deeveus 81 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Marketing at BMW didn't tell the engineers...standard 335i's are MUCH faster than the BMW spec. http://www.insideline.com/bmw/3-series/200...335i-coupe.html Edmunds.com: "Consider the facts: This 2007 BMW 335i test car blazed from zero to 60 in 4.8 seconds. BMW says the new coupe mit twin-turbo engine and Steptronic six-speed autobox should make that trip in 5.5 seconds. Seven-tenths of a second quicker?" Enjoy your car dude! Fair enough but 0-60 as a pose to 0-100 (62MPH) where we live in NZ is a bit different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 The F6 is the best on the block at the moment, tuna-bility is amazing, the last good straight six before Ford go to the FWD V6 of fail in a couple of years! Shame about the panda eyes. Nothing a little paint wont fix though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braeden320 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Vectra’s are way better yea, proper sporty like, Fords are Chav mate, where’s your trackies?? Having had a couple of Vauxhalls and looking at the UK sites for information, they to have a rivalry going. The F6 is the best on the block at the moment, tuna-bility is amazing, the last good straight six before Ford go to the FWD V6 of fail in a couple of years! FWD V6 Fail??Depends on the chassis its in really. In a falcon yes it would be a failure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Sorry that’s what I meant, nothing wrong with a V6 in a good FWD chassis, especially when it’s as good as the Mondeo’s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) The 335i has turbo and they got the quicker time by increasing the psi by 0.5 if you take that into consideration then how can you compare them. You could just keep fiddling with the turbo. Clintin the car looks great and you got a good deal with the low k's and warrenty. Enjoy.

The reviewers could NEVER get the time that Forden said it would do on the spec sheet. Oh well...someone did it once....put it on the spec sheet boys!!!!!

deeveus 81 Report post Posted December 4, 2009 When those Telstar TX5 XRi & Paul Radisich versions came out in the 90's they were epic units. They blew away the XR6's of the day & even in todays terms those things still go well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1994 EB Falcon XR6 Tickford was far superior though. I'd seriously still own a ED XR8 in black & manual. The prices on that spec are as much as 10k these days, it's really hard to get a nice one now that hasn't been red-necked! Example : XR8 Needs to be red or black...
