Unless, its HotCoupe's 335D (modded exhaust)....I can't see how a std 330D sounds better than a 335i.
The way the n54 delivers the power is one of its best attributes!...good torque at low revs to give you that "kick" and power throughout the rev range.....especially mid range....definitely the diesel will have more torque but sorry mate, 335i engine all day long over a 330D!!! ( I'm talking about engine performance and noise only....reliability is another topic!  )
330d quicker than 335i...   |
I don't even know who Justin Bieber is
And I'm talking about normal driving conditions. For 95% of driving, the 30D
does sound better and go better than the 35i. Between 1000 and 3000 rpm it has a nicer, more bassy rumble, more useable power and returns better mpg. I'm not denying that on full reheat the 35i is the nicer engine in every way but to enjoy what it does better than the 30D, you'd have to be getting less than 20mpg average and driving pretty hard. The 30D can do 20mpg at 155mph
