who would win???? 335i vs. Z4M roadster

pchan866 · 07-17-2007, 07:57 PM

So do any of you guys know who might win??? All my friends are telling me that the 335i will because of the turbo, but the Z4M is a lot lighter. Thanks.

why don't you race and tell us the result?

I think there's been a few discussions on this. Maybe a search will help.

i wish i could. everytime i see someone driving one it's usually a old guy and he just laughs.

I searched on Yahoo! for some performance numbers and based on that, I think it would be a very close race. The figures are almost the same.

z4m would destroy a 335i in a race. they're ugly, but fast as hell.

Definitely ugly as hell.. can't wait to they re-design them. I had a regular Z4 smoke me pretty good, although I only own a 325i.. Euro bimmers are faster anyway I hear.

nusevad · 07-17-2007, 08:15 PM

the Z4M has the e46 M engine right? I would say the Z4M, after all it is a ///M.

dmboone25 · 07-17-2007, 08:18 PM

If it were a straight line race, I would guess it would be close--until higher speeds where I would guess the Z4 M would pull away. On a track, with twistys, I would think the smaller, lighter Z would also do better. Just guessing though.

Zeroday · 07-17-2007, 08:20 PM

I thought i saw a video posted on this site where a z4m smoked a 335i pretty badly..

JmanE55 · 07-17-2007, 08:26 PM

My guess is the z4 will win.

You can't see the 335i (closer to the camera) zoom by and end up ~ 1 CL ahead of the Z4M?

johnwoo19 · 07-17-2007, 08:36 PM

has anyone read the august edition of car and driver? i think the 335i beat the z4m around the track

Zeroday · 07-17-2007, 08:36 PM

terrible video.

That one was much better--at the higher speeds, the Z was just gone....

sflgator · 07-17-2007, 08:39 PM

Hey, I didn't do the video...just posted what someone else had posted (today in fact)...that's all. I know that it's a close race between a stock 335i and a stock Z4M; I also know that a PROcede 335i absolutely walks a stock Z4M.

Well as the brake lights start to mesh into the other lights because the camera doesn't zoom--it isnt that convincing. Watch the other video posted--its like 7 minutes--the 335 gets smoked twice, by a lot more than 1 CL....

oldaccount · 07-17-2007, 08:40 PM

yep, looks like the 335 got destroyed here
