The other, I think the whole point of this thread was more the 'car' than the 'driver' mod as the OP was talking about straight line acceleration, i.e., basically floor it and see who wins. But I digress. It's a 328i, not a 335i, most people dont buy the smaller engine of the line to 'race'. Even a 335 wont beat some of the cars listed here without extensive mods. For example, I'd get my butt handed it me if I took my 335 against a new Mustang GT or Camaro SS. But we already know that those cars will beat us in a straight line and on the track... |

Besides racing cars that are faster is the whole point. I would always want to be the better driver with the slower car than the opposite. |

Although it does seem that the pre 2013's/non 1LE SS's arent much faster than the 335, even in the 1/4. But the 1LE is in a different world. Running the 1/4 a full second faster than the 335 and 0-60 in low 4s. That and from the lightning lap, we all know what they can do around the track. Not bad for a $37k car. The GT is a beast too, better than the regular SS's (not 1LE). Too bad american muscle dont make a smooth auto transmission like can be found in the 3 series or I may have seriously thought about buying one. Manuals are great fun, but not so much in city traffic for daily driving. |

However. everything equal an SRT8 will run away from an F30. The F30 is not a speed demon - no inner beast to unleash. Quote:

Believe it or not I raced a 5.0 GT today from a 20 mph roll and slowly pulled him. He must not know how to drive because he should be 4 tenths faster than me. I don’t care because I won and winning is winning. lol |

Rolls do require alot of skill. If you ever raced a manual muscle car you know every shift must be fast and at the right time. Not to mention the launch is everything. In automatics other then a few good ones. Knowing what gear your in and the kickdown delay, shift points can be a second difference. The I think the F30 335i has a inner beast inside. It needs a stage 2 JB4 with Meth. I wait for this day |

It was a pretty long period of time and if he wasnt racing he wouldnt have gone to those levels and speed. To be honest i was just surprised he didnt totally kill me until i checked the numbers. Not too far off, but your right if it was a track im sure his car would have easily pulled away some more.
2010 Audi S4 0-60 mph 5.3 Quarter Mile 13.7 2012 BMW 328i F30 The 2012 328i (F30) impresses again as Motor Trend comes in with their review and performance results of the F30 328i Sport Line model they recently tested. In performance results, the 328i with its touted N20 turbo 4-cylinder engine managed to achieve a 5.6 second 0-60mph, quarter mile in 14.1 seconds @ 97.8 mph, and 0.90g on the skidpad. |

Rule #1: The key to beating anything off the line is to ensure auto start/stop doesn't kill the engine first.
Being new to the F30, I learned the hard way that sport mode is not enough to disable ASS... |

I used to street race - when I was in high school. Then I grew-up. Now the only time I drive like that is on a track, with other people who voluntarily signed-up for the danger, who are presumably sober, where no kids go chasing balls into the street, where I don't risk jail or voluntary manslaughter charges...you get the point.
pkim is right...take it to the track. Get an instructor and spend months learning to drive. Once you do that, you will realize that the driver has more to do with going fast than the car does. |
