F30 330D small improvements on e90
Very good test on the 330d in estate guise in today's Autocar. Best in class conclusion (but we knew that ).
Out of interest I dug out the test of the e90 lci 330d test they ran back in 2008. Although the performance and economy are not as big a jump as previous inter generation improvements there are some gains - 30-70 through the gears e 5.4 secs f 5.1 secs 50-70 in optimum gear e 3.0 secs f 2.7 secs 70-90 in optimum gear e 4.4 secs f 4.3 secs 80-100 in optimum gear e 5.1 secs f 5.1 0-100 e 15.0 secs f 14.2 secs Brakes 60-0 e 2.51 secs f 2.62 secs Time round dry handling circuit e 17.9 secs f 17.7secs Overall test economy e 39.6 f 42.6 mpg |

Dont forget the F31 330d is 65kg (or 10 stone) heavier than an F30 330d so the track figures and performance figure could well be improved for a F30 330d. Drag is more too.

They're a great set of numbers. Reading the test of the e90 330d (same engine updated) Autocar were blown away by the performance / economy blend. Seems to be an established trend for BMW.

Found a few more figures...go to here and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click the "Clear All" button, then "335d coupe" button:
http://www.autozine.org/Archive/BMW/old/3er_E90.html 335d 0-60 5.9/5.8 0-100 13.8 Also the E90 LCI 330d for comparison: 0-60 6.0 0-100 15.0 Some on the F30: http://www.autozine.org/Archive/BMW/new/3er_F30.html 328i 0-60 5.4 to 5.8 0-100 14.1 to 14.9 335i still looks quick on paper.......... 335i 0-60 5.2/5.3 0-100 13 These tests DO highlight how much the timing gear/testers gives much different results. |
