My new AW 335i

mencio · 03-08-2014, 01:04 AM

Posted a while ago that I had ordered an AW 335i. Today I traded my STI and picked up my first BMW. I am more than impressed. After being on this forum for the last 3 months I was starting to almost regret my decision. After driving the car for a couple of hours I now know this is the BEST car I have ever owned. So far I love everything in this car. Pictures and posts really don't do it justice, and probably the specific configuration I have also helps

Spec:
2014 AW 335i 6MT
- Every package except driving assist.

- Sport Brakes
- M Performance Power kit
- Black Kidney grilles
- Carbon fiber rear spoiler
- Front splitter black
- Carbon fiber mirror caps
- Carbon fiber & Alcantara Trim
- Stainless steel pedals
- Carbon fiber brake handle

Future mods:
- MPE
- Front splitter

Btw the dealer confirmed that the 2014 PPK is making 370 lb-ft

Pictures (sorry crappy iphone pics):

Very nice! Enjoy

Very nice! Congrats!

How did they confirm the 370 lbs-ft.?

mencio · 03-08-2014, 01:02 PM

Asked the SA as I mentioned rumors in the forums. He looked something on the computer and said 370 for torque but he said no details on HP. Said he would ask and let me know.

Nice great choice and 6mt

You sure he didn't say 317? That's what BMW advertise with a manual transmission. 317 can sound a lot like 370 depending how quickly they say it.

This...it's not making 370. Nice car though

mencio · 03-09-2014, 11:23 PM

No the SA definitely said 370. As you can imagine I was a bit surprised and asked him again. Something like: '370? Are you sure?!?!' And yes that was his response.
Also some dyno of 2014 335i with ppk are coming out and confirming these numbers, like this one

Bottom line its just a number, but it sure feels a lot torquier than my previous car

It's curious that you didn't get the carbon fiber shifter. What was the reasoning behind that?
