THE STORY|| I was driving my e92 335i on the 210 fwy when I noticed a Montego Blue e90 335i. He merged on the fwy and immediatly noticed me. He changed lanes and came right next to me, and floored his car.

I didn't do chase him or anything, yet. So we keeped are cool about 5 minutes, then I decided to punch it. I hit 100 going past him. He noticed and started coming from behind, we raced through on the fwy. The fwy was pretty empty, I was hitting 140 and counting , but I noticed from my rear view mirror that the e90 335i was hauling ass.

I was the WTF!!!??... His bimmer had "BOB SMITH" on his plates. So we kept racing through traffic and we both finally slowed down. I tried high beaming him so he can come next to me, so we can talk.

I finally get next to him, and we start talking, he was a middle aged man. Probably in his 30's if not 40's. I asked if he was stock, he shook his head. From the moment of his reaction I knew he was not stock.

He told me he was chipped my PROcede. I was nice. PROcede really makes a difference. He then decided to run against me. Remember that I'm stock. He said "Lets see how a PROcede runs against stock." I replied "Let's do it." I shook my head in response and was ready.

I knew for sure I was going to get an ass beating, but what the hell. He gave the signal with three honks, I was in third gear with "DTC" pressed once. I also had a full tank of gas.

After the third honk, we hit it. He took off and had a 2-3 car lenghts on me. I was LIKE "PROcede FTW." We slowed doen with on-coming traffic. I went next to him and gave him a thumbs up with his performance. I told him "Let's do it again." He replied "ok."

So, we went from third gear again. After he honked, we were neck in neck in third, by the time 4th gear was in play, he 2 car lengths on me. After that we said our good byes and went our ways.

MY REVIEW ::

Dont fvck with a PROcede 335i. lol

PROcede > Turbo Tuner & Exede lol juice box:rocks:

Honestly, in my opinion. Who ever want performance in their 335i get the PROcede. It makes A LOT of difference. I would get it in a heart beat.

I hope you enjoyed the review and story. SO NO VIDEOS:mad:

Comments are always welcommed.

I don't agree with this comment...

PROcede > Turbo Tuner & Exede lol juice box

Xede > Procede 1.4x map. V2 maybe different story.

You'll be surprise that there are quite a few Xede on the fourm.. who are not interest in Dyno or Racing.. and saying what they have under the hood.

I agree.

AA xede equipped 335is on avg are dyno'ing higher than procede v1.47.
Their Website Dyno advertises 345 whp and 380 wtq. This is considerably higher then Mr.5's Dyno of procede at 323 whp. Then again though, different dyno, different day. But there is still a significant difference to consider.
And then ofcourse you have Juicebox matching procede v1.47 performance for a fraction of the price.

Oddly enough I'm starting to lean toward the Juicebox. Ive spoken and PMd a few people who have been running it and not a single complaint.

Sure, he has poor business ethic and a sorry attitude toward competition, but I'm looking for the best, cheapest option and he seems to provide it.
Mark Twain once said: With ignorance and arrogance, success is assured.
Who knows, terry may be an ass, but you have to give credit where credit is due.

I think we all ought to pitch in and pay a BMW engineer a k or 2 to test them [AA Xede, JB, PROcede, etc.] and tell us wtf is really happening and what the consequences are for our engines.

I would sure be willing to subscribe to a magazine that ran tests like that. I'm leery of anecdotes and unsubstantiated opinions.

Wish I could find you this awesome article I read a while back.

Basically half the article was an interview with someone from BMW, who repeatedly stated that BMW could have "easily" added a good deal of more power but decided to keep at 300 bhp to keep what the BMW representative called "the BMW feel."
These cars are meant to go fast- meant to have more HP and could "easily" take it. Ofcourse, take everything I say with a grain of salt
Moderation.

[stressdoc]

I read that interview with the engineer, it was interesting. The emphasis was on making the powerband of the N54 feel like a NA engine, i.e., no turbo lag, broad torque curve, and no high end peakiness. That is what the twin turbo with limited boost does so well. The key to the success of the PROcede V2, IMO, will be the powerband. How broad is it? I want power that is easily controlled, like a rheostat, and not like an on-off switch. You end up in the weeds with a powerband that spins out of control once you are in the boost.

There are ways to add power that are better [or worse] for long term engine reliability and performance.

Tests like what Mr. 5 are doing tell us about relative performance on a dyno [or 1/4 mile], but they can't get into issues like what is happening to the DIs or valves or turbine bearings.

[revah2]

This is true.
So you lease the 335i for 2-3 years...get easy, cheap power out of an undetectable ECU tune and your good.

[stressdoc]

I bought mine and I am installing some serious long term mods -- LSD, coilovers, etc.

I have an aversion to abuse of machinery. Some sort of weird Karma. Probably comes from having bought BMWs with 100k+ miles and keeping them for another 100k miles. I also like to plant trees that will benefit my great grandkids, if they are around.

To the OP:

Every time you post you scare me more and more.

for spelling! well, actually it made the long story more entertaining hahaha

alright.. note to self: dont drive on 210 anymore

I'm surprised your DTC button doesn't activate some "NAWZ" too!
I wish my car mechanically changed when I pressed the button...damn...all mine does is allow straight line tire slippage.

FYI -- pushing the DTC button one quick time actually turns DTC on (instead of on standby), but it also raises the threshold for intervention; i.e. it allows for some wheel/tire spin but also provides you with better traction at launch.

If you push and hold the DTC button for ~ 3 sec., you will turn both DTC & DSC off (traction control and stability control off); this is not really recommended for a good launch as it will allow for way too much wheel/tire spin and inhibit your launch.

Your telling me :mad::mad: I hate the 210. Cops are all over the place. But it was one of those moments

True. If you look at my STI race video. I took DSC off on a launch. And I got OWNED. TOOOO much wheel spin and lost from the dig. So, pressing DTC once is the best alternative for a good launch.

Well, the reason I press DTC once from a roll and I say that it helpss your gears becuase its TRUE you a$$hole.

Give me some time to find the video of an e46 ///M3. So I can prove it to you.
