What Changed

All 3-Series coupe (except M3) models wear a new hood, grille, side skirts, headlights and taillights. A new 335is model joins the lineup. The 335is features a more powerful twin-turbocharged inline six rated at 320-bhp and standard M-Sport trim upgrades. The 335is will offer an optional seven-speed dual clutch transmission. A new inline six-cylinder engine with a single turbocharger replaces last year's twin turbo engine on 335i models. The power and torque ratings are unchanged.
