The quintessential sports sedan is back - and better than ever. With a powerful 300 hp engine featuring a 5-link/5-beam rear suspension and increased passenger room, performance and luxury are perfectly blended in a more powerful, more agile sedan offering more safety and comfort features than ever before. Advanced Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and optional Active Steering help keep the driver in total control, while premium interior materials like leather, Poplar Natural wood trim or brushed Aluminum, create an alluring atmosphere to satisfy their senses.

Sounds good...I hope it comes in a manual.
An I liked it better when BMW named their cars for the engine displacement. 335 to me means a 3.5 liter engine. Why not just call it a 330t?

BMW's last 2 number indicate the engine power output level, not the displacement.
Mercedes does the same.
In Germany, they tax the car by horse power, not displacement.

BMW (as currently listed on BMW's website):
325: 184hp
328: 230hp
330: 225hp
335: 300hp
Mercedes:
E350: 268hp, 3.5 liter engine
E550: 382hp, 5.5 liter engine
E63 AMG: 507hp, 6.4 liter engine
not all of the models names follow the engine displacement, but the names definately do not indicate the horse power.

I said: "engine power output level", not output horsepower number.
2006 US-spec 325i and 330i both come with 3.0L engine, turned to produce 215HP and 255HP.
2005 Euro-spec C200K and C230K both come with 1.8L engine, turned to produce 165HP and 192HP.

When this BMW 3.0L make 215HP, the power output level comparable to other 2.5L engine, they call it 325i.
When this MB 1.8L make 192HP, the power output level comparable to other 2.3L engine, they call it C230K.
Engine power output level, not acual output horsepower number.
