BMWs Twins

[ExplorerDMB]

BMW in the past few months has made available the new 3-series coupe with a 250 hp engine. Now, the new 335i will have a 300hp twin turbo 3.0L engine. This is the first time in a long time that BMW has gone into turbos. Here is a little description:

Generating 300-hp and class-leading 300 lb.-ft. of torque, this advanced six accelerates with a force that throws you back in your seat and doesn’t stop until redline. Turbo lag is a thing of the past, thanks to our inspired use of two turbochargers, each supplying three cylinders with compressed air.

Sounds great to me!

I will hopefully post some more information later
