Oh right, So your very last car was 330d? E92? What is month/year of yours, and how much was she? Mileage owners?

The 335d is 'a bit quicker'. It doesn't 'destroy' other cars. It's not a transformer or anything. It's just a powerful diesel.
This was a real world situation and the observation made by the man who was actually there was: "Those old 330i's were quite nippy" And ... funnily enough ... he was right ... |

Whatever mate, If they had both gone together the 335d would have trounced it.

A 335i could be said to be a tiny '' bit quicker' than a 335d in standard trim
A 335i/d is more than that to a e46 330i

Mate, you are just a proper denzil hater.
E46 330i is no where near a E46 M3. A 335d in standard trim is just as quick as the M3.

So is the 335i as quick as an e46m3 then? What about a z4m (same engine / less weight)? |

Yes mate. There was countless videos and arguments when the 335i came out to whether its as quick as an E46 M3. General consensus is there near enough identical.

I have a Vid of me against a Seat Ibiza Cupra R if you want to see it. The Cupra in the video would muller the Mondy and Audi and beat 184 330D not, 230 one though!

I had an E46 330i touring for 5 years, (is that an e47?) and always thought it was a bit underwhelming actually. If you wrung it out in every gear it was quick, but a little flat in the midrange, say 2000 - 3500 rpm. Felt like another 50lb/ft in the midrange was needed.
