Surely a 325d LCI and 330ci cant keep up ?!?! Maybe they were mappd / chipped
Does a 335d really need Mapping to say ‘Buh Bye’ to the likes of LCI models and older gen e46 330ci’s etc? |
An older E46 330i should just about be able to stay with you. Considering they have 231bhp petrol engine (less faffing with gears), and weigh a good 160kg less than your car, you won't be saying "buh bye" to an E46 330i any time soon.
E46 330i = 155bhp/tonne
E92 335d = 171bhp/tonne
16bhp/tonne is very little and you'dneed monsterous amounts of power to leave someone behind completely, like i imagine you were expecting?
Don't forget, as cars get newer, their engines may churn out 15% more power, but then they always end up weighing 10% more than the previous model! The F30 i think has broken this mold a bit as it is very similar in weight to the E90.
