But pushing hard the 330i was WAY faster than the 330d thru gears.
0-100kmh(62mph) is 6,1 sec for the E90 330i. 15,1s for 100mph.(160kmh) That's 535d territory or even faster.
From 0-200kmh the 330i is 2 seconds faster than the 535d 
330d will be a great car though, but at the end horsepower wins, If applied correctly. |
Yeah that's true, but you forgot that the 535d comes with automatic only, and it's much heavier than 330i, due to bigger car and heavier engine. The real comparsion should be made when the 335d comes and hopefully with manual six speed transmission. I think that the clear winner will be 335d.
