What does the BMW have mods wise? Is it an auto or a stick?

myfakeevo

its a 230hp tank

if you know how to drive, you will win

RyRidesMotox

Ahh ya but wee have zeee panzers yaaa! Vee blow you all up yaaa weeth out tanks yaa!!!

My mom had a 330I and it was slow as hell compared to my stock TC, you got the 328 unless its modified.

I raced a 328 on the freeway, no exhaust upgrades, and a hellaflush suspension setup from what i could tell. I smoked it like it was standing still, I'm making 260 to the wheels though

Run him youll get him. My buddy had an 02 (I think) 328 5spd and he only put 2 1/2 car lengths on my 2.4 auto. And all I had done at the time was a header and intake.

RyRidesMotox

Can you take him now?

Wont ever know. Bmw bought the car back from him due to that model having rust issues or something. When I ran him though id get him from a dig and hold him off till 60-70 and then hed go buy me (stupid 4t45 3rd gear....)

xi is all wheel drive so from a dig he has you but i dunno for how long lol

Honestly unless hes will to do an aggressive launch in that 3 series (doubtful ) I think if the cobalt can hook up it will win especially with the 3 series being an awd model. At higher speeds that awd system wont help him it will start to hurt him.

Lets put it this way when my 2000 Eclipse GT was stock (with an air filter...) It put 3 car lengths on a 99 328 5spd sedan with a dinan intake.

BartSS

well yeah in a roll it hurts for sure but he doesnt have to worry about his launch. All im sayin lol

true though I doubt the awd system in that car is meant or built for high rpm dumps and a normal 328 doesnt really have much in the way of traction issues.

Just watch out for the bmw 335s the new ones also have an overboost mode on them.

RyRidesMotox

And the M3 or M5. They are beasts.

CordiaDOHC

Yeah I didnt mention those are those are much easier to spot. The 335s are harder to spot (the dual exhaust helps) but otherwise unless its the new ci or whatever (the one that looks closer to an m3) they arent that easy to tell apart. But are 300hp stock and are like LNF's (or almost any boosted vehicle to be honest) they respond amazingly to tunes and exhaust.

How about you go try one with 10 cylinders?

overboost? haha since when do they even have boost

most people that think they are hot stuff with them are running that worthless straight 6 from the 90s

CordiaDOHC

335 models are turbo models.

And they now have turbo v8 models as well. (so does benz for that matter... the 63's are now twin turbo 5.5L v8s)
As far as that worthless 6. They got that worthless 6 cylinder to over 300+ hp Naturally aspirated older on M3 models.

Like others have said, you should not have a problem. Just watch out for 335's. If they have full both ons, and meth they are about 420whp. Not many with upgraded turbos out there yet, but there are some pushing 500 whp.
