I had a 335d for a loaner yesterday and I could not believe the torque that thing had. Kinda sucks that its an auto because if you got caught it the wrong gear, it was a little sluggish. Once it found the sweet spot though, hold on to your socks! The pull was noticeably stronger than my 335i. I'd say BMW is pretty dumb to not put a 6 speed manual behind the turbo diesel. Plenty of people on this forum have already proved the trans can handle the torque.
