I've had a 335i Coupe for about a year and a half now and it's a fantastic car. I've also driven the 135i and I think it's also a fantastic car, that's even more fun to drive than my 335i. This probably isn't a popular opinion on this board, however, but I'm salivating over the prospect of the rumored twin turbo four-cylinder engine in a lighter 1-series as part of the next generation 1-Series.:thumbup:

It's called a MINI Coopers S, and it's already here.

MINI is only single-turbo and FWD - not what people here are quite looking for, perhaps... :smile:

No, I'm not. I know they're not the same thing. That's why I specifically said twin-scroll, and not 'twin turbo'. It still greatly reduces the turbo lag.

I hear ya. I'm trading mine in on Monday, but mine's the old supercharged powerplant, not the Turbo. I drove a few different turbo models on different occasions - very different feeling.
