Here's the first shot of the 2011 BMW 335is with the 322HP, 332lb-ft of torque (369lb-ft briefly with a neat-o overboost function) twin-turbo inline-six from the 335i. Why's there an M3 again?

What do you do when you're the former king of sports sedans but suddenly find yourself playing second fiddle to the upstart 2010 Audi S4? You tweak the boost a little and call it the 2011 BMW 335is.

The 2011 BMW 3 Series will be facelifted, not overhauled, but amid the usual upgrades will be something we're excited about: a more potent Sub-M3 iS sport model similar to the Z4 sDrive35is.
