They have lag? I’ve driven BFol’s 335xi and it pulls like a freight train as soon as it gets past 1800rpm :lol
Idk about that, maybe upper 3k area
When you have degreed 4 camshafts (in one engine), come back and talk to me…
Travis (owner of a 1400HP 4 cam engine)
degreeing 2 cams that are easy to get to sucks… let alone the modular motors
you do realize that lag defines the area of the powerband where the motor is naturally aspirated, so by definitition you would have it actually the entire time.
To add to the argument, when your car out of “lag” makes the same horsepower as the NA car at the same RPM and then turbo kicks in, it will feel laggy and slower then the NA until boost, but will not actually have any sort of power decrease comparing the powerbands.
However lag on the track = fail. (Track with turns).
Go on…
We’re not talking about 2 identical motors, one with a turbo, one without. We’re talking about a 5.0L V10 and a 4.4L TT V8 making roughly the same power.
540 > 500… :nod
People get 540 out of the V10 with an intake. I dont think BMW would have trouble bumping the power to equal levels even if they used the same engine next time.
then we can talk about turning up the boost on the FI engine… :nono
I’m just giving you a hard time, I don’t really care since I’ll never own one of these cars ;D
It’s been made pretty public that BMW would be making this transition though for fuel economy/efficiency’s sake.
I drove a 335i as a loaner when my mom’s 645ci was in the shop.
Thing moved pretty good and was nice to drive. With a chip that would be a quick car.
Fully aware. When I stop coming up with rebuttals I’ll drop it…like right now. :shifty
quitter
Houlihans for lunch?
The one at the mall?
Totally.
Edit: NM, I’ll take it to text msgs, FINE.
I was going to head to the mall anyways soon.
