335 is already turbocharged

oh. i just saw 5.8 0-100km/hr or something and that seemed slow for turbo. dint know

its actually 0-60 in 4.8 in all the car mags. and you can slap a $1300 chip/ECU add on that will give it 60-70 more HP and 90-110lbft of torque instantly. once thats in, you are talking 0-60 in 4.5 or less and high 12's (with good traction) in the 1/4 mile. a sick fast car.

congrats, jfish, PM me for more chip info [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

There's no way that car runs a 4.8 0-60 unmodded. It's a nice looking car don't get me wrong, but it's not that fast.

If it ran a 4.8 it would be in m3 range and bmw would never allow that to happen. Granted we can shed off a few tenths and assume bmw is underrating the car on its website, but I still doubt it does 4.8 unmodded even though it has the stock turbo.

Don't want to sound like a hater I really like the ride.

Retard alert. What is a "SEP"?

[/ QUOTE ]

SEP-IRA.

It's a retirement plan for self-employed individuals. For some reason, the maximum contributions per year aren't the usually $15k or whatever a 401k is, but rather $45k.

It's by far the greatest tax break that professional poker players can receive and I'd guess 90% of them don't have one.

It's for the USA if that wasn't clear. Non-US resident need not care about any of this.

Actually the current 335 is almost as fast as the previous generation M3. And the 335 has much more low-end torque than the M3 due to the turbo.

BMW certainly can make their 3 series as good as the previous M3, because the NEW V8 400 hp M3 will be much faster...

4.9
4.8
4.9

From the 1st link: The 335i rips to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, 0.1 second slower than the current M3’s time, and the quarter-mile falls in 13.6 seconds at 105 mph, same as an M3.

By far? How is a SEP IRA "by far" better than a solo 401k?
