The god of all engines? 335d

[kissmyrs]

Picked up a 335d M Sport Coupe a few days ago, what a bloody great engine.

Seriously goes like stink and returns good MPG!

The powers just always there, apart from like the second delay you get from all diesel engine cars, soon as you put your fun down bam, it goes.

I can see why it won engine of the year!

Got a fully loaded one, has all the decent options, if anyone knows someone that wants one, its on sale. I'll get some decent pics of it 2morw.

[The Boosh!]

Straight swap for a RB 182?

 

[.GAZ.]

That good your punting it already lol!

Tis nice tho!

 

[Christopher]

They are impressive. Not the most fun thing to drive though, although ours is a Touring. lol

 

[daydotz]

Very smart if it's that good why are you selling it so soon

 

[Englebert]

Surprised you can be arsed with swapping your plate to every new car!

 

[the_prophet]

plus the fee everytime. would do my head in.

 

[R20 CWH]

DMS remap = hi to 345bhp. Cant believe the price of these now. Seen an 07 regger last week for under 20k, ok it was the saloon, but decent barge.

 

[kissmyrs]

Very smart if it's that good why are you selling it so soon

I sell cars for a living!

 

[ForceIndia]

Meh, diesel. Quick, but no enjoyment in it for me. Can see the appeal on that type of car though.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I know there great cars they really are but i honestly dont really bother with BMW's unless there M powered*

*Not a debadged 318i with M sill plates, those are stupid

 

[Seedy172]

Why is everyone going sensible all of a sudden? As the bear said, Diesel is a bit, meh... but nice motor all the same.

My 335d M Sport Coupe

Took some pictures of it today, here they are.

Awesome car, the engine is really special, with a remap these things would be lethal!

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

I really like these. Get it mapped, you know it makes sense.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Looks like a cracking motor!

Bet it's pricey as well!

 

[Curtis!]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Nice car,

You do just stick your Shofi plate on though yeah? I know you aren't stupid enought to pay £80 quid every time a car passes through don't I?

 

[.GAZ.]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

As much as i'd love a *35d Beemer, it would be the 5 series version for me!

Cant help thinking the boot needs a lip spoiler of some sort!

 

[Prong]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Looks awesome. Bet it goes like stink.

 

[Just Plain Yates]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Very nice. It looks very sharp and fresh. I like the ipod/iphone holder!

 

[MikeB]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

love these, theres a black petrol one near my house looks insane!

 

[Gaz.]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Coupe looks so much better than the saloon. Really like it.

 

[kissmyrs]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

It definatly moves, had a go with my mates CLS55 AMG the other night and upto 100, nothing in it, after that he only creeps ahead slightly. Its insane how quickly you get to silly speeds!

Nice car,

Yea plate only goes on for photos etc really.

It could do with a lip spoiler, deffo needs something on the back!

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Should have bought an M3

Nice, don't think I've seen a red one before..

 

[.GAZ.]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Its for sale, £25k'ish!

 

[Ian_182]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Very nice cars.Decent spec on that one by the looks too.

You have to get it mapped

 

[Magic Johnson]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

There's a dark grey 335i just round the corner from me, got a Ring sticker on the back of it too. Awesome, awesome car.

 

[kissmyrs]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

Should have bought an M3

Nice, don't think I've seen a red one before..

I'd buy one if i can get one at a good enough price with a decent margin in it for me.

 

[Waitey]

Re: My 335d M Sport Coupe

I like them apart from the looks and the interior. The engine and chassis are epic though. Our accountant has a mapped one.

 

[Ian_182]

Unless people have driven one i dont think you can say its not fun.Way faster than clios and quicker on a track.
My father in law had a standard 535D and that was very quick.

 

[Ali]

Very nice.

Doesn't mean its fun.

 

[Ian_182]

They are limited to 155mph,surely thats fun.
You can also have some fun driving a 535d so im sure the 335d is even better.

Each to there own though...

I have, thanks. As I said, they are fast. Very. But it's a boring engine imo. The limited power range, the noise, it's all dull for me. And the 335 is hardly economical, get the petrol!

 

[ForceIndia]

They are limited to 155mph,surely thats fun.

I genuinely have no idea what that means?

 

[kissmyrs]

My mates got a Petrol, i find it far worse to drive!

Its economical, i'm averaging 25mpg around town, with a heavy right foot.

'Fun' is usually a perceptive thing, whats fun to you is different to someone else.

 

[Justin]

I agree with Warren. Just because it gets to 155mph doesn't mean its fun. Sure its a good car, but its not exactly a 'toy'

I'd pick the diesel over the petrol

 

[Alan]

Oh Juzzy...you've changed LOL

V10 to a derv..

 

[Justin]

Oh don't you worry.. I'll be back in a slitwagon next year

When buying a 3 series, the twin turbo'd diesel is the only way to go!

 

[Alan]

So so true...the rangey is still a slit magnet anyway tho you are techincally 'kep in' for the rest of your life mind..LOL
