How much faster is the 135i than the 335i?

Might actually be slower, the 1 has a 3.08 diff ratio.

So does the 335i

135i

i think it will be a 12 sec car!!!!

how fast is the 335i in the 1/4? Isn't it a mid 13? If so, and the 135i is lighter then I would imagine it being a mid to low 13 car but I would not bet that it is a 12 sec car from the factory. Now you put a procede or vishnu tune on it then YES!

vishnu sucks

IMHO it will be high 12 or low 13 stock.

I do not see 12's in the future for a stock 1, not even a tii

The BMW M3 is making 114 HP, that is over 100 more then the 3.0TT motor, plus much more torque.

But these are just opinions, I am trying to be realistic.

I am pretty sure thats a typo? But yes I agree low 13's to 13flat is more likely.

I was saying the M3 has 114 more HP then the 3.0 motor

it is like 414 SAE...... for the M

Considering that the 335i weighs a couple hundred pounds more than the 135i and it can do the 1/4 in lowish 13s stock, I do not see why a 135i couldn't get into the very high 12s stock.

Oh ok yea i read that out of context.

this is all well and good, but everyone can agree that with any of the stage 0 tuner chips, it should hit high 12's no problem :) (and being on an enthusiast's forum, i think a majority of them will be chipped :) )

we can only hope..........:rolleyes

Some people will certainly get into the 12s stock.

I would have my doubts without Drag radials and or slicks!! Without a true limited slip, traction will be a big issue getting off the line with stock tires.
We will know soon enough..

e46 M3's getting 12's is not the norm is it??

No, E46 M3s are low 13-second cars. Only a few have made it into the 12s stock.

That's what I thought. I took a new 335i out today for a test drive. It's fast as hell...but I dont think your going to see any 12's out of it. My 390hp Cobra only manages high twelves and its a whole lot more grunt than the 335i.

With a few mods and some traction...12's will not be that hard with the 135.

Not that it matters much, but the 335 has more torque than the M3 (300 vs 295 for the M3).

out of the box it'll be a low 13 second car.

.1 or .2 seconds faster than the 335i, 200 lbs weight savings helps, but not that much. Maybe with DR's we see 12's stock, but not on oem rubber imo. Should be real easy to get it to a 12 second car though with just a few mods and flash or piggy-back.

did I come to the wrong site? Do people routinely drag race these cars?

^yes. bimmers are drag only, especially open diff 135's, you may want to cancel your 135 order. the discussion is nothing more than speculation on what sort of performace the 135 will have out of the box vs its bigger brothers.

384 hp / 421 lb-ft. with Dinan software should get you into the 12's. That car pulls like hell!

my guess is stock it will trap 104-106ish.

times will depend on driver but I'd guess high 13's for most people.

This is the dumbest thread ever. Just wait for the car to come out...

335i 13.5 1/4 mile
135i 13.3 1/4 mile

Thats 1320 feet sir.

DINAN Software and it will run with the new M3.....

I bet it will rape 1 with it just having a tune.

all this talk about rape and 1/4 mile times is really starting to give my a chubby.. please, continue with this thread, this is better than the not safe for work threads:hacker <me glued to my computer screen.

Im sorry but the m3 may have 114 more horsepower but it actually has 5 less lb ft of torque than the 335i. Its rated at 295 lb ft when the 335i has 300
