There are some posts claiming the 328i is under rated in its stated hp/tq figures. Is this true with 335s as well?
Is this done so 335 owners wouldnt be thinking omg wtfff?

335 - more power sounds nice
328 - less power sounds shitty (i have one and want to leave it stock but seriously considering exhaust options just for the sound it lacks)

Both - drive and handle extremely well.

Now lets all go drive on closed circuits before we think our cars make us fast. Seriously. More power does not equal moar fast and moar enthusiast.

328/335 is great but im looking to get into the new m3 or m2.
The N55 is also underrated, but not as much as the N54 was and the N20 is.

Incorrect.


The development catback installed on my car did not just increase volume but also the note/pitch.
