Acceleration to 0-100 km/h for the BMW 335i is 5.5 seconds, almost as fast as the E46 generation BMW M3 Coupé. Using high-precision direct petrol injection, an all aluminium engine and a pair of turbo-chargers, each assigned to force-feed three cylinders, the 335i shows that BMW has a regained faith in turbocharging its 3 series.
BMW uses low inertia turbos which spool up much faster than conventional units. The Twin Turbo engine is 70 kg lighter than a comparably powerful 4.0-litre eight-cylinder engine. The lightweight engine ensures the BMW 3 Series Coupé will retain BMW’s 50/50 weight distribution perfecting the 335i’s handling and balance.
The 335i Coupé will be available in both six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission guise. The most powerful regular production 3 Series ever (not including the specialist M3 models) will be priced from $108,500 as a manual and $111,100 as an automatic.Uniquely available to automatic transmission models of the BMW 335i Coupé is the option for steering wheel mounted shift paddles. These alloy-finished shifters are priced at $200.
