BMW tends to change it’s 3 series lineup every 6 or 7 years, alongside with that comes a new coupe. BMW has another version of its coupe waiting, with even more safety, even more surefooted handling, and even better engines.

BMW can always boast it’s engines, and the new coupe is in no way exception. Inside the car is the new twin-turbo 3.0-liter six, good for an Alpine 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. Another pleasant thing is that maximum torque is available at a very sea-level-like 1300 rpm, helping banish lag and making for smooth power from takeoff all the way to the 7000-rpm rev limit.

BMW claims that the twin-turbo six weighs 154 pounds less than a V-8 with comparable power yet ought to average 25 mpg or better. The engine has two small  turbochargers, each of which feeds three cylinders, High-Precision Injection (stationed directly between the intake valves for exceptionally consistent and direct pulses of fuel).

BMW has found that the turbo six has more advantages (less mass and lower consumption and emissions), which outweigh the advantages of a V-8. It can been noticed in the 335i 5.3-second 0-to-60-mph sprint, which is trully fast!
