335 vs M5

At 1750 meter above sea level.
E55 makes an M5 look like a 550i at that altutude.
Would have thought that the 335 will do better, with that jump ahaed.

Wow, I'm quite surprised the 335 did that well. In a street race through traffic it might be even closer. But the M5 was carrying 2 passengers though ...

Both cars had 2 peeps, 1750 meters above sea takes away around 20% hp on the M5's and M3's.

Was the 335 stock? If its stock, then thats is one BADASS machine. I'm definitely forcing my brother to buy one when he turns 16, if not I'll buy it for him.

No way it was stock. It must have some piggy-back system on it...maybe Vishnu. Very impressive for the 335. The N54 motor is really something special. BMW did well with that motor.

elevation is not a factor for turbo engines..

that is why in Palmdale.. LACR 335is can run same ETA and almost same trap speeds as some CLS55 CLS63...

youre both wrong

FI is better than in NA in high altitudes but they still suffer power loss, just not to the same the same extent as NA motors

Totally out of the powerband. Maybe his foot was wot. But let me tell you this. If an M car is below 5500rpms its crap. Cant start a rolling start race that low. the motor has to work to get into its powerband and by then its too late for short sprints. Driving skill is key.

You can hear the engine in the M5 pull down and just bog down and stay flat for a long time...I was thinking the same thing on the paddles...couple finger pulls and that thing is wailing.

He wasn't in the lowest possible gear. It sounded like he was in 3rd based on the speeds, etc. In a battle of torque a 335 will do exactly what happened in that vid to an M5.

Incidentally, there is a guy claiming he beat a 600TT in his mod'd 335i on another board. I called b.s, as are most others.
