The first duel: BMW 335i vs CLK 350
A german carmag, Autozeitung tested BMW 335i against CLK 350 :)
I dont have more details than these but I think its enough. The CLK 350 was rated better in chapters auto body and driving comfort, but the 335i was very close. The 335i was better in chapters engine/transmission and driving dynamics, Particulary engine and driving dynamics was a lot better in 335i than in CLK350. Both cars were tested with Automatic gearbox. Following amazing times were meassured: 335i / CLK 350 0-100 km/h in 5,3 sec / 6.5 sec 0-160 km/h in 11,9 sec / 14.5 sec 0-200 km/h in 18,7 sec / 23.3 sec Slalom: 64,5 km/h to 61,0 km/h. Laptime around their track: 1:46,0 min to 1:50,4 min. They also mentioned the 335i was faster than M3 E46 SMG around their track, tested in an earlier issue. |
I'm looking forward for that M3 if the 335 can beat the old one, wow!
Rather have the 335 over the CLK... |

I think it will be even more interesting for BMW tuners to get their hands on this engine as well as the new E92 chassis..
And yes, I would definitely pick the BMW over the Benz ;) |
That sounds pretty slow for the CLK... The weight is nearly the same as an SLK 350, yet the SLK 350 does 0-100 in 5.5 seconds, and the gearbox is the same.
*shrug* However, doing better then an E46 SMG sounds incredible, makes it seem like whoever drove the E46 wasn't as good a drive as the person who drove the 335i (unless I'm missing out on something else over here?). |
If that thang had an LSD it would be the bargain sports/lux/coupe of the decade.
|
eh just add about 1500 for lsd and its still a bargain. maybe another <1k for chip if so inclined. sitll a bargain. i want one. right now.

The performance of the 335i is getting very close to the one from the current M3, so i guess the next M3 is gonna be a very fast and powerful car
|
^^^ LOL jorge....... You said "gonna"
Im not sure where Puebla is, but it looks u have taken up some of our American slang. It'l be fucked up is Puebla is some city in America and i'm just a dumbass :? |

|
I'll take the 335 over the Merc anyday!
|
