Incredible.
Am I the only one who thinks he'd be better of with a 328 instead of a 335i which he ordered? I know myself, I know BMW for years, I just want a 6 cylinder, a BMW 4 cylinder to me seems crap(been there done that) etc etc. But what's the gain in having a 335i when the 328 figures are almost the same? The only con thing I can think of is the awful sound in the 328, but can I live with that? |

Sorry if I sound daft, but what does "candy-ass" mean, when talking about the sound?

I don't think that will change a lot once the former I6 drivers collect/drive their 4 potters. As we all here already stated, you have to live with the sound. And that is the only CON I can find in a 328i for now. |

Won't the next GTI be coming w 230+ hp and 260+ tq from the improved 2.0t? The golf r was almost as fast as the is around seca... Also, if you need that top end the 335i ftw. If you compare the track video of the 335 vs 328, the 335 seems to have 10-20 mph on the 328 at specific points. Nonetheless, The n20 is a sweet ass engine and most bimmerphiles will choose the 4 banger

Yes but unfortunately this does NOT seem to be the case with the N55 335i which is running putting down performance times worse than the E90.
It seems quite clear which model Munich wants sold. |

Unless the dyno takes into consideration all gear ratios, rear end ratio, overall wheel size and weight those numbers could be just as effective as if I just pulled them out of the hat.

You can take the same vehicle from one dyno to another and it can read 20hp different. The best comparison for car vs. car on wheel dynos is to do both cars at the same dyno back to back, otherwise you are always playing the "correction" guessing game. |

I've only driven the F10 528, but I was very impressed with the output of this engine. It is plenty of engine for 90% or the people out there. It felt almost as quick as last years 535 and for most people, that feel is all that matters. I think the motor is a win. |
