BMW’s little roadster moves into 2014 unchanged, the lineup consisting of sDrive 28i, sDrive 35i, and sDrive 35is models.
28i trim uses a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder making 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, which can be matched with a choice of eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmissions. In the 35i trim, motivation comes from a 3.0L turbocharged inline six-cylinder (300 hp/300 lb-ft) that’s available with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, or a six-speed manual. Finally, the 35is model gets an uprated version of the 3.0L turbo rated for 335 hp and 332 lb-ft, and it’s offered only with the seven-speed automatic.
