The car that replaced my 8

Can you guess?

Long story short, the insurance for the ISF was frickin rediculous (6500 a year) I couldnt take delivery of it.

This was more reasonable and it has more power to boot (Tuned ofcourse)

If the 8 came with this kind of HP/TQ it would be heaven, the 8 outhandles this thing Despite me having KW v3's and all the BMW Performance goodies on the car. But when she goes, it goes

Remember to get the BMW Performance Power Kit. It just got released this summer for 135i and 335i.

Gives 20+hp and 17lb/ft of torque.

Damn Kris!
You went all out and ordered everything in the BMW performance catalog! Must be nice to have money.

If this car didn't weigh so much and it had less electronics, I would probably be driving one. But alas...

I would buy this, but I already have the JB3 Tune / Riss Racing catted Down Pipes / Supersprint Exhaust, I want to buy the Active autowerks I/C this winter.

The car dynoed 397 RWHP and 417 LB FT of TQ. This was on Mustang Dyno.

Nope. 335i coupe with all the performance parts. Practically an M3, but much cheaper. Probably a little easier on fuel too... lol

You got it!

should be quicker than the stock M3, after Meth injection I/C and new tune next year. Maybe bigger snails later on down the road!

I seee...

I'm a big BMW Performance Parts Enthusiast lol

Anyways, you should really try the short shifter kit, it makes a huge difference and you should check out the BMW Performance 313 19inch Rims.... they're one of my favourite rims from BMW. The other rims i really love is the all black BMW rims. =)
