If you google 335i quarter mile time you ll see a 13.3 quarter all day, there was one that clocked it doing 13.2 but i can't find it. There's the linky the 13.3 1/4 from Edmunds: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=117669

R&T December Issue for G35 sedan times:
But in case you do get the inkling to go fast, the G35 will not disappoint. The revitalized VQ powerplant now pumps out 306 bhp at 6800 rpm and 268 lb.-ft. of torque at 5200, allowing the Infiniti to race to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and to the quarter mile in 13.9. That’s quicker than the last 350Z we tested. As impressive as the engine is, the rest of the drivetrain isn’t up to the same stand- ards. A high amount of vibration resonates through the 6-speed manual gearbox, and the take-up point of the clutch is like an on/off switch, making it nearly impossible to leave the line smoothly.

R&T December Issue for IS350 Times:

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 tires grab hold immediately, and the IS 350 leaps off the line. For our best acceleration runs, we left the transmission in full auto mode, letting the computer perform the upshifts, which it did quickly and smoothly at or near the 6600-rpm redline. The Lexus blasted to 60 mph in 4.9 sec. and to the quarter-mile mark at a blistering 13.5, which bests even the more expensive V-8-powered Audi S4.

Google searching for the 1/4 mile times of an 335i isnt exactly gonna get you accurate information unless it's from a trusted source

In your first post, you stated the IS350 ran the 1/4 mile in 13.4 seconds, now your stating 13.5. Make up your mind, or atleast state the facts.

You also stated in your first post that the 335i ran the 1/4 mile in 13.2, now you're stating 13.3;

Makes me wonder why you're changing the numbers you first stated which are in fact way off from the truth

Trust me, there isnt a single 335i out there that can run 13.2 STOCK; not only is that BS, its much faster than the current M3's performance which consistanly gets ~13.5 for the 1/4 mile. The current M3 and 335i are similar in performance, with the exception that the M3 performs better than the 335i froms rolls (top-end power).

Also, R&T has been the only mag that has been so critical of the 07 G35 Sedan, so I would look elsewhere for information. Most mags have rated the 07 G35 Sport at 5.2 seconds, 13.8 1/4 mile.

Theres also a thread in here where somebody took a stock 07 Sedan to the drag strip for the first time and trapped a 13.7 @ 104 MPH... so I wouldnt be surpriced to see the 07 G35 Sedan reach 13.5 with alot of practice (magazines tend to have some conservative numbers, but they serve as a good reference point or comparisons).

Bottom point, the 335i is faster than both the 07 Sedan and IS350, but not by that much. The IS350 and 07 G35 are really similar when it comes to performance.

.

 

why are you guys so certain the new coupe will be faster than the IS and for that matter faster than the 07 sedan??? Aren't 03-06 sedans = to 03-06 coupes in terms of hp/tq only thing different is weight where coupes weigh more than sedans....

 

True... The sedans are suppose to be as fast as the coupes, but for some odd reason, mags always get much better times on the coupe then the sedan. Dont ask me why, but for whatever reason that's just the way it is. (I only use magazine's for direct comparisons or as a performance reference point)

Best I've seen for the 1st generation sedan was 5.9 second 0-60, with a 1/4 mile of 14.5

Best I've seen for the Coupe is 5.5 second 0-60, with a 1/4 mile of 14.1

(Im not really aware of the statistics the 02-06 Sedans are getting on the drag-strip since I really have not researched it.)

I guess they use a grandma driver for the sedan and a male enthusiast for the coupe in their road tests???

Even though theoretically they should perform the same, I wouldnt be surpriced for the 08 G35 coupe to be "faster" than the sedan.

Couple of things that you and every reader must consider when reading my posts on this specific thread:
1. I made a disclaimer about the times that listed in my initial posts. "Please allow for a +/- of .01 as each magazine tests in different environments."
2. The .01 difference is extremely small relative to a quarter mile test that you should be intelligent enough to understand that it is really the same thing. It is so small, in fact, that if you just change the elevation of the test track or road, or temp./moist. you will see the change; most of the time the difference is even more than a .01. Everyone who has been to multiple tracks will understand what I am saying. Here up North its Infineon and Mazda Speedway that drivers will experience this type of difference.
3. The times I've listed are the fastest times I have seen for each car. I do not want to spend hours looking for the exact links for the exact times that I've listed. These times are close enough to what my original claim was and it literally took me seconds to find. Edmund, the BMW source, was the first link that popped up in my Google search. And R&T for the Lexus and G35 is from the same article.
4. If you are really that **** about the .01 I will revise my statement to say:
BMW 335i 13.3, Lexus IS350 13.5, and G35 Sport 13.9 as proven by the links I have provided in previous post. *Sarcasm* I know this is a HUGE difference from my original claim of 13.2, 13.4, 13.9. Thanks for wasting an hour of my life.

 

TRIG, I only brought the .1 difference to bring up your credibility.

Once again, there isnt a single 335i that can do 13.2 stock, no matter whar elevation or temperate/humidity (atleast for now).

Your claiming I'm being **** and wasted an hour of your life? Well, atleast state factual information...

.1 isnt a noticeable difference, but the point I was trying to make was the lack of your knowledge of the subject.

Not sure why you're getting so defensive. everyone needs to be corrected sometimes, including myself (just not in this case) .

There was a thread about chipping the 335i coupe not too long ago (linkies below). The article demonstrated that any 335i owner with $1,300 can get a simple software mod to the BMW and instantly get a cool 60hp as well as a significant addition to torque. More aggressive mods will follow and the Beemer will surely break into the 12 sec mark without any changes to the turbo or engine internal; probably just increasing the boost in both turbos

Of course you can boost the HP in any turbocharged engine by getting a new chip, but why don't you think the manufacturers of these cars max out the HP in their engines? The answer is engine durability. BMW must warrant their cars for 4yrs/50K miles. The engine HP output in their cars is therefore restricted to meet that durability requirement. I always thought that anyone who would invalidate the warranty on a $45K+ car just to reduce their 1/4 time by a few tenths is brain dead.

 

WOW! I am speachless with the lack of thought that goes into your post. Good job Amigo!

My lack of knowledge is derived from the .1 sec difference in the quarter mile time? WOW, that's a joke right?

You don't think that temp or elevation changes a car's quarter mile time? HA!

And you further think no stock 335i does the quarter in 13.2 which is .1 less than what R&T claims?

First off no one's knowledge of cars is based on .1 seconds difference in quarter mile time. You brought up that difference because you wanted to prove that I don't know my facts on the BMW 335i? First off you don't know me and shouldn't assume things that aren't true. I used to own a E46 3-series and was into the BMW thing for a bit. If it wasn't for the fact that I bought a condo last year I would be driving a E46 M3 instead of my 06 6mt coupe. I actually spend more time on E46fanatics and E90posts than I do here, so its safe to asumme that I know my BMWs a bit better than you do. The fact is that the majority of M3 drivers over at E46Fanactics claim that the stock E92 335i is faster from a rolling start than their M3s and just as fast as the M from a standing start. Let's stop there for a minute and let you and all the readers think about that for a bit. An E46 M3 does the quarter anywhere from 13.1-13.3 depending on the magazine. The only thing that the E92 lacks is a LSD so it's not as fast around a track as a M but on the streets it's a driver's race. Here's an owner ( not a professional driver) doing a 13.4 in both cars (he owns both). NOTICE THEY RAN ALMOST EXACT TIMES.

I wonder why he lists the temperature and elevation of his test. Hmmmmmm....I wish someone would let me the answer. *Sacarsm*

 

repost mothafuka!

 

 

I think you better re-read my post, because I never stated that elevation and temp cant change the results. I mean c'mon, even my dog knows that. What I stated was "there isnt a single 335i that can do 13.2 stock, no matter whar elevation or temperate/humidity (atleast for now)".

Let me rephrase my quote for you, as you obviously cant read. No matter the elevation or temperature, even if the elevation is at sea level and with a cool temperature, a 335i should not be able to hit 13.2 STOCK. Get it know?

Just a piece of advice: Learn how to read before you bash me on something you mis-read.

(I bet you feel pretty stupid now...)

.

 

*Scarasm* I feel really really stupid now because you are so smart and your writing talents and reading comprehension far excedes mine.

Now that's out of the way here's something I forgot to mention about the link I gave earlier on 335i performance times. Edmund's quarter times of the 335i of 13.3 second was based on an automatic transmission version and it was tested in LA. Now imagine that the thing was manual and tested here in Norcal. Well after the tests, here's what the senior editor, Ed Hellwig, said about it about that:

The 335i may have only 300 hp, but it torched the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds and hit 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. With an automatic. The last Ferrari F430 we tested only beat it to 60 mph by two-tenths. And what's the M3's extra 100 or so horsepower going to get you? A couple of tenths, maybe? Then consider the 335i's optional six-speed manual. Not only does it offer the possibility of even faster acceleration times, it's guaranteed to be better than the M3's dreaded SMG setup.

If what he said is true, I wonder what would be better/faster than a 13.3 quarter. Oh, I know! A 13.2 !

So now tell me why a 335i can't hit a 13.2 on the quarter mile?

 

hahahaha

didn't take long for this thread to get slammed
