That BIM throws down.
Anyone know what kit (or mod list) or fuel the BMW was running?
It said FBO, with E85, Meth, and the Auto transmission. IDK what bolt ons though.
FBO in the N54/N55 world usually means intake, intercooler, downpipes, midpipes (for N54s), and maybe an axleback.
As for fueling, it's probably running an e40 to e60 mix unless it has port or throttle body injection.

Thats interesting to know.
Good runs, expected outcome though.
Good stuff. My brother had an 08 335i. The DCT is very quick.
Good to know, but the video said E85.
We don't usually specify what e85 mix we run for the most part. But if he is running straight e85, he has to have port injection or throttle body injection at the very least. The high pressure fuel pump is just not capable of supplying enough fuel to run it straight.
Oh so in the BMW community, E85 doesn't necessarily mean E85? odd.
Kinda like "cam only" lol. Just take a look at the Dinan Performance site. It mentions this in their staged packages and tunes.
This makes me miss my 335i! Fast car that got great gas mileage to boot.
How much $$$$ in mods would someone say this BMW had invested in it?
More than you can afford, pal.
E85 MIX We mix E85 with 91. Running straight E85 is a big no no to the stock fuel pump but mixing is fine as long as its not done every day. People usually mix 25% E85, 50%, etc Depending on the setup and boost you want to use. Its not straight E85 like you’re thinking.
FBO means Full Bolt On i.e every possible bolt on performance part you can put without taking the engine apart.

Don't forget to add a tune to that mod list. 335 is no joke. I put my E90 into the 12s with just Cobb AP OTS map & BMS DCI.
