I don't get you guys. What's with all the hate about a potential M5-inspired diesel? Don't you realize that the technology is changing and we should all embrace it? I've got a E60 M5 at the moment and my brother's driving a F10 535d. And guess what? I'd take the 535d over my M5 any day of the week. The fuel consumption is awesome and there's plenty of power and torque. I can't imagine what kind of beast would a M550dX turn out to be. Let's just say I won't be going after the F10 M5 right away - I'm probably waiting for the diesel version. And since I live in the Northern Europe, I would die for a xDrive version of the M5 / M550d. There's A LOT of snow during the winters and I'm just plain-stuck with ma M5 constantly. I do have special winter tires as of last year, but it's still not good. Not good at all. Having an xDrive would also mean I could have more fun (faster corners, etc).
Now let's get back to the whole ''diesel sucks'' issue. I bet all of the morons saying that were the same morons yelling ''fu*k automatic transmission.'' Remember that, huh?! You were all saying ''no man drive an automatic car'' and ''manual is the way to go''. I guess you were wrong - automatic transmission turned out to be way faster (not to say more comfortable for everyday use). In 5 years, you will be overwhelmed by the diesel-powered engines. And I will be there to remind you ''I told you so!!''. |

The last time I lined up with a guy driving a Z4M Roadster, he thought he would easily walk away from my 335d sedan. We took off and he chirped his tires, frantically revving his engine through the gears, as the 335d effortlessly pulled away from him, riding the huge tidal wave of torque. With a simple JBD module, I have achieved high 12 second qtr mile times, and 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. With this simple 10 minute modification, this car will easily out accelerate any stock petrol 335i. Look how effortlessly the car accelerates from 0-40mph in one big surge. You are doing the speed limit in the city almost instantly. And this is with a 2nd gear launch! Drove 52miles to LAX this weekend. With 4 people in the car and the A/C running, got 47mpg. On the way back with some stop and go traffic, I still averaged 45mpg. Is there any other 3800LB+ car made that can get 45mpg and run 12 second qtr mile times??? Any car?? Thats how significant diesel performance can be..

BMW. sadly that car is limited and basically a marketing loss leader. I could live with the suv's and heavy executive cruisers if they also made light drivers' cars. I am cowering to see what the new 3 Series will weigh... |

When I got my first 07 335i, I still had my 06 M3. The M3 sounded/felt faster. With the engine winding to 8000rpm, and the smg slamming you in the back (set at the hardest shift mode), I was sure I did a quicker run in the M3. Suprisingly though, when I lined them up or instrumented them, they were dead even in the qtr mile. With the 335i the easier one to launch with all the torque (even without the LSD). The 335i was so effortless with smooth shifts, etc. Even mildly tuned, the 335i would walk away from my 06 M3. If the M3 were the faster car, I would have preferred to drive it instead. But since the 335i was the more powerful car, thats the car I preferred. Plus it gets better hwy mpg. I am just more interested in driving the car that IS faster, not the one the SEEMS faster. Thats just my priorities. Less "show" and more "go" any day for me. The 335d takes that driving experience even one step further in the effortless speed direction.

What's even more sad is, people are actually buying them and they're selling in better numbers than BMW anticipated. It's even more sad that so many people buy the M3 with a sun roof over the carbon fiber roof. .

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Giving the reason for attaching M to a certain car, they can always say that the tuning of the engine has been done by the division that is called "Motorsport". Even if the "Motorsport" division would be totally clueless of how to push >500 hp from a small 3-liter diesel engine... |
