Why dont they state the real numbers?

So what about the F30 335i ? would the 6 cyl. engine produce more than what BMW says of the 300hp?

The dyno #s when N54 first came out was 280bhp at the wheels.

tonmonde · 02-10-2012, 01:11 PM

nice! gonna look out for your updates!

It is the N55, not a new powerplant. So look at the E9x n55 dynos. It is underated as well.

In the first picture that navigation screen sitting up like an after thought looks like $#^&#$&

As for the look of those silly lights etc...please do not make the coupe look like this. Not liking it at all

Very nice car. GF got a order on that car too. Same color. Sales guy called the other day and said they got a demo with that color in place if we wanted to see it in real life. I guess too late because they sold it to you already. Very nice and enjoy the car in good health.

Can you PM what price you were able to get it at (if that's okay w you)

M3_WC · 02-10-2012, 01:13 PM

The N20 is looking like it is going to be a lot of fun.

Very interested.

So for the fact of the F30 0-60 time as tested by C&D (for example) being slower than what as been seen with the E90,

is that due to the weight of the F30 ??

Could be a number of things, transmission, gearing, aero, etc.

rodgerdodger · 02-10-2012, 01:27 PM

...

Anyways, when compared to the official number of the F30 328i,

245 horsepowers (240 hp / 255lb-ft US model)

arent yours from the Dino a bit low no??
Am i not missing something?

Sorry Professor. The GTI is rated 200hp\207tq as you can see on the dyno it exceeded manufacturer rating. My point was only the new 4 cylinder engines being release are all pretty close. In BMW fashion BMW will always release state of the art engines and this is why we buy them. Plus good looks ;-)

congrats. looks really good.

CPWINCH · 02-10-2012, 02:30 PM

nice curve! it kind of reminds me of the e9x m3. flat troque with rising hp

ohnoyuji · 02-10-2012, 02:32 PM

I'm so eager to get some Mod on the N20 engine!!

I got an X1 in Canada and it uses the same engine.

I wonder how different in performance wise if the 328xi will come out.

M3_WC · 02-10-2012, 03:04 PM

I know this has been talked about.

But...is the front license plate bracket removable? I don't see any fasteners?

Nope, not if your car was produced before jan 14

IancoleTX · 02-10-2012, 03:21 PM

God that interior is unbelievable. Gray is prob the most flattering color to f30 too. Great choices.

[DIM3] · 02-10-2012, 03:37 PM

The interior

AMAZING!!!!!!!

Nater · 02-10-2012, 04:18 PM

Interior is amazing except for the wood in the modern line...

What were they thinking, the wood is not smooth it actually has ridges and texture to it.
