was in my mate's 335 twin turbo diesel coupe, was strange, it had both exhausts on the left,in HK they are at both sides,
it sounded noisy at low speeds, lots of clatter, but from Lipstadt to cologne we hit 250 easy,
not stopping it, we killed a A4 unmarked but sounded like a big engine, like a knife thru butter
as you saw from the photo we topped 290km in the Maser, without much hassle.
