The 335d can be tuned easy cos its Turbo Diesel. A chip is gonna bring up the power big time.

I rather the 335d, higher torque, far better mpg, what is not to like? This one is a keeper.

This review was a huge fail. You prefer the i over the d?

You should look for a new line of work because you suck at what you do.

@vido4x4 If ur going to use "has been known to" as a factor, I'll bet 335i "has been known to" be 30+. Gotta compare apples to apples. Use EPA numbers for both, or maybe Consumer Reports for both, since they have a separate highway rating based on highway-only driving that is always above EPA highway numbers. Same error by guy above, using his actual mpg in a CC but EPA number for comparison. Whether hybrids or diesels, its rare to break even in less than 100k miles over base car.

Yes, but for us "Stupid" Americans who drive 40k miles per year, we save - oh wait, instead of theoretical numbers, lets use my real numbers. My VW CC (27.56 calculated mpg), that I have had for 6 months has burned $2445 (768.96gal) of premium fuel. The 36mpg 335d would have burned $1935 (assuming diesel same price as premium), for a $509.59 saving in 6 months. = $1018/yr. It would take 5yrs to kick back $5000...

[vido4x4]

". . .Not going to save you much on your annual fuel bill."? What are these guys talking about? This car has been known to return 40+ mpg. Compare that over the 335i's 26 mpg highway.

This video is half assed and ignorant

lol he has 286 ps

[NoRotorNoMotor114]

Torque... is your friend. 

[mzb007]

typical americans, they cant realize that european diesel is the best, and will stay at the top for a long time. the us manufactures cant build the same engine, they cant make a car handle they the europeans because they make cars for comfort not speed or sport. its a shame though

Diesel cars are not about 0-60.. they are for 30-80 MPH which is the midrange thrust, which is what we all need for everyday driving. Come on convert to diesel for daily driver, and then you can have an M3 for the weekend.
