[QUOTE="shlim8, post: 587483, member: 25063"] Ryou, thanks for sharing with me your experience on E93 vs E92. Certainly helps. I've test driven another E93 (it's the one I bought) and it's got more poke than the 1st car I tried. Certainly when starting off from rest it's got much more poke. I almost thought that the car I bought might have some performance mods, but my mechanic says everything looks stock. And yes, the E93 335i does feel like a NA engine (but a sizeable one !), very linear, no sudden kick in the back. Yes, it does feel heavy starting off from rest, but it still piles up speed pretty quick. It's a compromise for the hardtop vs the coupe, that's for sure. Do our stock downpipes have cats on them ? Don't want to have CEL coming on with deleted cats (very painful, from experience). Am also interesting in ecu tuning/piggyback, downpipes, bigger intercooler and bigger oil cooler, but that'll probably be a while later. With all the talk about the cooling on the 335i engine being marginal, has anyone tried sustained high high speeds on the highway ? Will the stock setup be able to handle that ? On one of previous ride, the oil temp really spikes up. I'll be using this car mainly for extended nshwy driving. Don't want to end up in limp mode. There is quite alot of E93 Msport (on sale) on 18" rims... almost 60-40 ratio. But like I said in prev post, I'm not sure all the cars I saw were original M sport, all 6 or 7 had the body kit, oil cooler, msport rims, msport steering, black roof lining. My car is white in color, so the bonnet interior color is coordinated, even if it's white undercoat.... haha. I find it very strange that BMW would paint the calipers on some cars and not on others. I was wondering if it's due to some options on the car ? Although I compared 2 cars and both had identical specs but one was late 2007 and the other early 2008, the 2008 had unpainted calipers. Unfortunately, didn't check to see if there were any 2007 with unpainted calipers. [/QUOTE]
