I have seen some to the 335i boys with Procede, exhaust, downpipes, and FMIC. Dyno at 390+ hp at the wheels, on 91 octane.
Shiv dynoed their car with 104 octane. 423whp and 397lb of torque, that is just amazing.
Terry ran his 135i JB3 car a few weeks back and ran 11.83@118.85.
The x35i engine is just a little beast.

Indeed. there are many factors involved. and to your point, the JB3 certainly has more power - both quoted and dyno. again, to me "peace of mind" and no limp modes is priceless!
but on that particular day, Dinan took out the JB3! and this was even with the JB3 having the jump.

Looking forward to hearing the outcome or seeing it maybe(video

The 335i is ~150 lbs lighter and has a few more hp due to a better flowing exhaust than a 535i. By removing the 535i spare and jack and going with lighter wheels the difference will be negligible.

did you try the saloon or the coupe?
I used to have a E46 and when I change to E60 I don't think I will go back to a small saloon car.
The only 3er I get is the 335i coupe Convertible nothing elas.

My brother drives a 335xi
Had a laugh last summer on a guy with a Yamaha yzf1000 Thunderbird. First he was humiliated on a curvy road and then on straight but quite narrow road in 240 km/h. That was beyond his currage anyways
