BMW 3 Series Coupe
BMW unveiled a new range of engines in the 3 Series convertible , which later will also be available in the BMW 3 Series Coupe.

While the BMW 3 Series Coupe is more expensive than other coupes, for the quality of finishing that has and, in general, so it is gratifying to lead, we feel that their relationship between price and value is better than the others that cost less.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The version we tested is the 335i, with a turbocharged engine of 3.0 litre engine capacity and 306 hp (technical information of this engine). It is an exceptional engine, which gives the 335i superior performance to those of other models of higher power (including the previous M3, 343 hp) with a relatively low consumption.

With this engine, the 335i accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 5.5 s and has an average consumption of 9.5 litres/100 km. The acceleration is better than the other four seats coupes and consumption is very good (comparison chart), as in the other versions, the maximum speed is limited to 250 km / h.

But to be good, what is most impressive is not their performance, but the smooth and forceful response that is within a margin regime extraordinarily broad. This engine gives the best of 3.0 litres of petrol atmospheric and turbocharged diesel.

The 330i BMW 3 Series Coupe has a 3.0 litre engine cylinder capacity similar to other recent models from BMW, but with more power. The 330i can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 6.1 s and consumes 8.8 litres/100 km. It also reaches 250 km / h.

The 325i has a variant of the previous engine, but with 2.5 litre engine capacity and 218 hp. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.9 s, reached 247 mph has an average consumption of 8.4 litres/100 km. The engines of the 330i and 325i have indirect injection and distribution Valvetronic. The future of six-cylinder engines will have no direct injection and distribution Valvetronic.

The 335d BMW 3 Series Coupe carries the 3.0 l diesel engine with two turbines that has the 535d (information on the engine in the 535d), but with an output of 286 hp instead of 272. It accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h in 6.1 s and the maximum speed is limited to 250 km / h. Its consumption is 7.5 litres/100 km approved.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The 330d BMW 3 Series Coupe has a 3.0 litre engine version of 231 hp (such as that currently has the 330d). It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.6 s, reached 250 km / h and spends 6.5 litres/100 km. In other words, values are virtually equal to those of the saloon (one-tenth less acceleration).
BMW 3 Series Coupe
All except the BMW 3 Series Coupe 335d series have a manual gearbox and six-speed, optionally, a new automatic gearbox, also six-speed (standard on the 335d). From what we've seen in the 335i BMW 3 Series Coupe, the operation of this box is very good for speed and smoothness.

This new automatic gearbox can be used manually with a cam on the steering wheel, something recommended if you are going to do a driving sport, at least for the 335i.

The touch of the BMW 3 Series Coupe is very similar to the saloon, in broad strokes. The suspension is clearly harder or that the car is more nimble, the 3 Series saloon and it is much.

Apart from the fact that it has two side doors instead of four, the bodywork of the BMW 3 Series Coupe has other differences with the saloon, structural , appearance and equipment.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The BMW 3 Series Coupe is a four-seater, with a division in the back seat . The rear seats have the width and space for their legs enough for two adults traveling with breadth, but for that role, they lack height. For two children are more than enough, even if traveling on chairs that are bulky.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The volume of the trunk is 440 l in all versions; except that the 335i has 430 l. In other words, is slightly larger than a Mercedes-Benz CLK (435 l) and something less than a 3 Series four-door (460 l).
BMW 3 Series Coupe
All BMW 3 Series Coupe series have a button for starting the engine, CD player, sport steering wheel with controls, climate control, automatic windscreen wipers, Xenon headlamps for short and long seats and some lower than those of the saloon. Several interior elements, such as door handles or the gear lever, are metallic. The BMW 3 Series Coupe unveils six-color body that was not available in the saloon.

The DSC stability control has some new features, such as an increase in pressure in the brake circuit to compensate for the overheating of the liquid, drying newspaper discs with the tablets when connecting the wipers, the role that softens the detention of the car (SoftStop) and assistant to boot in ramps (with manual).

The 335i BMW 3 Series Coupe will be satisfactory or not depending on the use that was going to give. It is not advisable if you are going to be a car to travel for all sorts of roads and was awaiting him some comfort. It is highly recommended for those who seek a sporty and agile able to move very quickly on good roads, they are fast or slow, at the expense of the suspension is harsh.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
For the first order coupes other four seats more recommendable, as a Mercedes-Benz CLK Coupe or a Peugeot 407, or two plus two, as an Alfa Romeo Brera or the Audi TT with the suspension of series.

The 335i we tested, if the surface layer of asphalt was not in good condition suspension became very dry and came to shake the body with abruptness. In contrast, well paved roads, which can give comfort suspension, can be considered satisfactory for being a sport. The list of equipment that BMW sent to the press the following comment appears next to the option for these tires: "Note: this combination of wheels / tires, 19 inches ensures an extremely sporty driving behaviour due to a reduced suspension and comfort rolling. "
BMW 3 Series Coupe
In slow road with asphalt and in good condition is difficult to draw the 335i of its career, unless he makes a mistake is too big or more than they should accelerate the departure of a curve. Stability is high and lateral grip provided by its tyres very high.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
With stability control off and going fast reactions can be very alive. In a Porsche Cayman S (proof of this model), which is exceptional as sports, the transition from a normal situation to a delicate is not as sharp as in the 335i. To some extent (motor car is a central rear), makes things somewhat easier to whoever leads this 335i with 19 wheels. "
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The motion falls short of what you need a car with this engine, but has a lot of strength and can not be expected to accelerate fund at the exit of curves and that the car does not move, even with stability control connected. This is especially visible in curves linked or if the inertia downloads one of the driving wheels.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The engine of the 335i combines the power, smoothness and excellent touch which is the engine of 330i, with the elasticity of the 330d and a performance far superior to those of either. With this turbocharged gasoline engine low blow and relatively high compression ratio, BMW has managed to combine the best of two excellent engines, each in his style, gasoline atmospheric and turbocharged diesel.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The answer to low regime is very good, you can move into higher gear at a very low regime without the engine produces noise or vibration. The answer, as well as soft, is very aggressive when stepping on the accelerator depth. If you want all acceleration that could give the engine, we must treat it as a gasoline engine rotational speed (short marches and the speed limit; just over 7,000 rpm, in this case). However, there is no need to move quickly squeeze the engine, which gives the acceleration in higher gear at low speed is more than enough.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
In our measurements, the 335i BMW 3 Series Coupe has been faster than the M3, with the bodywork earlier (E46) and 343 hp (test), and as much as a Porsche Cayman S, which is less powerful 11 HP and 185 kg lighter. In measurements of recovery, the Cayman S (atmosphere) is slower than the 335i. The fifth running of the BMW has a development similar to the sixth Porsche; comparing measurements in these marches, the BMW is 3.0 s fastest (which represents a 32 per cent).
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The journey by road one-way that it normally have spent 9.2 litres/100 km to an average of 136 kph, a value very good. This has been a version of automatic change. It is possible that the version with manual spend more on a journey together since their developments are shorter. A 120 mph, the engine of automatic turn 2,500 rpm while the manual does so at 2,800 rpm.

In a use that has combined areas where they took advantage of the maximum acceleration with others where they went to a calmer pace, consumption indicated that the computer was 25 litres/100 km. Not much for the benefits of this model.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
In town, consumption can be regarded as low. Spending about 14 litres/100 km, with all kinds of traffic, is a good value in a car of this power and with automatic change. One reason that is so low is because the elasticity of the engine and the operation of automatic change: accelerating normally makes changes when the engine has slightly exceeded 2,000 rpm, so most people walk into higher gear with turning the engine below 1,500 rpm.

The sound is one of those who tend to like, dominated the serious from the exhaust to accelerate with the engine under a regime; turbochargers not hear.

In presenting this model we were able to drive a 335i with manual. This change has the distinctive touch of BMW, may seem slow and hard to handle when normally, but it is very fast and accurate when changing rapidly. The change ZF six marches that BMW has already was very good, and the mechanical and programming changes that have, gives a much better result.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
It has two programs operating in automatic mode (D and Ds), with the first already operational so that when there is a need for acceleration or an intense retention big change is capable of providing automatically. In mode Ds there is a noticeable trend to keep the engine of higher returns, except when driving at constant speed. In this second way is remarkable capacity for change in order to maintain progress curve, withholding or braking.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
It can handle manually using a lever or some controls on the steering wheel. These controls are in solidarity with the steering wheel and there are two, each with a double movement: push serves to reduce and pulling them are increased marches.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The process of change (once the box has taken the decision to change or the driver has the controls used to do) is very fast, even when reduced more than one way. The result of this change is such that BMW has decided to dispense with the automated manual SMG.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The engine of the 330d is very nice because it gives a very strong acceleration from a regime very low. Unlike what happens in a 330i, almost carefree change is possible. You do not have the smoothness of gasoline, especially if it speeds up considerably since under the regime. Although the acceleration is indifferent to, in some cases it is preferable that the engine has a very high margin regime, something that lacks a Diesel.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
The gasoline engine with 3.0 l atmospheric we liked in all models in which we have led by its strength, his soft touch from under the regime and its ability to reach to force a regime with very high.
