Hi guys, is there been any roadtest or any info regarding this awsome coupe?
I've only one link to provide you with, and that's in Norvegian, but there's plenty of pics there.

In short terms, this is what they said about the 335i:
The results of this engine, exceeds our expectations, it's a master piece, and it's the best of two worlds, the sound of a i6 and the torque of a diesel (306hk/400Nm)
And those 400Nm are between 1.300 til 5.000 Rpm.
And the best is, no turbo lag...

The test crew, didn't find any weak spots, and was very impressed with this car.
Btw, in norway, this is the base price: 771.000.- Nkr, that's, 96.000.- that's Euro...

It's not brilliant, but here's the link to Channel4.coms test drive of the new 335i Coupe.

Interesting comment on the 335i

"That said, this engine isn't as ferocious as the figures might suggest: it's very swift as opposed to oh-my-god punchy. In fact, first acquaintance with BMW's fantastic 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel will leave most people short of breathless superlatives while the 335i is very impressive but nothing more."

Is the turbo referred to the 231bhp engine (due for the UK market) promised for September production ?

Pic 3 shows a car with automatic transmission, pic 11 with manual.
What transmission was used for this roadtest?

I think I might be able to settle for something that's merely "impressive."

They tested both, and they was impressed with these as well, the streptonic, shiftet gear 40% faster than others, and the manual had an excellent handling to it.
