Okay guys, so after having my 328i for nearly 4 years and 53k miles it's time for a new project. My car was full bolt ons for most of it's life and now i'm looking for some bigger power. So now it is finally time to move on (please say why you voted for what you did), but i'm stuck on my next car. It is between a low miles EVO X less than 20k miles, or a 14/15 Camaro ZL1. Yes I know they are completely different cars. My needs are for it to be a daily driver, manual, fun, and mostly reliable. So the goals for the two are:
ZL1 - Tune/Intake/Pulley/Headers/e85 - which brings in around 650ish WHP Evo X - FBO + e85 and then build the motor + big turbo and shoot for 550-650whp. Will track/autocross every now and then, but mostly a lot of canyon cruising and roadracing

I'm young so either fits it's perfectly. Will never have people in the back. I was thinking 335 but it's the same car, if I'm getting something different might as well change it up a little. Was thinking m235 but seems like a hassle to get to that 500whp mark

I'd go for the Evo X...
That said, beware though that the interior is a bit spartan when compared to the BMW, so for a daily that might be something to think about. Also, IIRC from my last test drives with the X, there's quite a bit turbo lag, even stock. Bolting a bigger turbo will only make the matters worse. How come a second hand M3/M4 didn't go on the list though?

The money you spend building the EVO X would be more expensive than you get 500+whp on the M235i. It's fairly simple to get 500+whp nowadays with all the flash tunes and turbos out (bigboost, speedtech, PS2)

Since when is getting a 3L inline 6 to 500HP more difficult than a 2L inline 4? Most of the Evos with really high HP are just dyno queens. They aren't driveable on the street at all. Having only 120lb-ft of torque until you hit 5500RPM is not fun situation as a daily driver... |

I would go with the ZL1. Just sold my Cadillac ATS-V for my 340i 2018. Not that i didn't like the car but we have huge winter here in quebec, canada and needed a bigger one. From the ZL1, i would greatly consider the ats-v. great bang for the buck!! manual, 600hp easily with only a tune which is 800$. Did it to my car and man, no one can't pass by! Also, the look is amazing! you don't seem them on the road!
But if i had a choice, zl1! Just for the big V8 power and sound!

Evo if you're 16, ZL1 if you're in your 50's.

P.s. ... just so happened I watched an old Top Gear episode and they compared the EVO (360hp version) to the Subaru .... they said the Evo was an Incredible track car (360Hp version) ... but no way as an everyday car... look it up on Kodi... it's a great episode....
