 335i and thought it was very fast, it has two really small Turbo's that have very little lag. Actually I am surprised that the ML stayed in front of it; good news!Cheers

Nice kill
Result doesn't surprise me. I'm not a great fan of the 335 and the ML63 is a beast. Haven't had the chance to run the big benz on the hwy yet but it'd probably be close.
FYI, i once got dusted by a G55k from the lights- that was embarassing but I gave him the thumbs up as you can't help but love that tank

I'd fancy my chances against a 335i in the straights and as for the twisties there's no comparison

The 335 appears to be about 4.8s (or 5.0) to 60 and 13.3 in the quarter

The average ML63 numbers seem to be 4.7 and 13.2 I think.
The two are so close in acceleration I would think the only reason an ML might smoke it would be traction. Otherwise who ever gets on it first wins.

I meant that the 335i is overrated. It is not as good a handler as the E46 M3.
Anyhow, you own an ML63 and an M3 (Coupe, i hope) so you have a fair idea. Surely you're not saying the ML63, as good as it is, can handle like an M3? Benchmark cars like the GT3 set the pace but my old thing ain't too shabby!

My M3 is a CSL, so it certainly won't corner as quickly as that, but a normal M3 would be fair game.

Well as I discovered when we track tested the ML63 in last month's EVO, it laps a circuit as quickly as an M5, which in turn was faster around that particular circuit than an E46 M3, so surprisingly I am saying it will cover ground through the twisties as quickly as the M3.

My current M3 is the CS so it has the brakes, steering rack etc from the CSL. Handles just as well but is a touch slower due to the weight and of course the slicks

5.4 would be the slowest time I have seen for a 335i to date but who knows. I am fairly intrigued by the car but I think there will be oil cooling issues when driven hard. The automatics are having issues already and sources say even manuals are going into limp home mode after a session or two on a road course due to 300 deg plus oil temps. Upgrade time I think!

My 335i do over 333hp and 391tq at the wheel, and a new software release will improve those gains in a couple of weeks from now.
I am also ordering an LSD so that the rear wheels may find some traction in the 3 first gears...
Send me a PM if your friend is interested.
