Default Wanted: IS-F for friendly runs

Hello

I'm looking for an IS-F owner in the LA area to do a few friendly runs just to compare how the IS-F stands up to a modded 335i. If you're out there shoot me a PM.


We're having a Dyno day at AMS in Irvine on Nov 22nd. Everyone is welcome to come by hangout or even dyno your cars.

$60 for 3 runs...

Just out of curiosity, what mods do you have on the 335i? Is the boost increased?

thats pretty funny... I mean how hard can it be to mash on the pedal and go... maybe he was messing with the trans in Manual mode?

either way, IS-F guys I'm looking for you...

Ya try to come out even if you wont be dyno'ing. It'll be nice to learn about beemers and everyone will be all over your ISF since it'll be something different. No many IS-F's out on the roads....

Edit: Modded 335s are making 360 to 425whp depending on 91 tunes or 100 oct. tunes....

That sounds fast. I think stock 335i has 8.8 psi of boost. Double the boost! This puts your 335i into a little more than 400 hp. I guess 420 bhp. Since you seem so secret about the power that you have, here's some info on increased boost of the 335i: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100630

Modified 335 versus stock IS-F?

Wouldn't it be more fair to dyno versus a modified IS-F?

I always love the "my modified car will smoke your stock car" wars!

Maybe a lightly modified SC300 would be a more fair comparison:

You know, just a turbocharged inline-6?

When the BMW guys can throw-down 900+ rwhp on those motors, I will be impressed.
