But it’s time to forget the big diesel truck stereotype that has been tattooed across our brains. The small letter “d” in the BMW model names stands for a difference with big results: every BMW diesel engine – whether four-, six- or eight-cylinder – delivers refined power and superb fuel efficiency.
With gas prices on the rise, it might be wise to consider a diesel for your next purchase. The BMW diesel engine offers the advantages of lower fuel consumption, generous torque at low engine speeds and a very long service life, especially when used for multiple short trips. BMW diesel engines combine the BMW characteristics of dynamic performance and sporting agility with excellent smoothness and refined engine acoustics.

Share on FacebookThe door softly closes you in to an interior that is the cockpit for performance. It showcases a unique Dark Glacier Aluminum Trim and an M-Sport steering wheel. A gentle press of the Start button and the engine burbles to life. Driving it is almost magical. There is no strain or hesitation, just immediate thrilling response. If you aren’t comfortable feeling a few g’s in your stomach, don’t test drive this. This car deserves to be tested to its limits. The question is…does it have limits?
It hugs corners like a python. Braking requires a light touch, and is smooth even with a sudden stop. With 320 horsepower, the zero to sixty is achieved in a breathtaking 5 seconds flat. Plus there is an extra seven second overboost function of 370 lb-ft of torque. Car and Driver Magazine comments that the 335is “rockets into triple-digit speeds as if towed by a Boeing 747.”
The 335is is the perfect in-between of the 335i and the M3. The “s” in 335is stands for sport, by the way. Car and Driver Magazine describes it as being “more exotic than a 335i but not as outlandish as an M3″ concluding that the 335is is ”a powerful 3-Series with a fantastic soundtrack.”
Made exclusively in coupe and convertible body styles, the 335is sports an M sport body kit with a more aggressive front fascia than the 335i.
Kuni BMW shot their own in-house film to celebrate the 335is. Enjoy watching here on youtube.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – October 13, 2010 – 12:00pm EDT … BMW announces a base price of $37,625 for the all-new BMW X3 Sports Activity Vehicle®, which arrives in dealer showrooms by the end of the year. That is the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price for the refined, 240-horsepower X3 xDrive28i. The turbocharged, 300-horsepower X3 xDrive35i will have an MSRP of $41,925. Both prices include $875 Destination & Handling fee. Both models feature a standard 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s acclaimed xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system.
BMW sparked the creation of today’s hottest industry segment with the 2004 introduction of the original BMW X3, a vehicle designed to be the best-handling light truck in the world – a true BMW – while affording its owners generous space and versatility to accommodate their active lifestyles. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then the competition has been very sincere indeed. The impact of the original X3 became unquestionable as other manufacturers rushed to join its unique place in the market.
For the second-generation BMW X3, the designers and engineers took inspiration from every lesson learned in the original X3’s seven-year life cycle and forged two new models that extend the reach and strength of the original. More versatile than ever – with a rear seat that can fold in three sections, not just two. Faster. More fuel efficient. Refined. The new X3 will re-establish the benchmark for the segment the original X3 spawned.
The new BMW X3 features the latest in BMW ConnectedDrive technologies, including an available rearview camera with Top View. The most comprehensive integration for the latest Blackberry smartphone devices will be available, making it possible to read emails from the Navigation screen while stationary and, through innovative text-to-speech technology, listen to e-mails while driving. As a true representative of The Ultimate Driving Machine®, the X3 offers a number of options to enhance driving dynamics and active safety. The available Dynamic Handling package includes two firsts in a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle: Driving Dynamics Control and the new Performance Control which works with Dynamic Stability Control to combine individual wheel braking with light throttle to help counteract the effects of understeer and oversteer. Variable Sport Steering is also included with the package. Additionally, for the first time, the X3 will be available with BMW’s Head-Up Display as an option.
With a base price of $37,625 for the X3 xDrive28i, the all-new 2011 X3 also represents a notable jump in value over its 2010 predecessor, which started at $39,725. The 2011 X3 will include more standard equipment, including Bluetooth connectivity, iPod/USB interface, anti-theft alarm system, and on the X3 xDrive35i, standard BMW Xenon Adaptive Headlights. Produced exclusively at BMW’s Spartanburg, S.C. factory, the new X3 will be supported by a state-of-the-art ordering and manufacturing system. Customers will be able to make changes to their vehicle order until six days prior to the start of production.
