Just been for a spin in....
A brand new BMW 335i (New Traffic car) Its simply awesome RWD 300bhp, 300 ft. lbs. of torque
Its got a Twin Turbo'd engine so there is absolutely no lag evident.
They've also got a New Impreza STi and everyone has agreed without a doubt that the BMW is far superior in every way.

ahhh cool, got a family friend whos A.R, his fave out of the T5, beemer 530 and Omega are the Omega, he hates the beemer, but id imagine the new one is better.
Is it the same as the diesel, wheres theres a small turbo constantly spooling to eliminate lag why the big turbo is spooling up at higher revs?

This 335 is the petrol one. The Diesel isnt far behind though.
Yep its a smaller turbo eliminating the lag

The 335d is 286bhp (think petrol is 301).
I decided to take the tax hit and order one as a company car instead of the 330d. The performance is incredible.

I've never understood why people find it good that I can will spin its wheels in 3rd, 4th, 5th etc etc gear ?
I'd much rather have a car, where you can actaully use the engine to its full potential, and put the power down onto the road, and accelerate.
Spinning Wheels are for 1.1 Saxo owners in a Mac D's car park.

he wasnt bragging saying it does it all the time, im sure it puts the power down extremely well.... he was just using it as an indicator of its power
