: : Hello Gents & ladies,

: : I've just picked up an official brochure from my BMW dealer in Amsterdam...

: : A new 330d will come in october, very good specis (I know you guys are not too keen on Turbo diesels in the states)

: : but the new engine (currently in the 730d) will have 193bhp and 410Nm at 1750 to 3500 rpm

: : one hell of a pull from 60-120 km p/h

: : ok anymore info from my dealer I'll post it

: : have a nice weekend

: : Owen

:
: Owen, is the 330d a Turbo Diesel or a direct injection diesel? I have read a little about it but dont remember it being a turbo. Can you check? To bad it probably will never come to the states ...

: Thanx for the info

: Rick Key


Hello Rick,

it's a common rail diesel....

yes it has a turbo on it....

and it is full of torque.. if you like powerfull low revving cars these are perfect...

I drove a 740d in Frankfurt, on the autobahn, I cruised at 180Km p/h, the revs were at 2400...

I was very impressed. I'm looking at a 330d now, or the X5 with the diesel engine.

looked at the M3, really want one, but will wait for the Kinderbugs to be ironed out.

Regds

Owen
