Autoblog just reviewed the BMW 335d, a 3.0L twin turbo diesel that is slated for the states. Their words were very enthusiastic towards the powerplant, stating that it was a great car for racking up the miles on the highway. Passing speed is fast and effortless, and even driving at 80, they were seeing over 30m.p.g.
While the power delivery may be different from what our gasoline motors have gotten us used to, the diesel is actually much more suited to American driving. Low-revving at high speed, and torquey for putting in traffic.
The testers at Autoblog did have a few negative comments about the car, but most of those had to do with the interior and how quick the options added to the cost of the car.
So, how about it? Would you consider a diesel, now?
