Default SOME PICS OF THE 335D and report on how its going CHECK IT

some pics i took the other day when i took out my gf and my mother quickly

mother is the one outside the car and gf inside



another coupla pics from later on in the day



car is now 3months and a day old, and has 9k on it

love everything about it, the way it looks the colour the gorgeous porsche type 19" and there 255 section at the rear

weird how you can accelerate so fast with only 4.5k of revs which is quite astonashing really and it dosent stop pulling like a TRAIN, i hav done *** indicated in it chasing an fQ340 evo on the a private test track which couldnt pull away from me but i couldnt close on him equally, from a standing start he would waste me but as it was a rolling 70mph on it was pretty equal..


raced a few things now, i raced that v8 e9 m5 that no one beleived me that i stayd with but i did 4 times but only to just over the ton because we then had to brake

beat 2 wrx brand new subarus quite easily, pull past them both

one i raced to *** and he was in the distance giving chase after i overtook, the other was caining up my towns famous flat out uphill and i passed him on the outside quite easily

two e46 m3 were easy meat pushing them along, but i beleive the drivers had no clue how to drive them and im sure it would be far more equal if they used them properly, (in a striaght line anyay) round corners the m3 would have it easy.

as you know i went down the pod





and recorded a 13.9 @102mph which i was happy with

and would suggest a low 13 or a high 12 to the ton, which is m3 territory

i think if i had had few more runs and warmed the tyres thru a burnout and also launched higher than the 1.5k i was doing on my runs i could have done a mid 13

all this from a 3.0 tiwn turbo DIESEL


also there was 3 m3s there, incluing a CSL all of which couldnt beat a 14.0


fookin love it, my next aim is after a re-map get a 13.0 or a high 12 which i think is possible


its current stats are

286bhp and 428ib ft torque

after a re-map would be

340-350bhp and 530ib ft torque

thats a lot of torque think the v10 m5 'only' twists at 384ib ft

could be wrong tho.

great thing about this car is how effortless it is to go fast, no need to thrash the tits off it, jus thalf throttle and can overtake most common things without breaking a sweat, using the paddles definately makes for quicker acceleration

and when you are pressing on not many cars can live with it,

it has a really sorted chassis, rides lovely but also handles so well for a car without an lsd, the m3 will be amazing!!!!!!

also the sport seats are great, you can have the comfy armchair style cruise setting or can have the bolsters hold you tighter than recaros if your out for a cain


hope you like my story and my pics


i will let you know how it feels after the re-map
