335i Dyno (for comparison)
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=165005
Check out that moutain of torque at 2000 RPM. And is very steady until it starts dropping off at just under 6000 RPM.
Dyno'd our new 335i today. The dyno actually reads a bit low for a dynojet. Other dynojets in the area usually read 8-12whp higher. Regardless, the results were better than expected. Yes, the car is grossly under-rated from the factory.
All results were taken in 4th gear, btw. A 3rd gear pull made a few more ponies but the run was very short.

using 15% drivetrain loss, its probably making 320ish hp 340 trq according to this dyno, its high end power lacks tho which makes its 0-60 somewhat disappointing considering the numbers it has. Which is why an M3 withn only 262 crank trq can still beat a 335 slightly. Nothing aftermarket cant fix however

Sure it does. Most Lexus owners know what their car was designed for and how it shapes up against other vehicles. There is nothing wrong with discussing the new BMW. Most 2is owners have considered buying the BMW as they are comparable machines.
No 2is owner wants to hear that the new BMW may be faster but as time goes on the cars are only getting faster and more powerful.
I love my 350 for more than it's power
just my opinion

Both are wonderful cars (if) they do what you are looking for. But not really comparable. One to drive on the outbacks of America and the other to drive cross country. I know which one I want for each mission.

It's not an airflow issue. It's programmed that way so that there will be additional fuel injected into the cylinders to help keep the temp down. You have to give up some power to get a little more headroom in the high rpms.

They're already on to a pumpkin swap with a proper LSD. With both rears hooking up, I think that the difference to 60 will disappear.

How can you say 'they are comparable machines'? The BMW 335i has twin turbos while the Lexus does not. One is definitely sold as a 'driving machine' (and rides really harsh) and the other (Lexus) is sold as a entry level luxury performance sedan. Apples and Oranges to me....

In many people's eyes, the 335i (along with the 330i) is a competitor to the IS350, because...what else is there to compare to?
