A BMW pegou no já á venda 330i e no seu bloco de 3.000cc, meteu um twin turbo, e expremeu mais 70cv. até aos 330cv.
Ficando já com um carro de "M3 material", rekegando o M3 para um 4.0 ainda com cavalagem incerta.
BMW’s 3.0 liter Twin-Turbodiesel won the 2.5 to 3.0 liter category in the International Engine of the Year awards. With this new-found expertise on how to mate an engine with a turbocharger, they are going for a new petrol twin-turbo engine for their E92 335i.
The E92 is a two-door coupe form of the 3-series. The sedan was designated E90 and the touring stationwagon was the E91.
BMW’s new coupe will be called the 335i. The 35 in the model name does not mean the car will have a 3.5 liter engine under the hood.
BMW will actually be turbocharging their in-line 6 cylinder 3.0 liter engine from the 330i with twin-turbos. The turbos are sequential, one small one for the low revs and a bigger one for the higher revs. The resulting power is equivalent to a 3.5 liter normally aspirated engine, which explains the 335i insignia that will be on the bootlid.
Their new twin-turbo petrol engine is expected to make about 330hp, roughly 70hp higher than the normally aspirated 3.0 engine. The engine is currently being tested on their 5-series model with a modified bumper to allow better airflow for the intercooler.

Isto é que vai ser... Meter TwinTurbos em carros a gasolina.
Queria era ver isto no 320i TwinTurbo, com uns 230cv.(numa versão soft. lol)
Assim, lá vai a supremacia dos diesel em recuperações e em "mexidelas" só mesmo no consumo.
