Despite the official pics going public ahead of schedule, BMW managed to protect the best secret about its new two-door 3-Series Coupe. When the new car goes on sale in Europe on September 23rd it will be available with a twin-turbo 3.0L six-cylinder engine. The boosted six will develop 306 hp and 295 ft-lbs. of torque, which will propel the coupe to 62 in 5.5 seconds. Each small turbo powers three cylinders each and spools it quickly on account of its size and provides force-fed assistance all the way to the engine’s lofty 7,000 rpm redline.
The car itself weights 22 lbs. less than the sedan and the 335i SE’s twin-turbo six weighs 155 lbs. less than a comparably powerful V8. The engine also gets direct injection technology for kicks

How bloody mundane and non-descript does that look.

agreed in current state does look rather plain, however with a few schnitzer and m tech goodies, i reckon has potential...
