Calling for all E92 and E93 owners!!!

Re: Calling for all E92 and E93 owners!!!

perhaps you can elaborate on what you mean by "handling not sporty enough". as compared to?

and the "cranky gearbox at low rpm" is perhaps because you have "reset an [sic] new adaptation" to shift up later, so at low rpms the gearbox is hunting for the right gear?

Hello
Recently get 335 i coupe and not happy with:
-Handling not sporty enough
-DCT gear box ,in auto mode , shifting too early even after re set an new adaptation
- Cranky gear box at low rpm

Just re sent car to pml ,now need to go for malaysia twisty road or soon to twisty road or PG track to see uf better

What are your experiences with 335 handling, DCT gear box..?

Thanks to all

Re: Calling for all E92 and E93 owners!!!

thanks Jinnoi
Disapointed with its handling
- steering not accurate and some time vague, not enough road feed back trought sterring, front wheels not incisive enough.
- most crtitical to me, car can seat properly only in ecelent oad quality when cornering hard, slight no uniformity of the road make the front shoks, floating.

I have no expeience with at all with 335' e 92 and would like to know its behavior is normal because heavy car and not perfect hanling or if i may have issue with car.
fYI
I haved with presurre tyre, no much changes
I have bring car to pml:
Some rubber bush replaced ( top front shoks)
Steering pump and valve has not been checked even if requested

Need know to try it out in ..

Thanks again

sharing some photos of my other poison... ICE...
sigh.. busy busy busy.... had not have the time to get it tuned yet... but anyway... pics first...

source: clarion HX-D2... still like this head unit from previous install, so went back to it...

front stage: 2-way, ground zero plutonium tweeters. had some earlier reservations abt the a-pillar, but installer was able to do it to a near-stock look... so thumbs up. had a tough choice between this and the higher range model, which was clearly better but in the end thought it is an overkill for me. the sound... is beautiful in my view...

ground zero nuclear 6.5" mid bass... this took a fair bit of measurement and discussion to decide. end result as can see is smooth and not too 'loud'... only slightly tricky thing is the passenger might sometimes not be as careful and kick the fella... grills is a must...

these are powered by ground zero reference 4 ch amp... and i must say, this is probably the soul of this setup. yes, every component plays its own part and is integral to the system, but this amp is simply a beauty...

this is the top, which one can see from the boot...

this is how it is mounted...

finally, a ground zero uranium 10" subwoofer powered by a 2 channel amp. these were the install stage photos. the final setup still needs a bit of tweaking... will upload when done... so this give some punch, but not the crazy low booms... which is a nice balance... (for now)
