My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
If you get a bazooka, you've gotta be able and willing to use it. Most 535 "drivers" are no match for me and my 525xI. Yes, I know the car is far more superior, but it does not mean the driver is......

87 325is
85 VW GTI
so BMW is only pumping out an additional 45hp with twin turbos? Sounds like a few good mods and a tune can have you chasing down a stock 535i.

Don't let BMW fool ya. It has been widely proven through dynos that the x35 turbo cars are a bit underrated by BMW. Wheel HP has been around 275 for these cars (accounting for drivetrain losses, thats about 325-330 at the crank. Around 30+ more HP than advertised!)
