Good results with their latest diesels, so now it's to the petrol models.

quote:
The motor is expected to appear in the 2007 BMW 335i and 2007 BMW 335ci (coupe). The engine has an output of 306 horsepower and maximum torque of 295 lbs.-ft (400 Nm). BMW said it has already tested a 3-Series sedan with the engine, and achieved a 0-62mph time of 5.7 seconds. BMW said the engine is relatively lightweight — about 70kg less than its 4.0-liter V8 engine. According to the automaker, the 3.0-liter engine has little or no turbo lag, thanks to two small turbos instead of one large one. Maximum torque is achieved between 1500 and 5800 rpm

It appears they haven't gone with their usual naming convention as it's only 3.0 L

Rather a 320 hp E36 M3 tbh.

they stopped the naming convention long ago.

Brendon and I were working this out last week how to modify the manifold and intake system on the 335. It wouldnt be that difficult to achieve, new manafold would allow for bigger turbos the question would be .. could it handle upping the boost to increase the flow needed to bring the lag increase down .. .. the only thing one would need to think about is the fuel maps .. but im sure RennSport will be right on top of it ..
