If it's not then I will walk away and either keep the current 3.0l, go Porsche even get a pipe,slippers and a Mercedes

....Or a 5k mile showroom fresh 35is in black.......I might happen know where there is that very thing....

... And then when you are used to the 340, a quick update puts you at 400

Don't worry - it keeps going 'ping' 'ping' 'ping' on my radar!
All joking apart it's certainly an option if this all goes belly up.

Just pulling your leg Ronk, hopefully all will be well, I'm sure sense will prevail.

I know but it's always worth having a plan !
They ( the dealers) are running out of time now.

There is only one downside to having a 35is...

You wont have a Z4 to upgrade to.....

Awesome car and you will never get bored of how it drives,a 3.0 is not even in the same ballpark..

You can expect:

1. Massive acceleration on dual carriageways with roundabouts. Exit roundaround, smash the throttle, warp speed.
2. more visits to petrol stations
3. Pointless gearchanges for sound effect (remember when you were 17?)
4. Realising that there is no going back with bhp. 340 now the new entry level.

I think I said that the sales wallah said chalk and cheese! It seems he may be right reading this - only trouble is those first 1200 miles!

Oooooh !
That would make her ladyships 335 feel like a limp lettice .

Yes, the chaps in the states continue to push the boundaries. I've now seen a 700hp 335i auto with RB turbos, lsd, bolt on upgrades only, inlet and e85 blasting a viper on the drag strip. Mind boggles.

SSP performance have 1000ftlb clutch packs for our gearboxes....

I think with 20k you could have a reliable 700+ hp 35is...

But now I'm focused on property so I must resist the urge.

Do it Stuart...scratch the itch, you won't rest until you've built the mad as a box of frogs thing...!!

That would be an insane car, fun for a bit but ultimately not usable. That is if you lived long enough to grow tired of it of course...

John, 600 WHP (700+ crank), very usable - did you notice how stable it is under power? I think with the right map (say 400 on comfort and 600 on sport) this is perfect
