(plus the coupe will come out in AWD in the fall from what I hear)...

At first I hated the new 3 series and I thought the back lights looked cheezy...but I realize this car looks good in white and this new powertrain is very very inpressive...and honestly...this is a good looking car....I dont know....I just dont see paying 4 grand more for a similarly equipped s4 while getting a slower car and worse MPG....what do you guys think...I'd love to stay with audi as my next ride but bmw coupe/sedan 335 has got me thinking...<ul><li><a href="http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45107">http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45107</a</li></ul>

Default mike these are the numbers for 335i with the xede tuning

Stock
287RWHP and 287RWTQ

With XEDE it put down:

348 RWHP and 373.88 RWTQ!!!

Those are pretty insane numbers...I wonder if the xi variants will be able to handle the power...

Default and then the turbos blow up.

j/k, but I do think that the 335 will follow the b5 s4 route as far as stock turbo reliability goes.

Default I'd do it for the drivetrain alone

I still can't get used to the style and my last test drive of the coupe left me wanting for more in the interior department

My wife is thinking about leasing one in the next few months, so like it or not, I must learn to like the style. I just hope the turbos last for the duration of the lease...

Default I've seen a couple threads on this issue

on bimmerfest...kidding aside, it has caught my attention at the very least...if I'm not mistaken, the turbos are actually placed within or near the block, thus leading to heating issues (at least according to some analysis on the bimmer forums)
