The E92 335i is powered by the N54 twin-turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder inline engine delivering 306 hp. The E46 M3 is powered by the 3.2 liter S54 M-tuned engine. At the time of the car’s introduction, this engine had the highest specific output naturally aspirated of any engine ever made by BMW (except in the McLaren F1), producing 343 horsepower and 365 Nm (269 lb-ft). e92-335i-e46-m3
