330d - 255bhp - 0-62 6.1 sec
335d - 306bhp - 0-62 5.9 sec

I believe the 335d has 288 bhp?
The 335i has 306bhp?

I think we are talking diesel.

I also think Parkers list the E90 330d as 6.7 or so to 60.

You're right about the bhp, I've been back to Parkers
330d - 255bhp - 0-62 6.1 sec
335d - 281bhp - 0-62 5.9 sec

335i - 301bhp - 0-62 5.5 sec - not much in it really

Speaking of, WTF happened on the A3 this morning?! I passed a seemingly undamaged old Micra at the side of the RSCHospital exit Northbound in the traffic from the Shogun Sport crash at Guildford Business Park on my way to New Malden around 8am, on my way back about an hour-and-a-half later, there were a few Fire appliances returning to base, the Micra was empty and was now a convertible, a few people lifting the remains of the roof back onto it.

There is always a crash at the cathedral turning, no idea how.

Always.

I reckon it's the road surface and idiots too close together.

Couldn't possibly comment as to whether it was a case of "whipcash" and maybe the fire brigade decided to call their bluff

I bloody knew it! That was my suggestion as to the traffic at work. Assumed someone had given them the lightest bump in traffic from the Shogun smash and they'd cried wolf on neck pains.

Brilliant.

Pretty much par for the course now in most cases, meaning many incidents are a total waste of resources.

Exactly, a simple whipcash claim, with a cheap car repair, has now become a written off car = even bigger claim.
Really is time this was stopped

These people usually drive stty cars, thus st write off value. Cheaper for the insurer.
