Default Met up with some friends for a little spirited driving in the hills....

Couple of buddies just bought some m3's, so we met up to check them out and do some serious spirited driving in the twisties...Some other friends that showed rolled up in, s4 twin turbo, 335i twin turbo, evo IX, S2000, and of course me in my twin turbo hooptie.

Some pics at a gas station before driving out, I didnt have my Veilside CF lip on which I am kind of mad about, but its getting another clear coat put on because it was already getting dings from rocks, I get it back tomorrow nice and fresh chrome silver.























I noticed an NSX with some sick wheels and what looked like side skirts and a front body kit at a light stopped to our right, I took the turn and popped the back out a little bit and when his light turned green he caught up to us quick, this carerra wanted to jump ahead of all of us at the light and get on the freeway, he suceeded and we all got on the highway and started going fast...real fast.



Cruisin the freeway, the evo had an exhaust from what I could tell, I didnt ask what else, but he wanted me to punch it on the highway, I just put it in 4th around 65 and walked away pretty quick, I didnt realize he downshifted and was trying as well lol, he caught up with a big thumbs up I was like oh, maybe i shoulda put it in third then..







It was nice and cool, like 73 outside, and the twisties were fun, and crazy, I have never turned/drove so fast ever...the black m3 got walked pretty easy but I didnt get it on video, maybe later on we can get a vid, he just has an intake. Anyways, that was a fun part of my sunday.

cool pics, looks like a sunday-funday

I need better friends, all mine drive beeters (not beemers)

and maybe you can say better than I as I have never seen one in person; but the new 335i looks way long in the rear end, especially compared to last gen 3 coupes, back seats must be super spacious

What were your impressions of the 335i? A lot of people are comparing it to the M3s. Nice Z by the way. Sounds like a fun day!

I shoulda popped the hood on that 335, oops. Anyways, it was a pretty quick car, it can definitely hang with the previous gen m3's, that ****er is long though, like a damn gto or something, but it was very clean still. Apparently there is a chip already out for it? He was telling me he could gain 60rwhp from it, like dyna comp or something....

There is a guy (shiv) who is tuning the stock ECU and getting another ~30whp out of it stock. They actually dyno 278whp straight from the factory which means that BMW under-rated the true HP so it wouldnt come too close to the M3s which they still have a lot of to sell. The E46 M3s dyno around the same stock.

Nice bunch of cars.


The 335 IS pretty long. It looks like BMW turned a sedan chasis into a coupe. Still a sexy car though.
