BMW adding all-wheel drive to 3-series coupe



Reports are coming in that BMW will be launching an all-wheel-drive 335xi Coupe sometime in the first half of next year. It will be the first time all four wheels will be powered on a 3-Series coupe, and the car will stand as a direct competitor to Audi's A5 Quattro coupe. Being coupled with BMW's 300-hp twin-turbo inline-six means the 335xi Coupe can reach 60 mph in 5.2 seconds for the manual version (0.1 second quicker than the RWD model) and 5.3 seconds for the automatic (0.2 seconds quicker than the RWD model). It turns out the additional traction more than compensates for the extra weight of BMW's xDrive AWD system. We hear the base price will be $42,600, which we assume is in USD since it falls right above the $40,800 starting price of the 335i (shown) in the U.S.

Just to sum it up


Engine upgrades:

318i : 105 kW (+10 kW) / 190 Nm (+10 Nm)

320i : 125 kW (+15 kW) / 210 Nm (+10 Nm)

325i : 160 kW (+-0 kW) / 270 Nm (+20 Nm) (Note: Engine displacement increased from 2,5 to 3,0 liters)

330i : 200 kW (+10 kW) / 320 Nm (+20 Nm)

318d : 105 kW (+15 kW) / 300 Nm (+20 Nm)

320d : 130 kW (+10 kW) / 350 Nm (+10 Nm)

Can u please transfer those numbers to hp?

That's interesting bmer, are you certain that the 325i gets a three litre engine too? I know that in the US they run two 3.0 litre engines but will this happen globally? If this is the case then they should've upped the power on that mill to around 170 kW to compete toe-to-toe with the C280 on the marketing sheets.

Yeah, that's right, also the 325i gets the 2.996 cc. engine (at least in Europe).
