Also, I felt the SLK had far better low-end torque, even though the 335 supposedly has really small turbos which are supposed to spool quickly and release the hounds early on in the RPMs. But frankly, turbos have never impressed me much. Power comes on too late for real-world urban driving enjoyment. Much harder to take care of business at the lights as described by the OP. | The SLK350 might feel faster b/c of the low end torque but doubt it's faster than the 335i, the numbers for the 335i is conservative, many ppl dyno at much more than advertised. With an ecu upgrade, the 335i is keeping up with SLK55's. I have no chance up here in 5200 ft altitude against those.
