BMW 335d: 3-Series gets twin turbodiesel power
BMW adds two 335 badges to it’s new E90/91/92 BMW 3-series arsenal in the form of the BMW 335i (read test drive report) and the BMW 335d. The twin-turbocharged diesel-powered BMW 335d joins it’s 197hp single turbo 3.0 diesel 325d and 228hp single turbo 3.0 diesel 330d siblings carrying the award-winning sequential twin turbocharged 3.0 liter diesel engine under it’s hood.
The 335d’s 3.0 liter twin-turbodiesel engine which made it’s debut in the BMW 5-Series makes 286 horsepower and comes with an astonishing torque chart. The plateau-like torque curve reads a maximum of 580Nm of torque from as low as 1,750rpm, with 95% of that amount available from low as 1,500rpm.
Thanks to the impressive performance figures, the E92 BMW 335d Coupe goes from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds, while the E90 sedan and E91 touring versions takes 6.2 and 6.3 seconds respectively.
