LOL at someone comparing 335i's which are 3.0 Turbo 6cyls.
Yes, the aftermarket will respond to this car, no doubt. But they're not going to make 500+whp no problem. I think 400-440whp will be the absolute max WITH all of the bolt ons (turbo, intercooler, piping, exhaust, fuel, etc...). And the people who do that will be so excited to beat a 5.0 or keep up with one with bolt ons. Yea you saved 5k on the car, and spent in mods instead.
+1
Considering the fact that the ecoboost 3.5L maxes out around 450rwhp with 2 extra cylinders, larger turbos and more displacememt im guessing you will be hardpressed to get over 400rwhp out of the 2.3L. There is no point anyway, by the time you spend thousands in mods you couldve just bought a GT which will have over 400rwhp from the factory.
Id rather have 400rwhp with a warranty than 400rwhp thats tuned on the ragged edge and living on borrowed time. :bored:
