Penguin Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Oh, I agree. I'm speaking relative to my experience with a LGT with a pretty heavily modified suspension (RSB, chassis brace, coilovers). Throw the same kind of effort at the BMW and tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeTrout Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It's a lease. Thus no power, suspension, or brake mods. It's also my friend's. I can't let him modify it - my mods are the only things that let me keep up! Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 He could have the Dinan reflash done and it would be kosher with the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeTrout Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The lease has different terms. It's not a warranty. They are on a sticker on the driver's side windshield. Basically, you can't do anything to the car. You even have to replace the tires with the OEM tires. Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt!

AWD_Rules3830 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Driving around the 335 with the sport suspension; it can be a bit bouncy at times on certain roads. This being said that car went around a corner like a DREAM. Really tight and confidence inspiring. Nothing like the LGT. I have really started to think about tighting up the suspension on the LGT to improving the handling a bit after the bimmer. I love my car ... basically.

Jerboa113 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I love my LGT, but if I was given a $0 swap option for a new 335i.. I'd have to wish the LGT the best of luck and walk away.

RomanTaylor Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 BMW is a Ultimate Driving Machine. Drivers car. Top engineering. BMW FTW . 335i were aimed at people with no experience driving performance cars. You think Bugatti Veyron were made for F1 drivers? ~99% of American Drivers will be able to drive it. Try 135i, it's blast to drive, but I don't like the looks. You can kill yourself in any car by the way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should edit your post and post this instead. How's your LSB E46 M3 6MT Coupe treating you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 ^ At first I thought LSB stood for something special like a supercharger or something, alas it's "just" a color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psi365 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Since when is 300hp zomg a ton of power that will kill the worlds population? You see you can control the power with that long skinny pedal all the way to the right. Just cause you HAVE 300hp doesn't mean you NEED to use it at all times. It sounds like the OP was purposely pushing it and cause he pooped his pants that means no one in the entire world should yield such power. I drive (mind you awd) 300-400+hp cars all the time during the week. Honestly it gets boring after awhile. I also live in a state that the secretary of state was put in jail for selling licenses. A 335i is a lot less lethal then a 100+hp motorcycle. If anything people who own SUVs should be forced to go to a special driving school since they still think they can stop, take turns, and out accelerate things like they are still in a car.

fishbone Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 LSB is an awesome color and aside from black, it's the only one I'd own an M3 in. I was just giving you a hard time, as was heights We're certainly not those type of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I know this thread has gone off topic a bit, but figured I would chime in again anyway. Went with my buddy today to get a few dyno pulls on his 09 335i. 2 baseline runs came in at 274whp/294whtq. 2 runs with the "juicebox" on map 7, came in at 343whp/357whtq. This was done on a dynojet, SAE correction, smoothing set to 5 and 86 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to take a stab at what you were driving dude... really kind of sad that you thought that, hence the "Exploder" comment.. and are you suggesting because you posted that you now drive an E46 M3 you showed me or others up? That is funny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 and I love how everyone in here is the badass driver, while the initial point is that many people drive 300hp cars like the 335i and have no clue as to what they are doing (e.g., housewives), hence, it can be a danger for them vs. the highly trained Schumachers that are on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I agree with the original poster, people are stupid and scary, and car accidents are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US if I remember correctly. I remember doing traffic school (for 5 mph over on a street that where it became that speed in another 1/4 mile) and the instructor brought up an interesting point. She first asked the class of 30 how we would rate ourselves as drivers on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best. The average was 8.5 She then asked us to rate the other drivers on the road with the same scale The average was 4 I found that incredibly funny that a bunch of people in traffic school consider themselves great drivers and everyone else on the road is below average. I had another fun realization that day at the end of class when I realized that roughly 200 people would be leaving traffic school from the same parking lot. I found a nice shady spot and just watched as people cut each other off, honked, jumped curbs, and sped off, it's kinda impressive is a depressing sort of way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
