Chips and tuning go a long way.I'm guessing the M Series will take up the slack, probably getting an extra 50-75 HP along with all wheel drive (maybe all wheel steering also like the Stealth/3000GT).
Nonetheless, I'm sure it'* one hell of a car, coming from Beamerville.

This has more power then the Last M3, the M3 isn't a power beast, it'* meant to be a stripped out, lighter car, more hardcore, and better handling. The 335 is a regular loaded 3 series with a lot of balls.
However the next M3 is getting a V8 derived from the V10 in the M5. However there are better ways at getting 400 HP IMO.. I kinda wish the M3 would be turbo'd..

Yes the 335i is held back alot. The computer is tuned for emissions so it can meet regulations. Actually the engine is believed to make a little over 330hp when not held back.

So wouldnt that make it a 3.5 liter instead of a 3.0? Im not trying to be nitpicky, just asking a question.

I wonder how big the turbos are on this 335. Smallllll peeshooters designed for low boost and zero lag?

Got pics! It'* nice! The pics don't do the color justice. It looks like just a glossy black paint until it gets in the sun. Then it looks like a gun metal black with a heavy metallic flake.
18 inch rims with runflat tires.
It'* got a kickin Hardon Karmon stero.
