BMW 335D
« on: December 18, 2010, 09:13:09 pm »
So i drove a friends 335D last week (in texas before you ask about the snow!) and i was blown away!

Anyone else had any experience on this car?

For a diesel the pull was immense and speed overall. The auto gearbox was smooth but laggy in comparison
to the DSG but overall i was impressed.

Tempted to make it my next car in the summer....

Thoughts???

I own one (2008 msport) and absolutely love it. I mapped mine immediately (being an ecu technician) and it makes around 350bhp and 600ft/lb. Perfect family cars and returns 32mpg even when used hard. Will destroy many high performance cars in a staright line and if you can drive RWD properly they handle amazingly well.

You can pick up a cheap SE version for around 18k with basic spec or go for the proper Msport with every option for around 22k+

Keep thinking of what to get to replace it but until BMW bring out a new version of this engine I think I will be keeping it :smiley:

3.6 twin turbo diesel is roumored :drool:

But probably wont happen for a long time, i think it will remain 3.0 with a big power hike from standard, probably an original car producing around 350bhp.

Friend of mine bought 325D Performance and chip it to 250BHP. (is the same engine like 335D without 1 turbo charger, so has only 1)

I can say only that these car is amazing. Overall I missed DSG just everething alse is fantastic. Even fuell consumption. 30-40% less than my GTI and more power. I drove it more than 500milles and can say only that I wasnt so much suprised with a car for a long time. I have also 320D at home and is totally diferent if I compare it to 325 with all performance package.

Few pics:

They are very impressive stats wise and I've only heard good things from people who've driven all the straight 6 E90 range.

I dislike the BMW image and badge on principals but I keep finding myself being attracted to the 330D, which may be next on my list when I come looking for a Derv. Too many positives to ignore it.

335D get's the thumbs up from me really. I don't think Audi/VW have an engine that rivals it pound for pound and for the second hand prices they can be picked up for too. A5's are all still well over £22k for a 3.0TDi Quattro on basic spec.

Sorry for digging up an old thread but can anyone tell me what is the difference between the 325D, 330D and 335D? I know the 335D has twin turbo but that's all I know  :stupid:
