Hmmmm.... perhaps BMW gave a slightly massaged 335 to the press. Consistently running .5psi higher than normal... thats kind of suspicious to me. That or they REALLY have poor quality tolerances and margins if the cars coming off the line vary that much. If thats the case, I wouldn't buy a 335 unless I could hook up a boost gauge and put it on a dyno first.

Oh yea... and did they ever stop to think their E46 M3 Comp. Package was putting down the slowest numbers of probably any publication bar consumer reports. 0-60 in 5.5?? For an M3??? They keep on comparing it in awe to that 5.5 which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY slower than what normal E46 M3's were putting down. Keep on trying Edmunds...
