Cool, I was hoping keep the existing sound or even go a little deeper. Good to know it'll sound stock-ish.

It's pretty quick as is, and the only real gripe I have is that the acceleration seems to die off on the top end. It feels like it has more pull from 3000- 5500 or so than 5500 to redline. Am I imagining things? I don't know what I was thinking, I got an automatic instead of manual, so stomping the pedal almost always puts me into the upper rpm range. Sort of irritating that I can't shift early to avoid the dead zone. :banghead:

I'm guessing a DP won't really help much in that area, but it sounds like the gateway mod to raise your boost levels and add on more goodies.

Yes the DP's help out the sound, again - you'll be pleased there.

I think the DP's help mostly directly off of the line - I mean - you ghost other cars REALLY fast w/ JB4+DP's. Super fast off of the line. Your spool is basically from a stop. But yeah - I know - sometimes they feel like they're TRYING to offer more power upper end speeds (and you're certainly getting plenty of satisfaction, still) BUT you just know there is more there that is capable of being unlocked/unleashed - I know what you're saying and no - no you're not imagining that.

Keep this up and I'll be online talking cars with you until 6AM LMAO.

oh yeah - that's true - I didn't even think of that - but still will help.

Are you getting some nice pull from the JB4? I would add it to this one - however I have that same twin-turbo set up w/ much less weight - I just can't justify it - esp. after that ticket. :( This car would be much faster than the 335i if it TOO were tuned - but as for now - the 335 would demolish this stock version of it's smaller sibling.
I dig the JB4. It made a huge improvement from the stock acceleration of course. I managed to get not one but two traffic tickets in one week a few months back. One in the BMW and the other on a motorcycle. That's what you call a bad week. Neither were too bad at least.

I've been a little easier on the pedal since then. Luckily since I live near the outskirts of the city, there are some nice roads with prairies on each side that provide an opportunity to let it loose on occasion.

I looked for a nice 135 around KC. At the time all I could find were 335s. The few 135s I did look at were beat up. Not sure why- guessing maybe they appealed more to younger drivers?

probably - I <3 the 235/m - have you seen it yet? also - the 435 is sweet.

No, I hadn't. Low 13s in the 1/4 mi bone stock? That's not too shabby. It's got the N55 engine though, which I shied away from because it wasn't supposed to be as tuneable. I guess time will tell though- they seem to get more out of them once the warranties start expiring. ;)

yes - I was told by TopSpeed in Alpharetta Ga - that they can't yet tune the 435's - but they'll figure them out - I believe they're straight single turbos. I don't remember for sure.

I don't know what model it was, but about a year ago I was behind a 2 door M series at a stop light. It sounded good,...then he gOt on it when the light turn green. ....holy ****ing shit it sounded incredible. And it took the **** off. Never heard a car sound like that lol.

It was a bigger sized coupe..

it may've been a m5 - but I tell you - from a performance standpoint 3 series are where it's at - & mind you this is w/o me having driven either the 235i or the 435i, which are still really new.

Possibly. As a normal American V8 guy, I was smitten. :evil:

I've been eying M3s for a while...just that everyone around here has them. Here's one of my rides..951 turbo..****er moves. She's a beauty..almost 30 years old. 50/50 weight..fantastic car.

BTW..your new BMW is sweet..that's a fast car. I almost bought a M roadster.

If it was large coupe could likely have been the last model M6 with a normally aspirated V10 which sounds excellent.
