2005 BMW E46 ///M3 vs 2007 BMW 335i (Race 2)

My stock 2005 M3 with Intake, 19 inch wheels (275/30/19 tires) vs stock 2007 335i with stock 18's. 0-110mph run. M3 messes up launch and 335i gets the jump.

So does your boss at CARMAX always let you street race with company inventory?

335i is fast, really fast and comparable to e46 m3 in a straight line, but E46 M3 is just better handling, sharper, firmer suspension and everything else. Both are great car, but in the end of day, I would walk away with E46 M3....wait, i just did that last month :D

@IHCrusader7 I'm with you 100 hundred percent on this! I had an E92 3.25I and decided to get an E46 M3 convertible, dont regret it at all!!!!

@IS350King If both cars are stock I just wonder how 335 could be even equal fast as it as 40 bhp less power and assumingly weighs more??

M3 all day...

M is M

Are you guys tards? there is no passenger in the M3 whereas the 335i had a fat passenger with video camera. m3 pulled on it that much because of this. Put the passenger in the M3 and no passenger in the 335i and you will see 335i slightly pull on it. both should be very very close stock for stock with no passengers. you guys are newb...

I loved the N54 in my 135i, but things such as oil that didn't take long to overheat, no LSD from the factory, throttle lag (not to be confused with turbo lag), and a suspension setup for run flats made mall out of love. I miss the turbo torque and some of the modern touches of the E8/9Xs, but there is something about an M car STOCK that at least for me makes me happier than any new BMW (the E9X M3s excluded). There is an aura to M cars and I don't regret the "downgrade" to an E46 M3.

Enjoy having your oil overheat after just a couple of laps in the 335i. NA engines are better for the track. The M3 is a true track car. The 335i is a blvd cruiser.
