The 330D doesn't feel as fast because peak torque is greater in the 335D That's all we feel as humans. Yes, the pure timing figures are in the 30D's favour but that's just gearing. The 35D always had more area under the curve and that's what makes a car feel quick ... but only just

I know what you mean about torque; my 135i never felt as fast as my old 335d (original slower one) I guess for that reason! But with such a small difference in torque, and a faster 0-60 (at least 0.5sec quicker than my 335d), I was expecting it to still feel at least as quick as the 335d

E90 335d 580Nm (427 lbs-ft) 1750-2250 rpm .... difference of 500 F30 330d 560Nm (413 lbs-ft) 2000-2750 rpm .... difference of 750 No idea what that means in the real world... It appears the 335d only has 14 lbs-ft more - now that aint a lot. Also looks like the 330d should feel as quick as it holds on to its torque for longer - but it does come at later revs?

The 35D just comes in harder and faster. That's what you "feel" And in "normal" driving, there is more area under the curve for the 35D. You don't need graphs for that, the figures tell you what you need to know.

The 335D with it's twin turbo rules in the upper rev range. I suspect the 8speed F30 box keeps the 330D in the frame. I am very very interested in a Turbo re-build nice machined compressor (slightly bigger of course), inconel exhaust wheel. .....that will extend the torque curve in the upper range |
