I remember reading (when in the forums over there) that the 335 actually has something more like 330hp stock, not the 300 they claim. It has approximately 300whp stock I believe... maybe someone can correct me, but either way, unless you're on a track or in the twisties our fwd mini coopers aren't much competition.
Ohh ok, i thought you knew something i didnt... Yeah the 335 is a awesome vehicle but when you start modding it doesnt stop but the modding is 12k instead of 5k..

Its true, competition is such a difficult thing but with 250whp you can run with the oem guys all night long. Sometimes its nice to be able to just keep up with a great car like the 335i.

It will not take much. I traded my 335 in today on an MCS after being in the shop 11 times for a total of 5 weeks in the last year. Just wait to race until his HPFP is on the way out, or his coils/plugs. If his car is running properly, there is nothing you can do to keep up with a mild tuned 335. But your MCS is way more fun = win.

Don't forget the software recall that they can't figure out how to update on some of the cars
