Btw, AutoBild also reported few weeks ago Aston Martin was sold to LVMH Group.
The C400 performance numbers are odd.
Why?
A non AMG car below 4sec? C'mon!
And a C-class! A sedan! C'mon!
What then the AMG cars? Or even AMG coupes?
C'mon, SLR does in 3.8sec! So if C400 does 0-100kmh in 4sec. Will the C AMG do it below 4sec? Thats then in SLR range!!! C AMG in SLR range???

But V6 bi-turbo 4.0L 400+HP engine seems possible - but not to take on 335i, but as a substitute to 388HP V8 engine (eg. instead of CLK500).
It will be in a different price segment than 335i.

Regarding BMW N54 engine: why do you think BMW went turbo? Greater performance, less fuel consumption, lighter engine, and easier up-tuning. 306PS was a marketing decided output - this baby is capable of much more. And BMW is already technologically upgrading the engine - also due the stiff competition from Audi & MB. So expect BMW to boost N54 output soon.
