[Ian_182]

Ive just watched this video and they say the figures are nothing like the manafacturers,the car posts quicker times than the outgoing M3.Looks good too
Christ knows how fast the new M3 will be then.

My mate got a 335 turbo smg thing. Fooking rapido!

 

[young_lew]

I was sat behind an 07 plate one back in march, and he planted his right foot and it just took off!!

thats bearing in mind it was brand new and he probably wasn't pushing it, i was definately impressed

They are very quick but not a sleeper.

335 indicates a big hefty 3.5 litres straight six, you know its going to be quick when you see the badge :approve:

 

[Rob_]

Specs for the new M3 are already out

4 litre V8 with 420bhp and 295lb/ft

Yeah 3 litre sorry.

Really dont get BMW's badging.

318 is a 1.9
320 a 2 litre
323 2.5 litre
325 2.5 litre
328 2.8 litre
330 3 litre
335 3 litre

Follows no pattern at all :S

 

[EVOgone]

Better still is the 335d - post remap

345bhp and 510lb/ft torque

Oh and 35/40 to the gallon..!!!

 

[A18XHO]

Isn't it the same with the 535d, being a 3.0 but with a small and large turbo??

But those 335's are awesome.

 

[Rob.H]

I had a 330d for a whole day test drive last week, and i must say i was very very impressed in comparison to my current M3. Straight line pace for a diesel was outstanding, it just pulled like a train from any rev range.

Obviously the handling wasnt quite as sharp as the m3, but a very very good car. Looking at the post remap specs of the 335d it makes me wonder if i want the new m3 afterall.

 

[Ian_182]

Its funny how the 335 gets the same quoted time as the new v8 m3.wonder how fast the new M3 will actually be

[philmots]

[Ross M]

bmw just won an award for the best engine for the 3.0l twin turbo in the 335i

 

[Cup-pa]

Saw a brand new 335d coupe at santapod a few weeks back and it did a 14.1... rapid!

I was behind one of these on the motorway! Fook me, he either dropped a gear, or just planted his foot (god knows what gear he was in), it went from being directly in front of me, to about 300 m in about 3 secs! Stupidly quick cars. I'm seriously impressed with the diesel variant.

Tys.

 

[gr1340]

I could beat one though in my 182. Officially the fastest car in Britain.

 

[Ian_182]

Bar none...lol

[ALmO]

I thought the 335i was a 3.5 litre, anyway, we have a black one in at work, 07 reg, absolutely stunning.

 

[16vsam]

i work for bmw in birmingham as a technician and the 335's fly the 335d's a bloody quick aswell. look out for the 135 soon aswell that will certainly shift! as for the new M3 launch is september this year and is supposed to be a rocket!!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Nah, turbos are quite small and are built into the manifold. Will be quite a lot of work to upgrade.

Most people have atm is a filter and remap, still looking at high 12 second 1/4 miles though.

 

[new_world_disorder]

If its what i think it is then the Mercedes SLK AMG has had one for years.

When you get in car it pulls seatbelt out to you so you dont have to reach behind

At that price why doesnt he just wait for the M3

 

[Ross M]

coz the M3 is going to be £55,000.

theres only 300 M3's coming to the uk for the first 12 months and theres a 2.5 yr waiting list.
someone i know has got one coming in red with the carbon fibre roof. had his name on the waiting list for 32months.

 

[Ian_182]

Ah,good point
