heard this as well from a few ppl....stock ones no chance against an m...once they have software etc, they pull the m's by a few cars...

i must say....NA vs boost...you cant compare the 2...

there is an N/A golf in the cape that runs 11 sec quartermiles...

level the playing field

who would win....very worked 335i vs supercharged M E92

Damn
would like to see that on video

Must be an epic run

Just goes to show how de-tuned the X35I come from the factory.

 

[KarshS]

When you say stock they have no chance. At the coast yes but up here in GP i have seen stock 135/335s ahead of V8 Ms be it 1/4 mile or 800 meters.

Very very good point. i was referring to the coast

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

+1 On what Karsh said about the reef.
I saw that Golfie run, or one like it. Think he ran 12.2 on the day. Something like that.
Damn quick.
Still a Golf mk1.

Yeah
All Variables make a huge difference

But as Akash Says - Amazing how de-tuned the 335i is

 

[Low N Slow]

Just goes to show how de-tuned the X35I come from the factory.

I worked at Topcar magazine a few years back when bmw first launched this motor....it was brilliant and was very undertuned....think only was 0.4 bar boost...

Yepp

Bmw couldn't have a cheaper car in their 3 series range being faster than a M3.

There would be alot of unhappy M owners around.

 

[KarshS]

I wouldnt be unhappy in a V8 M losing to a x35....The Sound Track on the Ms are just :blowheart:

That's to be expected with the mods that the 335i has. I own a 2008 335i sedan with jb4+dci+7 inch VRSF intercooler and put the same lengths as the video from my brothers 2012 bmw m3 (stock).

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

Apples vs Apples boys...

Stock M3 will beat stock 335i.

Once you mod the 335i, it's a little demon. The torque is astronomical. The M3 doesn't stand a chance.

But that being said, mod the M3, and it will wipe the floor clean with the 335i.

0.5 bar... 7psi to be exact.

Stock vs stock is a no brainer. Modding the M3 however will cost 10X as much as the 335i....take a FBO 335i with upgraded turbos (such as RB) against a modded M3 (with supercharger upgrade).....335i still comes up top. Think there was quite a few 335i`s from the N54 forums that raced against supercharged M3 at various air strip attacks...

Even with all that said and done....M3 is still a beauty

 

[Shay_shay]

It's like that 335 hot nos half way :tiptoe:

The 335i comes ontop?? No... 135i, maybe, but not 335i. Also, there are a lot of M3's with low boost setups that give a proper boosted M3 bad names. I;ve also read many forum posts were guys boast about beating a supercharged M3. When asked what stage kit the M3 was running, they all forget to mention it was a 3psi supercharged M3 and they all suddenly think they are faster than all supercharged M3's. Try a 9psi M3.

I don't want to sound like a doos, so don't take my post the wrong way man, I'm just stating facts and love both cars. But the N54 in the 335i is not as great as the N54 in the 135i.

Here is a VT 600 ESS supercharged e92 vs one of the fastest RB turbo 335i with JB4's around... So no, the 335i does not come on top.

[video=youtube]

here is another video of an ess VT 625 M3... watch runs 7 and 8. Both 335i's lose. But on Run 10, that little 135i beats the M3 with RB turbos, meth and BMS tune with 85 gas. That little car is a monster. Also watch Run 11, stock turbo'd FBO e85 335i gets destroyed. Seeing the pattern yet?

[video=youtube]

Another 335i with RB turbos, FBO, Meth etc against a mid level supercharged M3.
[video=youtube]

and another
[video=youtube]

and another
[video=youtube]

Needless to say, the M3 in the second video had a passenger in all races, as well as his window down... also, a VT 600 and 625 are mid level supercharger kit for the e92, boosting only 6psi. The Vt 650 and 700 kits boost 8-9psi respectively. I'd love to see the race between the 135i and the M3 with a VT700 kit. Regarding cost, if you drive an M3, it is going to cost more, but that being said, it's not exactly 10x the price and can easily be installed at home, thus reducing install costs. I've installed 2 supercharger setups on my own cars, one of which is an M3.

So no... A fully modded 335i cannot beat a semi modded (mid stage supercharged) e92 M3. They come close, very close and are damn fast, but still lose.
