BMW 335xi Coupe will be an all-wheel-drive

We have just learned that BMW are to launch an all-wheel-drive 335xi Coupe, and should be with us half way through 2008. Although this news is not huge news, you must remember that this is the first time all four wheels have been used to power a 3-Series coupe; this vehicle will now be in direct competition with the Audi A5 Quattro coupe.

The BMW 335xi Coupe will have a serious amount of power under the hood with an inline-six twin-turbo that pushes out 300hp, what this relates to is a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds, if you have the automatic version then the 0-60 time will be 5.3 seconds. Although the new BMW is much heavier than a standard 3-Series, having all four-wheels working more than makes up for the extra weight.

We believe that the starting price for the BMW 335xi Coupe is $42,600.
