This is not the new ZL1 but the previous generation model with the LSA 6.2 liter supercharged V8. It is a potent mill that is easily upgraded and the car has 770 rear wheel horsepower. Definitely not something easy for just any N54 to take down.

The 335i features the Pure Stage 2 N54 turbo upgrade. Additionally, it has an MHD E85 tune with a JB4 piggyback, MMP inlets/outlets, Fuel-It! Stage 2, VRSF FMIC, downpipes, BMS meth kit, and 200 pounds weight reduction.

The weight reduction is certainly a big factor as it puts the 335i at roughly 800 pounds under the ZL1.

It is a good run between the two until the ZL1 misses a gear. Basically, it's even. Strong showing for the BMW.
