yea i noticed BMW aree focusing on safety and technoloy then performance but still now a days people only care about strait lines like dragging and 0-60

 

inline 6 twin turbo...
wow..

especially when the tuners get to it... itll be a beast....

 

I actually went and looked at one of those 335ci they look f***in sick. The guy at the dealer told me that each turbo is only capable of 5psi, and that stock they only push 3psi a piece. I don't know If dude was being honest or not. He said he learned that **** at some seminar. If thats the case, there doesn't seem much room for tuning, I mean, exhuast, a chip that can't up the boost much, maybe map A/F ratio different, and what else. An Intercooler, it already looks like the stock FMI is shoe horned into it's place. I don't think you'll see to much modding going on, atleast not in the next 2-5 years.

Think Warranty

 

i think the guy meant to say the car probly spikes at 5 psi and hold a constant of 3 psi but thats still low
what turbo can only make 5psi

 

Thats what he said bro. If you look at the engine diagrams you'll se there tiny little turbos...no joke.
I thought the same thing. But after looking at the brochures cut out of the engine I believe it

 

I hate bmw as much as i love audi with a passion but.....i wish audi would one up bmw for a change.

 

we have one upped them wit the RS4
thats only becasue they havent release their new M3 yet

 

As far as straight line speed is concerned, I don't think Audi has to worry too much. The RS4 isn't too far behind the new M5 (13.2 for the RS4 vs 12.7 for the M5), so BMW doesn't have too much room to improve on the RS4 without getting too close to making the M5 look like it should be faster. If the new M3 goes anything faster than 12.9 in the 1/4 stock, I'll be shocked and awed. And when you think about the M6 doing a 12.5, if the M3 got anywhere near that like a 12.7, there would be no reason at all to spend the extra money on an M6, and BMW is too smart of a company to sell cars that too closely compete with their other models.

So that puts them in a tough spot because they would want to beat the RS4 by as large a margin as possible, but they can't make it too fast or they'll cut into the sales of their more prestigious, more expensive cars. Bad for BMW, good for Audi.

 

^^^Interesting take. I'll bet you're right.

 

time to bring the 2.7TT back.
