Bruno enjoys going to the beach during his spare time. He also dreams of travelling the world someday, " I desire one day I could travel around the world, see how the outside looks like and how the other people live. I strongly believe that my life would be less meaningful if I never know new people, new culture."

BMW 3 Series Coupe – BMW 335i
The new E92 3-series coupe has a very elegant shape. The coupe roofline has a very elegant curve to it, which makes the car look longer than how it’s predecessor, the E46 Coupe looked. It’s also longer than the E90 BMW 3-series sedan, which is 4520mm long. The new BMW 3-series Coupe is 4600mm long, which is about 80mm longer. The body has a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution and the engine drives the rear wheels, except for the 328xi which is equipped with an all-wheel drive system called BMW xDrive. The new 3-series coupe body also uses plastics in certain areas like the front wing, which makes the new 3-series coupe on average 10kg lighter than equivalent sedan models.
BMW also introduces a new 335i model with the new E92 3-series coupe. The 335i is powered by a 3.0 liter in-line 6 cylinder twin-turbocharged engine. The engine is also equipped with BMW’s direct injection system using electric piezo injectors. This new 335i engine makes 306hp and torque figures are a massive 400Nm of torque available from as low as 1300rpm all the way up to 5000rpm, from where the maximum torque dips until it reaches it’s redline of 7000rpm. The engine’s torque curve sounds REALLY sweet. Would love to drive one. I previously mentioned the engine will have it’s two turbos in sequential form, so I apologize for the mis-information. The twin-turbo system is actually in-line, with a turbo being fed by 3 cylinders each. Two smaller turbos alllow a much faster spooling time than 1 big turbo. The usage of forced induction allows this new 335i engine to make as much power as a normally aspirated V8 engine of a higher displacement, but weighs 70kg lighter. The engine was designed to compete against competition like the Lexus IS350 and Infiniti’s 3.5 liter offerings, as well as be a bridge between the current 3.0 liter normally aspirated engine and the 4.0 liter V8 engine to be offered with the BMW M3. This engine gives the BMW 335i Coupe a 0-100km/h speed of 5.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 240km/h.
Above: Top – The new 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged 335i engine. Below – The 335i’s turbo manifold. Three cylinders feed each turbo with exhaust gas, spooling them up to create boost.
The new BMW 3-series Coupe will be introduced with 328i, 328xi, and the 335i in the US market, while the UK market will get the 325i and the 335i. Entry-level 320i Coupe and 320d turbodiesel Coupe as well as 330i and 330d turbodiesel models will be introduced later, so for now the entry-level 3-series Coupe will be the 325i. The US market BMW 3-series coupe will come with either a 6-speed close ratio manual gearbox or an automatic gearbox. The automatic gearbox option will come with paddle-shifters behind the steering wheel whenever the driver wants to have more involvement in the transmission’s selection of gear ratios.

Audi RS 4 Review
Much like the difference between a merely competent steed and the legendary Seabiscuit, theres quick and then theres quick. If youre a driver looking for breathtaking performance in an ultra-performance sport sedan, then theres little need to look further than the Audi RS4. Gobbling distance with ruthless speed and efficiency, the RS4 is endowed with all the traits that leave enthusiasts salivating like babies.
Other German manufacturers have performed like straight-A students in this segment, but the RS4 indicates that Audi did its homework. Ridiculously powerful engine? Check. The RS4 sedan came ready for the smackdown thanks to a V8 that, with more than 400 horsepower, offered more muscle than a WWE cage match — just what youd expect from a car in this rarefied class. Superior ride and handling? Check. Audis runner even managed to best the rear-wheel-drive competition by a nose thanks to its all-wheel-drive system. And the RS4s extraordinarily supportive seats meant your back wouldnt ever beg you to plead "time out" from all the festivities.
Downsides? The RS4s compact dimensions added welcome nimbleness, but they also resulted in rear seats that were somewhat on the cramped side. And then there was its rarity, as it was sold for just two years. With patience, though, one will certainly be able to find a used model. Price? Well, its expensive. But dont let that stop you. Retirement plan, schmetirement plan. An object of desire if ever there was one, the Audi RS4 is the type of sport sedan that puts the fun in reckless spending.
Most Recent Audi RS4
The Audi RS4 sport sedan was sold in North America for the 2007 and 08 model years and was a product of Quattro GmbH, Audis performance division. (Theres some inherent confusion here, as Audi brands its all-wheel-drive system "Quattro" as well.) Essentially, the RS4 was an amplified version of the S4 sedan, itself already a performance variant of the third-generation Audi A4 sold from 2006-08. Highlights included a higher-output V8, specific suspension tuning with Dynamic Ride Control, modified all-wheel-drive components, more powerful brakes, special 19-inch wheels and high-performance tires. Identifying the RS4 was more aggressive exterior styling, including flared fenders and a unique rear deck lid spoiler. Overall, this super sport sedan had a look that said "performance" without shouting it.The RS4 came in just one well-equipped trim level. Heated leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and bi-HID headlights all make an appearance on its standard features list. Motivating the Audi RS4 was a high-performance 4.2-liter V8 good for 420 hp and 317 pound-feet of torque; the engine offered 80 more horsepower than youd find in the S4. Only one transmission was offered: a six-speed manual. Audis Quattro all-wheel-drive system made sure the wheels never broke their kiss with the road.
This Audis cabin placed an emphasis on clean lines. Though there was the requisite supple leather, plushness wasnt the focus; rather, the cars interior championed a pared-down aesthetic that favored sleekness over opulence. The RS4s sport seats looked good and felt good, offering bolstering that cradled you in the corners without ever being too overwhelming. There was ample room for those in front, but rear seat passengers typically found their accommodations a bit cramped.
But of course, this sport sedan was all about performance. At its debut, the Audi RS4 seemed to have a couple of strikes against it. Weighing in at about 4,000 pounds, it was one of the more porcine players in the class. And its design placed the V8 engine heavily over its front axle, compromising steering feel and weight distribution. But somehow the RS4 managed to transcend all this the way a Teflon politician transcends a scandal.
Certainly helping matters was the Dynamic Ride Control system. DRC linked the diagonally opposite front and rear dampers with a gas-charged reservoir to allow more compliance when front and rear dampers were compressed at the same time, ensuring a comfortable highway ride with minimal compromise during performance driving.
In reviews, we found that the RS4s handling was near perfect, with the sort of steely composure that remains undaunted no matter what. Acceleration was explosive, shifts were quick and a broad torque band ensured that there was ample power underfoot for all situations. In testing, we measured a 0-60-mph time of just 4.3 seconds.
Past Audi RS4 Models
It should be noted that although the RS4 was new to the United States when it debuted, there was an older RS4 briefly sold in Europe. Sold for 2000 as an Avant wagon only, it came with a 375-hp, turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine.Thursday, May 23, 2013
