Just don't race any 335i's, in a controlled environment (same driver, same track, same weather etc) http://www.insideline.com/bmw/3-seri...us-is-350.html the 335i pulls pretty hard on the is350.

True, back when I purchased my 335i coupe I got it for a bit over 50k OTD. The only option I had on it that I don't have on my current IS 350 was nav.
Had to sell it prematurely at a loss (obviously) for reliability issues, and picked up my current new IS 350 for 40k exactly OTD.
In retrospect I realized my IS 350 came with a lot of options standard that cost extra for the 3. Something simple like heated seats, for example, was coupled with 2 relatively useless features and bundled into an extra $1000 option, whereas this (and a lot more) was covered comprehensively in the IS's premium package.

I got lit up by an e63 amg today, both of us were going 35mph until my lane had to merge into his before we merge onto the freeway, thought it was just a regular e350 so I smashed the gas to get infront, but nope this guy just ran away from me to let me see his quad pipes and that amg badge.

335i VS IS350. It's close, both have been out a while now and there have been lots and lots of races. Generally speaking, though, stock for stock, If you raced 100 different 335i's against 100 different IS350's, it's the 350 that would take the greater percentage of wins. I think the lowest recorded time for a stock IS350 was around 13.2.

And by the way stock IS 350s are low to mid 13 second cars:

road and track cites it at 13.5 flat in the 1/4.
Hell with slicks + custom intake, exhaust, midpipe and most importantly VERY cold weather you can get into the high 12s as you can see, but those are not with street tires.

my only experience with a 335i was in the 1/8 we ran once my car is bone stock and he said he was stock too.....we ran he jumped and got red lighted I left with the green and cough him at half of the track i ran an 8.7 sec couldnt c his time since the slip said fail on his side lol...I tried looking for him againg to redo it and never saw him....everyone told me the car had a reflashed computer was not stock so i guess he was scared to loose to a stock is350....

you can sit there and act like my car is highly modified 
but intake exhaust and a small shot of nitrous is nothing at all in the world of modified cars and what I was saying was more directed toward carlx saying that you need drag radials to break 12's
