Bone stock vs. bone stock the S4 smokes the F30 335i off the line and from a 5mph roll.

Heck the n54 335is smoke the F30 N55 335i.

The F30 335i is not all that much quicker than an F30 328i...

This will change when BMW upgrades the 335i with either the N54 set up in the current E92 335is coupe...or some other set up.

But until BMW really and truly comes out with the next evolution for the 335i (which current F30 335i with N55 is not)....you will not be able to face the S4 at the line with confidence.

That is the test...if you cannot line up with confidence...other "feelings" do not matter.
I researched this. I looked an insideline test on a 2007 E90 335i 6 speed AT. Here are the numbers compared to the 2012 335i 8 speed AT

2007 0-60 4.9 sec
2012 0-60 4.7 sec

2007 1/4 mile 13.4 sec
2012 1/4 mile 13.3 sec

2007 skipad .90g
2012 skipad .90g

Pretty similiar. Just thought the feedback would be healthy
