But here it is..

0-60 in 4.69
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYdYFIpfbJU
0-60 in 4.5 with DR
end of discussion..
Don't want this to be a 335i vs is350. I have both and I can care less which is faster because in the end I know my 335 will whoop my 350 any day of the week..
EDIT: Carl: Many magazines give the is350 0-60 in the 5s.
Car and driver :
the Lexus posted a 5.1 second 0-60 time
The IS 350 accelerates with the tenacity of a dedicated sports car, as the 0-60 sprint requires just 5.6 seconds.

Phiber there are magazines that cite the 335i in the 5s also. If we're comparing, I figure the best way to do it is to find a brand neutral magazine (note: not edmunds) that does tests for both vehicles.

Congrats on your IS and welcome to CL.
You won't regret your purchase. Get ready for some randomless driving and late night trips for snacks, etc. Like everyone else has said, the best place to get mods would be the classified section on this forum and from our various vendors. They will give you the best possible deal.

Here we go,
car and driver 335i coupe: " just time enough for some formal test data: 0 to 60 in 4.9 seconds and the quarter-mile in 13.6 at 105 mph. "
car and driver IS 350: "the Lexus posted a 5.1 second 0-60 time"
road and track 335i: "our test subject clicked off a fleet 5.0-second trip to 60 mph, ripping through the quarter mile in 13.5"
road and track IS 350: "The Lexus blasted to 60 mph in 4.9 sec. and to the quarter-mile mark at a blistering 13.5, which bests even the more expensive V-8-powered Audi S4."
Don't see any "whoopage" here
stock for stock.

That's very interesting Phiber but the BMW forums are this way ----> http://www.bimmerforums.com/ 
I don't think I'm arguing at all. You're the one who instigated the entire thing.
I don't understand the point of feverishly defending the 335i on a Lexus forum when nobody talked down on the 335i (i.e. it did not need to be defended at all, there was no attack on its credibility/reputation)
Read llamaboiz post, he only mentioned the IS 350 in his post. No mention of 335i at all.
No need to "defend" the 335i when it's not being attacked.

Why do I have to defend my 335 against a IS350 when I have both??, I am just getting the facts straight and proving you wrong especially with your post..
Road and track rates the 335i at 5.0 flat to 60. For that vehicle though 4.8 doesn't sound unreasonable at all.

You bolded me saying 4.8 does not sound unreasonable.
does not sound unreasonable
"not unreasonable"
synonymous: 4.8 sounds reasonable for this
I was saying that I can easily imagine (hence "at all") the 335i stock doing 4.8
That's what "doesn't sound unreasonable" means
Nowhere in my posts was I ever wrong. I cited facts, and I originally cited my own opinion that 4.8 "sounds reasonable" (means the same as doesn't sound unreasonable) for the 335i stock.
Point out where I was ever incorrect in this thread and I will offer a formal apology.
By the way, I thought you were "done" with this thread

Oh this part "Road and track rates the 335i at 5.0 flat to 60."
You meant to bold that. I still can't offer an apology because there is nothing wrong about that statement.
Saying "road and track cites the 335i at 5.0 flat" does not mean I'm saying "well the 335i is definitely a 5.0 stock car it cannot go faster"
In fact, I made it really obvious that I definitely didn't have this mentality. I blatantly stated that the 335i can reasonably do 4.8 stock in the very next sentence!
If you want to play that game, maybe I should bold your edmunds 350 time and then call you "wrong" because multiple sources/Vector FX2 tests have done faster.
I'd never do this, however, because that would be stupid. There's nothing wrong with citing edmunds test for the IS 350 just like there's nothing wrong with citing road and track's test for the 335.
The fact remains, I've done nothing but compliment the 335i in my first post. Yet you still feel the need (not just in this topic but in others) to always subtly (or so you think) bring up this 335i vs IS 350 feud.
We get it, you are a 335i guy, but this is an IS 350 thread.
I don't see the point in defending a car that isn't being attacked. I don't see the point in jocking a car that has nothing to do with this thread.

If you look on the first post I stated
and stock 335 does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds by the way..
If anything, it was llamma who started the 335i vs is350...
And no, I am not a 335i guy. I have equal love for both of my car. Just like someone bash on a IS350 on the bimmerpost. I would defend it instead of getting the facts straight since they love to say that a Lexus = Toyota.

Congrats! I hope you love your car like the majority of us do here on CL. hahaha I heard someone at my work talking behind my back today, and this is what they said: "Don't get too close to Erin's Lexus. She's obsessive complusive when it comes to her car."
LOL
