These 435i numbers tho :lupe:

N55 bout to start getting more respect soon? Apparently the 435 turbo outlet went from 3" to 4" for 2014 so now it hits above 400rwhp without too much of an issue. Though Terry hasn't released the BMS downpipe that he used yet.
Interesting development not so much for the 435, but more so how these advancements might apply to the upcoming M2.

Those numbers are on E85 doe.... I think it will be the same as before, same engine pretty much :manny:

Yeah the main difference is the housing outlet on the turbo for vehicles with the electronic solenoid. Which means pretty much every 435i. It's impossible to retrofit the outlet without buying a new turbo so it's a significant win for 435 owners over guys with n55s with pneumatic solenoid that has the 3" housing.

Small development sure, but it's significant.

I have some new mods on my car. My front control arm bushings were worn. The 335i has liquid filled bushings which crack over time. I went with m3 front upper and lower control arms. I got them from ecstuning.com and went with the TRW brand. They make the official m3 ones but they grind off the m logo so they can legally sell it for cheaper LOL. Handling is better and I don't have as much chop up front with the stiffer arms and solid bushing. My steering wheel stitching on my old sport wheel was coming loose. It was an annoying feeling on my hands when ever I drove the car. I bought the car used and this was the only thing wrong in the interior. I upgraded to a "new to me" m3 wheel with aftermarket EAS paddle shifters with suede wheel trim. Installation was super easy. e90post.com was right on the money with instructions. I also needed new tires so I said eff it and copped some wheels to go along with it. VMR v710's in gunmetal. 19x8.5et33 front 19x9.5et35 rear. Wrapped in Continental extreme contact DWS tires.

Drove a 15 335i with M-Sport yesterday, really liked it, had every option even the folding back seats which is a must for me, but no paddle shifters, thought it was standard equipment on a M-Sport :manny:

Are the blue brake calipers an option? I've seen some of them have it

With the M-sport package it does come with blue calipers

Which engine is that? The new one? B-58 or something?

Interesting. This lot I was at had two 15 335i M-Sports, one of them had blue calipers, the other one said BMW on it but more of metallic/silver finish

I want to say it’s the 2015 is N55 still, before it changed over to 340i

N55 is one of the best engines ever created. Reliable, robust, lots of torque, great gas mileage... :wow:.

Posted this on the Coli Beemer thread too but was wondering, had another question about the F30 335i M-Sports with Paddle Shifters. The ones with the Paddle Shifters shift little faster then the ones without? I drove one with Paddle Shifters and noticed a burp from the exhaust on the upshift every time the car shifted, almost felt like a DCT but not quiet of course but was very impressed. Don't know if it's in my head or if it's true. Both of them were 2015 models, one with Paddle Shifters, one without

Anyone here ever own a 2011 335i coupe or sedan or still own one and how did you like it? I've had two N55 powered BMW's and both were pretty solid, obviously these are getting up there in age but still think in terms of reliability, it's a far better choice over the N54. On the hunt for a E90 with M-Sport and 6-Speed coming to find out, they only made 60 of those that year :damn:
