R8 V12 TDI has a MT; Why no MT 335d?

My dealer says no manual 335D because there isn't a strong enough gearbox available, so they are all singing off the same hymn sheet.
Anyway, I'll make do with a manual 330D, just can't wait! |

It is from a standstill... but once on the move there's really nothing in it. However, accelerating through a corner, or going round a roundabout, I'd WHIP Carlos' butt... You'll LOSE buddy...!!!!!

In a 'drag' race from a rolling start the 335d will be able to keep up with a 335i, but that's just one situation. Therefore Carlos Fandangos statement that there is FA in it is B*LLOCKs |

I think that would be very interesting. In the meantime, as Lloyd Grossman said in 'through the keyhole':
Quote:
335i - 5.5 secs 335d - 6.1 secs 1/4 mile time The attached screenshot from drag times shows the infamous Carlos Fandango 335d run .. and quite a number of faster times for stock 335i's. Last edited by NFS; 01-15-2008 at 12:14 PM.. |

everyday driving vs 0-60 or 1/4 mile.
That's the difference. If every traffic light was a staging light the i would win everytime. HOWEVER real life isn't like that and I think that's where the D advocates are coming from.... having followed the big D's i agree - not a lot in it. The D also has an advantage in being easier to tune to stage 1 in the UK. the 335i being a little more tricky SJ |

At least the 335i drivers actually have to choose when, and then physically swap cogs themselves. Bit of skill there - and chances to shave fractions of seconds off your run. But even if a 335i could get to the 1/4 twice as quickly as a 335D it would mean nothing to me as I pootle to and fro from work ... surfing on my torque curve D.

At the end of the day If i don't find a donar diff, I'll just have to stump up the full price to kevin, adds quite a bit, but that's tough I guess. SJ By the way have you checked that other BMW loom / harness plugs don't match or is that connector UNIQUE to the 335i ? |

NFS, LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE
the 335D IS CAPABLE OF A MID 13 STOCK!!! also most of those ARE USA CARS RUNNING DRAG RADIALS. there is also alot more 335i being timed. I know i can live with a 335i all day long, (unless its SJ's) so NFS. Give up and get one. the 335i tho for you.
