yea the 7 was my dream car... so when I found a 7 shell only I took that chance with a quickness! granted the rotary engine sounds nice... but I don't have the time or money to keep replacing the apex seals...

have you ever driven an ISF?? Not saying the bimmer is slow but the F is pretty damn fast especially when you run the motor all the way to red line. I know those bimmers and crazy torque though

I came from a tuned/full bolt on 335 runnin on e85 mix. It was definitely faster than my current F. But the 335 broke down all the damn time. It stranded me twice in 2 months. Hence why I sold her and moved to my F.

Like I always say there are great cars to drive and there are great cars to own. The ISF is both. The bimmers are only the first

I've ran against a Slush-box 335 with Tune and I/Down-Pipes/E in a C63.... I didn't have a chance. I don't think an ISF would fair better. Only thing I can take away is that his turbos eventually blew.

Since I work literally 1 mile from Terry @ Burger Tuning, I used to run all his latest and greatest tunes. JB3, JB4 ect.
With just a tune only, a 335i is no match for a stock IS-F top end. My stock IS-F feels like it pulls way harder up top than my 335i with a JB4 only. Tune only 335i should trap about 108-110ish in the 1/4. IS-F known to trap 114+ stock.
Even when I was eventually running AA downpipes, FMIC, meth, intake it wasn't crazy fast or anything. I probably would have pulled a stock IS-F no problem but not as bad as you think. It had gobs of midrange pull but top end never really felt exciting like the IS-F does.
My memory is sorta cloudy since that thing was a pile of **** and almost killed me on 3 occasions (Thanks HPFP "high pressure fuel pump") numerous VANOS issues, wastegate problems, turbo problems, electronic problems. I also think it sounded terrible, other 6 cylinder twin turbos sound great when you open them up, Supra, GT-R ect. The N54 in the 335i just sounds awful.
I must admit, I was a complete a total **** when I had my 335i, LOL. I think you just have to fit into the stereotype when you buy the car.
The brand brings out the worst in people for sure....

Ran a modified 335i after leaving the drag strip. He pursued and I could tell he thought he was going to win. He was wrong lol. I have headers/exhaust and pulled a couple car lengths in a fairly quick rolling start.

I think 335i's are slowly reclaiming the jive turkey's attention from Audis and Infiniti G35/37s.
The fact of the matter is that 335i's are getting pretty cheap, and they're really cheap to tune. Hell, if you just run e85 and a tune, you're probably going to get 350 horse at the wheels (nearly what a stock ISF puts down, IIRC), and you can get to 400 WHP on an exhuast, intake, injectors, and tune.
The only problem is that their components can barely handle aggressive driving at their stock power output, and you're basically guaranteed to blow up something up at 400 horsepower without a few grand of supporting mods (a few grand in parts, another grand or three to install them).
If I had the garage space, I'd pick up the first 335i manual Sedan I saw for less than $6500 and drop in an e85 fuel system, exhaust, intake, headers, and tune it. Or that's what I tell myself.
But facts aside, they're driven pretty agressively. One time I flashed my high beams on a 335i which was holding up traffic in the left lane - let it be known I was on my FJR1300, a bike that runs about a 10.5 in the quarter - and it didn't budge. A little while later, I got the chance to pass on the right, and the dang BMW started dropping gears. It was trying to race me. Heh. I dropped a gear and rolled on the throttle, hitting 100 before the turbos on the BMW even spooled up.
Gave the turkey a little wave buh-bye as I blasted away.
That said, I always wave at cool Lexii (the LSs, ISFs and moddes ISs, and once at an LFA but I didn't get a wave back which is a bummer) so wave back! I got you, dawg.

I pulled up to a 5.0 mustang the other night and was cruising with him. I hit the throttle and bumped 2 car lengths ahead of him. So he then went to line up with me again but I was in the merging lane at an exit and he hits the throttle and speeds off. Shame, I really wanted to see what my car would do to that 5.0
I had one doing the punch the gas and let off punch the gas and let off last night but there was way too much traffic to do anything. I would have liked to see what the F would do against a newer mustang.
