That may be a conflict. What is the M3 going to be rated at? We all know that the previous S4 that was a twin turbo can out do the current S4 and maybe even the RS4 if tuned correctly. So, if BMW really wants to tune the 335i then the M3 should divert from tradition of hih reving naturally aspirated engines and make a turbo for the car. It just doesn't make sense for BMW to make a 330hp 335i. It is to close for comfort and people will just opt to but that over the M3 if they know they can tune it and make it better. The M3 will have about 440hp in order to justify it being an M3 IMO, if the 335i gets 330hp like apparently Enilab said. I don't understand why BMW would gap the cars that close. Also, how much is the 335i going to cost? If the cost of the car is goig to be rather close to the M3, then wouldn't someone opt for the M3? It goes hand in hand and it goes both way. Truthfully the 335i should stay where it is.
