German Muscle vs. Japanese Hustle (335i vs IS350)

[_Christian_]

BMW could fit a 330 hp I6 in the e46 chassis but no way they could have done it to the E92? You are a moron. Do you think they put that motor in there because they had to? What a douch bag.

BMW knows how to make some kick ass NA engines. 5 years ago they had an NA I6 with 330hp and now they have a relatively small V8 that makes 440hp. Now they make one FI engine they put in a non-M car that makes 300hp and all the rice lovers flame on BMW. Fuck 'em, BMW did it because they are in the business of making cars that are a complete blast to drive. Toyota is in the business of making grocery getters and a few luxury cars. They havent made a true sports car in a while. BMW has never quit making cars that have cult followings, cars that people dream about, cars that are desired and hated on for the same reasons. Look at the BMW fleet and look at Toyota's fleet, then you can see what both companies are about.

+2. BMW has proven itself with powerful n/a motors. They could have easily made it n/a. This argument is retarded. Funny how people who would suck a 2jz's dick, hate the bmw for being a twin turbo.

I actually think its odd/neat in a way. Some would never think Bmw would go to FI as a means of power. I mean look at Acura putting out its first turbocharged suv, when their company lineup consists of mainly N/A motors.

It outruns/out performs/out handles the Porsche Cayenne Turbo

No, i don't think the Dealership or owner would trust me in one of those . I heard the X5 does pack a punch, although I wouldn't classify a suv in a sports type category.
