 | Re: 3.0 litre twin-turbo OFFICIALLY released A 3.0L I6 twin turbo should be able to develop a lot more than 225kW; though 400Nm isn't too bad. 225kW is barely more than the 3.0L I6 makes in NA version in the 130i. They're probably trying not to impinge too much on the widely-rumoured 4.0L V8 that will be in the next M3. That said, if the two turbos are small, then you might need something more than an ECU upgrade to get monstrous power. |

 | Re: 3.0 litre twin-turbo OFFICIALLY released So is this car going to compete with MB C350 and IS350? - MB C350 has ,272hp, 350Nm - Lexus IS350 has 306, 375Nm - BMW 330i has 258hp, 300Nm - BMW 335i has 306hp, 400Nm C350 cost more than 330i. What about 335i, do you think 335i are going to cost a lot more than C350? Can we expect to see C350 vs IS350 vs 335i comparisons in the future? What about Audi A4, is there going to be a 300hp A4 soon? Can we expect a 335si with about 330hp and ZSG in a close future? BTW Pressrelese can be found here.

| Re: 3.0 litre twin-turbo OFFICIALLY released 335 is M3 performance for M3 money? I dont know, but I'd expect one of two things to happen, a) either the price on the 335 is up there, or b) they mark down the prices of the current cars w/ the new model designations. Whatever the case, I wouldn't expect to see a whole lot of 335's if they end up pricing it around 45k+. For this size of car, that kind of money is way pushing it. Unless you're an attn. whore?   |

| Re: 3.0 litre twin-turbo OFFICIALLY released So BMW is now using turbo chargers. How did Lexus achieve about the same power figure without turbos. I think I guessed it, it`s inline 6 is a little larger. (Rumer has it the next 760IL V12 will also be Bi-Turbo charged)
