It might be a better run if you switch out those 20's to 18-19's to have a better chance.

335i will win, no question.
BMW likes to make people think the 335i has only 300hp. 335i easily puts out about 330hp at the crank.
Automobile dynoed a stock 335i, they calculated 350hp.
http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news...eter/index.html
"The non-turbocharged 330i, rated by BMW at 255 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque, puts about 200 hp and 180 lb-ft to the rear wheels. That's roughly a twenty-percent loss. Since they have similar drivelines, you'd expect the 335i to put down 235 hp and 250 lb-ft.
But it didn't. It put down a whole lot more: 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. A few quick taps on our trusty calculator shows that this engine is likely putting out closer to 350 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque."

I'm not sure we've established if the 545 would win or not, but what about the I6 vs. I6 of a 535 and a 335?
but at a running start the 535 might be faster with the whole energy theory
my friends 335i beat my friend's mom's 545 when he took it out, but hes not that good of a good driver either
