Re: 335i review

A nice car and sounds very impressive I just think the price is going to be huge. I know it says $50K but when I looked at 330s a couple years back pretty easy to get them to 60 so I am sure this will be the same.

Re: 335i review

Re: 335i review

Not to be too condescending but does anyone else think that the 3.0L Direct Injection Twin Turbo 6 cylinder engine is a little weak only making 300hp and 300lbft? I mean Mazda has a 2.3L Direct Injection Turbo 4 cylinder that makes 280Hp and the current M3 engine is making 333hp without forced induction. My best guess for these moderate engines specs would be that BMW doesn't want to infrindge on the M3 market share. Otherwise I'm a little disappointed with the idea of TWIN TURBO'S not making more power.

Well that could be true but then just imagine what a chip will do!!

Re: 335i review

Yeah 1 thing that gives it away is the torque spread (flat down to 1500rpm!) which we just means that they are using the turbos just to bolster low end. Put boost right in the turbos upper range of efficiency right though midrange and I bet we have a torque monster on our hands!

Re: 335i review

its underpowered for the setup yes.. my S4 comes stock at 250 but still pulls a stock 0-60 of 5.5 and my chip gives me 320hp add an exhaust,etc and i'm pushing 340-350 or more a simple k04 upgrade and i'm doing 420+
and thats a 2.7L so .3 more should be well i dunno few more ponies lol
