For those of you that don’t know the “35” designation on the back end of BMW series number refers to the BMW’s 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged inline six cylinder motor. The folks from Munich don’t want us to forget that the “M” in BMW stands for “motor”. When the 335i first hit the streets a lot […]

BMW is credited with creating the sports sedan. The 2008 BMW M3 is the latest in a long line of fantastic M cars. The M3 has become the benchmark for the uber-enthusiast’s sports sedan. If you don’t think the 300hp twin turbo 335i that can hit 60 in 5 seconds flat and cover the quarter […]
