I think the website did say it is an AWD but after reading it entire it is only standard on the 2 wheel drive as a twin turbo
...I have owned bimmers for years and they do not need constant repair. That was the Jaguar brand.lol..

BMW's are generally decent as far as maint. however the first twin turbo production BMW is asking for bad news, i'd wait till atleast the 3rd year of production

Twin turbos wont necessarily make more power....they will just make the boost curve alot flatter.....in otherwords, the twin turbos are designed to eliminate turbo lag.

the turbos are not the same size on the 335

Very few cars run a sequential TT setup

will the awd turbo reshape the **** on that bimmer civic? I love when certain sides of cars get neglected in the design process. Or in the case of teh dodge caliber, the whole car. Seriously though, those 3 series tailights have got to go.
wow the front mount looks tiny...interesting, is this the first Non NA BMW? Or has there been other in the past? definitely weird looking car, I'd much rather get an IS or LGT
The interior looks pretty nice, and it sounds pretty mean...
