I'd rather have a BWM like you and not be a homo talking about working out like me.

I put a JB4 and a DCI kit on my '08 335xi. Trying to figure out where to go from here. I think downpipes are the next recommended upgrade but on the xi it sounds like that requires some major work. Have you done that to your 335? If so, does it alter the sound much? I'm hoping it maintains a respectable sound rather than sounding like a fart in a coffee can.

I love the S-line, but I really like the TDI - the 2106 Passat TDI is supposed to be 236 horses and 368 ftlbs of torque in AWD with the DSG transmission....that has got me excited - especially if they are giving the A4 TDI the same setup

Also I'm not street racing with my personal vehicle - plenty of git up n go when I need it. They make police interceptors for street racing :D

i had the jb4 on the first grey sedan - I have the Cobb Access Port on the 09 black one - I prefer the 'built-into ECU' vs the piggy-back - though JB4 will give you slightly better pull. Tell you what - if you're using run-flats - next time try the Bridgestone s04's - they hook the road like nothing else - and are $980 per set versus those rip-off Mich. Super-sports which are $1150/set.

Tires are critical - You'll see tremendous gains if you simply buy some regular tires versus those crappy run-flats.

link? LOL

Yeah the black one (not to brag) but it's pulling 428/torque rating. That's after the tune though. but that's what makes it feel like a little black demon :D

The DP's will help your spool - they'll help it sound a tad more throaty, but it sounds smooth - it doesn't sound like a ricer, btw - I did also have AR catless downs on that other 07 335i gray sedan. That thing was faster than the black one - but felt a little less safe to be perfectly honest.

I prefer the Continentals on my bimmer but I have heard good things on the Bridgestones.

I do still - I traded in the black Audi which was my daily driver - the 335i is still owned by me and is my weekend baby.

I will take a picture of them side by side this weekend. They are side by side in the garage photo - however you can't see the black bitch.

Nice, I bought it last year and the dealership luckily had put new tires on it beforehand. When it is due for new ones I'll gladly switch over. I don't get much slip though because I'm in an XI, so AWD helps a lot.

Reported. :D



I think I remember a pic of it. I like the new one though too. One of my favorites since it came out.

:doh!:

oh yeah - that's true - I didn't even think of that - but still will help.

Are you getting some nice pull from the JB4? I would add it to this one - however I have that same twin-turbo set up w/ much less weight - I just can't justify it - esp. after that ticket. :( This car would be much faster than the 335i if it TOO were tuned - but as for now - the 335 would demolish this stock version of it's smaller sibling.

Oh well tyvm - I do too - it wasn't too pricey - I got a darned good deal on it - however it does have 80k mis - but that Audi had 121k.
