BMW 3-series coupe-Canadian update

The new 2007 BMW 3 Series Coupé, bowing in Canada this fall, will be available with the company's first-ever, twin-turbocharged inline-six engine.

Two variants will be offered: the 328i and 335i.

The Coupé spelling (with the accent aigu) will be used up here, but Coupe will be the style in the U.S., a BMW Canada spokesperson says.

Only the 335i will feature the new aluminum-block, 3.0-litre twin-turbo six, rated at 300 hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque.

*The Spies sent a special shoutout to all our Canadian readers (A LOT!).

Even though we're in San Diego, our Buffalo/Montreal roots (001 is from Buffalo/Ms. 001 is from Montreal)have us glued to the tube catching up on all the Stanley Cup playoff games.

GO SABRES AND CANADIENS!!!!

OOH, AHH, SABRES ON THE WARPATH!
LES CANADIENS SONT LÀ!

BMW used to blow the M3 horn because they got more than 100 bhp per liter from a normally-aspirated engine. They told us normally-aspirated engines were better than blown engines, regardless of the induction method.

So why the turbo-charging?
