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!!

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.

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

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 ;)
