E90 330d 231bhp tank range - whats your best/average
Discussion
Auto 231 bhp 330d
Tried an economy 100miles today got the obc Reading 53mpg highly impressed then went a road blasting on the way home to avoid heavy traffic it's such a great car really is all the power you ever really need more would be great sure bur say 4th gear 35mph it just feeling flies your into the 100leptons in no time plus I really like the noise. I don't like 4bamger dagdags noise is not great so always turned up the radio but this one I really enjoy the noise.
Not yet done a tank non commuting I think I could get it up to 650-700milrs a tank on the long run- I've said it before and I'll say it again e90 330d best real world car performance blend with economy. 335d would be great but loss of economy would be a ball ache

Mines a manual which would explain the better mpg. I have had mine remapped which helps if your driving economically but then the opposite if you drive hard...
remap talk to me. Well tell me costs mpg benefit bhp upside downsides? And what about autos also if your on the BMW pcp scheme how does remapping work given unless you buy it at the end if I'd remap I assume handing back wouldn't be acceptable. Reallly loving mine we had quite a drive early doors this morning - 6.30am on a sat for a blast
There is no downside to a remap. The car drives like before just with everthing 15% better. Mine went from 232 bhp to 274bhp and 396lb ft to 455lb ft so was running well when i had it done. The change is fantastic and cost £300 to do and it's £30 to put back when you sell. 1 problem is BMW can tell if your car has had a remap so it can void your warranty but mine was 3 years old when I did it so no warranty anyway. One of my work colleagues has just remapped his 59 plate 330d so it's a personal choice about warranty.....

Yes cash buy so no worries there. If yours is owned outright then do it and it'll be the best £300 you've ever spent!
PCP on mine. What sort of difference does it make on the 0-100mph and the STD in gear increments plus I'm guessing it removes the limiter if so what is the new max speed?
I would say very comparable to a 335d, 12 less bhp but 26 more lbft. The power is a little less linear but when on boost there is no difference. As mine is manual it does give me a little advantage over the 335, weight and no torque converter but nothing really noticable in the real world.

I've just started running a 56 330d M-Sport saloon with 55k miles, an auto. I'm getting c470 miles to a tank (can't say I know what size the tank is, I'm assuming 65 litres?) This I'm happy with, after 22mpg from my XJR.
It's a good car, and after 4 years of Jaguars I'm well impressed and can see many more BMWs to come. The blend of eccomoy and performance, as previously mentioned is superb.
However, I find the throttle response a little slack, is this same with all e90's or have a got a little problem?

I would say the throttle response is the best for a diesel i've driven, but you do always get that pause with a diesel/turbo v's petrol na and auto can sometimes exasperate this.

Believe it or not but the 335d has better fuel economy than the 330d!
Agree, with the right map http://www.evo-s.co.uk/
the 330d turns into a faster car than a standard 335d - circa 290PS and 500lb/ft makes for a great drive!
