Carl, why don't you and your Dad get a B3 instead????????? (I don't think they cost too much more than a fully loaded 335d, do they???) Then, along with the performance you crave, you'll have an awesome noise as well! Then everyones a winner! |

O-60 in under 5 sec seems too fast to me

Carlos, you can`t really compare the power of a B3 to a mapped 335d as the B3 will blitz 60 in 2nd gear, correct me if I`m wrong but I think even with the extended rev range of the 335d it still needs 3rd to pass 60 ? and the extra torque doesn`t help traction either.
I rekon my heavy, flexi `vert would still beat the 335d (mapped or not ) For the record `tho I have timed my DMS 325d MANUAL at 5.9 0-60 with a G tech pro. |

The 325d was running at 234 according to a rolling road.
I`ve chased a few M3`s as well Carl and thought they were only a few car lengths quicker from 80-140. However after now driving an M3 properly, from 80-140 in 5th I`d say its a little quicker than my 325d. In 4th it would comfprtably pull away. If I dropped to 3rd and hammered it past 100 then changed up and continued to floor it in 4th my E90 would be way, way behind. Honestly Carl and I`m someone who`s always said a mapped 335d would be quicker than a CSL. |

A M3 coupe is slighlty faster than a remapped 335D to a ton. A CSL would spank it IMO. CSL seems to be faster than the new RS4 . And if you got to the twisties you woundn't see which way it went.

EVO got 6.1 secs from a DMS tuned one. So the overall reduction vs the stock time was 15.3% The official time for the e90 335d is 6.2 secs. If we assume that DMS can produce proportionately similar reductions you would see a remapped 335d managing 5.25 secs I don't believe that the benefits would be entirely proportional as the quicker you get the harder it is to shave off time. I think a repeatable performance for a remapped 335d would be around 5.3 secs. Don't forget that any drag strip or other measured times have to be normalised for wind speed and altitude, to be comparable and evidence real ability. |

I know ive said this before but a had a straight line race with my pals CSL and it is not faster in a straight line.........however when we got the the twisties my car nose heavy and the car understeers like mad at any decent speed, the CSL stayed flat and precise, it was lovely to see:rocks:

I test drove a CSL and my friend who came with me said the 335d felt quicker?!
i felt that also, definately thru 40-120 anyhow, doesnt mean it is but felt like it!! i was expecting the CSL to feel absolutely rampant but no... shame really i think re-mapped one would not have much trouble with a csl Carl

At the end of the day there both very quick cars and each has its own traits. The diesel feels very quick because you get that instant mid range shunt and it really does pin you back in the seat. The M3 needs more winding up but when you do its completely bonkers and feels as though its never going to run out of revs.

ive driven a CSL and one word can describe the whole experiance IMMENSE The whole conept, from the lack of electric seats, the fact there propa kevlar bucket seats to the motorsport inspired carbon fibre door cards and roof and other lightening measures like the ''card'' boot:rocks: the sound is awesome the way it just revs and revs... for me it is the M3 to OWN.. not a general standard one!! this car should have been ''THE M3'' but i do feel it could have beeen so much quicker. Mid-range the 335d as stock would prob be with it.. but as you and other have said.. real-world situations it comes to whose got the ''bigger bollox'' or who is just plain DAFT but man situations i come across in day to day driving require some heavy acceleration and 0-62 times are applicable here, several times ive come out of a bend and out accelerated and overtook subsequently, type-r's, cooper-s' and with the 335d cleary being a quicker car to 62 let alone 100mph i pulled away clearly.. like when i was behind a e39 m5, he could not drop me for love nor money, came to some bends still together out of the bend onto a straight i was still pushing him along behind a e60 m5 it was a very very different kettle of fish that thing left me standing so in real world situations, acceleration is just as an important factor (if you drive fast that is) as having ''big bollox'' just look at the audi r8.. im very sure it would out handle an m5 touring quite easily, but the m5 touring is quicker than audis flagship model when rolling, whether be slip road, motorway or off a roundabout just shows you how powerful the m5 is.. just puts the m5 vs rs4 into perspective... the rs4 would get cained by a e60 m5!!! Carlos

The better measure here would be in gear acceleration which is generally stronger for diesels. Given that the type r and cooper s are both considerably slower than my 330i I'm not surprised you overtook some. Plus they were probably being driven by people with common sense. |
