[carfantiti]

!

No, I want to see a turbo V8 M3. Screw 50/50 ratios and all that BS.

[carfantiti]

Gosh some really negitive unhappy jelouse people.page 1 just telling my experiance of the 335i as new owner.i have owned it i week now still love it.the ride and handling is perfect .the power is great interior nice simple yet classy.this is my daily driver not a track car.
My only comments against the new m3 is the gap between them is narrower every new model.thats my opinion.the v8 in the current m3 is a work of art.i don't think the m3 threw its history should went to a v8. They had it right with the e30 m3.the e30 m3 was built first as a tack car.every m3 since it was not built first as a track car.i would love to see bmw do what ford and chevy tried do with there mustang and camaro.when the 135i came out i thought that was getting closer to the e30 though it has its flaws.not sure you guys know but buick has a 4cylinder turbo that has 250 hp.I know we all would like to see a small ,light ,high reving,50/50 distribution , m3 again!

just wait until your warranty expires and you can start replacing each crappy made electrical component 1 after another, as well as the shitty ass quality of the motors in them-that will eat up a few sets of injectors, plugs, carbon up like a mofo, eat the cam/vanos seals (which will lead to new cam trays) as well as just fall apart in the interior.

yeah, they are fun to drive at work, but NO, I will never give up my hard earned cash for one of em. esp. a 5 y/o one..........

and BTW, you do not need to disassemble the motor to blast the valves.
are your waste gates rattling like a bitch at idle yet? no fear, they will start to if not already- and to fix that you need 2 NEW turbos.


The N55 is not any better of a motor IMO, has the same problems too.

and yes, I work on these things ALOT.

This thread is gay. OP, you are poorly informed. Do some research instead of spreading your verbal diarrhea everywhere.

[slammin.e28]

The 335 is because it theoretically makes the same power a N/A 3.5L engine in that trim would make.

Same deal with the e23 745i. It was a 3.4L with a turbo. Put out theoretically the same power as a N/A 4.5l engine in that trim would have put down.

They have done this before guys. Not big news.

e36/46 323is are really 2.5l. 328is are 2.8l. Why didn't they call it a 325i? Because why pay more for a 328i when a 325 is so close? Marketing. Make it look more superior.

[Wh33lhop]

They add the displacement of the turbos. .5

Nowhere on the 335 does it say 3.5, lol. They have just resorted to calling them whatever the marketing department decides... 328i 3.0 NA, 335i 3.0 turbo, 540i 4.4 NA, 545i 4.4 NA, 550i 4.4 turbo...

They have "massaged" the naming convention but nowhere on the car does it say 3.5 liters... They would get sued

Just spreading the pedantry. You're welcome

[Wh33lhop]

What?

It's a BMW. It has A/C and a radio and sat nav. How is it not a daily driver?

This thread is an absolute jerkoff.

Ok cherry pick my sloppy wording would ya... Not meant to be JUST a dd. It works great as one, but it's also great on track out of the box.

And yeah it is, join the fun

[Cabriolet]

Dude....no. 335i is just a name and has nothing to do with engine displacement.

WTFBBQ no

the 5 is from the fake .5 liter displacement that the turbos give. the actual engine is a 3L
so they call it a 335i
the NA version would be 330i
and the detuned NA is a 328i
all are the same size engine.

335i has a 3.0L engine.

[slammin.e28]

Yeah, all that and they will always have the carbon issue every like 30k miles. Drop engine out, take off intake mani, walnut blast the valves, put it all back together, with new hardware of course because it's all aluminum nuts and bolts for Efficient Dynamics and has to be replaced each use.

Waterpump is electric and costs over $500 and you have to use new hardware.

...and it's reliability track record is less than stellar.

Call me bias, but the last good, in terms of reliability and ease of repair, engine BMW made was the M54.
