2007 BMW 3 series coupe





The new BMW 3 series coupe is about to be released. The flagship coupe at this stage before the 414 hp M3 is released, will be the twin-turbo direct injection 335i with inline six-cylinder engine and 306 hp and 300 lb-ft +/- of torque. BMW's magnificant xDrive all-wheel drive system will available for the first time as an option on the coupe.

The power and torque of the twin turbo 335i result in outstanding performance. The 335i Coupe accelerates from 0 – 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds, or 0-100kph in about 5.5. Top speed is 150 mph, when equipped with sport package.

I expect to see this new BMW 3 series coupe on these shore in September. I expect it to be a great seller for BMW.... I simply love turbo cars. Audi has dropped them, Mercedes uses a few of them, but it looks like BMW is making the investment in turbo's and I hope that there are more to come.

These photos show that, without question, builds the most beautiful coupes in the World. There is already a lot of excitement building, and these cars will fly out of the showroom. I like the idea of an all-wheel drive coupe, very versatile, great for going up to the mountains here in Southern California in winter.
Yes, Rob, the 335i will be an amazing drive! I am not sure the same will be said for reliability, but we'll have to wait and see.

Reliability will be fine. BMW has lots of experience with turbo engines.
