I would hope the press would like to get their hands on it being the fastest (0-60) 3 series diesel ever built so far.
Should be looking forward to a few reports/reviews on the 'net. |

Btw, read your post in the link above re: brakes - i really wouldn't worry about standard BMW or especially 330d brakes - they really are very very good 'road brakes', with great feel and feedback. The same cannot be said, say for a fast Audi's. The next upgrade the e90 guys would do, is move to braded hoses and uprated Brake fluid. The hardcore track guys never rated the BMW performace kit, and then moved to Brembo's

The 335D was announced as being cancelled earlier this year and BMW never mentioned a 340D so there's n reason to believe there ever would be one. It would be M3 quick as well so they could never sell it

There is a f30 335i, so there will defo be a 313bhp 35d (335d or 340d). M3s are in the 4s to 60s, so the 335d will still be slower at 5s Even the new 5er has the new 313 bhp 535d now....

OK so the fact that BMW announced in February that they were cancelling the F30 335D in favour of more hybrid models is irrelevant yeah?
I couildn't believe it either but it's not like they need one. The current 30D is faster than the old 35D in any situation anyway. And more economical.

Hi all,
I'm a new member here. Used to have a 3.0L Z4 which I sold in March, been driving a sensible car since then but got bored...... so I now have a 330D booked for delivery in 2 weeks!! I went for EBII, beige, xenons, burr walnut, HK sound, standard 18" rims and sun protection glass. Set myself a budget so didn't tick anything else. Can't wait!!!!!! |

The 335d - it's the performance diesel engine for BMW (eg 535d, 640d and at some point 335d). The current e9x335d is only 0.2s of a second quicker than then e9x 330d

Thanks. I placed the order through my work scheme in mid June. They use the Park Lane dealership in London for all orders. Apparently they are quite good when it comes to securing early build slots so the car is in the UK and scheduled for delivery on 7 September. I think it will be one of the first 330D's in the UK!
