Coming from a e90 n54 full bolt on with pure stage2 and a custom tune and ONLY 91oct, my 435i feels really slow. I think you're Gonna need more than just slicks. It's not a fair race since the 335is is dct too.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt it Ive driven a 135i n54 and I never wanted to go back to my 328i lol. At least I know where I stand tho I know I can take some 370Z's, mustangs, challengers etc... 335's tho I can't a 335d yes and newer 335i f30 I can just depending on the setup I decide to do or what they have but I mean at least it was 2 cars not a bus lol. Dream car though n54 135 or 335i will be my next car forsure if not a e46 m3 and turbo it or swap it gotta wait a cpl years since im only 17 at the time. ._.

Doesn't it get pretty hot where you are? The extreme temperatures and slicks aren't going to be a good match. They're just flat out going to be melting like butter with the road if you daily your car.

Not that it's going to suddenly get you seconds off your 1/4, but the Michelin PS4S are excellent. Not sure what size you are or what your rolling on, check tirerack to see if they fit. Ranges from $250-$350 a tire. Nothing is better on the road. On the track is a different story, but that's not going to help you in situations like this.

Yeah I was researching them yesterday and will most likely get those and also this off topic but don't want to make another thread you think gutting my 328 would be worth it?

Wait you have a 328 and you're wondering how you got gapped by a 335is? Lol. Are you serious?

What are your current mods?

Slicks won't help unless you're doing dig racing or 1/4 mile shit. Lighter wheels and mpps would help but again, list mods and we can discuss further.

I your FBO already.....sell the car and get a 335 even make the jump to an M. Makes no sense to build/upgrade or go bigger turbo. Motor is not stout

You're only 17 and you just bought another BMW? I would have sold it and upgraded to a CPO M3. At 17 I'd rather have one car that was very quick rather than 2 that aren't as quick.

Yes sir and yeah you got a point but ive always wanted to build an n54 instead of a 335i I wanted a 135i since it is lighter. I mean the 135i does already have mods pure stage 2, and fbo but I plan to make this car into a single turbo and going from there. Later on ill work harder to get an e46 m3 and turbo it that would be a dream lol
