torquey

[Cool_jazz]

torqey indeed.

this graph defines a FLAT torque "curve"

[Cool_jazz]

With reference to the dyno chart I posted....

Just realised that the engine is so new that not many BMW fans will know what it is.

That chart is the dyno for the E92 335i.... inline-6 twin turbo.

I wonder if BMW is shooting itself in the foot.... I mean this 335i has 400Nm of torque from 1300-5000rpm ..... will anyone still want the V8 M3?

That's very fat, and very fat torque, right from 1500rpm!

 

Power of the 335

 

Looking forward to the new M3

[BMW320i]

Hey I don't mind 400nm of torque at 1300rpm.

 

Bit fantasy but I don't mind at all !!!

[Ahbengdriver]

I hope they ll put the TT techno on the 325i and 330i sedans in near future, so people in car-expensive singapore like me can get to enjoy it

[BMW320i]

I would be more keen in having their i-Drive showing Tacho, Speedo, G meter, A/F Ratio, EGT, Oil temp, water temp.

 

But I guess I'm asking for too much.

[Lackcy]

read somewhere that BMW is coming up with something super special for the M3. dunno how special though, i guess the power figures must be better than the 335i right?

 

ya la, otherwise, something wrong with the people at BM

[Cool_jazz]

correction... not from 1500 but from 1300 rpm

[Cool_jazz]

If rpm at idle is 1100 (quite the norm).... imagine just a little pressure exerted on the acclerator and the car will take off

[Cool_jazz]

The new M3 is a V8. Probably NA and not FI. BMW will probably make it a high rev engine. Think about it, the F1 cars are now using V8.

 

High revs will make it more raw. The 335i with it twin turbo and flat torque is more of a sleeper with power to pull with just about any cars.

 

The M5 uses the V10 (F1 prior to 2006 season uses v10)

How appropriate....

[Lackcy]

correcto! this is indeed an exciting develpment from BM. I always thought they dun need FI cos their engines already damn powerful.

Not looking good my friends. Really not looking good. Front's okay - at least better than the sedan version. But the back... *yaaawwwnnn*.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not ugly... (though some may say it is), but gosh isn't it boring to look at. The italians must be giggling...

 

personally i think its very nice.

looks abit like the 6 series

[Relagsingh]

hmmm...

 

I compared it to some pics of the E46 coupe... I would say this new one looks more muscular and better overall.
