The whole point of a Dinan tune is it keeps your warranty intact so I do not see the point of waiting.

The 320d with the N47 has over 20 psi, and thereīs a PPK offered for it. A new turbo plus some other stuff is included in the kit so its not like they run it stock and just increase pressure and map it, you pay for a lot more than that.

Ah, interesting, thanks for enlightening us. Perhaps the same will be for the N20.

I still say they're basically the same car with minor offsets that aren't too different. I mean none of us are professional drivers nor should the cars be driven to the limits on city/highway. I watch the torque when I set off from the traffic light and I consistently hit 280+.

335i has 300 ft-lbs from 1,200 to 5,000 RPM 328i has 258 ft-lbs from 1,250 to 4,800 RPM The N20 engine in the 328i has less torque, that comes later in the RPM band, and craps out sooner in the RPM band. Its torque curve is inferior in literally every measurable way. You are objectively full of shit. |

No they match the factory warranty, not supplement it.

BUT 50rpm cannot be felt by 99.9% of the people walking the planet. So there is no reason to describe one as lagging compared to the other in terms of response. 2nd, I am skeptical of anything published by BMW on power figures between the two engines. Both are underrated, the N20 just a tad more. I would check back to back dynos of both engines to see peak tq figures, where and how much. On a load bearing dyno mine did 240ft-lbs(Dynojets have shown more) and 260ft lbs with exhaust.

I think the 335i is definitely marketed towards customers like me:
1. Enjoy the most power possible 2. Like lots of options (Don't come standard on BMWs) 3. Most importantly: The difference in 24 month lease payment in identically equipped cars (minus the lights on the 328i) is less than 100$ per month. 4. My lease payment is tax deductible since I use the car for work. Of course there are other demographics that they target, but for me less than 100$ per month (before tax) is the clincher

Im just curious. I wonder how many ppl can keep up with those in 335s with their 328s. Im pretty sure not everyone in one is smoking everyone else. Im surprised this thread is still up. Lol.

I was thinking about this really hard and then it hit me..the 335 is most likely marketed towards people who want to buy a car. I feel like I'm living in Bizzaro world because after reading some of the comments on this thread. I'm hearing it more and more...."if you buy the more powerful car then you must be an irresponsible prick who likes to terrorize old ladies and small children". I don't get it. we're talking about at 300 hp car ,,,not 1500HP pro streeter. Why the hate?? & why not just buy the car you want and be happy with it?? no matter what the model is

The 335i is the choice for those who want to put out more money to have a bigger engine. And those who want to put out even more money, can get the M3. And those who want to put out more money... and, and... Thereīs no marketing difference between the 328i or the 335i, there has always been a model with a bigger engine. Itīs only in America that u basically have only these two choices, but the world doesnīt evolve around you guys so why even assume itīs marketed towards certain people over there? The question doesnīt even have to be asked in the first place.

I've seen some people tout the 328i as being the enthusiast's car as well. They keep stating how nimble it is. |
