The steering ruined it for me and frankly I'm not looking for a track car at this time. If I was it would probably be a Lotus or something lightweight and fun like an Ariel Atom. The way the 435i is set up now she actually feels faster than the M4. I have not dynoed her since getting the downpipe I guess I should get around to that.... but actually I really don't care. That's not personal against you, it's just I'm happy with the car in the way it's set up in the way it feels, and the way it drives in the way the suspension feels.
The N55 with 8AT is a great combo imho. Smooth and casual, or quite powerful. My car pulls very hard above 3500 and never lets up all the way to redline. But hey, love your M whatever. They are said to be great cars.

BTW: Thanks for being an awesome, open-minded guy on all this as have read threads like this that go WAAAAAY downhill. SO here's something for you to ponder.... If you want to step back a bit and LOL @ my car habit, look at what just two years of depreciation is on a Bentley GTC W12 twin-turbo. HINT: Depreciation is more than the 435i with Dinan bits and bolt-ons.. and that's JUST depreciation! ADDED: Ok, i had to look online for sh*t-n-giggles. Used 2017 GTC W12 $264,540 msrp, selling at $197,856 with only 5190 miles. That's $2778.50 depreciation per month over a two year period. Get ready, that's $12.85 per mile.

Active Autowerkes and VTT will be coming out with their turbo kits so I am on the lookout. It's keeping me from pulling the trigger on an M3 right now.

Then there's the known VW Group Bentley brand manufacturing defect rear window in the GTC that just falls out due to heat in places like Florida. Just falls right out, really. On a $200,000 car. Oh, a convertible top replacement is $17,000. Oh, and then there's the.... But hey, maybe this post will help someone in the future to avoid VW Group. Horrid company imho and BMW is soooooooooo much better imho.

BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, Jaguar: Most cars in all the mentioned brands plummet in value from new to 3 years old. That's what makes Beemers and the other mentioned brands such great values on the second hand market! Of course there are a couple of Benz and Jaguar products that hold value a bit better, but as a whole, they all dump! I bought my wife's $64k MSRP 2015 335i M-sport with adaptive suspension (and almost every option available) about 3 and a half months ago for exactly half! And I paid full retail, I didn't get some special deal. BMW's dump! Thats why the extreme majority of new BMW sales are leases, not purchases... I love Beemers for the way they drive, the way they feel on the inside, the way they look, and the way they depreciate (if you buy them correctly, they're a great value)! |

I love Audis, still. They only hold their value like this in snowy areas, like here in the northeast. Whenever I was on a search to purchase one the same models in warmer regions was always cheaper. I've owned two in the last decade and would have jumped into an s4 if they were as cheap as the same year 335s in NE.
2013-2015 S4s carried a 4-8K premium over a similarly spec and mileage 335. So here I am. I took the opportunity to try something new and I am liking it. I do miss the interiors though, however, it is night and day in the balance department. Spirited driving is definitely more fun now. I owned a heavily suspension modded 5spd 1.8T, and a 3.0 supercharged A6.

Hmmm, the larger turbo in my Dinan setup doesnt have (much) lag, actually feels like less lag than stock. Keeping her spooled with engine over 3500 rpm she is a beast!
Am sure guys here know their setups and where to keep rpm, or to proactively downshift to keep turbo happy.

Unfortunately EFR compressor wheels are optimised for small engines running big boost. Running them on a big engine at moderate boost throws them out of their efficiency range quickly. People even start to experience this at high RPM with N54s with the EFR 7670.
