Why no e90 335 in that comparison?

Cuz if the 335 came in it would have blown the doors off even the IS!

The Motor Trend performance specs for the 2004 545.

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/luxury...llac_specs.html

-0-60: 5.4 Sec
-1/4 mile: 13.7 Sec @ 102.1 MPH

What Mods can we do to get under 5 seconds?

Motor Trend does not correct for weather and altitude - their numbers therefore can not be used for comparison.

Motor Trend does correct for temp and altitude.Road & Track does not correct.I have logged some 0-60 runs of less than 5 seconds even when corrected for weather & altitude.My 545I is completely as it came from BMW.I Don't have the sport package and I still have the Goodyear RSA tires.
