BMW Performance Upgrade

theDude · 07-02-2007, 05:48 PM

Went to see my CA today...he gave me some numbers on the performance upgrade BMW plans to offer. According to him, it will be available soon after the 2008 models arrive and will produce 360 hp and 340 torque.

Oh, he also mentioned that it would cost ~2500.

More grist for the rumor mill I suppose, but thought it might be of interest.

Considering a current stock 335i really has ~ 330HP and ~ 340 lb.-ft. TQ (as seen by many independent dynos), I wonder if BMW is just planning on doing nothing (or just a very minor MAP/boost tweak) and increasing the HP/TQ on paper for an extra $2,500.

One word response...PROcede. :rocks:

Interestingly, 360 HP would give the 335i the same HP-to-weight as the 2008 135i.
