Canada to get BMW 335d and X5d in November (Photos Included)

One of our readers offered to share with us his opinion on the BMW 335d and some new photos. JM Wong is a client advisor for Calgary BMW and he recently attended a BMW internal training.

Personally, I find the 335d to be a bit boring because after driving the 335i, it is hard to drive a less power 3 series besides the M3 of course.
If a BMW client is looking for performance in a diesel, this is it. With 265hp and 425lb-ft of torque at 1,750 rpm, it makes the same kind of thrust as the 335i. I drove it pretty hard right of the start and find there is a little hesitation compared to the 335i.
What impressed me the most was the pull when you hit about 1,800 rpm you don’t feel like you are driving a diesel. As for the X5 xDrive35d, there is also a lot pull at about 1,800 rpm. It has more torque than my 2007 E70 X5 4.8i.

Nice pics! Interesting that the trim around the grills is black... is that a Canada thing? Looks wayyyy better than the chrome pieces I see in all the other pics.
