Even if he was waiting for the lights to change the 330i would have been off the line quickly.
The 335d isn't that quick to launch, especially if the torque convertor wasn't locked up. That's easily enough to equalise the 0-60 times compared to a well driven manual e46 330i |

The 335d, needs a brake boost for sure, but even without that it will go off the line immensely well considering full torque is achieved at 1700rpm.

i raced my friends e46 330i (230bhp) with my e93 330i (272bhp) from 0 and i more or less left him for dust past 60mph (was close to 60 though) so yours must be much quicker (especially since mine weighs 1750kg standard plus i had 2 people in the car).

Mate if he launched off without you suspecting he is gonna get a
good start and you will struggle to initially make ground as he has not only a time advantage but already covered ground and up on spee before you. I had similar with a 300HP VXR astra. I didn't know he was going to go. In end I couldn't pull past right away. Started making massive ground at 80mph though. When we had another go equally from standig start i killed it. Just like if your one was equal you would have mullered him quite comprehensively

Not something you would want to disclose on a public forum though.

i know this, but let's just say he was a mondeo, like the guy on the inside who shat his pants when we both took off, if he floored it, i could have got out checked the boot was shut, selected some random tune on the idrive, floored it and still got passed him before the other side of the lights which i'm sure you'll agree in a 335d you can do that alot, the point i guess i'm trying to make, is 'them old BM's still have a lot of go in em' which is a good thing, because i love BM's...everyone's a winner |

There is no proof he did it.
No issue. Could always be talking shit (not saying you are of course)

I don't know why that sparks a load of discussion about 0-100 times etc ... The e46 330i might be a few years old, but it's a torquey 3.0 litre straight six. BMW didn't make them for a laugh. They were the top of the 3'er range. |

I don't know what sparks 0-60 times and 0-100 times but 'pump and squirt' surely falls into that bracket.
All good fun. Roll on dry roads eh!! |
