The new 335is's single turbo engine produces 320hp and 370 lb-ft of torque when demanded. This power drives the coupe through a 1/4mi. in 13.3 seconds at 108mph.
Subtle design updates give the coupe an even sportier look. Check out the rear diffuser below.
The interior remains mostly unchanged but is still on par when with the M's
BMW’s new DCT dual-clutch automated manual transmission addressed the first gear engagement problem found in the M3. This makes for quicker launches in the 335is.
The new 335is offers greater fuel efficiency, almost identical performance and similar styling all while saving you $8,000. I find it a difficult argument to pick the M3 over the 335. Watch out for the tuners who get a hold of this car and boost it's turbo output, it's going to be a rocket ship and put the M3 to shame. Lesson here, BMW might be cutting into their M-market with the high performance daily drivers they're currently producing.
Below is the 2011 335is
0-60mph: 4.6s
1/4mi: 13.2s
MPG: 17/24 mpg
Price: $50,525
Now compare to the 2011 M3 seen below. Not much different right?
0-60mph: 4.6s
1/4mi: 12.7s
MPG: 14mpg/20mpg
Price: $58,400
