Drove my buddy's tonight. RIDICULOUS amount of torque, like you could feel your neck getting sore from the forward launch!

Car had 1200 miles on it and just got a chip that boosts the HP by 60 and the torque by 100. MPG on the dash readout said lifetime of 24.7 MPG and that was a tough 1200 miles I'm sure. Car ran from 40 to 120 like nothing, cover the odometer and you would swear you are doing 60.

He previously had a twin turbo335i/6 speed and that also was chipped/lightly modded. Honestly the diesel was just as impressive as the gas model. I like BMW's and have had 2 M3s in the past but the new stuff is simply awesome.

the 3-D sounds neat....interesting to hear, the wife also had a twin turbo335i/6 speed
sport package, very zippy car...got rid of it last august, now we have a 650 sport, nice torque-y V8.
enjoying that for now.

would not mind a M3 next or a 550 sport.... in the fall

I was really impressed with a Mercedes bluetec diesel a buddy let me drive. This BMW sounds more impressive. Diesel is way more popular in Europe, because of the performance per gallon I think.

I had two bluetec MB's, granted they were in the GL body (big and heavy) but I would never say they were torquey, adequate but not real exciting.

This 335d simply pulled hard and the speedo backed up what your body was telling you!

Was a sedan I drove. I'm closet diesel fanatic. Have only diesel pickup tho. Just know that getting performance is as simple as a tune turning up the fuel and the turbo

I bought a 1986 BMW 524TD . A rare car in North America .
Almost 40 mpg and it would top 200kph .
My wife put 500K on that car . Not much off the line but what a great cruiser .
This new 335TD sounds great . Now if BMW would bring over a 5 series TD I think my wife would go for it .

MSRP is going to kill diesels for BMW.....the 335 is a great car but 51K MSRP is simply too much for a small car when Audi A3TDI is 15K less and much more versatile.

That same 51K would buy you an E350 Bluetec Mercedes which is a comparable car to the 5 series. If the 3d is 51K now, the 5d is going to be 60K++.
