E550 coupe
Leaving the grocery store tonight, I pulled out of the parking lot behind a black e550 coupe he turned onto the interstate and so did I. I don't know if he had some type of performance exaust but all of a sudden he gunned it, and I must tell you that car looked and sound ABOSOLUTLY AMAZING. All I could say in my car was DAMN THAT THING IS FAST. When I got home (so excited I left the groceries in the car
 ) I got on the Internet an researched the e550 coupe and I found out that thing is 382 hp and guess what it's naturally aspirated . I'm no thinking about getting one has anyone ever driven on are the fast, from the way that guy took off on the interstate I think it is. |

I had an '07 S550 with the same engine and it was pretty remarkable. I can only imagine in that smaller body how that car would fly. I do remember however, how much I missed BMW every time I got into the canyons.

The 382hp is the '10 and '11 models. For 2012 they changed the engine to a bi-turbo V8 that makes 402hp. I haven't driven the new engine, but my dad has a '11 e550 sedan and that NA 5.5L engine is really awesome. The coupe might be smaller, faster, and more agile, but it still won't handle like your 335i.
