2007 BMW Coupe
Here's the new 3-series coupe which will be called either a 328i, 328xi, or 335i. The 335i will be a twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline-6 engine. Fantastic torque of 300 lb/ft at 1,400-5,000 rpm. This thing will be very fast ~0-40.

The seat of my pants told me that they seriously under-rated the E90 325, probably to widen the spec gap between it and the 330. Interesting to see that the dyno has verified this--though I wonder where the 330 checks in. I wouldn't personally pay the extra cash for the 330.

Especially on the highway - I'd put my money on any 1999-up 325 against an IS250.

The E90 widens this significantly.
