yea its crazy, i'm looking forward to seeing what it will make on a DD

on the freeway I don't even really need to down shift....plenty of torque down low...just gotta give it like 30% throttle in 6th gear and I pass with ease.

if I do down shift and floor it i'm @ like 130 in no time..so i try not to do that

I gave Bryan (@ gst) the keys after we dyno'd it...I told him it was cool to get on it...he floor it in second and the *** end broke loose just by getting on it

later we realized that we forgot to turn the traction control back on (we had it off when it was on the dyno)

Perhaps someone as lucid and eloquent as yourself should write for them?

I am not taking sides, but everyone has to admit the first part of the article is ghey (not that there's anythign wrong with that). Cheerleaders? Shiv exercising his charm on your car? LMAO it's pretty funny, you have to admit.

Hahah thanks again for the 'test drive' Zoeb!

It's a really nice car. Very smooth with the KW's and the power delivery is very smooth as well. It's a deceivingly quick car as there isn't the noise association there that most of us are used to.

I bet these things sound nice and perform even better with upgraded exhausts.

Yeah thanks Zoeb (I was shotgun for Bryan's "test drive") and I totally agree with Bryan's write up of the car. The 335i is a sleeper. As far as the article on Shiv, it is whatever, someone else wrote it so if it didn't come out to tasteful for some of you then don't read Auto Week anymore or that writers material. Props Shiv, car is smooth and makes good power. Bump to talking more about Zoeb's kick *** car and less about some article that just feeds crap into i-drama, I mean i-club.
