I actually think my speedo is off because my total wheel size is slightly smaller than stock.

Could be.

Point is that when a 328i goes 0-60 it's faster than the 335i is going 0-60 because the 335i is actually only going 0-55.

LOL

So i guess you are saying the 335i picks up speed after 60? Some how the 335i magically finishes the 1/4 mile in 13.1 vs the 328i in 14.1

Sure doesn't feel faster. Driving back to back, 328i feels a lot slower.

I have checked the Speedo on the loan car I have (328i Lux touring) and it's 2MPH out @ indicated 70MPH.
50 MPH and under it's spot on. Thats using a GPS system.
PS) No way is it quicker than an 335i.

Make it a point to see what a car can do... Car is for sure limited at roughly 160... Wants to go faster.

I apparently am out of touch because I thought 110 to 120 wasn't something that people would be afraid of... Cruised at 130 with a 535i msport last night for miles at an undisclosed location... Closed course with professional drivers of course

dont you love when you come across a closed course with a professional driver waiting! I have yet to find a german car that does not feel good and loves 110+ However I have driven a few Japanese and American cars and even if they are sports cars or sports versions they all seem to get unstable and light over 120mph
