You have to take any set of track #'s with a grain of salt, especially when there's such small deltas between many of the #'s.

You can't be upset if a car posts almost as good of a time on track, because the 335i was never built as a track car. It's interesting that even with the 3 #'s that were posted, there was a 3 second delta between the original E92 and the F30, but the 335is was slower?

Plus the N55 is tuned to be an engine to live with on a daily basis, not necessarily for high RPM track work (where a V6 mustang engine/transmission is useless in day to day driving).

And you should never get caught up in the "This car cost less and is faster" because if that were the case we'd all be driving souped up Subaru's.
