2012 BMW 335i Improvements
The new 3 Series BMW Sedan arrives in US showrooms in February 2012 as a 2012 model; two models were initially offered on the E92 for North America — the 328 and the 335, but now there is a new 2012 BMW 335i trim level in addition to convertible variants in the mix as well.
With the announcement of the sixth generation 2012 BMW 335i, the benchmark by which all sport sedans are measured just got raised. The pioneering history of the 3 Series serves as inspiration for the new BMW 335i, whose powerful styling represents a fresh interpretation and conscientious development of traditional BMW design cues.
The 2012 BMW 335i will not only set new standards for performance and handling but also for luxury, technology and efficiency as well. Outside, the BMW 335i gets new front and rear fascias, as well as standard Xenon headlamps. The new BMW 335i fascias create slightly longer overhangs.
The new 2012 BMW 335i face, with elongated headlights reaching along as far as the BMW kidney grille, emphasizes the BMW 3 New 2012 sense of width and strengthens its athletic overall profile. Inside the new BMW 335i, the rear passengers will appreciate the noticeable increase in space made possible by the larger dimensions.
The sixth generation of the new 3 Series has grown moderately in size compared to its predecessor, with its wide track (front + 37 mm/1.46 in., rear + 47 mm/1.85 in.) particularly prominent, and the BMW 335i length (+ 93 mm/3.66 in.) and wheelbase (+ 50 mm/1.96 in.) also accentuates its sporting allure.
The BMW 335i has a new 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder with a single twin-scroll turbocharger, high-precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminum crankcase, pushing the car to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds better than the 2011 BMW 335 0 60. The BMW 335i motor produces 300 horsepower at 5800 rpm, peak toque is 300 pound-feet, available from a mere 1,200 rpm, all the way up to 5,000 rpm.
BMW says the new BMW 335i N55 engine replaces the N54 with was the same displacement, but required twin-turbochargers. The new 335Is Engine N55 single turbo setup produces the same peak power but with a lower starting torque curve, as well as better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in the 2012 BMW 335i.
The innovative 8-speed automatic gearbox in the 2012 BMW 335i — which is a first in the segment — opens up a whole new level of driving experience. It can be specified in combination with either the 328i or the BMW 335i and includes the new Auto Start-Stop function. Compact and exceptionally efficient, it allows the BMW 335i to match or outperform models fitted with the standard six-speed manual gearbox in terms of fuel economy.

BMW says handling characteristics and the dynamic nature of the BMW 335i have also improved. Part of the reason can be attributed to the BMW 335i rear-wheel-drive setup, 50:50 weight distribution, and torsionally stiff body.
