Just got a 2007 335i coupe 6MT with new turbos, wastegates, injectors, and recently cleaned out with walnut shell blast. Soon after getting it, I picked up the Procede open flash tablet and flashed it with their stage 0 map.
My 99 e36 M3 has about 260hp as it is configured, and has instantaneous throttle response that is very torquey, and it accelerates really quickly.
This 335i, with a ton more hp (Procede says 380hp/400lbs with stage 0 if I understood them correctly), should beat the pants off the m3, but it's throttle response feels completely different, like it's lacking torque big time, but flies as boost comes on up to 16lbs-18lbs around 4k rpm or so I think.
I'm really confused about why this 335i doesn't have the neck snapping throttle response of the M3. This is the first boosted motor I've ever owned, and don't know what my expectations should be compared to my M3 that I've had for the last 10 yrs (and still love!).
Could you share your thoughts about this, or enlighten me a little?
Thank you
