Not to sure about the money being better. 09 GTR ( No GPS, No Launch Control) is about $120000 that is a $60000 drop and $20000 more expensive then more this car. 2009 335I DCT about $90000 that is a $25000 drop.

I thought the ADM '09 GTR had launch control (big debate on the R35 forum about this, but it ended up being solved)

  • 1 month later...

Ok so I finally got a chance to take some pictures when out for a drive.

The BMW Performance Package has made a huge noticeable difference to response and turbo sound. Not a real good idea to turn off all the assists now.

Launch is brutal now and easy 4 second times to 100km/h :rofl:

Anyway still loving the drive, sound (oww that rumble sound) and comfort for the long drives we do. The looks, never get sick of the lines and the rims (aghh hot rims) Very happy till the 2012 GTR turns up :thumbsup:

Those interested enjoy..

yeah very bloody nice.

only problem is that going by another thread in here, due to the car your driving half the members wont flash warn you of a cop hiding in the bushes...just one of the hazards of driving a pimp 335i i guess...i would still have one (and a GTR of course).

Yes I guess some people have a problem with European cars (thinking drivers are rich or snobs) but I guess its no worse then when I owned the GTT and every other person thinks your a hoon

even though your driving better then half the people on the road. (Wouldn't stop me from buying another Skyline or a GTR.)

I suppose lucky for me I drive a fair bit for a living so don't speed ( to many hidden cameras and D cars) or though sometimes you have to watch these highway on ramps. lol :whistling:

I would post in or join a BMW forum if there was a good one but in saying that i was just showing everyone what we got and still have a great love for the Skylines and GTR so Member for life i guess.

Thanks for the comments.

What does the performance package consist of?

Intake / Exhaust..?

No it is a retune (more boost andmapping change) Additional water cooler, air vents and largerventilator fan to keep things cool.

This is about the limit for factory warranty backed tuning.Heaps of options to get mega power and torque but hey 250kw @ 5500rpmand 450+ nm @ 1200 to 5000rpm is heaps when mated with the DCT. NotGTR power but the suspension, tyres, DCT, ect make the car handle andperform awesome on twist mountain roads and power is always there.

By the way it would be hard to touch exhaust as it has such a great note under throttle with a nice burble when reved, but then quite if not in sports mode. Check back tomorrow I will try and record the sound and post it here for opinions. :thumbsup:

Just hope I will still allowed to come on cruise days.. :yes: ?

I see.

What does the additional Water Cooler, cool?

Is it for cooling the turbo / oil lines, for enhanced durability / minimize heat soak?

And yes, from my understanding, Euro exhaust systems are quite good.

Enhanced durability when under heavy stress and less heat soak from what i can determine.

They do offer the tune only without the bolt on parts so I guess it is purely if you do track work, mountain roads etc that put the car under a constant heavy load.

Exhaust burble sound during engine overrun conditions more noticeable after tune.

Very interested in the new M3 now i must say as they will possibly be a Turbo again....

Sounds good for a factory warranty backed upgrade.

I would have preferred the E92 M3 to have the 335i engine.

But the V8 seems good as it is.

True it is a high reving V8 and not to heavy so has a lot going for it. Wekk what about the new TTV8 from the M5? Mind you huge power is not everything i guess as it comes down to the overall package.

End of the day the N55 is a great engine for a 3L 6 Turbo, seems strong and has good history. I am sure if they had used it in the E92 with some more tuning it would be a wepon as i now have more torque then a stock M3 so it just needs top end work.

The new M5 would be an awesome cruiser.

But I still prefer the look of the E60 M5.

Run a tad more boost for more top end in your 335i?

come on cruises for sure, we will just stick you up the back so you dont break up the look of the convoy. in the end though its all about the good company and damn fine pies, look forward to climbing all over your nice leather interior and hearing that V8 burble at the inevitable lunch stop!

sounds like a fine package, going to keep it and mod it further after the warranty goes or keep upgrading to something new?

Funny you should both say this. Today i dropped into the tuner shop and booked in for friday morning power run to see what sort of power i am getting.

Got to talking about some work the have done on the N54 models and the want to look at the current map and see if they can play with it and possible headers makes a huge improvement.

Was just going to leave it as is but maybe just a little more work. :P Headers shouldn't void anything. Tried to post a sound file but it wont let me :mad:

    • Yeah this was also my suspicion, that pineapples exist to reinforce the OEM bushes because people CBF taking the subframe out to do it. Basically that pineapples and subframe lock collars perform the same intended task. The cup still bolts in under the bush/crush tube.. as to how it'll go I don't know. Two of the bushes at the back look mostly the right shape. The ones up front clearly have the impressions left by the pineapples. Time will tell whether this will work/make any difference. Ideally I would not want any lock collars or pineapples, I'd just want the bush to do the job of the bush. Time will tell if the car works correctly with only the poly bushes in the state they're in. Worth seeing, I think.  What panel work are you looking at? I'm shelving everything from the A pillar forward because it's shit/doesn't function and this was before I drove off at the track and then drove into somebody! A second hand Reo and brackets is $1000, which is just cray when Mr.Hammer turns this piece of metal in regular metal shape.. considering it needs to be drilled to be adapted to the GTR headlight brackets anyway... So I'm all for $0 instead of $2000 (new 34 GTR reo) for the same result lol.
    • I think he's already demonstrated that that's the way he's treating it post the paint jail release.
    • Yep that makes sense, thanks! I guess flogging these turbos in winter is more preferrable lol.
    • Bahahaha, bloody hell Greg. You've got bent and broken things, but instead, you're replacing perfectly good items. This story keeps getting more gregged!   Also, I'd 100% replace that reo if I were in your shoes, unless you panel beater is REALLY good. Even if you put another GTT one on there. Just because you've done so much nice body work lately, I'd say repair the body work fully  If it were more drift car spec, I'd be all "Hit it with a hammer and send it!"
    • There's a fair chance that my bushes are Nismo, because I'm reasonably sure that when asked the question (when putting the subframe into the car in ~2012) "What bushes do you want to run?", I'm pretty sure I would have answered "The stiff ones!". I had to put some silicone grease onto the GKTech inserts I jammed into them last week, because the bushes were quite resistant to having something jammed up their jacksies. So, I reckon you'll be best off doing Nismo + inserts. And, if I'd known you had PU bushes in the subframe AND PU pineapples, I perhaps would have said earlier that that's probably not a good idea. The pineapples are only intended to work with the stock type bushes, because those have a crush tube (which is what makes it end up looking like there is sloppy space in there - but doesn't, because the crush tube does make contact steel to steel) and the pineapples live in the space between the subframe's outer tube and the lower washer/bracket. But the PU bushes don't leave the space in the same way that the stock format ones do, and they do end up fighting for space. Order some bushes and collars and get to it.
