335d is sweet! Got to drive one when training down at the Performance Center. 425 lb torque!

wtf they're using a proper sequential turbo setup and getting >6s 0-60 times? wtf... pretty decent gas mileage....I know diesel lasts forever and all but why would anyone ever pick the 335d over the 335i?

Mileage. You get more miles per gallon although Diesel cost/gallon is higher. Still works out better for dollars per mile. I like the 335i gasoline. Quiet and faster.

the 335d is pretty damned quiet if you ask me.

I heard one idling and it sounds nothing like the detroit diesels you think of.

If GM can quiet the Duramax so much it almost doesnt sound like a diesel, then imagine what BMW can do to it.

Def wont sound like them old mercedes lol


ANd with that torque, I will overtake you on the parkway without even having to downshift...the best thing about diesels is they accelerate faster in every gear, compared to a gasoline car....where in a gas car, 1st and 2nd gear are very quick...but then accelerating in 3rd and 4th is mediocre. Think about how you accelerate in 1st and 2nd at full throttle, then imagine that in ALL gears (Im talking stock, no Procede crap piggyback bs)
