BMW has served as an icon in the automobile industry. Its name spells might and style that is the very reason why it is enjoying the top position in the car manufacturing market. Nonetheless, with the release of Lexus IS350 which has 306 horsepower and the Infiniti G35 which also have above 300 horsepower mark, BMW is found wanting for acceleration. Hence, it has triggered the debut of a powerful car from the automaker by the name BMW 335i sedan.

All-new 335i sedan comes with the customary BMW body parts only that this time the automaker offers turbocharged V6 to create greater power, performance and acceleration. To those wondering how powerful this model can get, the car has been clocked at 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and a 1/4 mile in 13.6 seconds. Peak torque of 300 lb-ft comes effortlessly to extend over a wide speed range from 1,400 – 5,000 rpm.

The 6-cylinder engine is the world's first of engine of its kind. Said car also has high precision fuel injection, six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, all-aluminum crankcase, Valvetronic valve management, an electric coolant pump, fully controlled oil pump, top-quality audio, navigation and telematic solutions, and more. Six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission is also offered as an option.

The proficient increase in acceleration is attributable in part to the gasoline direct injection. The concept behind was developed by BMW to ensure a more appealing and powerful car with measurable edge in fuel economy without reducing its dynamic qualities.

BMW 335i sedan retained its magical dynamics and driving feel. The only difference is that it is given a boost in handling and acceleration. It boasts its new standard of responsiveness and spontaneity. Moreover, it can accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. When equipped with sport package, this feature can continue to a top speed of 150 mph.
