    Go race one on Streets of Willow, much more fun.

    And the answer is, you can beat anything so long as person in the other car is a bad driver. Just like the E92 M3 that was trying to breath down my back last weekend. Guns it on the straight, brakes and turns like a grandma. -_-

    No. Even though you did not define what "keep up" means, you will never be able to "keep up" with the 335i. Ever.
    Ignorance is bliss.

    that was funny...
    I have a stage 3 b5 and a 335 juss got up and left me like I was parked he had to be cheaped because i refused to belive that a stock one would move like that.
    (plus he had rims and roof spoiler and dark tints which leads me to be that he would have modified his car with a chip)

    335i's are fast as hell. I drove one and I could tell it would eat my modded A4 alive. if BMW's interior wasn't so crappy (IMO) I'd probably have a 135i

    It definitely could have been chipped.

    I believe the Vishnu chip takes the car to 4.4 seconds 0-60 and adds 60whp I think (up to 365hp). Unreal!

    I drove my friend's 6sp 335i sedan last night. It is siiiiick. So incredibly fast off the line ...

    Hey, I have a great idea! How about everyone think about this from a reasonable viewpoint? You might as well be posting "what will it take to beat a Z06" because it's just as stupid of a comparison. If you want to keep up/beat a comparable BMW, you should be asking how to beat a 330i, because THAT is the A4's direct BMW competitor. The S4 guys should be worrying about 335i's and the RS4 guys should be worrying about the M3's.

    Fucking people these days...

    Good call man, the 335 is really not a good comparison. The 328 is a much more accurate test. The problem is that the 335 is a really really fast car more comparable to say a s4 in terms of power and speed.

    you guys have no pride and are talking nonsense. Stop being so high on the freaking 335i, its nothing special. BTW If you go Stage III on an A4, with a 100 shot of nos with no seats, doors, bumpers, hood and trunk you will smoke an M5 let alone a 335i. The 335i is also the same price as an S4.

    i think a better comparison would be the 335xi vs the a4.....cause then you loose about the same due to awd. Even then the bmw has you in every way....

    Again, i don't think you guys get it, the 335 is an S4 competitor not an A4 Competitor. The 335xi sedan ins 52k, our car is about 36k. The S4 is 53k so thats what its compared too.

    fact of the matter is that audi runs shit done deal.....if 2.0ts were starting at 38k we would probably hopefully maybe have a stronger engine or maybe a bigger turbo or maybe a twin setup and then.......you know the rest!

    Actually, the 335i IS something special.
    It's priced within the range of a 3.2 V6 A4 quattro, yet offers the performance more like an S4.

    The 325/328 is the more direct competitor to the A4 2.0T in terms of price.
    The 330/335i are the more direct competitor to the A4 3.2 V6.

    So, overall when BMW upped the 335i with such prodigious stock power, then truly created some special. Audi simply hasn't kept up.
    It's got nothing to do with blind pride. It's go to do with reality.
    The 2.0T compares very favorably to the 328i, but Audi doesn't have a model that competes with the 335i in terms of price to performance.
    To get into the 335i territory of performance you need an S4.
    However, the S4 costs MUCH more than the V6 A4.
    Audi simply needs to step up, and prideful fantasy that the S4 is the 335i competitor needs a reality check. They are not in the same price range.

    I'd like to see the V6 TT or the V6 SC for the regular A4 as soon as possible. If Audi wants to compete in the 335i territory, then they need a new engine or a forced induction V6 now.

    well if audi used cheap interiors like bmw then maybe they can put more under the hood...and you are 100% right Audi doesnt have a comp for the 335i but it eats the m3 with the s4 and the m5 with the rs4 and the m6 with the rs6 so yeah at the end of the day four rings run shit!

    Re: will this be enough to keep up with a 335i?

    I can tell you this. 3 different 335s went to my local track. My A4 (when it was modded w/K04 and other supporting mods) clicked off FASTER times than the fastest 335xi that day which had the PROcede tune on it. On pump gas, my A4 dyno'd at just about exactly the same as a bone stock 335xi.

    Just goes to show you that power isn't everything -- you also have to have the skill and the ability to put the power to the ground

    You need to check your pricing again.
    BMW no longer makes a 330i. The 335i IS the same price point as the 330i.
    The 335i took the place of the 330i, and it didn't get the extreme price increase that you're trying to make true.
    Everyone wants to add the AWD to the 3 series, AS IF, that is somehow a more true comparison. It's not. Adding the X drive only increases the price by around $2k. However, no "sport" sedan driver would opt for X drive in the 3 series. The 3 series performs it's best as a RWD. The AWD version is merely sold for those who may need the added all weather traction of AWD. BMW has never sold it's X drive as performance enhancing the way Quattro does.

    A well optioned 335i and an equally optioned A4 V6 are direct cost competitors.
    A4 3.2= $42,675
    335i = $44,925-$46,825 (X drive-$1900 option)
    Thus, the 335i is about $2300 more than the current B7 A4.
    The B7 is now an old model, the 335i is a new model with subsequent increase in pricing. Beyond that, the price difference gives higher performance. We'll have to see how Audi prices the B8 3.2 V6. I'm sure it will come even closer to the 335i's price.

    A B7 S4 optioned like the 3.2 and 335i is prices at $53,210.

    I don't get how people just make up what competes with what.
    The auto makers know what their competition is. BMW simply upped the 3 series when it made the 335i, and it was SHOCKER to a lot of people.
    BMW took an amazing automobile and kicked it in the a$$ with a twin turbo 3.0.

    What you want and what you want to pay for are different things.

    When I was shopping the E90 (new model 3) 330i was what I compared to the 2.0T quattro. Adding S-line to the 2.0T pushed my MSRP to nearly $40k.
    The 330i I was looking at had nearly all the same options and included the better BMW sport package. The price was about $42k.
    Monthly payments were very close. I opted for the 2.0T and not the 3.2 V6.

    But, if the 335i were there when I was shopping, I don't think the 2.0T would have sold me. For me, the new B8 2.0T better come with something REALLY special to make me not get the 335i next time. I've owned both the RWD 3 series and the A4 quattro. Quattro is fantastic, but BMW RWD 3 series is still a touch better handling overall. The 2.0T offers nearly the same drive/handling of the 3 series at a lower price point.
    But, if the B8 goes up too much in price and Audi doesn't bring something to better compete with the 335i then BMW will keep beating A4 sales.

    Re: will this be enough to keep up with a 335i?

    Forgive my ignorance but does the 335i turbo come in sedan form or only coupe? It wouldn't be fair to compare a 2 door coupe to an s4 or a b7a4. That's like comparing a b7 to a g37 or a Nissan 350, in terms of speed, handling etc, wouldn't a lighter coupe have an advantage from the get-go? i don't know about you guys but when I hear "335" I think of the coupe.

    The quick short answer;
    Yes, the 335i comes in sedan and coupe form.

    The long, unasked and probably uncalled for answer:

    The E90 3 series is the model the replaced the E46 sedan and coupe.
    The E90 came in 2006 as a 325i and 330i sedan. The 2006 coupes were still the E46 325ci and 330ci. 1.5 years of that model "year" BMW brought new coupes to the new E90 line. The new coupes are the 328i and 335i. BMW dropped the "C" which used to denote "coupe".
    With the introduction of the E90 coupes BMW also changed the sedan names to match the new numbering scheme. The numbering scheme did mean something though. In the US, the E90 325i was actually the "new" 3.0 inline 6, but with less power than the E90 330i, which had the same 3.0 liter engine but with better breathing and better tuning.

    When the 2007 model year came for the E90, the coupes were introduced.
    The same 3.0 liter that powered the 2006 325i got a bump in power output and became the 328i sedan and coupe. The 2006 E90 330i sedan became the 335i sedan, but it now has a twin turbo 3.0 liter that uses the OLD E46 3.0 block, not the new magnesium 3.0 liter of the 328i sedan and coupe.
    The 2007 335i is both a sedan and coupe.

    BMW also announced that will start offering the 328i and 335i coupes in AWD, a unique step for BMW offering X-drive in a coupe.

    So, as it stands now, then current E90 328i and 335i are offered in sedan and coupe, in RWD with optional X-drive in sedan or coupe.
    The 328i sedan & coupe has the newest part magnesium engine block in 3.0 liter size.
    The 335i sedan & coupe use the "older" 3.0 block, but it's amped with a twin turbo setup.

    The old BMW naming convention of name the series number first followed by engine displacement isn't always the case.
    Older 328i had 2.8 liter, 318i had a 1.8 liter.
    The E46 325i had a 2.5 liter
    The E46 330i had a 3.0 liter
    A 525i had a 2.5 liter, a 530i had a 3.0 liter, and a 540i had a 4.0 liter.

    Now, an E90 325i/328i have a magnesium 3.0 liter with the 328i version having more power.
    An E90 330i has a 3.0 liter magnesium block
    The newest E90 335i has the old 3.0 block with twin turbo's, not a 3.5 liter.

    I guess now the numbering still denotes the series, like "3" or "5", but the next 2 numbers mean engine displacement is close, but the number goes up as performance does too? Umm....something like that.

    I know you wanted a simple answer. Sorry.

    Say what lol? I think we are saying the same thing ~ that bigger #s doesn't necessarily mean faster track times.
