Definelty nice. It is pretty weird how BMW is going turbo, and Volvo is going NA on some of their cars.

The new v8 M3 will be bad ass!!

Re: BMW 335i
 

Looks like an upscale GTO

Re: BMW 335i
 

ouch :eek:

Re: BMW 335i
 

Yea, my friend Jay is planning on selling his S4 for one. Viscious, do you work for BMW? When will the AWD ones be coming out?

Re: BMW 335i
 

Yeah, I'm the service manager at a BMW dealership.
The AWD platform is coming out for this car hopefully pretty soon. I'm sure the 5.3sec 0-60mph is limited by traction issues.

Re: BMW 335i
 

How much boost is it running? The compression is pretty high, so probably not a lot.

Re: BMW 335i
 

Sweet. Think there's room for a big single turbo conversion on one of these? What are the factory turbochargers rated at?

Re: BMW 335i
 

I can't find the info, but if I remember correctly about 8psi.

Re: BMW 335i
 

They are a proprietary design, I'm not sure who's making them. They are really small though, probably more of the limiting factor on power vs boost level. They make a 16g look like a gt42r.

Re: BMW 335i
 

Here's a pic I found of the new set-up.

Not to brag and wave the flag, but.....

woot

Re: BMW 335i
 

Re: BMW 335i
 

Maybe one of you links has this info (but I did't check yet), how are they priced?

Re: BMW 335i
 

Starting right at $40k :(

Re: BMW 335i
 

Damn. :(

Re: BMW 335i
 

Yea thats the bad thing, beamers really hold their value, its amazing. That design is nuts though, thats alot of stuff crammed in there.

Re: BMW 335i
 

Worthless. Ugly. Underpowered of course. Over priced. Hey, neat...wait...

Re: BMW 335i
 

...but with none of the quality control issues ;)

Re: BMW 335i
 

Do you ever have anything positive to say? A 3S is more overweight than the 335i and its also overpriced in my opinion but I dont rip on them... To each their own.

Look here for more info if you want to read that it actually puts down more power than its rated at:

Re: BMW 335i
 

Viscious, got any pics of the engine bay?

Re: BMW 335i
 

Re: BMW 335i
 

BMW is ok, but way too overpriced. Not as much as mercedes, the most craptastic "per-dollar" car you can get.

At least it's turbo'd, but too bad they didn't reduce the engine size to something like 2.3 liters.

Re: BMW 335i
 

Why is that too bad? This thing sounds bad ass! Needs a big-ass turbo under that hood though.

Re: BMW 335i
 

I guess he means "Too bad I can't afford one." :rolleyes:

3.0L divided by 6 = .5L per cyl. (N54)
2.0L divided by 4 = .5L per cyl. (4g63)

Bore/Stroke
81mm/90mm (N54)
85mm/88mm (4g63)

Each cylinder is pretty closely matched. Imagine if we could add 2 more cylinders to our engines for a 50% power increase. :eek:

You can bet Dinan or AC Schnizter will put together an upgrade kit to wake it up.

Re: BMW 335i
 

Well shouldnt 2 more cylinders on our engines give us a 50% power increase??

Re: BMW 335i
 

I thought that was what I said. :rolleyes:

Re: BMW 335i
 

Not a bad looking car...would it come in a manual ... AWD version that is. And what kinda gear box will it have? 6sp or 5sp?

Re: BMW 335i
 

Pretty sure it will come in a AWD versiona and I think its 6 speed.

Oh yea the aftermarket will get on this car and with a chip, exhaust and intake 400hp easy here we come.

Re: BMW 335i
 

6-speed manual or 6-speed auto AWD

Re: BMW 335i
 

That's not a bad starting price. I just sold an '06 330i for a customer and she paid full sticker for it a year ago, $41,750 plus extended warranties and such. Six-speed car, pretty light on options. Plus it's nice to see the 3-series coupe again, the 6-series coupe is dope. I'll be putting one on my lot when they dip into the $3x,xxx range. :D

And the 4 year/50K mile maintenance program will pay for all those clutches you go through at the track. :eek: :D

Re: BMW 335i
 

Not necessarily. ;)

BMW goodwill will allow one (1) to be changed under warranty, the rest you turn into "kitty hair" at your own expense. :D
