RDSport RS35 Biturbo

RDSport, aka Racing Dynamics, is taking the competition to other BMW tuners by announcing the arrival of the 335i Coupe based RS35 Biturbo. Upgrades have been made to extract more performance out of a car widely acknowledged as one of the leaders in its class.

The engine is improved by modifying some electronic components for the purpose of improving boost, and optimising fuel and timing. A larger intercooler and free-flowing intake were installed to increase air supply.

Power has thus gone up from the stock 302bhp (225kW) and 295 lb-ft (400Nm) to the RDSport-certified 414bhp (309kW) and maximum torque of 404 lb-ft (548Nm). So it matches the M3 on power but trumps it on torque. The Italian based tuner also got the RS35 homologised by the TUV in Germany.

Bodywork changes include a carbon fiber front bumper with bigger air intakes and carbon housing for the fog lights. There are also deeper side skirts, a different rear apron, quad tailpipes and a rear roof spoiler. The car rides on larger 20-inch wheels while at the same time sitting 25mm lower at the front and 20mm lower at the rear.

The interior is littered with RDSport logos as well as aluminium inserts on pieces like the hand brake and pedals.

For those wishing to increase the performance of an already stellar platform, RDSport offers the RS35 Biturbo.

The first impression you get of the car is its lower, more aggressive stance courtesy of a Chassis Kit consisting of new custom-valved Bilstein struts, stiffer springs and anti-roll bars. The vehicle now sits 25 mm lower in the front and 20mm lower in the rear with a decidedly more stable ride. Filling the fenders are lightweight, 20" RD2 Monoblock wheels or the optional 20" RS2 multi-piece wheels, shown. Tires are P Zero Nero's supplied by Pirelli, our development partner.

Engine performance includes electronic modifications to increase boost and optimize fuel and timing. A free-flowing intake and a larger, more-efficient intercooler help supply enough air. Exhaust gasses run through a larger exhaust that terminates in stainless sport silencers with quad tips. These modifications result in an increase in horsepower and torque to 414 bhp and 404 lb/ft - more than the V8 powered M3!

The under hood area is finished with a blue engine cover with RDSport crest. These numbers are merely the result of a long development period including TUV homologation. Any tuner can offer a black box upgrade for the vehicle, but how many can say that their modification has been tested and can include the upgraded speedometer and wheels and tires that the homologation requires.

Bodywork is an evolution of RDSport's signature Tornado aerodynamics. The revised carbon front bumper offers larger openings for better engine and brake cooling with an exposed carbon housing for fog lights. Deeper side skirts and revised rear apron with quad exhaust cut outs add to the aggressive look while a roof and trunk spoiler smooth out the airflow over the car.

Interior upgrades include the RS Pedal Set in machined aluminum, aluminum hand brake cover, logo carpet set, the aforementioned upgraded speedometer with logo and RDSport crests in the steering wheel and shift knob.
Each complete vehicle built by RDSport includes a vehicle ID badge and VIN specific build sheet.

Pretty cool. More photos would be great. No mention about the price. I bet it comes close to the price of an M3 once installed.

Not really an M3 killer, more like an M3 with a different body-kit.

Racing Dynamics is quite well known. Why dilute that by using the completely generic "RDSport" moniker? I quite like this though. Turbocharged smaller units is the way BMW is going itself, no? This is probably not far off what we can expect of M3s in the future then.

Looks very impressive and the red color it's color of 3rd series 2 why they(BMW) forget such expressive, dynamic color?what about m3 killer guys) the hendling of m3 prove evrything on track or even in street,On the paper evryone can write 1000nm bla bla not evry engine can bear that power for big time tuning it's the balance of evrything that's why M devision creating such fantastic cars.waiting for more photos ;)

man that is a sweet exhaust. Looks real nice from back there. and yeah, i wonder what they could do with an M3? insane.

I guess it's alright, but there is nothing that makes it stand out from the M3. I would much rather the M3 because the M3 has a V8 and is naturally aspirated. Turbo inline 6 means turbo lag.

not these days, especially with a twin turbo set-up.

I've had a 335i for a couple of days when my M3 was in service, and I can tell you that I didn't feel any turbo lag whatsoever. The only drawback is the car was an automatic. If you guys haven't already, go test drive one, you won't be disappointed.

my wife drives a 335xi coupe, and there is lag, great car, but naturally aspirated is always the way to go for tractability.

NA is also usually the slower way to go, save for large displacement engines.

Looks nice yeah, not sure what termigni is on about. But yeah, will no doubt cost just as much as an M3, and who would want to ruin their warranty/motorplan by buying this 335?

550nm of torque? On a 335i? Holy sheeet. I'd love to get taken out of my comfort zone for a spin in this. Massive increases all round: kudos to RDSport.
