BMW 135i vs. Ferrari 355

The BMW seems faster, but the sound coming from the ferrari is seriously mouth watering

1 is definitely faster, but you're the man in that Ferrari. The 355 is fantastic...

I did a lot of research on the 355 last year. The prices were great but parts availability \ prices are ridiculous.

The F355 has been my dream car since I was 8 years old.

355, sigh....


They have belt driven cams and are VERY SLOW...

There is no reason to own one of those over a 430 as maintence will kill you, they break often, and have a lot of small problems like sticky buttons.


The tubi exhaust does sound nice though

How is that a 135 ? Our cars were never offered with Harmon branded speakers?

Maybe its our engine, but thats probably a 335, no?

Or did they add Harmon for 2011 and I didn't notice.

You do realize that this car is only 375 crank hp which is about 320rwhp. If he had a tune he would have done work on this car.

Completely agree. They run about the same 0-60 as a stock 135i, but pull out at 13.0 sec at around 112 mph in the 1/4, showing the hp advantage. A tune would give the edge to the 1.

My uncle had an F355 years ago, and he let me take it out and rip on it once. The sound is unreal, but it's like an S2K - no torque with a narrow high-revving powerband. It doesn't feel as fast as you might imagine it would.

IDK, I don't think I'd consider 7.5 seconds to 60 mph "VERY SLOW" for 1980. In any case, I definitely wouldn't refer to an F355 as such.

I guess it's a subjective term, but calling something not just "slow," not just "very slow," but "VERY SLOW" makes me think of a VW Bus, not anything produced by an exotic car marque.

Specially considering sports cars didnt have DCT trannies back then or such advanced drivetrains in general. I would consider a 7.5 sec to 60 back then to be around a 5.5ish to 60 now. And with that engine, and that sexy sound, ill fuckin take it. Can you imagine being the owner of one of those in pristine condition..fuckin women creaming all over your windows as you pass by em, goosebumps every time you go out..mmm

Heres a wonderful 355 appreciative video for ya =)
