F30 335i Review

Awesome...

but the 328i 4cyc 180kw turbo looks like the best option... :rollsmile:

no 330d or 335d ... :argh:

I'm sure the diesels will follow shortly after launch. Would be awesome with the new 8 speed auto boxes too.

The F30 is looking sharp.. me likey

what i dont understand is the 335i is twin turbo,the new m will be a six with twin turbo,so wont it be the same motor?

I personally doubt that it will share much, if anything from the N54 platform. They have filed a patent for a V6 (possibily with the tri-turbo that San mentioned), as well as just recently, an electric turbo system (http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=597327)
So who knows.. however, If history and heritage is anything to go by then we'll be blown away (no pun) and they'll produce yet another benchmark motor which often leaves critics silent or grasping for straws.

that guys voice seriously got to me :yuck:

I was not wowed by the interior design i prefer designs that are cleaner and simple... but then again they need to integrate alot of toys into the design so it makes it cluttered...

to me the e46 still has the best looking interior in any 3 series i would have loved it they did an updated version of it for this car

With all the Apple references, I was seriously waiting for him to say something clever like, it's an iMSport! :nonono:

See! I told you!! :roflol:

Shows just how much I was "looking" past the commentary on the vid... :fencelook:

 

[NoFear]

Agree looks epic!!! raise:

 

[Dmonic1]

Im also looking forward to the 328i... i rekon the 180kw on the F30 will be just as quick as the E90 335i... with its additional weight saving etc...

Look forward to the 8spd DCT also and 4cyc consumption

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

BUt no 6 cylinder tone. :nonono: I know they can work magic with the exhaust but I dont know. WIll be epic though, thats for sure....

As for the patent that was filed, I think that was more for the sake fo them having it then them using it. The V8 works on the same principle, and Merc uses V6's. So I think just to piss them off they filed all the patents possible on both the motors so they have exclusive rights. I think the straight will still be used. I hope so

 

[kabal]

well, if you want 6cyl, buy the 335

strange how people are all give me the sound of a 6 cyl, and then at the same time are OMG, give me a e30 M3 :rollsmile:

 

[tcal69]

It is starting to grow on me:inlove:

sat in a 5 series 528i,with the engine idling,doesnt quite sound right,but when the doors are closed you cant here the motor,but otherwise very impressed with the 528i.

 

[Philip Foglar]

But isn't the current 528i the 3.0l I6?! :idea:

Ah, okay, well will give us chance to sample this new engine until the new 3 Series arrives. Checked BMW site - still has the 528i listed as using the 3.0l I6 engine... :thumbs:

maybe im wrong,but thats what my friend said,so now im confused,will ask him again when i see him again

 

[Philip Foglar]

Did it sound very different to your I6? From the YouTube vids that I have seen featuring this new twin turbo I4 - has quite a distinct sound. But idling maybe not as easy to pick up compared to if the engine is revved a bit. Other than opening the bonnet and taking a look, not sure of any other way to identify what it is... I'm all for embracing this new BMW twin turbo technology, but the NA I6's will be missed!!!

 

[Bayn46]

I'm looking forward to the new tech. While I would miss the depth of the I6, the new engines don't sound half bad. MUCH better than the 2L Audi's and VW's.

+1

Especially the DSG's with their "fart" like sounding gear changes!! :yuck:

 

[herr bmw]

but lets be honest,i bought a 323i for the i6 sound,its always something ive liked about bmw.
it does something inside of me and gives me goose bumps.

will the new i4 do that?
