The videos don't surprise me one bit .... my Edition 30 DSG with Bluefin felt far quicker than the stock 335d I drove before buying my 330d. 

I should never have sold the Edition 30  :sad:

Couldn't find one with super low mileage when I looked ... but saw loads after I bought my 330d :(   I do love the 330d though .... not the quickest in the range but still 6 to 60 ... and surprises loads of people  :laugh:

Did you get that mapped mate, or leave it stock?

Edition 30 was stage 1 but the 330d is standard ...

The 330d I have is an LCI (facelift) 2010 model so with the newer 245bhp engine which can't be mapped via the OBD port.  Given that and the warranty I doubt I will map it.  The performance as standard has surprised everyone who has come out in it ... the LCI version I have seems to me noticeably quicker than the previous version 330d which I had driven  :smiley:

Even the old 330d's use to shift on, so no doubt the LCI one will go even better.. BMW have really worked wonders with their new engines. Better economy + better performance + less tax/CO2 =  :smiley:
Shame about the OBD though. My 135i is the same, but I had the ECU out sharpish..  :wink: :driver:

Got to agree, those 330d do shift, defo have one as my family car. What the 135 like after a map? That must fly!

The ECU will need to be removed on that 330d S08 its an EDC17 tricore unit but its very straightforward and safe, easily returned to stock as well, for more info on the EDC17 tricore and how its tuned look here (video now added to show the process in detail)

I fancy one of these as my next car.....there is one near me (can't get the exact link but this is the stealer).

http://www.killermontmotorcompany.co.uk/

£16495, 07 plate 44k miles, sounds good though I did go to see it and to be honest something about it just said WRAGGED...can't quite explain it, it just kind of screamed at me...unloved and hastily prepared.

Pretty sure there are excellent examples out there, may have to be a coupe for me though....

Black 335d?

Looks a bit, well, you know... I'm guessing the wheels are reps too? Nah.
Sideways yo!

997 C2S
Won't your 335d be quicker? I know my ed30 keeps up with these 997s! Although I'd love a C2S in a heart beat!!

Haha, maybe, but any idiot can drive a 335D quickly. As I've proved, I've had two........boring as he'll though.

Love my C2S.
