Effortless Funtionality / The BMW Gran Turismo
BMW has announced substantial enhancements to the 2011 3 Series Coupe and Convertible, including outstanding style updates for the 328i and 335i models and a new engine for the 335i models. The 2011 3 series Coupe and Convertible models will go on sale in Spring 2010, and pricing is now available.
Fundamentally unchanged are each car’s essential attributes of rear wheel drive (all wheel drive is available on the coupe). near perfect 50-50 weight distribution, remarkably precise steering, and skillfully engineered suspension… all of which conspire to produce the uniquely satisfying driving experience that is quintessentially BMW.
All-new is the engine for the 335i model. Internally designated the “N55,” this turbocharged, all-aluminum engine features essentially the same “short block” and 3.0-liter displacement of its predecessor, but benefits from five additional year’s worth of development and refinement. The result is an engine that is more responsive, more fuel efficient, and cleaner-running than its outstanding predecessor, but preserves the previous engine’s output and soul: 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, and a 7,000 rpm red-line. The 6-speed manual gearbox – beloved by North American enthusiast drivers – remains standard, and the well known 6 speed Steptronic automatic is optional, now featuring “pull-style” shift paddles on the multifunction steering wheel.
First launch of the all new 2011 BMW 5 Series Sedan will land in the US Spring of 2010. The first models released will be the 535i and the 550i.
