I'd take a I6 over a T4 any day. If you want to tune a 4 banger buy JDM. BMW is taking a step down IMHO. You can never replace the sound and feel of a 6 cylinder with a 4 banger.

It won't be as smooth, but i doubt the driving experience will be any worse. The fact that you can spend 800 bucks and the car will have similar output to the 335 is impressive.

This engine is probably going to be one of BMW's best decisions in a long time. It will sell them a lot of cars. |

It was ok to drive e46 with NA I6, but this pig needs more juice and preferably down low Every time i drive 328i loaner, i'm ready to curse at that thing It just wont move I think it's a great engine with great range and output My vote goes for this 4 banger for sure |

I wonder how much less the 328i will weigh than the 335i? That will also make a difference. Knowing BMW, they'll give the 328i smaller brakes, tires/wheels, etc., so those may need upgrades with more power.

NO. x1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That's what I enjoy the most about my car - the sound and the natural feeling from the I6. Why do you think V12s are two of them stuck together???

This I want to know. I run JB on my e92 35 with no problems, but it's not a super-agressive tune. Under $1k for 50hp? Not too expensive. So long as the stock engine can handle it.

It will be close to a stock 335i
But a tuned one no way bigger power plant with a six. There are n54 hitting over 500 rwhp. with RB turbo upgrades.

I think that is why BMW still offers x35i engine. I6 TT. Get that instead and do a bit tuning then you'll have something in the 360 to 400 range

This has great potential. The only problem I have with my 128i is the lack of power. No, I cannot afford a 135i, but its hard to make any extra gains. With exhaust and intake + chip, a 128i can only make about 260 hp, if that at all.
Time to start saving up my pennies : )

For a tune only (which is where I'd stop because it's the most cost effective), these numbers are amazing |
