Case in point, last event at Infineon I drove my 400+ whp 335i with full suspension, tires, etc. You know who was faster than me? My instructor in his 70's BMW 2002. Granted, the thing was race...

I'll wait and allow others to be the guinea pig.

I will probably go square to keep the balance and allow for rotation. May increase width but likely just good summer tires will do the trick. ...

I won't deny that these featherweights are great fun. In fact, that's why I almost threw practicality out the window and got the s2000 over the 335i. Then common sense kicked in and reminded me I...

They're 19" VMR 701's. That picture is roughly a year old. Need a new photoshoot as I've since upgraded sideskirts, bumper, lip spoiler and vented hood.

Again, this thread is about comparing the BRZ to a 335i. The only way they compare at a similar price point is used vs new. And you can get a used CPO for roughly the same price as a new BRZ. So...

Most people know auto manufacturers use pads for the masses. That means pads that have less noise, cost and/or dust. Those properties are not commonly found in aggressive track pads.

I say pads,...

Looks great but for what will likely be 4-5k more, I'd rather go aftermarket. Need power mods or not worth it.

Roof and hood won't make it. Brakes look nice but probably aren't needed on this...

When I bought my 335, I was cross shopping that with the s2000CR. Obviously two totally different cars. I nearly pulled the trigger on the much less practical CR but the lack of rear seats and need...

I can understand where Subft86 is coming from. It's nice not having to downshift or red line when making a pass. The BRZ will most definitely be more fun to experience around a corner nut when it...

So anyway....

For those that track, the 335 has trouble staying limp mode free for anything more than autocross. Expect to implement some cooling mods and turn boost down. On the street, it's...

Am I the only one not excited for a battery strut bar?! Put the money elsewhere. Start/stop button does look nice. Hope the fob doesn't have to leave your pocket.

Agreed. And what's with that tie down? Seems way excessive. Let's come up with meaningful mods.

LSD is a must and yes, I have one. Arguably the best mod on this car. I'm very careful at the strip but still keep every limb crossed. Don't want to lose a half shaft. I know a couple guys that have...

Another thing, if you aren't taking it to the track, a 25k used 335i will make more sense in most cases than a new 25k FRS/BRZ.

I also own an e92 335i with 430 whp. I take it to the strip and road course regularly. Even with all my mods, I still find it lacking on a road course. Yes, I eat up many cars on the straights and...
