Nice, I wonder how much a 335i will cost.

Nice, BMW takes the more expensive but clearly better FI design. I know that alot of people howl over the idea of a FI BMW I6, but this is what they must do if they want to stay in the running with a 6 cylinder engine.

That is f'ing AWESOME. With the bi-turbo setup, I bet that thing has 250+ hp at anything over 2000 rpm.

Kirby those people who get pissed are just ignorant, since BMW has already sold a lot of I6 with FI from the factory in the past.

That is a really sweet looking setup! Man, I can't wait to drive one.

I want one... Do you think I can get one installed in my E34 for around $200?

yea thanks I can read I was saying 250+ hp for that specific RPM. Sounds like torque is though!

will this outperform the current E46 M3 given the extra torque?

Doubt it, e46 m3 has pretty short gearing. E46 M3 is still faster than the Z4 M coupe I believe...unless I read it wrong.
