F30 6 Cylinder Diesels - but no 330d?
There has been really no mention of a 6 cylinder diesel in the F30 as yet.......... but then I've come across this:
High-performance diesels will also feature 2.0-litre twin turbo versions with a 204 hp (152 kW; 207 PS) 323d, a 245 hp (183 kW; 248 PS) 325d and a 306 hp (228 kW; 310 PS) 335d 3.0-litre, inline 6 version from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_S..._2012.E2.80.93 So we appear to have a 323d, 325d and 335d but no 330d? Typical BMW buggering around with the model numbering yet again. Also that reads to me that the only 6 cylinder is the 335d. If this is the case, think I'd be very interested in a 335d though |

I can sort of see where they are going, maintaining the power levels but moving that into an (in theory) more economical 2.0l 4 cyl engine. Two problems with that, firstly, economy in my 123d was about the same as my 330d and secondly, the smooth delivery of a 6 cyl is far superior. The d3 bi-turbo is a great bit of kit, but very much a car for enthusiasts rather than mainstream buyers.

I would bet the N57 258PS engine is actually the same engine as the 245PS one but actually tweaked a bit. The older pre-LCI 231bhp engine isnt so efficient though. Edit: yes, it is all the same engine N57: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N57 Last edited by dopper99; 01-22-2012 at 11:07 AM.. |

Not so...the last 231 M47's all the efficient dynamics, so were only slightly behind (1-2 mpg) the new 245 N47
