BMW E90 335i N54 turbo, its here

[caracas_e30]

All 3 series e90's have 3.0L motors. Only difference is in the heads. 2006 is not 1987 or for that matter 1970's. Times changed....especially over a 25 year period. Today's cars have to appeal to a totally different kind of crowd and at the SAME time pass rigorous emmissions tests. Weight goes up, size increases etc etc.

this 3.0l turbo making 300+hp RELIABLE will be a big hit. Audi had its 2.7l bi-turbo just making 255 or so hp. When will people start to see past the performance numbers.....

Times have changed, sorry to all the e30 lightweight hardcore enthusiasts (myself one of them) but this isnt 1987 anymore! its 2006
