I use to think my 335 was slow

RRGOO7 · 05-02-2007, 05:18 PM

until i drove my friends 2000 Izuzu 5-speed pickup.....

Today i drove the pickup for about 2 hours and i guess i got used to it. After i got in my E92 and floored it i was pinned back in the seat and was shocked.

....I guess i just got used to the power of the 335 but after i drove the truck the 335 is a dream.

I know the feeling. After you get used to the power, you don't feel like your car is that fast anymore. But this is just a hallucination...

I usually look at how fast the speedometer increases to remind me what a beast the 335 is.

Very true.

Feeling the speed in this car isn't easy, very deceiving.

so true...I think my car is slower some days than others, but my speedometer seems to move at the same rate, I guess. Then I drive my girlfriends 4 banger Accord and then go back into my car and it seems fast as hell!

It's funny how that works!

Tropicool · 05-02-2007, 06:31 PM

the car also feels slower than it is because it is sooooo smooth, and has a linear torque curve.

ebanul · 05-02-2007, 06:48 PM

I was thinking the same thing, thought mine was getting slower. Took my friend for a ride the other day and he was like "man I love that feeling in my stomach, this thing is fast".

RRGOO7 · 05-02-2007, 07:25 PM

lol i was to quite honest going to post something up about my 335 being slow but now that i drove that pickup my mind has compltely changed

pittyinSC · 05-02-2007, 07:28 PM

I found driving a 325i loaner around for 6 weeks waiting for your fuel pump to come in is another GREAT way to learn to appreciate the beast that lives under the hood of my 335i coupe

I drove my old man's GTS viper for a few month when I was without a car and believe it or not it didn't seem very fast anymore after 60 days.. even though it trapped 119 stock! Funny how you get used to things.

pittyinSC · 05-02-2007, 08:25 PM

Actually even worse haha 92 Range Rover to S55

Bubbarossa · 05-02-2007, 08:55 PM

Yep, when i drive my 2000 Jeep Wrangler it's the same feeling, and that still has 190hp with 4.56 gears and 34inch tires!
