The 335's are a little faster than the old M3, a buddy of mine in an automatic 335 raced another buddy in a m3 with the smg and the 335 edged out the m3, the torque from the turbo motor rules. the aftermarket already has a piggy back controller that is supposed to give antother 85 hp and i think 85 ftlbs.

I'm not sure what it is but the trans is the only thing I haven't grown accustomed to. It's the 6spd auto but the shift feel is like an electronically shifted manual trans (for lack of a better description) vs. a *traditional* auto transmission.

also the 330d turbo diesel should be out in the fall of next year and it is supposed to have like 280 hp and 400+ ftlbs its supposed to be almost as fast as the 335's
pull the shifter to the left into the "sport" gate and it will shift quicker. they work pretty good. in normal mode they are just trying to make it shift as smooth as possible.
