The reflashed upgrade necessitates the installation of either BMW's or Dinan's oil cooler, but once the Bimmer's brain is reprogrammed, throttle response is sharpened, the top-speed governor is removed and power levels jump to 384 hp at 5,700 rpm and a kidney pummeling 421 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,300 rpm. Just get yourself a Dinan chip and be done with it. Or sell the Bimmer, and get an Infiniti G37. Replies to this message: roadburner (Sep 23, 2008 4:33 am)

The 335i's reign may be comming to an end depending on the reviews and pricing of this new Audi S4. That is a fact. It's exciting to all enthusiasts..no matter which car they own. Nobby fanBoys wouldn't understand. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/autoshows/paris/2008/audis4unveilednews.html There may yet be hope for 2008 with this new S4. http://www.carspace.com/blogs/enthusiastsdilemma08/2008----an-enthusiast-s-disap- - pointment- Joseph San Diego 08 335i Sedan, manual, Sports Pkg, BMW Assist, Blk/Blk/Alum <--better torque! 06 330i Sedan, step, sports, prem, prem sound, Slvr/Blk/Burlwood <-- missed Replies to this message: kdshapiro (Sep 23, 2008 9:45 am)

You bought a car that's already a has been? :sick You have not done your homework. :mad Others have tried with more horsepower, e.g. G37, and have failed. Audi already bests BMW in a number of areas, just not in the area of benchmark status.
