It is a US only model - think it is similar to the one with ZCP performance parts - lowered suspension, CSL type rims, etc..

Also features the 'new' colour, frozen grey paint.

So the US gets the 335is and a limited edition M3

dxb335d · 06-15-2010, 07:39 AM

We have the 335is don't we? and also the Monte Carlo Ed's M3.

rogerxp · 06-15-2010, 07:45 AM

I always thought there was a touring version on it's way, that suggesting this is it, but wonder what happened to that.

Fraid not

We virtually have this car in the UK already - spec an M3 with the competition package

The optional £3315 kit sees the performance car’s suspension dropped 10mm, a newly developed sports mode for the electronic damping, revised (more playful) stability control and some CSL style new alloys that lighten each corner. Carbonfibre styling addenda is available, too.

The only thing the US car gets is the coloured inserts in the seats which are very nice I must say. The US didn't get the edition models that we had over here also.

dxb335d · 06-15-2010, 08:07 AM

Im sure Autocar did a review of the 335is!?

creepy coupe · 06-15-2010, 08:20 AM

From Autocars website

BMW plans to launch a hot new 3-series to bridge the gap between the 335i and M3 models.

The BMW 335iS will not initially be made available in the UK or Europe, however, with the firm instead selling it to US and Canadian customers.

BMW showed a similar concept with the Z4 at the Detroit motor show with the Z4 sDrive 35iS, billed as the most powerful in the range in the absence of a full M version.

New BMW 3-series coupe and cabriolet models

The 335iS will use the 322bhp N44 twin-turbo six-cylinder 3.0-litre engine with 332 lb ft of peak torque (369 lb ft with the overboost function).

The car will get an M-sport styling package and will be the first time a standard BMW model will be offered with an optional seven-speed double clutch gearbox. When equipped with the auto’, the 335iS can get from 0-60mph in 5.0secs, with the same speed arriving 0.1secs slower with the standard six-speed manual.

Top speed will be limited to 149mph – standard BMW’s in the US are normally limited to 130mph.

A BMW source had indicated that the car will be considered for European sale after reaction to it has been gauged in the US and Canada.

I don't know why the bother reporting on US bound cars.
