Kind of a dumb thread, one's an M car and one isn't - I don't think the next generation 3 series will be faster than the E46 M3..
AJ, sounds like you're a good sport. Any way, I'm sure e36M3 owners now respect the e90 330i just as much as e90 330i's should respect the e36M3. You have to admit though that on any normal day on any normal race (where cars don't get a chance to go up to insane speeds), the e36M3 is more than a handful for the e90, and vice-versa. It's definitely not like the e46 330i which you have beat and posted numerous kills on.Originally Posted by Blue330i2006
With a few simple mods, the E92 335 will probably be faster then the E46 M3Originally Posted by MrS54

Weak...should have just went right for the V10Originally Posted by Blue330i2006
The V8 is supposed to be the V10 with two cylinders lopped off. Is that close enough? Maybe an enterprising soul can weld them on...Originally Posted by jrhaile
JRHAILE,
More videos??!

First time I ever did 100+ was with my dad in a 93 FD RX7... and that was when it was brand new and I'm 22.Originally Posted by cstang68
The driving wasn't TOO risque, She was safe...not to mention she's in a BMW of all things. It's not like she was doing 150 in a Honda
The video is on Page 4.
cool vid.
the 335i will be a new benchmark though. which makes me think..
535i????

More like right for the V12Originally Posted by jrhaile
But I think the e90 only edged the e36 cause he puts his windows up!!! haha j/k
Nice runs, I'm glad I'm no longer stock....
Yeah, I just think that at >120mph, the e90 does have better aerodynamics, and it didn't help that Mitchell (in the e36) still had his sunroof open. However, under 120mph, it's pretty even, with the slightest edge going to the e36 (as already stated by jrhaile). Once again, good runs!!Originally Posted by BaLLZacK
Other runs were done with my windows and sunroof closed. Similar results each time.
James is making more videos as we speek. Be patient. The E90 is the Ultimate Driving Machine.......for the money.....lest we all hail the M6!!!

mitchelrl, i like your head unit. i just bought an alpine cda-9856 for my gti.
back on topic.
the races were def. interesting! i wasn't expecting that! the new 330 seems to be pretty stout.
btw, jrhaile, would you consider the new 3 series coupe?
bmw has some grat engines in the pipeline, and it will soon be a reality when new non M bimmers take out the mighty e46 m3. case and point, the new 550i which runs a 13.5...some e46 m3's run that. maybe we will soon have an equivalent 325i that wil keep up with the e36 m3. the horizon look bright folks!

That is a fact!
$peed doe$ though co$t money, how fast do you want to go?$?
very true! personally, i plan on buying an e46 m3 at some point after the release of the new m3. prices will be down, and i'll have enough $$$ saved for some nice FI...yes, FI. i'll need it to keep those pesky 550's away from me!
ha. my friends has a brand new 330i 6 speed manaul. its very nice, but not fast.
i can put a few CL's on him by a quarter mile everytime, its been well documented. and hes a better driver than i am.
Great video. I-90 near Preston?
I should try and hook up with you guys some time. And yes, it is an ultimate driving machine. My wife and I were coming back to the Eastside from dinner tonight downtown and merging onto 90 eastbound from I-5 (The big five lane curve)...I do a quick push through the lanes at about 70mph and she blurts out..."that's why I love this car, the acceleration is so smooth, it's an awesome machine. This is a lot given that she hasn't ever been a "car person", now she's eyeing a 650.
