Test Drove a BMW 335i Coupe, Always looking for my next car Options

[UTSlickVic]

Well I saw the 335i coupe in a comerical and I thought "man that Bimmer looks very sweet". Then I stopped thinking about it. Why? Well BMW has never really impressed me as far as enignes go. Of course their M3s aare bad ass, but they are basically maxed out N/A egines.

Well then I found out the 335i has a 3.0L Straight-six, twin turbo powering it! Sound familiar? supra. Anyways, I have been waiting for Lexus/Toyota or even Infiniti/Nissian to come out with thier in-linsix twin turbo car.... and I kept waiting..... and waiting. I cant believe BMW made this move!

Well so I test drove a Black 335i, full loaded, sport sift automatic. And let me say that car is freaking fast as hell! I mean of the start and from 30-50 mph that thing is pulling. No turbo lag at all. Took it around corners and it held its ground well, without hardly any body roll. I was VERY impressed. The interior looks great, I prefer the new IS interior, though. All the while I was thinking this thing feels like it has more than 300 hp.... found this article that supports my thoughts....

BMW 335i, more powerful than listed?

This is the front runner now. However I will say a Supra is a classic car, period. Its beautiful still today.

too heavy

too heavy

It is a quite a big coupe.

Never the less, it has 50/50 weight distribution
Only ~50 lbs heavier than the G35 Coupe/IS 350
and the 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque makes up for it

EDIT: Well according to the link, after dynoing the car had 350hp and 360 lb-ft of torque... 275hp at the wheels.
