Any modded (flashed/tuned) 335i owners in Charlotte NC?

As the title states, just seeing if I could get a feel of what to expect before I get any certain tune.

Thanks!

I'm not close enough for a demo but I can tell you that you won't be dissapointed with the extra power of any of the tunes.

Sounds good, had an offer for a ride/drive in a jb+ equipped 135. Just have to find the time now to try and get up with him. With work killing me it will be tough this week and I have to help a friend move this weekend so hopefully next week/weekend sometime I can get up with him.

I'd also be curious if any locals had the GIAC flash. I don't really plan to do much other than a tune myself.

If you are interested in a flash I strongly suggest you contact TopSpeed here in GA. They will reflash your car with a custom tune. Much better than an off the shelf tune.

Funny you mention it because thats the route I plan to go when the time comes. I have spoken with Cicio quite a bit, I just want to get a feel of how the car feels after it. I'm coming from a 460rwhp Corvette that weighed 3300 with me in it so Im not expecting anything like that, I guess I just want too feel it before I buy it, I guess try it before I buy it could work in this instance as well.

I can imagine, the Bimmer has a much better interior.

That it does, honestly that is one of the reasons to moving on from the C5. the interior just wasn't easy on the eyes.

Cicio will be glad to take you for a spin in his 135, or toss you the keys. I would be glad to give you a spin if im off when your in town. I think we've pm'd several months back haven't we?

Yes we have, if it was a little closer I would drive up. If you are ever planning to be in or near the area please shoot me a pm. Test riding in yours would be perfect actually since its the route Im looking to go.

I am going to euro wise this week to get wheels tires, dual intake, springs and a flash... I can PM you after everything is done...

I looked into doing a group buy a months back for some JB3 PnP's I need 5+ people and only could find 3 kinda 4.... I can talk to those guys again and see if they'd offer that to me again, Id rather have the 80+ HP a JB 3 can give then a standard tune, but just gotta get people in on it.
