The 330i will have 255hp and 0-60 in 5.7seconds!

I REALLY like the look of the new Camaro! Looks like they are going after the look that the new Mustang has for '05.

***Edit*** hp is 255 not 225 for the 330i (according to the link)

Um, no...the new 3L will have around 250-255 hp and the 2.5L will have around 210-215. There might even be a turbo version of the 3L engine to slot below the M3 with around 340 hp, according to AutoWeek

you know with the current 2005 g35 coupe putting out nearly 300 hp(on manual models) i think it would be wise for bmw to rethink what they are doing and try to squeeze out just a few more ponies, not a hater i respect all the cars out there its jsut that if they are trying to win a horsepower game even with there lower models...they should start being a little bit more competitive even though their current cars are great but i dont think anyone will bounce the extra money for an m3 just to compete with a 35k infiniti!

did anyone notice it mentioned rumons on a turbo'd i6 AND a fwd version of the e90???

We can confirm BMW is plotting the return of turbocharging to the lineup with a 3.0-liter, 340-hp I6 in a proposed 330Ti. It is aimed at bridging the gap between the regular line and a new 4.0-liter, 400-hp V8-powered M3. BMW also is developing a limited number of fwd 3s using the electronically controlled xDrive system found in the X3.

will it be the same 3L I6 for the 06' 3 series? 255bhp is pretty good for the same block
