This is not putting any car down but the past 7 years in cars has been monumental in development and what you get as as standard package has improved as has technology.
Why spend big money modifying a car to be as fast as a superior car in the first place. Just buy the better car.
Im about to drop a load of cash on a 335D. This is a diesel car that remaped will develop 350 bhp on 750 nm of torque.. a road car...
Ok my car is quite specialist but nowadays you have to look at the cost of everything for what it gives.

sweet........is it saloon, coupe or estate ? i test drove an e92 coupe and then went home to way it up and sort the cash, next day i phoned up to pay a deposit and it had sold. !!
At that point i decided to try the petrol 335 before buying, i should have done that anyway but the diesel was so good i was convinced nothing could better it ...and im not sure the petrol does tbh, they are pretty much even in all aspects. I just found it a bit more exciting but im being picky tbh.
They're cracking cars im sure you will enjoy it, only thing that i wanted was a manual and as you know they don't do a manual 335d.
I suppose these days a manual doesn't give any better performance but i just like to stir the oil, feel a bit more in control etc.
Just a note, i'm a member on e90 forum and they say anything over 700nm torque and the gearbox's can start struggling.
Have you watched any remapped 335d videos on youtube....lmao at passenger reactions to 700nm, standard they are very rapid, remapped they are just brutal, and you can still get 45mpg, more on a run if your steady.
