I asked about this some time back and got "no" answer.
However A twin-turbo, 3.0L straight-six delivers 265 horsepower with 0-60 mph speed in 6.0 seconds and with 23 mpg (city) and 36 mpg (hwy) averages. Remember, it’s a diesel in my book that’s impressive and a very good reason to buy one. I would prefer a 5 series diesel but I'm giving the 335d some careful consideration.

Not owned but driven one and it was good experience. Same engine as X5 35d. You can do the JB tune as well.

Agree that there is torque/usable power in abundance in a diesel, and the green reasons to go there, but I would miss a petrol burner in a sports car....now, in the X5 that's a whole other story.
I drove a good few higher end TD's in Europe and I always missed that sports car 'feeling'. Definitely more useable torque lower at lower rpm in a diesel but I missed that rising bhp/rpm experience. Mebbe I need to give the 335d a test drive... Anyway, different strokes for different folks, and not to hikack the OP thread on a topic that has probbaly been flogged to death several times over.. |

A while ago my wife and I were discussing that someday it might be good to get a car that has great mileage. Neither one of us are fans of hybrids. We have become spoiled by owning BMWs and other very cool cars so giving up some of the dynamics, quickness, handling, interior quality etc. isn't very appealing. So, thinking of hi-line cars that have great mileage there are not a huge number to choose from. I'm a fan of diesels in certain applications but have never owned one. Doing a quick survey of what is out there I started to review/investigate the BMW 335d. Very good mileage numbers, it's a BMW with all the things we have become accustomed to and it looks great with the right sport options and wheels. I wouldn't be able to say an economy car as when optioned the way I like it is over 50k but it isn't like any other vehicle with 26/36 mpg out there that I've seen in my quicky survey. With the inherent push of the diesel torque way down in the rpm range it would be a very easy vehicle to get used to. Not in place of other sports cars we have but an excellent addition. |
