BMW


How would I stand against a BMW 3-Series? It's either an 03 or 04. I have no clue what sub model it is. I know it has the flashier stock ground affects, at least it's more than some have. It's a 5-speed.

if your car runs a 16.5 like listed in your avi, you will get owned! Those BMWs have very nice powerbands

the 335i is a TT inline 6. which will own you. the other 3series will give you a run for your $$ bc of the nice powerband. the can accelerate nice and smoothly. 2dr or 4 dr, not that it matters atht much, and coupe or vert?

just watch out for the 1 series (debuting soon), the 335i (2dr & 4dr), the 5 series, the M series, the Z coupes, and the new mini cooper s bc they are now turbod with a straight exhaust(easy to just turn up the boost--factory is still slow, but they are nimble and lightweight), no bs of the battery dead center in the trunk, and the exhaust going around it on both sides.
