deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 Very interesting side by side vs a 335d and 335i - not a nell of alot in it all in all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrad01 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 Both are bloody good fun. I owned a 335i and have had days in the 335d. No doubt that the 335d is astonishing - but when it comes to all out *fun* and throttle response - the petrol still has the edge. If you are in to fuel economy AND speed - the 335d is kick ass! The one thing the diesel doesn't get anywhere near is exhaust note. The diesel is boring - but hey, can't complain when 580 torques are pushing you around!

Nope, I have 600 of them myself and even though it's some 500kg more it's still a good drive. I'm kinda considering a 3 series diesel. Can't afford a 335d but looking at perhaps a new 320d or late model 330d. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While not in 335d territory, it would probably still be a blast! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 320d is still a lot of fun. Used one in the BMW Driver Training at Puke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 Would love a 335d estate. They had one in at Team McMillan a few months back in Motorsport form. Black too. Mmmm. Same tourqe and KW as my 540. Was $114k though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted August 17, 2010 I read somewhere that the new 320d did UK to Munich and back on one tank or about 1000 miles now that's what i call economy!
