2007 BMW 335i Coupe

I finnaly think BMW nailed this one. I have not really liked the latest style BMW has taken, it has grown on me, but this one really pleases my eyes.

3.0L Inline 6 Twin Turbo

I love the inline 6 BMW produces, I can only imagine this one is the icing on the cake. Although the 3.2L in the M3 is where my heart is.

What do you think?

Love the rear end and side shots...Not so sure if I like the front yet..Havent really enjoyed the BMW's front ends lately

I don't care for the rear shot-with the tail lights it looks like the trunklid was pulled from another vehicle and mismatched.

I wonder who detailed it.

Me likes! This comes from a guy that hasn't liked ANY of the current cars! I think it's the cleanest design since the last 7.

I love it!

Anyone heard pricing for the 330i?

They are OK, I'm already growing on the new 330i, although they are becoming as popular as Civics where I live

I think the previous E46 coupe is my favorite BMW design though. I though it was perfect; a nice blend of sport and class, which is what I feel BMW stands for.

I agree completely! I think the 335i looks pretty nice, too (at least in pics), but there's something missing. Looks aside, doesn't anyone feel disappointed that BMW took the easy road to performance by adding blowers? As the company that used to refuse to add turbos, yet makes fantastic FR performance cars (unlike Honda, which does the former, *but except for a few examples*, not the latter), I feel kind of let down.

Actually the E46 M3 is a perfect car. Perfect lines, proportion,, size, etc. But I have to say I like the new 335 quite a bit. Its still not as nice as the E46 but beats the sedans and the 5 series cars. I heard price of the 335i was supposed to be around $42k. Since they arent being released until Sept, I may go get on the list to pick one up when they come out. By late fal I should be in the position for another nice car again. This car should easily give the E46 M3 a run for its money, it has 33 less HP but about 60 more lb-ft of torgue.

Just wait till you guys see the 420hp V8 on the M3.

BMW could have easily made 300hp NA. I mean common, LEXUS did. Why couldn't BMW whos been doing it for years. I think the motive is with all the "tuning" capabilities with turbo engines. with little modification, one could easily put out 375hp from the 335i.

Also one of the big bonuses I see is that power will be available both at low and high rpms. So many positives and negatives.

Being a loyal BMW fan I expect this to set the standard once again.

Remember, a BMW non-M car is not a track car, but as someone nicely said above, a mix of sport and luxury.

I think part of the reason BMW didn't make an NA 300hp was weight. More displacement, more weight, harder to balance the car the way they like it.
