The turbocharged engine is also considerably lighter than a normally aspirated powerplant of equal power. In the case of the 335i, the new twin-turbo six-cylinder engine weighs approximately 70kgs less than an eight-cylinder engine of corresponding performance. This weight advantage benefits both fuel economy and weight distribution.

hory shiit! please tell me this is for sale in the states.
Very nice machine - performance figures seem odd. Must have used small twin turbos to only get 306bhp, lag should be very low though. Leaves it wide open for the performance aftermarket though - providing the engine block and internals hold up someone will be slapping something bigger on in no time.
In terms of 0-60 the old M3 is likely a tad fasterr - but people dont drive 0-60, 0-60, 0-60.
Im guessing with the twins, the first turbo will start to spool around 2k rpm and both will go online around 4k rpm - I'm guessing here lol.
Anyway, the mid range punch of this car should out perform the old m3, at least judging by most of the twin turbo set ups ive driven. And this is the area where the majority of people drive on a daily basis, so it should be bags of fun.
The old m3 3.0L was pretty maxed out as it was - you really would find it difficult to get more than 343 bhp out of a 6 cylinder without going "grenade tune".
