Wow!!! Sorry to hear about the older one, and awesome to hear about the newer one. Our 528i has only had some cooling issues, and some excessive grime on the top end of the motor.

Yeah, the cooling systems on these newer BMWs seem to be made out of butter. Be careful if you decide to tune them. My friend used to work at the Dinan shop for western Canada, and they had cooling system catastrophes on almost a daily basis. And that's even with all of the cooling support that Dinan adds to keep the temperatures in check, after tuning.
Those 335's are a blast though... my friend just bought his second one. Fortunately I can still keep ahead of him

It's a Saab, and it's not stock. There are many cars that can be faster with tuning. I don't think it makes my car better than a 335i by any means. Fuck, the way they handle, their interior, etc... is all light years ahead of my car.deathcloud wrote:no way with ur volvo? u can keep ahead of a twin turbo 335i? wtf! if thats true gimmie a volvo!

Yep, absolutely. My car was way undertuned (175hp, when the same engine produces 260hp out of another model, stock). Just exhaust, intercooler and ECU brought it to over 275hp with a very nice A/F curve. Same work done to a 335i would have it whooping my ass day in day out.Bfowler wrote:that 3 liter is VERY under tuned. with software it will destroy the saab.
also....if i can replace the radiator, waterpump thermo etc in a bmw....anyone can.
i think its just a familiarity thing.
Though a Saab 9000 comes with stock forged pistons, and is easy to tune to over 450-500hp with a turbo, exhaust, IC and software. For $2500, you can buy one of those cars... and for the same price, you can have it embarassing M5's in acceleration. Though that doesn't make them an M5 by any means. There are many other tunable cars like this as well, it's not restricted to any brand.
My criticism on the cooling system is not how hard it is to replace... it's how unreliable it is. The water pumps, fans, etc. seem to be made of glass. At the Dinan shop they routinely had fans taking out radiators, or catastrophic water pump failures. If you can avoid touching the cooling system at all, stay away. Otherwise the cars never had any issues. From the sounds of it Mike, you don't want to tune your car... so keep it under warranty and make sure your cooling system is in perfect shape before it runs out.
that right.. my last car was a very modd mk1 rabbit
running About 16-21 pounds of boast, sds front mount intercooler, custom exhaust, bov,cam extra larger 16v brakes it was sick and fun.. I called it my porsche killer
raced many new 911 and 911 turbos but weight to power very little could touch it.
now this is differnt/close but weights more.. But for a stock car out of the bx like this.. omg very fun
my wife doesn't like to be in the car when I have fun..
she has large tits, shes not fat but when its been driven hard (I mean the car) there in her face and it scares her...
I love how it handles my last car turbo (the wabbit) was fast but this is some what safe. funny to say when it drive from 100-210km most of the time!!!
