no they won’t… they’ll be like 350whp at best before you start dumping tons of money into them. ---

Dinan’s conservative flash brings the 335 to 384/421 at the crank for $2k and you still have a warranty. ---

Anyone know more about the “active steering” option. Would it be worth $1,400? On paper it sounds great but do you really notice a difference? ---

Its gotten mixed reviews on larger cars… but more favorable then not, iirc. I don’t imagine it’d be as handy in such a light car. Speaking of, what the curb weight on this thing? ---

I can’t believe at 300 hp and 3373lbs it only gets 25mpg hwy. I swear when i drove my f-bod from Buffalo to Seattle i was getting about 27mpg and i was driving crazy. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > and thom… where are these 400whp stock turbo pump gas 335i’s you’re talking about… I want you to prove me wrong to I can go trade my car in this weekend. you suck, I am working on finding some one that is currently hosting the chart, its not on the original post anymore Hey gang, For kicks I decided to throw a dual cone air filter setup on the car to see what it would do. In the process I might have set a 335i record for the most power for the least dollars spent. Here is the mod sheet: JB2HR: $499 UR DP: $550 Cone air filters: $80 Total: $1129 Everything else on the car including catback, 2nd cats, resonator, diverter valves, etc is all stock. Only other mod is K1 rims w/ drag radials @ 28psi tire pressure. The car doesn’t even have the golf tee mod. The car is using the factory boost control system with one solenoid bypassed, and boost was very steady across the board with a light roll off to redline. No spikes, camel bumps, boost bombs, or surprises. Runs 16 & 17 are the normal JB2HR with the new air intake. Power jumped up to 392rwhp/432rwtq! Boost spiked to 15.5psi and held around 14. Then for runs 18 & 19 I decided to throw in a second hot pill (not suggested!), and power jumped up to 402rwhp/453rwtq!!! Boost spiked to 16.5psi and held around 15. Ambient temp was 65 degrees and the correction factor was 2% EDIT: there is this, tune/exhaust, stock diverter stock front mount NOTICE THE AMBIENT TEMP OF 85° in south fl. ---

that’s impressive and all… but at the end of the day around 350-380whp is the legit number most people will have on a daily basis with these mods. claiming a solid 400whp daily is a reach ---

> [@theblue](#): > > even some people who work for BMW have said they only do it because the market demands it. Because the average american believes that if they live anywhere that recieves more than an inch of snow they need awd. Get a good set of winter tires on a rwd car and you will be able to get anywhere. ---

> [@93z24](#): > > Thing is sexy. > > What do these go for? Someone on The Car Lounge said the one he ordered, fully loaded, was $44304. I would punch myself in the face over and over again if I paid $44K for this car. Jeager, I saw one in Toronto and i still don’t know if I like it or not, I don’t think I do. I have to say though that it felt very very nice inside the car, well laid out.
