That's not what I said. Warren's car had Tune + Tires + Race Fuel. Without the tires, I believe he ran 12.60s. Yes, Mickey Thomson's make that much difference..... I've seen them on multiple cars at the track and they work wonders on forced induction cars: E55, SL65, 335s, etc.....
By the way, Warren's car did not only beat a stock E63, it beat the quickest/fastest stock E63 in the west coast

I'm not talking about more modified cars(tires can drop .5 seconds or more off times). I'm talking about the thread holder that is talking about a stock 335 with a JB3 intimidating a moron E63 owner. If your uncle would like to race me for money, let's get it on.

I test drove the M5 a few times before I got the E63. Of course it handles better but I could not live with the stiffer ride. I even thought my wife's 335i rode to harsh. I prefer comfort over handling. To each their own.

Straight line, however, the E63 is amazing. I notice that it you don't feel the torque kick in right away, but when it does, it's definitely a rush and from there it accelerates quickly and smoothly.

Sometimes I feel my wife's new X5 handles better than my car because it just feels more "fun" going around curves even though my car would easily beat it.
That's the thing with BMW, they are great at making cars with very communicative steering.

Bangle's design really drove me away from BMW. I absolutely loved the E39 M5 and feel that is just a classic shape. The new M5, to me...gag. Even though the E63 is slower in the long run, I'd still take it over the M5.

Mo is correct about those modded 335's... Race gas, drag tires, and a race tune is about as much as you can do to the n54 currently. Other then downpipes and intake. Most of these 335s with this setup run low 12s. Basically only the top bmw tuners have broken 11s.

I will tell you what. I will bet anyone 1 million dollars that this is not true. I will even go buy a brand new E63 stock and a brand new stock 335 and add just a JB3 to it. I will even higher professional race car drivers to race both. If I win, whoever bet me will owe me 1 million dollars. If the person that bet me wins I will pay them 1 million dollars. Any takers????? Granted, you have to verify you have funds for this kind of thing with the bank and so will i. I'm serious if there are any takers!

You see if you would've read what I wrote you would clearly see that the guys driving the E63 were not the owners of the car but people who worked for Mercedes benz.
