2011 BMW 335

BMW added sport-oriented 335is convertible and coupe models with a stronger twin-turbo engine and new 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission for 2011. It gave the 335i models a new engine with a single turbocharger. The convertible and coupe also get revised front and rear styling. Rivals are the Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz CLK 350, Cadillac CTS, and Infiniti G37.

Two gasoline engines are available: a new 300-horsepower, single-turbo 3.0-liter 6-inline cylinder for the 335i and a 320-hp, twin-turbo 3.0-liter for the 335is. Power ratings are unchanged on the 335i engine, but it is become more efficient. The twin-turbo for the 335is gains 20 hp and for passing can temporarily boost torque to 370 pounds-feet from 332.
