335xi coupe faster 0-60 time then RWD 335i coupe? umm how does that make any sense? Wouldn't it be slower?

Makes sence to 60, but should be slower to 1/4mil

Driver72 · 07-11-2007, 04:59 PM

Better 0-60 time because of the increased traction for launch.
Slower trap speeds because of the extra power robbing drivetrain loss and the fact it has to haul around 200+ pounds extra weight.
Slower rolling acceleration times for the same reason.

Will be a fast car still especially off the line.
Wonder how durable the x-Drive drivetrain is though.
Might not be up to PROcede standards.

STE92VE · 07-11-2007, 05:01 PM

Thanks for the info Ryan. I'm sure many folks here have been waiting for some definitive answers to the MY 08 changes.

You hit it on the spot.

It's all about traction, baby...

calle_enell · 07-11-2007, 05:33 PM

If the 328 comes with paddles on auto and sport in 2008, -does this mean that BMW gets rid of the GM sourced gearbox and puts the ZF even in 328s'?
If so, I will change to a 2008...

tl9015 · 07-11-2007, 05:41 PM

Lol I just got my car yesterday. I wish the 2008 model is not too different. I really wanted the paddles but weren't available. It would suck if the 08 models actually do get the zf and not gm for transmission. Also, could anyone post a picture of the chrome exhaust tips? the ones I have look chrome to me.

ska///235i · 07-11-2007, 05:42 PM

WOW....0.01 faster
lol

Who cares? They will be overpriced and heavy (probably 30-32) anyway.

There you go...

Not sure what the option is going to cost over 189s, but it might not worth the money, 189s look as good

sal501 · 07-11-2007, 09:58 PM

Any chance of a different 18 OEM wheel for 335 Coupe?

+1 The non ZSP 328xi loaner I have right now has those--not that big a fan. If they were 17's it might be better--but I am missing my 197s.
