Finally You Got Your Car :) Nice Man :)

yeah lol and i took it for hardcore testdrive xD

Be careful of some of them 335i's with those "proceed" tunes (or is it preceed?)
they will pull pretty hard. but from a dig you got em. On a roll with the tune they will pull on us. Agian nice kill bro! :D

Thankss gotta kill more and more sooon :)

You raced from a dig.. the 335i has an open RWD rear, not exactly a launch car.

Race me on the highway and prepare for shame, hell i'll even leave it in 6th gear the whole way.

With proceed 94 octane tune and turbo-back exhaust I run 360whp. Turbo lag is not evident.

If the 335i owner agreed to race from a dig, then no excuses are valid.

He asked to race from a dig i told him i,ll give u 3 to 4 car lengthes he didnt believe me and asked for a proof here is the proof Boys!

Looks like from the vid that he had a very late launch. Ive raced 2 335 with the proceed tune and at my altitude they pull hard. But either way good kill i guess.

yeah i noticed he had a late lunch but u know when u racing keep an eye on the lights!

Any good pics or vids of your 335i navy? Would love to see it. Was my second choice after the srt8. And am very impressed with the rwhp your putting out with just that tune and turbo back. Cant wait to see how the 335i's with the tune, would fair against the 08' M3's.

Yeah i agree to but when i race i usually could care less who wins or loses unless the the other guy is a d bag. I just like seeing how close the race is in a fair race where both people get good launches and shows the full potential of each car. Race him again and see how close it is then.

ya some of those 335i's are beast's but it the end it all comes down to a drivers race..stop light racing or 1/4 mile track..

i would be more worried about the new i335 thats coming to the states late in the yr..same engine as the 335i faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile times and about 980 lbs lighter and loaded for 33 g's according to road and track ...

You mean the 135i?

Agreed, your aftermarket tuner would probably spank my 99% stock BMW :o

I see a new lease in my future.

Yeah the first thing everyone ask is "Is there a full 5 year power-train warrenty under that hood"?

I bet the ladies love it.

Yea that would be nice aswell. But was just seeing which 3 series would be quicker. The 135i looks very promising, smaller and looks a bit more aggresive than the 335i. Just a little bit worried about how much less room the 135 has compared to the 3 series. Both hot cars though.;)

I bet the ladies love it too.......And with your 20k in mods :eek: ...you oughta be able to spank him........But just in case you didn't, or when that inevitably faster car than you out there spanks you, you will still have had (at least in your opinion) "the hottest car on campus", and that alone should keep you smiling....:D

Here's some picts of my wife's

until BMW USA finds out about your 99% stock BMW ;)

i've heard horror stories of warranties being voided on 335s for simply changing tires, i don't imagine they would take the proceed too well

Not flaming you here, Dave, but every time I read this type of post I get a bit fired up. I am referring to the "I've heard horror stories" part. Not doubting what you heard, or saying you are wrong, but it's kind of like "the sky is falling". Heard it from who? A friend of a friend who's dealer said this or that or what?

No dealer, and I mean no dealer, can make the final call to void a warranty simply on their own. It is a contract between you and DCX, BMWUSA or any manufacturer, not the retailer or servicing entity. Period. This makes me think back to the "old" days when automotive warranties first came out, and all the confusion amongst the customers/dealers whether you had to take your vehicle back to the selling dealer for warranty work. The answer of course being "NO".

I am not going to rant on the M-F act, but it has to be proven that a specific aftermarket part is responsible for whatever the failure in question is. There are thousands of BMW owners for instance running Dinan, AA, DA, Proceed, and other manufacturers software in their BMW's whose warranties are not affected.

I am one of them, and in my case my dealer actually has it in the CPU to do no software updates or flashes of any kind that might effect my tune whenever I am in for service. I also have aftermarket wheels and am +1 on my tire sizing.

The only thing I am aware of regarding tires, and I followed that horror story from beginning to end, was a case where one dealer tried to refuse a trans repair saying it was the result of non factory wheel size and tires. The BMW district guy in that case agreed to allow the dealer to refuse to fix. However, an arbitrator, who we all have the right to use, basically told those attempting to refuse the repair, to get real, read the law, and fix the guys car.

As I said, I am not flaming you, but often these stories we hear are so unfounded, and each and every one of us needs to utilize any and all tools available to us when a warranty issue arises on any product, whether from DCX, BMW, Best Buy, home builders, whoever.

Personally, I've never had a problem or refusal on warranty work. If it ever happens, I can assure you unless there is a direct obvious correlation between my modification and the part failure, I am certainly not going to let anyone "attempt" to void my warranty, while I just walk away saying "Oh, okay". To me, it's kind of like "show me the money". In other words, prove to me that the modification performed, was a direct, or even in some cases, an indirect contributor to the failure that occurred.

Sorry to be so long winded, but I hate to think that any of us would not persue any action that is allowed to us when there is a dispute over their attempt to void a specific warranty provided us by an items manufacturer.

Just my 25 cents.

I read it on the E90 site and I should've been more specific that it was BMW USA that supposedly voided the warranty and not the dealer (why would the dealer want to refuse warranty work? they get paid eitherway, better to have a happy customer). Of course they can't void the entire warranty, only the parts they claim to be affected by your after market modification. In that case it was the drive train and I would wager that the only reason it got cleared up was because of the negative publicity it garnered. Sure the Magnusson Moss act reads in our favor but at the end of the day who has the resources to fight a huge corporation with its own legal staff dedicated to these issues over a repair that likely wont tally more than a few grand?

Its more of a good faith thing on behalf of the manufacturer and the dealer imo. Jeep and my dealer have been good to me in the past and I haven't heard any horror stories so I will be confident modding my SRT8. If any of these proceeded 335s come in with the tune still in them and a blown engine or transmission (weren't they having transmission and engine issues anyways?) and BMW USA finds out about it (better trust your dealer to work for you here and get that proceed off your vehicle before the BMW rep checks it out) do you really think they'll warranty that work?

(why would the dealer want to refuse warranty work? they get paid eitherway, better to have a happy customer)

2 reason that I can think of -

1) Warranty work generally pays less than customer pay work

2) More importantly, if the dealer feels that BMW won't cover the warranty in question, then the dealer does not want to get stuck with the bill.
