Awesome, congrats!

Nice combo, you guys in the UK get the M193 wheels as standard, right?

Will order my lemans 325d E91 in september for delivery in december.

The engine must be a blast, my dealer told me yesterday. Can't wait!

davinet78 · 08-01-2006, 04:30 AM

great car you wont regret it
i have the 320d and i love it
congratulations and dont forget to send us some pics when you get the car

Dev330 · 08-01-2006, 04:59 AM

Excellent combo choice, any idea of the engine output figures on the 325d?

timking85 · 08-01-2006, 05:02 AM

Cheers guys, and don't worry i will upload the pics when it arrives....

7.4 to 60mph and 146mph.... not bad at all, the 400nm ot torque is the must!!!

timking85 · 08-01-2006, 05:02 AM

Its got 197hp

Dev330 · 08-01-2006, 05:05 AM

sounds impressive

all the best, we'll be waiting for the pics

timking85 · 08-01-2006, 05:31 AM

And hopefully 44.1mpg combined!! according to BMW... so maybe 36-38mpg

Paul330d · 08-01-2006, 06:29 AM

Great choice, congrats! 400Nm might sound a lot now, but I bet you'll be wanting even more after a couple of months. A good remap should get you 500Nm, 225hp & 40+ mpg

timking85 · 08-01-2006, 06:53 AM

Your right, a quick remap to bring it inline with the 330d (as the same engine) and hey presto!!

Krill · 08-01-2006, 01:31 PM

Congrats!
An awesome car no doubt!

I´ve read that it´s only available with a manual tranny, is that true?

timking85 · 08-03-2006, 09:23 AM

That is true manual only... i prefer manual to be honest, but the 335d had to have a auto box! i can see why when you see the torque figures etc!

i think a 325d is a nice step after the 320d,my car is 196bhp and the new 325d with a remapp could be the right move anyone seen any good deals in the uk for this car with the m sport kit. tim what money is the 325d m sport i think i am gonna shop around thinking of getting one now,

The 325d M-sport saloon is up in the configurator on www.bmw.co.uk

timking85 · 08-04-2006, 07:11 AM

They are about 30k on the road, which is only 2.5k less than the 330d, so you might as well go for the 325d chip it and job done!

Do you know of anyone that can do it for cheap?

jjbirch · 08-04-2006, 12:55 PM

well superchips wont knock any money as they spend lot of money finding those horses out of your engine the cheapest one i could find was E-maps www.e-maps.co.uk but i used a local one guess you call it lazy i guess, but i have a warrrenty with it so i am safe then, £350 emaps

timking85 · 08-05-2006, 02:31 AM

Cheers for the update i will look into that, just got confirmation of my order arrives on the 26th of September!
