Narcosis Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi all. I recently picked up a 2010 335xi coupe, steptronic, black on black. Found a reference to wibimmers on mnbmw, so I thought I'd head over here and register. This is my first BMW, and I'm glad I finally made the step up. I've been modding small displacement forced induction imports since 1993 and can't wait to do a couple of basics to this beastie. Cheers.

Narcosis Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 3 DSMs, a MKIV Supra, a couple of A4's and the currently for sale Subaru. Looking forward to see what the stock turbo setup can do on this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Serious question, why would you ever sell an MKIV supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcosis Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I miss Colorado dearly. I'm a MN native and my wife a WI native, but we spent 20 yrs in Colorado. Coming back to the midwest was hard, but it was the right thing to do. The snow here sucks. Snap - you lived in Colorado? We were in Boulder initially and ended up in Castle Rock.

Brian. Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I get what you're saying. Looks nice though! How much power did you squeeze out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosis Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I get what you're saying. Looks nice though! How much power did you squeeze out of it? It was in rough shape when I got it, ended up popping a motor on the dyno playing with nitrous. After a new shortblock/turbo/injectors/header/exhaust/electronics/crappy tune by myself it made 636 rwhp at 23psi. For our 'border war' events (Colorado vs Wyoming) I'd run it at 30psi. Fun little street car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sounds like it scoots! Nice reliable amount of power, not crazy, not slouching either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
