I’ve had my 335d just over a year. It’s running a modest stage 1 (370/700nm) with a XHP gearbox stage 2 map. The car still takes me by surprise with how quick it is. You do get used to it, which is always the way. 3rd snd 5th are great gears. Dropping from 8th to 5th when doing 60 is nuts! What an engine!

Good vid. I had a bit of a race recently with a 2015 335d, which must have been remapped as I just couldn’t gain on it!! My M140i is still stock, so when I get the remap done it should be a bit of a monster! Anyone got the Superchips remap for the 140 yet? They’re claiming an extra 109hp.

I have a 335d F30LCI and it is a weapon off the line and a match for an M140i all day long which Ive proved many times. Driver needs to be on the ball and in the right gear as response isn't as good as petrol! Be even better if X-drive was selectable on the move. On for launch, off as soon as back wheels hitch up 100% would be mega. Also needs dropping at least 30mm, roll and ride isnt too bad on standard X-drive SE suspension, but it pitches too much during hard accel or breaking, far too much for me! My only complaint!

Once you hit around 4,000 RPM the Diesel you can feel the engine cutting off, you just wish the engine had more RPM to keep going, and that’s what the M140I has. Which is why in this race, the diesel was better initially due to all the torque and bhp coming early on, but with the M140I it required a bit more of a push to get the same peak performance. That being said, petrol engines usually have a lot less torque than the an M140I so I have seen stock 335D’s breeze past golf R’s etc.

I bought a 335D X Drive late last year, sure enough it was de-badged. I stuck the badges back on it but what a car it is. Never gets boring and only now after 9 months and around 24,000 miles the speed factor of how fast it pulls is starting to wear off, that said when you stick it into sports mode and put the gear selector into sport also it takes off like a rocket to the point where you get pushed back into your seat.

@@DownShiftThrottle sorry only seeing this now. In UK the 335d was only available in Xdrive and every car came with SE springs. If you check out Kies Motorsport channel where he lowers his Xdrive and changes the camber, he breaks the drive shaft twice (one after the other). He reckons its to do with transfer box and so my only thoughts would be that BMW didnt want to risk warranty etc and installed SE springs but I have heard some dealers were offering the Eibach option upon delivery.

@@jonaskristensen3066 There most definitely are a lot of very optimistic dynos out there. It comes down to customer demand people like it when their cars make spot on the official performance figures of even slightly better. One more reason why comparing figures across different dynos is pointless - even the same make and model of dyno in two different places can be calibrated differently. Dyno results are only worth anything when comparing two cars tested on the same exact dyno on the same day back to back, absolute figures are irrelevant they're only good for the relative comparison.

If you factor performance and running cost, the 35d wins because the b58 will only be marginally quicker but for how much more you have to spend fueling up your car all the time, its not worth the performance gain over the much cheaper to run diesel. If you want to factor fun and and overall driving experience then the b58 cars win because you cant beat the sound of a 6 cyl petrol engine revving up like how an engine should. Very hard decision to choose between the two tbh. If you barely do any miles a year perhaps the b58 car makes more sense otherwise you should probably get a 35d. I'm personally stuck between getting a 235i, 335d or 640d but can't make my mind up.

I had a race with a Audi RS4 (2021) the other day, with my 435D GC (2018) Stage 1, xHP Stage 3. From stand still up to 140 km/h (traffic) I was at least a car length quicker. I don't believe an S4 can outrun even a stock 435D. However, the difference between a stock 35d and Stage 1 (with xHP remap) is huge. It seems like the 435D owner was not into racing but just cruising along. When I do that I still get some GTi's, R32, AMG's and other stuf in all it's loudness beside me sometimes. They might think 'winning!', but I hardly touch the accelerator by one inch.

Tested a 330d and 335d (both F30) back to back and came away with the 330d. Just seemed much more exciting to drive mainly due to the single turbo so it gives a kick rather than the smooth power of the 335d but the 4wd on 335 just took away the driving pleasure for me. Had mine remapped and it will do the 1/4 mile in 13.3@106mph and will get 50mpg on a run. I think the 330d is the sweetspot of the range.

Excellent review, both cars have a lot of punch, as a former owner of 435d xdrive I did have some sprints with my brothers stock m3 non competion pack on the motorway, well within the speed limit lol, the m3 pulled away effortlessly in every gear. I initially thought that the higher torque will out do the bhp, sadly 35d engine runs out of steam at the higher revs.However xdrive does give you the confidence to plant your foot down in rain or shine, it seams like Bmw have listened to their customers, and are thinking of both rwd and xdrive options on the new M3, can't wait to try it out.
