I actually had the opposite experience. Girlfriend (now wife) had an E90 335i and friend had an E92 335i, both automatics. Mine was SMG. I'd get a solid jump from the dig vs both (about a car), but by 50mph we'd be almost even and at 80mph they would be ahead by a half a car at least. I had wider tires than stock and these were consistent results. I was pissed.

IDK, just my experience, others will vary. I'm also at about 3700 ft. elevation in the TX summer so that hurts performance of an N/A motor as well.

I think they are about 3400-ish lbs. which is right around the neighborhood of the M3. I believe my M3 was quoted at about 3415 lbs. with the SMG, manuals are a little lighter.
