BTW, the GT3 actual weight versus the 335i is less than 200 lbs difference, maybe even under 100 lbs. Edmunds weighed their test GT3 at 3283 lbs, C&D weighed their 335i test car at 3366 lbs. But you can go argue with the man about his track results, you have a log-in.
Those prices are way too high, that's what he gets for buying Dinan.
Decently equipped 335i e90 Step incl trip for ED: $42K
KW V3 $2K
BBS Forged Wheels $3K
Vishnu tune $1.6K
Quiafe Diff:$2K <--optional except for Auto-X, price could be higher if you get the welded differential
BBK = $3.5K <--optional but nice, also note M3 reviews complained about brakes so what's good for the goose...

$54K for a car with more HP, way more TQ, much better brakes, equal suspension, virtually same interior, much better fuel economy, 250 lbs lighter, better resale value, and all-around faster than an equivalent 63K+? (with M-DCT) e90 M3. Oh, and a free trip to Germany  and Q-ship cool points to boot!
Oh forgot 1 more thing in the prices above:
Look on drivers face in M3 when he has to give a wave around? Priceless! |
You sound like a teenager. A decently equipped e92 coupe is 46k.
KWv3 = 2K
BBS wheels for 3k? lol try 4k
Vishnu = 1500
Diff = 2k + 1k install probably
Front and rear BBK installed = 4k
for 60k you can have a 335 that is still slower than an m3, but now with ZERO warranty unlike a Dinan equipped one. The m3 is probably only 60 lbs heavier than the 335i. I dunno where you got 250 from.
The gt3 and 335i only weigh 100 lbs apart. 335i faster than a gt3 around a track. LOL Okay, if Shummy is driving the 335i and Britney Spears is in the GT3.
46k (sports and premium pkg) for a brand new 335i coupe mom and dad buys teenage kid
12k on mods to make it almost as fast as an m3
getting it towed to the dealership because the engine blew and the dealer saying it cost 10k and warranty is void = priceless
