I hate to say it, but i think BMW finally missed one :?

LotusGT1 08-05-2006 04:45 AM

Why is this a sticky?

ZfrkS62 08-05-2006 11:58 AM

because i asked TT to make it one so it would be easier to find between updates.

Following its launch in the 3 Series Coupé range, the 335i-badged cars come to the BMW 3 Series Saloon and Touring ranges offering scintillating performance combined with class-leading consumption, emissions figures and enhanced levels of practicality. The heart of the new 335i is a technical tour de force. Its light alloy engine is fitted with two turbochargers, each one feeding three cylinders, and High-Precision Direct Injection technology to produce 306hp and 400Nm of torque.

Unlike competitor cars whose forced induction engines suffer from turbo lag, the small turbochargers on the 335i can react more quickly to throttle inputs for increased power output of low revs. Similarly, with peak torque of 400Nm being achieved all the way from 1,300rpm through to 5,000rpm, the resulting flat torque curve delivers swift in-gear acceleration. Aiding this rapid progress is BMW’s all-new High-Precision Direct Injection system. Piezo injectors, located centrally in the combustion chamber between the inlet and exhaust valves, deliver atomised fuel in a conical burst into the chamber for optimum combustion efficiency.

Such advanced engineering ensures the BMW 335i Saloon dispatches the zero to 62mph sprint in 5.6 seconds while the Touring version completes it in 5.7 seconds, with the top speed of both cars electronically limited to 155mph. In contrast to this high performance, a 335i also offers economical motoring. A 335i Saloon achieves 29.4mpg on the combined cycle and records an emissions figure of 231g/km, while the Touring records 28.8mpg and 235g/km respectively.
Diesel to the power of two

Using the most powerful diesel engine BMW has ever offered in the UK, the new 286hp 335d will be available in the 3 Series Saloon, Touring and Coupé models from September 2006. The new 335d also uses twin turbo technology for the ultimate in diesel performance, but the characteristics of diesel power in this 3.0-litre common rail engine mean the turbochargers work in a slightly different way.

Instead of each turbocharger feeding three cylinders, the 335d uses two different-sized units working in sequence. At low engine speeds, the smaller turbocharger is effective immediately, producing 95 per cent of the available torque at just 1,500rpm. By 1,750rpm maximum torque of 580Nm is delivered and, as the engine speed heads towards 4,400rpm, maximum horsepower of 286hp is achieved as a result of the induction air now being compressed by the larger turbocharger.

This wave of torque from such low engine revs enables the 335d Coupé to power from zero to 62mph in 6.1 seconds while the Saloon and Touring versions take 6.2 and 6.3 seconds respectively. All three models, fitted as standard with a six-speed automatic gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddles for an alternative method of gear change, are electronically-limited to a top speed of 155mph, yet are still capable of achieving economical fuel consumption.

The BMW 325d
Customers seeking high levels of performance and economy but in a more affordable package can choose the single turbocharged BMW 325d in the 3 Series Saloon and Touring models. The 197hp car offers the corporate fleet manager and private buyer alike a vehicle that records a combined consumption figure of 44.1mpg for the Saloon and 42.8mpg for the Touring. Corporate buyers will be further cheered by the CO2 emissions figure of 171g/km and 176g/km for the Saloon and Touring respectively – figures that see both fall into a relatively low Benefit in Kind tax rating.

The 3.0-litre engined 325d Saloon is capable of accelerating from zero to 62mph in 7.4 seconds before going on to a top speed of 146mph. The 325d Touring hits 62mph in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed of 145mph.

E90 M3 rims seem to have been given a day pass :D

Thanks schnell318!

I'm going to be back later today with BMW's press release about the E70 X5 pricing. the 3.0si will be starting at 46,595 and the 4.8i in the low 55K range.

schnell318 08-22-2006 01:19 PM

Here`s the E70 sales catalogue. Hope you like it.

Thanx for sharing
where's Eng version ? :)

Thanks for the pics schnell318, looks all very very nice except the attempt association with an F1 car. The X5 is the last "car" BMW want to use the F1 marketing technique.

thepest 08-22-2006 04:02 PM

Quite some info i there only if it was a bit larger so we can read it all. Thanks tho!

Who's your daddy? -BMW

From the looks of the tread pattern, we're looking at the Dunlop Sp Sports :? We had a huge problem on the E60's with the first generation Dunlop Sports pulling and wearing the inside shoulders in 6K miles :? Though i'm not sure what those tires would be doing on the X5, unless they are using the images in all thier new catalogs :bah:

not really. BMW will always associate their vehicles with motorsport somehow, and given that F1 is the ultimate series (in theory, this statement could spark a HUGE debate alone...) and BMW is the Ultimate Driving Machine, this kinda makes sense.

The X5's still feel quite sporty (in the V8 models. The inline 6 models are kind boring), especially the 4.8is :drool: But the comparison in this case is at the wheel base. Since the pics don't give much of a perspective of the size of the vehicle, why not compare it to teh F1 car, which most people, especially in europe, will be able to relate the size of the F1 car.

Though what they really should have done was put the E53 X5 against the E70 as well.
