Rare Find / Sleeper / BMW 335i, F30, 2015 Fan Car /Genting Hillclimb Pt 1/ YS Khong Driving
The F30 version of the BMW 335i was the successor to the E92 model with the same nameplate, and had a relatively short run of approximately 3 years, and there has been no replacement, although I do suspect the 340i was supposed to do the job.
This variant would probably end up being somewhat of a collectible since it had such a short run and likewise, it is quite rare in this country.
The original car had a base 305 PS 6-cylinder inline engine with a turbocharger, and there is great potential for tuning – but the standard version wields enough grunt for it to be fun.
For Malaysians, the 3.0 litre engine has ‘bearable’ road tax, so this is a good car to pick up, if you can find one. It’s a great ‘sleeper’ car, and can still yield reasonable fuel economy if you want to drive sedately. The 8-speed auto-transmission is not as sharp as a DCT, but nowadays, the auto transmissions are getting to be very good.
The particular test car is 6 years old, but was lovingly kept by its original owner until our co-host today, Soon King took over the ownership a while ago.
The engine has gone through a Stage 1 tune, so has approximately 350 horses and 500 Nm of torque. Brakes are M-Performance 4-pot.
