Now, the award-winning BMW 3.0 litre Twin Turbo petrol engine, recent winner of the coveted 2007 International Engine of the Year title, is increasing the dynamism and performance of this sports saloon to unprecedented levels.
At the same time, both the BMW 330i and BMW 323i receive a 10kW power boost for enhanced driveability and performance.
The world’s first straight six with Direct Injection and Twin Turbos.
The new BMW 335i Saloon features BMW’s award-winning Twin Turbo 3.0-litre straight-six power unit, with High-Precision Injection and an all-aluminium crankcase. Recently lauded as International Engine of the Year 2007, this 225 kW power unit, while based on BMW’s highly successful normally-aspirated six-cylinder, has opened up a new era in engine development.
For the first time, BMW has combined the qualities typical of this six-cylinder with the power-boosting effect of two turbochargers and second-generation direct gasoline injection offering significant advantages in both power delivery and fuel economy – and resulting in a total of four trophies for this power unit at the 2007 World Engine of the Year awards.
The result of this combination, clearly, is a particularly thrilling rendition of efficient dynamics.
