Hello,

Does anyone know the correct 0 - 60 for the re-mapped 335d and 335i................

?
Hi and welcome.

I dont anyone really cares any more bud. Besides I dont think any road testers could find a 335d owner willing to sacrifice the fuel economy.
Isn't it easier just to answer the question rather than trying to trigger another argument here.

No - because I dont know the answer. Plus, I found it funny.

Dinan do 382bhp iirc, with funky exhausts, on the 3.0tt petrol.

I doubt the diesel will get up there and drive nicely still.

Ergo, get the petrol. Diesel is for cheapskates smile

If they both drank fuel at same rate nobody would prefer the 335d over the 335i

If I were running a 300bhp+ tuned premium brand car, the mpg difference wouldn't even be on my radar to be honest. I'm surprised many people care. Co2 rating for co car tax fair do's, but mpg?
Maybe when these cars get older and are worth less, so fuel costs become relatively large, but when your loosing maybe £300 PCM in depreciation on the cheapest x35d/i out there, hmmmmm.

If you want speed, which I guess is important hence tuning them, and we assume you enjoy a good exhaust note etc, and maybe a manual box, the petrol is tons more sensible! All unless the £50 a month will break your budget, and if it does, IMHO, a 300bhp+ tuned premium brand car seems a bad idea full stop smile

Every 335d owner i know drives pretty hard. I know I aint bothered for MPG just MPH.

0-60 remapped for both is 5.0 or just under and 0-100mph both high 11's

LOL, petrol is for cars, fast cars! diesel is for trucks, and taxis. Petrol is faster every time! and sounds nice! Oh and diesel is dirty and polluting. Petrol every time, unless your a taxi driver or trucker tout-tout!!!

0-60 petrol manual 4.8, diesel 5.3, standard. Remapped petrol 3.6 to 3.8, diesel 4.0 plus, not much in it really. Depends on preference I love the noise the petrol makes but its 20 mpg versus 30.

hehe A remapped 335i might be capable of 0-60 in 3.8...........but only if pushed off a cliff.

Someone mentioned if fuel consumption was identical then the choice would be obvious.

How do? Everyone is different some may actually prefer the way a D delivers its performance over the i
3.6-3.8 seconds to 62 hmm I'm not sure about that.

It's not 20mpg for the 335i though.

Round town yes, but the so will the 335d

Average of 335i would be up late 20s and even in the low 30s.
When I got mine I got 29.1mpg driving home, including a 1hr jam on the M25.

Sod the diesel, just get the petrol one.

Standard 335i has enough shove to overtake 90% of other cars on the motorway and that's leaving it in 6th. If it's an auto and drops a cog or two you would have no issues( it has a flat torque "curve" from about 1300rpm anyway where it reaches max torque)




In answer to the other question.

I'm an E90 owner (335i) and binned the Rfts. Replacing them with normal tyres is by far the best thing you can do, The ride quality and feel improves massively.

I've owned 2 x 135i's and 1 x 335d Coupe.

335d = averaged 36mpg over 3 years
135i = averaged 25mpg over 2 years

135i was the N54 enginged car and remapped to 375bhp, 35d was stock

OBC, can't be arsed manually...

For sake of comparison the 135i Convertible with a remapped N54 gets 22mpg (OBC)
