How much power or what mods does the 335d have?

[mybizuk]

345 approx.. Not been dyno'd recently. An ECU re-map!

@kay19833 where the fuck do you get 6.7 seconds for the diesel? 335d stock you are looking at 5.9 seconds. more to the point, 0-60 counts for shit as the diesel is slower due to the heavier diesel engine block. past 60mph the 335d especially when mapped will shit on the petrol any day of the week. 335d has been proved to be a monster when mapped on a number of reports. read them and inform yourself a little more

For people questioning the 335d, please see 'fuel for thought' article which compares both stock and tuned 335i and 335d cars.

Search google for 'evolve fuel for thought' that will answer any doubters!!!

@linn1000 a guy like you is walking around with a dick size of peanut,and thats for real,335d is stronger than 335i? you need to go see the comparison made by germans on both cars,the 335i smacks that ass on a straight and in circuit,and handles better and the sound and the electric responsiveness can't just be thrown away for a lazy heavy and dirty diesel, blah!!

[kay19833]

@mybizuk what exactly are you trying to tell us by the video? that a 335d is faster than a 335i? you can go convince a 16yr old with that not grown ups,we've seen the comparison of both cars on various videos from the makers in munich germany and is clear the shitty diesel does 0-100 in 6,7secs while the pertol does it in 5,6 thats way faster,plus they both have turbos,so how the fuck am i supposed to believe this propaganda video of yours?

@peaps BMW has said that they don't manufacture a MT that can handle the torque that the d puts down, and given the rev range, if one is being honest, you really wouldn't want to drive this car in a MT.

[BigUriel]

Read what I wrote again and if it still does't make sense just google "how transmissions work" or "transmissions for dummies" or something.

[peaps]

@BigUriel I dont get what you're saying? The D surely has more torque because it's peak torque figure is 580NM, 180 higher than the I. ?

[peaps]

@Aligher1 I was wondering why you can't get manual 335Ds. Is that it then, just cos the torque is so high? Any other reasons?

@philyfree

Probably regular automatic gearbox, and the 335d has "SMG 2" I suppose.
