I'm betting your friend's 335i was manual transmission right? He was probably tuned with either DR's or slicks? 400ft lbs of torque will do that.

There are lots of 11 second steptronic 335i's running around with no problems with axles. If you want to drag race your 335i, the automatics are the ones to get.
