If I'm not mistaken, you claim to be a general sales manager at a large BMW dealership. No surprise - that explains why BMW dealerships are known for bad attitude. |

Yes... hysterical. As I already stated, I did not call him an idiot. You few are the ones putting attitude in my post. If I was genuinely pissed off, I guarantee that it would be perfectly clear. Just so you know, my post was far from pissed. NOTE... the use of the: This has already been discussed in at least two other threads... exhaustively. Do I work for a dealer... yes. That was answered long ago. Is my information "dealer level"... no. Also answered long ago. Did I ever claim to be a GSM? No... as for BMW dealerships being "known" to have a bad attitude... I assure you it's a direct result of dealing with a disproportionate number of pr!cks. Do you happen to be one of those pr!cks? What has been your personal experience? I find that people generally experience a reflection of themselves when buying a car.

The only bad thing about the internet is that you can't stick your boot up someone's @ss for talking smack. Obviously, there are a few here who know this all too well.

Deception is a forced perception.
There will be NO 3.5L I6 NA engine. 100% sure. 335(C)i will feature a 3.0L I6 2-stage turbo petrol engine. At least in non-US markets. BMW AG marketing have still not decided whether to offer I6 turbo engine in US market. Decision will be made in early 2006. BMW NA have no official confirmation from BMW AG Munich yet what US market will get. All current BMW NA info are just pure speculations. If the turbo comes to US there is a slightly possibility it will come in a detuned version, but still badged 335i. An upgraded 3.0L I6 NA engine can be also badged 335i (a possibility - not yet decided) if BMW decide not to bring turbo to US at this stage. Next week: more news about 3er coupe and I6 turbo.

With all the problems BMW had with the high reving 3.2l I6 in the E46M3, I'd think they'd pass on trying to up the displacement to 3.5 liters. Hell..I don't even think they could fit it in the engine bay.

As for the size, you should keep in mind that the 3.2 liter engine in the E46 M3 in fact had smaller outside dimensions than the 3.0 liter engine in the E46 330i. Displacement does not always have an effect on weight or exterior size of an engine. |

But definitely NO 3.5L I6. just an upgraded 3.0 without either f.i.or increased displacement will totally blow, there just won't be enough torque (for me) even if they can wring out 270-280hp! i want at least 260-270ft-lbs. if not closer to 300 along with the ponies! |

I'm just guessing that a 3.5 liter I6 using the current block wouldn't fit in the E90. Yes Hartage(sp?) wedged a V-10, but I have no idea how tall that engine is compared to the current 3.0 (v-10 obviously wider). |

If BMW makes a Turbo 335 I'm all over that thing like white on rice.
BMW out of the box handling and luxury plus an aftermarket boost controller to boost up the HP and TQ gains. Gotta love Turbo's...cheap HP and TQ gains. |

Me too -- I want a 335 turbo in the worst way. I am willing to clean the house for a year to convince the wife, whatever it takes...
As long as it is under 39k EuroDel invoice (45k US MSRP). Ideally a sport oriented version light on the expensive luxuries to keep cost down. Best yet, available in a touring version (E91) as well as the 4 door sedan (E90). I will be beside myself with disappointment if all we get is the 335 E92. That would be beyond lame. Have to sell my BMW stock. Test drive an Audi. Total dark side. |

What if BMW NA throws a complete curve ball and releases the 335d in the USA market? Wouldn't that be wild! What a way to get unbelievable press, and flipping the whole mindset of the US market towards diesels. In one fell swoop, wiping out the slow, smoggy, rattlely stereotype image. Toss in the 320d at the other end to be able to toot about 50mpg.

"It's fair to say that BMW has done a brilliant job with the E90. There isn't a duffer in the range, and the 330d makes a range-topper until the arrival of the 335i petrol turbo and the 335d. Yes, these monsters will be coming, but in the meantime enjoy the 330d. It's very good indeed." Too bad that California regs prevent the intro of the current BMW turbo diesels to NA. It would seem more likely that the intro of a gas turbo to NA will occur first. In any event, here's more evidence that BMW has a higher performance E90 model in the works. |
