BMW 335i Coupé 2007

BMW 335i Coupé 2007 - En fait, je trouve qu'il y a beaucoup de ressemblances entre les coupés de Séries 3 et 6 et ça me plait. Les deux illustrent le nouveau vocabulaire de design de BMW grâce à des lignes de toit profilées et des physiques athlétiques, sans parler des lignes saillantes sur les flancs et le coffre.

Ajoutez à cela un poids brut de 1620 kg (3571 lb) et vous avez tous les ingrédients d'un bolide sport hautement équilibré. Bien sûr, il ne faut pas oublier la puissance: 300 chevaux et 300 lb-pi de couple, le tout contrôlé par une boîte à six rapports.

BMW affirme que la 335i accélère de 0 à 100 km/h en 5,3 secondes, mais des tests indépendants ont prouvé qu'elle pouvait le faire en seulement 4,9 secondes. Impressionnant! En tout cas, peu importe si on attend à un feu rouge ou si on roule sur l'autoroute, dès qu'on enfonce la pédale d'accélérateur, la voiture explose littéralement vers l'avant.

Les accélérations sont solides et soutenues. Rappelons que le moteur haute performance n'affiche qu'une cylindrée de 3,0 litres. Compact et léger, en partie grâce à son bloc en aluminium, il est donc raisonnablement économique. Combien de moteurs aussi puissants sont capables de consommer seulement 12,3 L/100 km en ville et 8,1 L/100 km sur l'autoroute?

Pour ajouter à son charme, le moteur produit un son d'échappement à basses fréquences, digne d'une turbine, et ce, à toutes les plages de régime. La motorisation dans son ensemble est plus sophistiquée et raffinée que James Bond. La manipulation du levier de vitesses est un pur plaisir; les passages sont rapides, précis et convaincants... à condition d'avoir une main ferme.

La pédale d'embrayage légère et progressive vient agrémenter la conduite agressive. Si la boîte manuelle ne vous intéresse pas, sachez que BMW offre une transmission automatique à six rapports avec mode manuel Steptronic comportant des palettes au volant.

Le contrôle n'est jamais compromis, même dans les situations les plus urgentes. En fait, je dirais que le seul problème des freins est leur hyper sensibilité. Il faut s'y habituer au début pour maîtriser parfaitement les freinages. La stabilité exemplaire dont fait preuve la 335i lors des freinages est également observée dans les virages.

Les pneus incroyablement larges à profil bas (225/40/R18 à l'avant et 225/35/R18 à l'arrière) sont aussi dignes de mention. Malheureusement, le roulement est dur, ce qui fait que sur les routes endommagées, il est important de tenir fermement le volant avec nos deux mains. Le manque de flanc des pneus et les réglages sport de la suspension en sont grandement responsables.

La 335i n'est pas une M3, mais ce n'est pas une Série 8 non plus. En ce qui me concerne, je sacrifierais un peu de maniabilité pour bénéficier d'un plus grand confort de roulement. Est-ce que les futurs propriétaires de la 335i Coupé seront d'accord avec moi ou me traiteront-ils plutôt de pépère qui devrait conduire une Buick? Ça reste à voir.

Je me demande si mon collègue de travail, qui envisage de s'en procurer une l'année prochaine à sa retraite, trouvera la conduite plaisante ou s'il optera tout de suite pour un fauteuil roulant.

Je continue de croire qu'il représente davantage l'acheteur type de la 335i que les jeunes maniaques de performance, qui souvent n'ont pas les moyens de payer une telle facture (54,400$ pour mon modèle d'essai) ou qui exigent un minimum de quatre portes pour accommoder leur famille.

Une chose est sûre: les sièges sports optionnels offrent un support et un confort fantastiques, ce qui permettra sans doute à Ted de reporter l'achat d'un fauteuil roulant.

Malgré ses six cylindres, ce dernier est capable d'anéantir des V8 et de déchirer des pneus, surtout quand le Contrôle Dynamique de la Stabilité est désactivé. La voiture accélère avec vigueur sans perdre le souffle et sans produire des élans saccadés.

On peut remercier pour ça les deux petits turbocompresseurs, qui travaillent mieux ensemble qu'un seul et plus gros turbocompresseur. La pression se développe instantanément, ce qui fait que le moteur ne manque jamais d'énergie. En fait, le seul qui a le souffle court, c'est le conducteur surexcité.
