Yeah it's brilliant isn't it!!
I think that's largely down to the transmission and weight savings as you get the fabulous Sport Automatic Transmission (8AT) as standard whereas the E90 335d got the 6spd Steptronic, which was good... in its day... and its not its day anymore, but never a rival for the 6MT, unlike the 8AT!
Plus the F30 is lighter than the E90 and the 35d only had... what was it, 278ps? Not all that much more powerful and had the weight (negligible I know) of an extra turbo.
Imagine the latest 313hp 630NM 35d unit though!! That'll be getting close to sub 5 seconds!! Might be the one to get (if not the 30d) after my 328i. And hopefully it will have been LCI'd by then. I can't see any other BMW competitors on the horizon...
