[scanning] Sportauto Supertest: BMW 335i

[Sunny]

Did they test with the run flat tires (it says RFT in the scan) whihc makes the numbers even more impressive, just replacing the RFT with some performance tires would gain huge amounts of time. Of course it is already faster than S4 on both tracks.

yes it was....

However Heavier rims can also be detrimental to performance. The increase in unsprung weight is very bad for performance and the heavier rotating weight is worse to an exponential degree than lighter wheels. The car will lose horse power along with worse suspension responce....

the tiresize wont make huge differences. If the 335i had LSD diff then the differences would be larger, better laptime than the M3 I believe.

Your right. If the 335 wasnt on run flats and had a limited slip dif I think we would have seen the M3 get smashed....This really is an impressive car and some awesome results.
