if torque was an issue then why not get a bare bones brand new 335i?

 

Because we arent douchebags lol

 

I'm curious, which NA V6 produces the most torque (at least rpm)? I think this is one of the advantages of diesel, monstrous low end torque which you can feel and enjoy every day.

 

Take my 7500rpm horsepower away and give me 1500rpm torque! My car never sees 7500rpms anyway. If it was not for the crazy MPG killing gearing in our cars, they would never be anywhere close to fast.

 

yah i think the torque should be close to the hp ratings. whats the use of a lot of horsepower if u cant turn the wheels fast enough?

but the G feels plenty torquey to me, maybe b/c my last ride has only 170 lbs/ft (acura tsx). the 135i's low end grunt must be nice...

 

I just wish the car would push out more tq that it already has, at lower RPM.

 

nothing two extra cylinders couldn't handle!

That's one thing I miss about my mustang. The Mustang GT had 20 less HP but 70more ft. lbs of torque and as such it was very fun to drive. It's hard to beat that seat of the pants feeling you get from a high tq. vehicle.

 

The way the G is set up, it's meant to be reved & pushed. Unfortunately, in todays traffic, that's not always possible. That's not to say more torque wouldn't be welcomed, but what did we expect with a bump in displacement of .2 L.

 

I truly agree with having torque in the lower rpms. Nevertheless, the G is the best bang for the buck in it's class.

I think adding DI on the 3.7 would also have a better flow of torque, what do you guys think?

 

That is something you'll see in the next gen. 350HP with 300lb/ft, still with 3.7L. Woot.

 

400lb/ft TOARK!!!!!

 

WOW! Those are pretty good gains by just adding DI!

 

Where'd you get those numbers from?

 

hell no.. it's all about HP

 

All in my head
