New 335iS now uses the N55 according the BMW's official website ?

They mention "TwinPower Turbo" and "Valvetronic" ! Ok, the TwinPower Turbo may be confusingly used, but Valvetronic ??? This means N55...

themyst · 11-22-2010, 05:13 PM

wow... wtf, those 335is's just got a bit less valuable if this is true.

tscdennab · 11-22-2010, 05:21 PM

Strange, the Valvetronic mention is also made for the Z4 35is...mistake ? Or have they switched everything on the N55 ? But no announcement ? Hmm...

Yeah. Sounds like a copy-paste-moronic error to me as well...

The web designers \ developers are not car engineers and neither are their managers who are usually creative artist types. So I wouldn't take anything as gospel truth. What its called or how its described is a minor enough issue I wouldn't start jumping for joy or throwing myself on the ground with anguish yet.

scott@bmwhn · 11-22-2010, 06:25 PM

sounds like typographical error to me...However, BMW is developing "Power kits" for the N55 so this may have some truth in the future.

roadkillrob · 11-22-2010, 06:53 PM

BMW's website has wrong things all the time, this is probably just another time!

Jesse@MBRP · 11-22-2010, 07:32 PM

I drove one before I bought my 11' 335i. It indeed had the same powerplant according to the sticker.

Yeah, but I've also been told that the 335i has an SMG tranny by the dealer...

No12c · 11-22-2010, 07:36 PM

It's had that misinformation for a while. Noticed it when I was shopping for my i/S. Bmwusa is filled with old and incorrect info

Mrbig · 11-22-2010, 10:15 PM

2011 335 is is a n54 motor guys for sure !!!

vase330 · 11-23-2010, 12:48 AM

Yeah that and the fact that it just came out barely a year ago. Probability of BMW changing the engine that fast is zero.

Aridk · 11-23-2010, 05:04 AM

It´s preparation for the M1 the n54 just became an M-motor

I was physically looking at the window sticker, not listening to the salesman.
