Anyway, remap the 335i and it's a different story...  And for me the petrol is easier to handle on a track as well, with the 335d the torque hits too suddenly and you lose traction (even with an LSD).

might be worth looking at these attached figures from performance car. I'd say the car's are pretty evenly matched & any differences are probably just down to where the car is changing gear.
They raced both tuned cars around the track & the diesel won & they were convinced that the 335i was faster which is what you are saying.
Don't really know how anyone can say one is faster either way.
