Nipping around below 60 I don't think there's much in it, the 335d perhaps edged/felt like it edged it a bit; if flooring it it doesn't feel as fast though, it doesn't snap your head back like the 335d did. But, the figures put the 0-60 of the 330d as faster than my 335d which was pre-ED so was I think 6.1 secs to 60, vs 5.6 for the 335.
I think it's mainly just perception; I think if you put the 335d and the F30 330d side by side, there'd be absolutely nothing in it. But the lack of that initial pushing you back in your seat, due to the higher torque of the 335d, and the lower/wider rev range the peak torque is at, make you *think* it's slower! And I guess it's only that feeling, and how you feel about the car, that matters; but it's not night and day. The 330d is much faster than I was expecting, and I'm happy with it
