I wouldnt be so sure about that.
With regards to the figures I posted earlier in this thread that I copied from an old E90 brochure, I think there is a misprint and these should be
50 -75mph.
The reason being is that is on the next page in the brochure it says "50 to 75mph is equal to 80 to 120km/h" and refers back to the figures below. So I think they cocked up in the brochure. Also BMW
only refer to 50 - 75mph on their website as well as other PDF's I have.

Why do I mention this? Well take a look at the 50-75mph for an M3 coupe:
http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/pricesand...calSpec&isPGA=
50-75 in 4th: 4.9
So slower than an E90 330d like-for-like manual in 4th gear. Backs up what MaestroAl has been saying. Enough said.
Edit: in fact the data for the old 330d coupe is on the website:
http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/pricesand...calSpec&isPGA=
330d coupe 50-75 in 4th: 4.7 (coupe is usually a fraction quicker - but compares to the above M3 coupe
).
