I still can't get past the styling. I remember being out at Borrego Springs when I saw 4 of Chris Bangle's new designs, a car mag was testing them and had stopped at the resort I was staying at. When I expressed my dismay at the new styling (the Bangle Butt), one of the fellows asked me how old I was. (I'm 55). Ha. I still would be ashamed to have one sitting in my driveway. Sorry Chris. Nice drivetrain though.... I'm sure that this is a very nice, well engineered car. I still can't get past the styling.

The 335i is powered by a 3.0 liter in-line 6 cylinder twin-turbocharged engine. The engine is also equipped with BMW’s direct injection system using electric piezo injectors. This new 335i engine makes 306hp and torque figures are a massive 400Nm of torque available from as low as 1300rpm all the way up to 5000rpm, from where the maximum torque dips until it reaches it’s redline of 7000rpm. The engine’s torque curve sounds REALLY sweet. Would love to drive one. I previously mentioned the engine will have it’s two turbos in sequential form, so I apologize for the mis-information. The twin-turbo system is actually in-line, with a turbo being fed by 3 cylinders each. Two smaller turbos alllow a much faster spooling time than 1 big turbo. The usage of forced induction allows this new 335i engine to make as much power as a normally aspirated V8 engine of a higher displacement, but weighs 70kg lighter. The engine was designed to compete against competition like the Lexus IS350 and Infiniti’s 3.5 liter offerings, as well as be a bridge between the current 3.0 liter normally aspirated engine and the 4.0 liter V8 engine to be offered with the BMW M3. This engine gives the BMW 335i Coupe a 0-100km/h speed of 5.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 240km/h.

The one used in S/CL/SL600 is a 5.5litre Bi-Turbo (twin-turbo) engine with 500bhp. This engine supposedly has unbeatable drivability(among its class) with loads of power at any given engine speed, without any hint of turbo lag. The S/CL/SL65 AMG uses a 6.0litre Bi-Turbo producing a massive 612bhp! Each of these cars can out-accelerate a Lambo Murcielago to 160km/h.. Very impressive considering all uses (comparatively) conventional 5-speed auto-box. Mercedes-Benz do have a few turbocharged engines.

They were arguing that turbocharging a bmw is blasphemous, and that such a finely engineered engine doesn't need something as low tech as a turbo. I mentioned that bmws of old had turbochargers as well, but they were in denial. I wonder what they will think of this news. i remember being embroiled a huge debate with some bmw owners in another forum last year.

Paul, are you sure? BMW does not have any 3.5 liter engines. I don't think any other manufacturer does. Power output is also dependent on a lot factors besides displacement. So what would justify the comparison? Also, the BMW 323 has a 2.5 liter engine. Can't be the 2.5 liter engine's resulting power is equivalent to a 2.3 liter engine. I suspect the 335 designation has nothing to do with equivalent power outputs, merely a designation.
