BMW 3-litre diesel Three-Series gets a new engine

Electronic rather than mechanical upgrades are at the heart of the 3-series facelift, but there’s one engine that has been subjected to a good going-over – the 3-litre diesel.

The straight-six unit retains the same swept volume, but the iron block has given way to all-aluminium construction (saving 5kg overall), and the latest, third-generation common-rail system has been adopted. These, together with myriad minor alterations, have boosted power and torque by 13bhp and 15lb ft respectively, while stretching 49.6 miles from a gallon of fuel.

I think this most certainly is the 3-series to have...

Re: EVO Car Reviews: BMW 330D

A very desirable car indeed. Love the new look of the 3er. Prior to that the regular 3er looked a bit bland, but that hood bulge and the new bumper add some excitement to the design.
