Well, it finally looks like it's going to happen, BMW is finally bringing some of their wonderful diesel engined cars to the U.S.A. (the 335d being one of the first). Personally, I can't wait.  http://bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Uniquely/FutureTechnologies/EfficientDynamics- /AdvancedDiesel.aspx Thoughts? Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 31, 2008 8:33 am) Now, five model years into the E60, I'm still not at all sold on its looks, and even a 3.5 liter diesel under the hood can only dull the looks so much. Best Regards, Shipo |

The 335d offers 328i performance at a 5-series price. All to get an extra 2 MPG? Plus the 328i weighs less and has a much higher rev limit (sportier and more fun to drive). I don't get it - am I missing something? |

Replying to: shipo (Jan 31, 2008 7:10 pm) I would also expect the diesel to be heavier due to added weight of engine and associated components and additional pollution "stuff". Now hopefully it will come in an xi version. :tongue

Replying to: shipo (Jan 31, 2008 7:10 pm) 325i SE/330i SE - 39.8/39.2 MPG (imperial); 0-62 in 6.7/6.1 secs Average (328i) - 39.5 MPG (32.9 MPG US); 0-62 in 6.4 secs 335d SE - 42.2 MPG (35.1 MPG US); 0-62 in 6.2 secs 335d SE - £33,610 335i SE - £31,550 So according to the BMW UK website, compared to the 328i, the 335d is 0.2 seconds quicker to 62 MPH and gets 2.2 MPG better economy. The 335d is also £2,000 more expensive than the 335i. Oh yeah, the 335d weighs 300 lbs more than the 328i. Sure, the low-end torque and mid-range grunt is a plus, but it's at the expense of a free-revving, high RPM gas engine that, in my opinion, is what makes a BMW so much fun to drive. Unless my facts are wrong (and I admit we don't know how much it will cost here), it looks like the 335d is an overweight, overpriced pig.

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 31, 2008 8:01 pm) And for an apples to apples reference, this from the BMW UK website: 330d SE - £30,285; 46.3 MPG (38.5 MPG US); 0-62 MPH in 6.7 secs |
