E46 ( 2005 M3 MT ) VS 08 335i Coupe AT RACE !!

joeybmew · 08-13-2008, 01:22 AM

ok so here goes.. my friend has the M3 its bone stock .. Stick shift .. and i just got my 335i Coupe AT about 1 month ago .. about 1200 miles on it .... we raced..... ABOUT 20 TIMES!

Outcome = Exaclly the SAME all 20 times ...
1/4 MILE = SAME
Freeway Race ( from 55-65 Start to 100 MPH ) = SAME
Stopped Light ( Drag ) 0- 120 MPH = SAME

WOW i never knew my car is the same speed as the old model M3 Keke !

hmm, strange!

Scimitar335i · 08-13-2008, 02:02 AM

just imagine you spend less than 1k on some software and an intake and you should edge ahead

Must be the SoCal smog.

rushx85 · 08-13-2008, 02:46 PM

I dunno whether it´s correct or not but I heard from a few people already that BMW makes the 335 look worse on paper than it actually is in order not to "piss off" the owners of an E46 M3.
Does anyone know a bit more about that?

BTW guys, I´m new to this forum.
So hello to everybody!

The OP must have gotten a slow one, maybe progman 29.2...

HappyG · 08-13-2008, 05:19 PM

I like how the OP says all the results are the SAME.

You couldn't have the SAME results in any race even if you tried...

And boo for getting an AT. Learn to drive a manual, it's a skill that can be used for a lifetime.

armyav8tor · 08-13-2008, 05:31 PM

A stock e46 M3 is faster than a e92 335i. Aside from the obvious (power to weight ratio), I've done a number of comparison runs to come to my conclusion.

mistermojorizin · 08-13-2008, 05:40 PM

edmunds ran some comparisons too: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=125908

"These disadvantages play out on the drag strip, where the 335i is 0.2 second behind the 135i to 60 mph (5.0 seconds vs. 5.2 seconds) — a gap that holds to the end of the quarter-mile, where the 135i finishes its run in 13.3 seconds at 104 mph vs. the 335i's performance of 13.5 seconds at 103.7 mph. The M3 is the slowest of this group, running to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and finishing the quarter-mile in 13.7 seconds at 103.3 mph."

^ That means nothing once you tune your 335i, but I surely don't want to start an ///M vs e9x nut flexing contest...

pittyinSC · 08-13-2008, 11:00 PM

E46 M3's are not fast nor are any stock or modded 335i I have been in. I have
been in quite a few mind you. None of them really give me a rush at all, almost boring in fact. Lol at me Idk

Cockiness is ugh
