[quote=“rachelhouston, post:9, topic:1809”]And let’s not forget that turbocharged engine![/quote]True! But is it really a ‘driver’s car’ compared to others in the segment?
It’s definitely a ‘driver’s car’! You get a great combination of speed and handling. Maybe not as raw as some competitors, but it’s still a lot of fun without the rough edge.
The stock 0-60mph time for the 2012 BMW 335i is around 5.1 seconds. However, tuning can significantly improve that.
Have you guys considered upgrading to a performance exhaust? I heard it can help with acceleration.

A tune from companies like JB4 or Cobb can shave off some serious time. Many owners report around 4.5 seconds after tuning!
That sounds amazing! What mods did you combine with the tune?
I added a cold air intake and a downpipe to my tune, and it made a noticeable difference. Highly recommend those mods!
Cold air intakes really do help! Just don’t forget about the tune; they go hand-in-hand!
Exactly! A proper tune is essential for performance. Anyone tried E85 fuel with their 335i?
I’ve been running E85 with my 335i, and it’s incredible! The power increase is substantial, and the 0-60 time dropped significantly.

That’s awesome! Any reliability issues with E85?
No significant issues for me; just a bit more maintenance on the fuel system. Totally worth it for the performance boost!

Maintenance is a small price to pay for a thrilling ride! What do you think about intercooler upgrades?
