Default New BMW engine for 3 / 5 series!

Just been reading that in September BMW will launch 335d and 535d models. Despite the 35 marking the engine is in fact still a 3000 turbo-diesel, but with huge strenghtening and boost upping it will now have 200kw (272hp!) and 560nm of torque!!!

Considering how well a current 330d shifts (205hp, 400nm or thereabouts), these new '35s must be ..... !!!

Mmmm, a 335 with the optional sports / handling pack, big touring car wheels, maybe a brakes upgrade, .....

Boost upping isn't the answer, I think 2 turbo's are...

No 335d announced yet, but the 535d is definitely on its way.
