BMW has announced it will offer an all-wheel drive option for the 3-series coupe, the 335xi. An all-wheel drive option has been available on the 3-series sedan for some time now, but this marks the first time the option will be available on the coupe. Power remains unchanged at 300 horsepower from the twin-turbo straight six.
Thanks to the added traction, the 335xi is actually faster than its rear-wheel drive counterpart to 60 by about a tenth of a second. The xDrive AWD system also allows variable distribution of drive forces between the front and rear wheels, depending on wheel slippage. The 335xi coupe will hit showrooms in the first half of next year.
