    Have you ran it out? I remember when the 335i first hit people were saying they were quick as could be down low, but ran out of steam up top.

    I am really growing to like the color too. I have always been a closet silver/gray hater but damn if the car doesn't look great ALL the time. Now that I am looking it seems like most BMWs around here are black or white anyway. The color fits in nicely with the white Evo and the blue VR-4

    Last night I finally got a chance to wind it out on a dry road with the intakes on and the JB4 cranked up. It's surprisingly very, very linear and strong up top given the poke it has down low. There is just so much torque down low you really don't expect so much pull on the top end. The car will happily chug along in 6th gear at 35mph, and it really has enough torque to easily pass slow moving traffic well below 2,000 RPM. It doesn't pull up top like my VR-4 with the ported/clipped DR650s above 5K but the VR-4 doesn't have that kind of torque down low either.

    Like I said before, you might be surprised... common wear items and parts are surprisingly not all that expensive. Maybe I am used to higher-priced-aftermarket cars but I have been impressed with basic parts costs. This car is significantly cheaper to mod than the Evo X.
