For whole first gear I was keeping up with him, and as soon as i shifted to 2nd he started pulling away.. and by time i shift into 3rd he was about car length ahead.. Maybe my shifting was horrible.. Do I suppose to have any chance against him? Or is this normal..

Now if this guy happened to have an XEDE or other turbo mod then there's no contest to begin with.

Guys, the 335i is nothing to **** with, it's damn fast! I spent almost 3,700 mi in one, in two weeks, in many driving scenarios including tracking at the Nurburgring. The car finally gets back the US and the first day he picks it up, my bro, the little punk that he is, picks a race with a G35 coupe. Before you knew it we hit 140mph and the coupe was left in the dust trying to keep up. That said, I still would like someone with an FI coupe to shut up my bro's braggin @$$ already. Any takers?

thought it was for mercedes, no?
btw, you forgot one of the biggest one, hartge
stage 0 335 will eat E46 M3 alive according to vishnu xede

"No where near" ?? I mean, come on man.
Keep in mind that 300hp is by the new SAE power rating.

Without going FI, or some serious engine mods...no way. If you want to compare numbers compare the tq. the 335 has >300lb*ft tq at 1500RPM all the way to redline. I test drove one and by the time you let out the clutch and start rolling you are pretty much at full boost , they have so much power. It was really a fun car to drive. I wish my '06 Couple felt close to that...

Hey, it's OK to be proud of our G's. I am. But I'm not oblivious either. Give respect where it's due. Both are great cars. For now the 335i is faster. Until the '08 coupe.....maybe
