All 2008 BMW 335i sedans came with only dual turbo charged engines right? I had a lady tell me today that they only put twin turbos on select models. I think that’s false. Thoughts?

What did you do with my post? What does towed mean? I just need this question answered.
It was towed to the model specific sub-forum (this place) which deals with questions/discussions that focus on the model you asked about. It's the place where you are much more likely to get an answer vs the General BMW Discussion sub-forum which is a more generic (General) area and not intended for discussions about any specific model of BMW.

Got it. I’m sorry about that. I’m new to forums. Could you perhaps answer my question?
No problem. We were all new to forums at some point. About your question: honestly, I have no idea. I'd suggest using the SEARCH option on this forum.
Best of luck.

Yes she is wrong. You could search what the different 3 series trims were for that specific year and it will tell you also.

My friend just had a single turbo installed with the special header, it's interesting mod, shop who install it did a crappy job for moving the expansion tank and other things like take, plus the turbo is almost right up on the hood, the hood needs to be modified and vented
Simple answer: All 335 models are turbocharged. Earlier models were twin turbo. Later models were a single turbo. Somewhere around 2009 was the change from the N54 (twin turbo) to the N55 (single turbo).

Are you gonna eat that?
All E90 335 N54 engines do in fact come with a twin turbo set up. Never have seen a single.
Do not consider one unless you enjoy even more oil leaks than the N52 and twin turbo means twin problems. It is proven that these motors are notorious for issues related to turbos.
Shame though, they are really impressive in their power and response.
You're mistaken on one account. N54's have the exact same oil leaks as an N52. Both engines leak from the valve cover. Both leak from the oil pan (eventually). And both leak from the oil filter housing gaskets. There is nothing additional that the N54 has over the N52.
I do agree that N54 engines are typically more costly to maintain, being direct injected, turbo'd, etc. But strictly speaking of oil leaks, they are no different.
