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 4 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 since it was only in 2012 that we saw it here, and the model was phased out in 2015.

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.
