wow, that's just insane.

300 ft lbs @ 1400 rpm

Same car, just turboed.

[blizzard335]

230hp??

Didnt the 3 litre come with 261PS???

The 2008 X5 3.0L and the Z4 come with 260hp

[b3nsonx]

wow, that's nuts.

[blizzard335]

The 2008 X5 3.0L and the Z4 come with 260hp

owh

coz the 530i we get here has 272bhp.

[JoshM]

We don't get a 530i.

But, the 535i has 300hp... the 535xi has 300hp and is AWD.

Turbo

Wallops of low speed torque.

I dont like Edmunds. Most of their information is misposted or inaccurate, or you just cant read anything due to the clusterfuck of adds.

There are 2 versions of this engine, at least here in the states. There was the 255HP version sold in the 330i, but it had a dual stage IM. This engine was retired when the 330i became the 335i, and without the dual stage IM, it is left producing 230HP, hence the 230HP 328i.

Also, as far as "peak torque" goes, this number is misleading. This engine actually makes peak or very close to peak torque over a very broad RPM range. This is for a simple reason. Peak torque occurs at the point of highest volumetric efficiency. Since Valvetronic allows valve timing, and lift to be infinitely varied over a large RPM band, creating peak volumetric efficiency over a large RPM band, that is why it has the torque curve it does. Interstingly, everyone likes to smash on i-VTEC for being over rated, but Honda has come pretty close to this using regular old i-VTEC. AVTEC should improve it to a degree similar to Valvetronic, the main difference being that AVTEC will be less cumbersome mechanically, and will thus allow high revs, where Valvetronic is pretty much tapped out by 7,000. That is why you don't see Valvetronic on the M engines.

that's true, because it says that CB7's have a 17 gallon gas tank.
as far as i know, my car cant get past 13 gallons.

[JoshM]

All CB's have 17 gallon tanks.

I believe all CD's do as well.

wtf, when my fuel gauge gets super low, and then i refil at the gas station, it goes up to about 12 gallons.

Torque beast, honestly some of these new sports cars and sedans put some trucks to shame in the low rpm torque specs
