It's a 335i twin turbo pushing out 318BHP. Do you think that was on purpose? I do!

You can buy the engine upgrade for any 135i/335i over here from the BMW performance range.

The 135i is a beast! It will be even better if they bring out the rumoured M version :)

The new E92 seems only to work as the slightly more pumped up M3.

I'm also a massive fan of the 135i It's about the same wheelbase as a E30 M3. I would guess it's faster round a track too!

There's a lot of bits in BMW performance range that fit too! :cool:

i dont think the facelift looks too bad, but unlike the e30 and other models the new 3 series might aswell be different cars, as most things are slightly different, like lights etc etc. I suppose thats why they have all different E numbers :)

The 335i is like a 318is :D :D :mad: winkeye

123d M Sport Coupe. 45 mpg standing on it's head, and titanic acceleration from 70-120.

An absolutely superb all round package and worth every penny.

Unfortunately the bmw performance engine upgrade is pants, a decent tuner such as evolve can take these engines to over 400bhp for the same sort of cash
