I knew it would be a monster but dear god. up the boost and it will destroy the M3.

 

I read that article a while ago and was amazed at the spec's... I kind of want one...

 

umm... yeah.. the tuning on this could be unreal.. right now its .2 secs slower on teh 1/4 and 1mph then the m3... and for prob about 15k less. and less insurance.

 

Are there any blueprints of the engine and turbo setup? I can't find any.

 

I think it will be worth a test drive.

 

was down at the local BMW (Rusnek or somthing) and they had a new 3 coupe there. i talked with the sales guy and got him to open it... wow really really nice. Although the sales guy broke the arm that hands you the seatbelt within 2 minutes. anyway thought id share my experiance. check your local dealers there going to probably start trickeling and before they can sell them.

 

definitely an awesome car.... its on my short list to own. It has some serious potential, makes you wonder what then new M3 will have to offer.

 

Isn't the new M3 going to be a NA V8? The difference between it and the 335 will be like the difference between a B7 and a B5 S4 - except you can get a new 335i and you can't get a new twin turbo S4 with everything else updated.

 

Well said.

Yea, the new 335i is one hell of a car, bravo BMW!
