i have a friend who is a very wealthy executive that just bought a BMW 535xi he is not much of a car guy but traded in an older lexus ls450 i think for this bimmer.
he came to me yesterday and told me he parked next to me and said jokingly that we were going to have to race now (with a chuckle)

anyway i certainly wouldnt want to race him because i already know that car cant touch the IS-350

but i would like to email him a side by side comparason showing the HP and 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.
does anyone know of somplace online i can find this data?

The 535xi has the same engine as the 335 (300hp) and AWD. The vehicle weighs close to 4K lbs. so the 350 should be quicker!

Go to dragtimes.com and click on compare to compare real world results- not magazine racing. I almost always check off stock since mods add so much variation. BTW- I checked, and the RWD 535 is much slower than the IS350.

IS350 with beat him for sure..

Thats a pretty common car around here, the 350 is much faster off the line, so if your question is about beating him from a stop then congrats, you win. On a roll they're not as easy, you'll walk up to around 100, at which time the cars are pretty even, haven't gone too deep into 100 against one, but my guess is he'd start walking away after you shift into 5th.

Edit: Not that I'd race on a public road
