335d Engine Note

Not my car, but gives you an idea what the 335d sounds like.

(Just spoilt by some crap music.

Interesting video

Shame about the radio in the background.......

Why do you need music on when your car sounds like that???

Notice the transmission completely skips 4th gear on the kickdown from 5th to 3rd. Doesn't even entertain it! Such a friggin' good transmission - love my Sport Auto!!

I did manage to capture some good sound from my E90 LCI 330d in this video below. Naturally, the N57 is a little more refined in the F30 now but I think there is a happy medium between my video and that video in the real thing. Love these big diesels and though I'm enjoying my petrol, I can't wait to get back into a torque monster

. I also had the 6MT in my E90 which was just an absolute joy with that engine, I can't even tell you how good it was. SO GLAD I didn't go for the 6spd Slushmatic.

Hard to tell definitively from the video but I'd say it sounds better than the 330d. Same tone, but more resonant. Man I wish they'd done this car in sdrive. I'd have bought it no question.
