Anyone got any vids of their 335i?

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:58 pm

I'm planning this conversion, i've now slowly started to collect the bits I need but was wandering if anyone has any vids of their 335i in action to inspire me even further! Just to hear what it sounds like etc etc!
I've seen andy335itouring's vid from his website and its teasing cos it doesn't go on long enough!!!

Ta very muchly

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 8:41 pm

Sooooooooo tempting, let me get back to you tomorrow when I've found out exactly where I have to be on Sunday afternoon at what time! Becasue I don't know definate times yet - I have to be in Burton at a certain time and I guess it's about 20 mins to half an hour's drive from Long Eaton?

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 8:48 pm

Make it a bit earlier if you want ? 1 ish ?

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:17 pm

Now we're talking!! I'll pm you tomorrow mate to let you know for sure!

Awesome, I cannie wait!

the m30 conversion is a very good conversion. but alot of work.

the torque is unreal, even with the 210bhp e34 motor(can be bought off ebay for about Ã‚£350, including nasty council owned e34). your looking at about 100mph in about 16/17 odd seconds with the standard engine. thats quick enough for our roads.

i have yet to go in andys car, but ive heard good storys.

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:42 pm

Andy, Is this an invite for anybody close enough??

Would love to feel the power of the 3.5

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:49 pm

double post

I'm not certian, but I'm fairly sure I read last night that the E39 M5 did 0-100mph in 17secs!!!

The 335i can't be this fast can it! I had also planned to tickle some more power out as I heard 240-260bhp is not an unreasonable expectation from this motor!

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:43 pm

The M5 is quicker than that to 100mph i think ? Cica 13-14 secs ?

M30 with a cam and chip/remap is going to be around 240bhp ish

Post Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:54 pm

Im going to aim for 230bhp out of the M50

My bad, it was 0-124mph in 17secs, I should think before I speak as our old Edirty6 M3 non-evo did 100 in about 13secs and I thought that was frickin' quick!

Put my name on ages ago thinking it would be ready!

But its money not time keeping this Project SLOW. Im not working at the moment, so I have to ask the wife for money

All she keeps saying is...........

Food or Parts?

Guess what I say

Post Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:06 pm

tesco value spaghetti with value beans on... a meal for 10p!!!!

parts man, damn it, parts!!!!! you have a duty to show everyone this thing!!!!!!

i've put my name down for both meets... would be rude not to bring the tourer!

not been to the ace cafe before... is there anywhere to 'test' say a 'standard' 335i touring against a tweaked one? (eg, how much faster is andys one!!!!!)

As to the thread title says i tried taking a small vid clip but it's a bit boring TBH and i was running out of light, i'll try to get some thing better over the week end.

Post Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:31 pm

Post Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:31 pm

I uploaded the clip, it's just a standing start, bit of wheel spin in first and second etc

I must record some thing better and i need some kind of editing soft ware.

The rattley noise as i brake is the junk in the back flying around

Post Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:45 pm

hehe! nice vid! scary looking debris though

sorry but even though the 2.5 M20 is nice, the 3.5 M30 is just in a different class! bmw should have offered it as standard!!!

wheelspin in second with decent suspension, rwd and a LSD is just proper!

i don't use 1st for 'playing' any more... 2nd gear donuts in the dry at half throttle and 3000 rpm. it's just lazy!

Post Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:50 pm

Gareth - hows it going mate? Im gonna be at that Ace meet on the 13th, would love to have a ride in your touring if possible?? Please!(not near speed bumps though) thinking of a project for summer, and the 3.5 is a definate option! I owe you a drink n'all.

Theo

Post Fri Apr 21, 2006 10:04 pm

hopefully i'll be there... i am moving near then (could be that weekend if i'm unlucky) but i'd happily take you for a spin.

i should be ok over speed bumps as long as the rear seats are empty!
