Is the 335 e92 fast?

Hello from a long time reader, 1st time poster. My story is: I went to Iraq, ordered an e92 in Iraq, came back to my base in Germany about a month ago, picked up the 335 two days later... fell in love.

I went on vacation and got to put on some miles to break her in. Put some nice snow tires on, passed the 1200-mile-break-in a few days ago, waited for no traffic and a dry straight road and I let her go on the autobahn..... DAMN. Seemed like there was a little more to give too.


Man, I love this car.

Nice, you didn't waste time opening her up after break-in!

I have a pic of my odometer at 1200 miles...however, I'm was going ZERO miles per hour at the time. You were going slightly faster, I think. lol

Nice. Just curious though, are the snow tires rated for 150?

There are V-rated snows (149+), but you have a point, would be warmer and fuzzier to wind it out with the summer tires. Many snows are only HR rated...

Thanks! Some people seem confused with me going to Iraq instead of coming back. Anyways, I'm back into the heart of Bavaria in the backwoods of Graf/Vils. The armpit of army duty stations in Europe.

Thank you for your service.

Awesome to see you taking advantage of the car in Germany.

I have to say having been out with a Lambo and a few GT2 Porsche's (some highly modified) and man they make you realize that the 335 is just a quick car. Not fast at all.

Wouldn't German Cars be in Kilometers first, and then MPH?

Great Pic!

I was in Munich in October. It was great to be able to drive 150mph legally!

Yeah, I've been thinking about going back there after this tours done, but I'll be damned if I'm going to live in Graf/Vilseck. Me thinks Ft. Irwin is next.

Was Simon Flatman your SA? Good guy. Hes mine for the 550i I'm buying.

I spent quite a few weeks in that wonderful area when our unit came up from Vicenza to train. +1000 on the "armpit" of duty stations. Welcome back bro and congrats on the car, I know how you feel. Sucks I'm in the hospital right now and miss mine SO much......

I was about to tear into you and ask you if you think you're cool after posting a pic of you at the limiter, but then I actually read the post and realized the title was in jest and you're in Germany. Awesome pic.
