I agree with the marketing reason - wouldn't 335hp be too close for comfort for the M3. Whereas, the Z4is doesn't have such an older brother to worry about.

I like it with that subtle bodykit. I don't think it is too close to the M3. Besides, 85bhp is a big difference.

it's probably for marketing reasons to distance from the M3. but then again, a little computer tuning and a better intake brings that back up and even more, so it is a non issue ;)

I have the same hp and torque by installing BMW performance for my 335i except it does not have the 10 second overboost.

it's a known fact that the 335i has more hp than the official numbers. i wonder what the real power of the 335is is.

Word is..the base N54 puts out 300-315HP to the wheels. That puts actual crank numbers around 330-350HP. So, 330-350 plus 20 means the new tune should float around 350-370HP at the crank. BMW is awfully close to M3 numbers...

Looks nice, but at that price why not just pay 7K more and go for a proper M3.

Extra radiator, more powerful fan, bigger air intakes... Is all that needed for a power increase of only 18Ps?? Either BMW is playing extremely safe, or the N54 has overheating issues IMO

amazingly good looking car but too pricy. M3 with few options would be a better purchase. However, I must say it looks as good as S5

ok. I am a Mercedes FANATIC but this car is... wow. Id buy one... easily. and yes it's close to the M3... but I like it ALOT better, the M3 is kind of... uhm... cliche? it's not the right word, but it's the first one to come to mind.
