\nNow that BMW<\/a> has replaced the twin-turbo 335i with the new twin-scroll, direct injection model<\/a>, the question everyone’s been asking – and by everyone, we mean Bimmer fanatics – is what will happen to the outgoing N44 engine? The new N55 produces the same power and the same torque, but with a flatter curve that makes the grunt more accessible. Yet as every BMW tuner knows, the outgoing N44 has more potential. So the answer, according to reports, is BMW’s plan to offer a new model dubbed the 335is.<\/p>\n

Like the almost-an-M Z4 sDrive35is that debuted<\/a> at the Detroit Auto Show<\/a> last week, the new 335is is tipped to get a revised version of the twin-turbo inline-six, producing 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque (with overboost unleashing 369 lb-ft). Coupled with an M-Sport appearance package with a blacked-out grille and matching mirrors, and a choice of either six-speed manual or (for the first time outside of the M range) seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and you’re looking at the hottest dreiwagen<\/em> this side of an M3. The run from 0 to 60 is expected to be dispatched in five seconds flat, with a top speed limited to 149 mph instead of 130.<\/p>\n

The best part, however, is that – according to reports and some leaked documents<\/a> – the 335is is slated to launch in the North American market before being considered for anywhere else. Finally some payback for all those hot European models we’ve been longing for from the opposite shore.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
