The BMW 335d Sequential Turbo engine is a masterpiece.

I revs to 5k without issue (unlike every other diesel car engine) and is fast as its petrol counterpart on the road (335i).

Midrange acceleration is outstanding. With sme tuning work the car is improved even more so.

I have a video of mine beating a M3 on the drag strip if anyone is interested.

Even without tuning it's awesome:



Mind you, that was my previous car, single turbo 530d...

Hi Tycoon,

Yes even in standard guise i agree 100% its a mightily impressive machine which can embarrass many ''Sports cars'' on the road.

Is yours still standard? Do you not fancy any tuning?

I am currently looking into aftermarket exhaust systems!
