I went to Santa Pod at the weekend in my ''mapped'' 335d LOL

Well I for one think that those times are very impressive.
I would consider an E92 M3 to be a very quick car in the real world. For a diesel version to post similar times over a standing quarter, which I'd argue is not where it will be at its strongest, is very, very impressive.
I can only imagine how that must feel on the road.
Obviously the original poster has rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way, an a lot of people have seen fit to include "335 (mapped)" in almost evry post they make, but I think those vids show a very quick car.
Yes I know we can all give examples of quicker, but if I understand correctly, its a standard car with a remap. and a lot of "performance" cars would struggle to put in 13.3s.
It's horses for courses, but it would make me wonder wether an M3 was as capable for an average driver in real world give and take traffic.
thankyou, and on the road it does pull away from cars like the e46 m3.I would consider an E92 M3 to be a very quick car in the real world. For a diesel version to post similar times over a standing quarter, which I'd argue is not where it will be at its strongest, is very, very impressive.

Good on you dxb335d for properly enjoying your car, and a big thumbs up for posting the Santa Pod vids.
And a big thumbs down to all the guys giving dxb335d such a hard time, some rather nasty comments have been made.
Perhaps they know deep down the mapped 335d is superior to their own cars? The ladies protest too much ; )
I am a long time petrol only fan, but this anti-mapped 335d backlash is perversely increasing their appeal to me. I have previously driven an unmapped 535d which I wasn't that impressed by, but now I'm going to arrange a drive of a mapped 335d.
Hi mate, where are you located?And a big thumbs down to all the guys giving dxb335d such a hard time, some rather nasty comments have been made.

No one else cares to post positive things. I mean diesels have come along way. Surely this is postive people.

Not really faster than the VXR8 though is it? At the same point in distance he was travelling fater than you?
Ergo from a rolling start he would gallop ahead? Most situations on the road call for accleration when already rolling....
Further point...below 100 you need a lot of bhp to open up a gap, eg, My Monaro VXR is not massively quicker than an e46 330 in th3 30-100 range and at the same time only a bit slower than an RS6 in the same range.
PPs- in a RWD 560bhp leaviathan whats going to most affect a launch? Traction. Monaros and VXR8s are notorious for having crap traction. Have you seen how narrow our rear tyres are? Add in MONUMENTAL low down torque and pants TC and you have your wheel spinning answer.

Don't think that's the problem tbh. I for one know that a standard 335d is quicker than my car. More expensive and probably better put together as well.I also know that a Faberge Egg is better than the free-range ones I have in my fridge. What I don't want is to be constantly told that on a forum that I quite enjoy reading through.
Yes I know I could just ignore these threads but I can't help it. I'm drawn to them, like a fly to s

Yes i do, spoke to him in length before and after the run. He is a nice chap who is on here, and rekons my car is fast.
I dont want to sound rude, but despite your protests, that statement completley highlights your inferiority complex. Dude, please, lets have no more of this deplorable claptrap.
The point is that, at the end of the day this is little more than any of 10s of thousands of 3 litre BMW diesels on the road. It's faster than some other cars, slower than others. It's a run of the mill BMW 3 litre diesel.
Nothing special.
Really, nothing special.
One day, DXB335d, you're going to wake up and see how sad you've been over the past weeks.

but to be fair his car is faster than mine. He set a tenth quicker at the end of the day and 2mph faster. over 120 he would leave me standing. Still i was happy with my result
