I don't usually self promote, but I had to make an exception for this as this car blew me away!

Looking at doing a feature on it this summer.

I only thought it was WelshBeef who thought that an x35d was a junior super car? hehe

I'm sure it's quick (be great for towing!) just not a fan of diesels.

409 hp and 654 ft lbs torque is pretty impressive in an E87. It must be silly to drive and not taking anything away from how impressive the build is, but I can't help but think I'd prefer a non-tuned V8 or V10 lump in there to tick the screaming-motor-thrills box.

Neither was I, my 335d has completely vanquished any negative thoughts and has quite frankly made me question everything in regards to performance cars!

These are not your typical diesels and give you the same... if not more of a kick than similar petrol powered machines.

everything?

What was the answer to the question about aural pleasure?

I don't doubt the performance but personally I couldn't live with a car I desire that sounds like a taxi!

AND their emissions are killing everyone apparently wink

Sorry but I didn't feel that way about the 335 I ran about in. I was glad to get back to petrol.

Understandable if you got back into a M3 or 911.
But coming from a S3/Golf R myself, I find it brilliant.

35i >35d by a long long way. Diesels are for taxis and commercial vehicles.
