Are you the guy with the leggy 530d who got it remapped and a week later it blew the box or something and you were going to try to sue the remapper?

Yeah, and it was a good 10 months later, not a week.

I have noticed most mappers just crank up the power, looking at the newer cars too, 535d is running close to the limits as it is, anyone remapping it will take it byond the limit.

What company tuned yours, what was the outcome with the box then?


SO back on topic.

A 535d is quicker than a manual 530d.

Jesus man, must you ALWAYS talk about your car.

Kidding. :-)

Yes, I would have thought a 535d would be quicker than a 530d manual. Thats certainly what it says in all the literature.

I don't want to say, but they are very popular on bmw forums. Whoever does it they will still crank up the power without a care.

Cant see a test for a manual 530d, but if you look at the sport auto etc tests here:

http://www.einszweidrei.de/bmw/list.htm

An auto 530i is a fraction quicker than the auto 535d they have tested, though that was the old engine. A manual 530i would therefore be quicker than the current 535d. But of course that's not popular in these parts, where all the x35ds are quicker than M5s...

Ys a 530i will be quicker than an early 535d 0-60, but not 0-100.

Look at the stats, the auto 530i is quicker to 180kph, which is the last increment the diesels can do for some reason. Just like with the 3s, the petrols gain more the faster they go.

By your own admission, were we not talking about the 530d not the 530i so whats the relevance?

Also who said a standard x35d is quicker than an m5? Do you have that link handy or did you just make that up to try and bait people?

thats strange that, 530i 0-100 is well into the 17 seconds.

The 535d does 0-100 in 14.7 seconds.

Totally agree with you.

I got myself a new 335d because of the hype about the Bm super diesel thing,sold it after a few months.....cracking piece of diesel engineering but has no soul and no fun to driving it . N/A petrol now thats different

[dxb335d]

I have loads of fun in my 335d. Before anyone pipes up. Ive driven loads of decent petrol motors.

[dxb335d]

Yes i agree Turbocharged motors can feel artificial, but i do love forced induction personally (Turbo over supercharhing). My other car is a turbo petrol. I do like high reving N/A motors although get annoyed with the lack of bottom end. This is why i like the 335d. Its shove is immense and is easy to hustle along very quickly. For sure a CSL would be a more satisfying B road blaster.

I find a V10 M5 and a M3 CSL or E92 to be just larger more powerful vtec type engines. Not much happens downthe bottom but comes alive after 5-6k.

A 5.7 litre chevy V8 has lots of bottom end, but does not really rev past 6k.

Ive yet to drive the Current E92 M3, although will drive one soon. The CSL i drove was all top end. The Audi R8, which i think will relate very closely to the M3's V8 was better but still lacking in bottom end. But makes up for it with whats its go up top. A great fun car to thrash for sure. Only ever driven a 911 Turbo, which was VERY torquey. I still need to try a N/A Gt series.

Interesting list of performance figures.

The 0-60km/h are both 6.8 seconds but the 0-160kmh times are.....

535dA

0 - 160 km/h 16,2 s


530iA (270ps version)

0 - 160 km/h 16,0 s



I really do love the new 3.0i engine in the 3 series, with a manual box. Fantastic consumption, quick enough everyday and really fun to drive.

STrange its like that with the 5 series.

With the 3 series the 35d car is considerbaly faster to 100mph.

[gizlaroc]

I'm not sure it is Carlos, you keep saying it is but I have not seen any times yet for the 330i (270ps version) yeah the older 330i was a good couple of seconds behind but this new one is alot quicker.

In fact this is the first figures I have seen for any car using the new engine.
