Which GTi? Deisel or Petrol?

The BMW 335d is supposed to be good. How does a stage2+ ED30 KO4 compared to a mapped 335d? Will the ED30 keep up in performance?

Thing with a 335d is that it's a diesel. Therefore it is rubbish.

You clearly haven't driven one then!  They're stunning cars to drive and once remapped they're VERY, VERY fast. You'd hardly even notice they're a diesel they're so refined. I would have had one in a heartbeat, but the wife won't drive an auto (you can't get them in manual) hence I bought a 330i instead.

It's still a diesel... and I would know...


Compression ignition ftl. Give me a clean burning spark any day of the week.

I have - 335cd. Auto box was crap - over revved in sport and held the gears too long . Also still has the problem of a limited powerband which is why i sold my diesel and bought the gti.
