2010 335d
The 2010 335d will erase those bad memories forever - if you'll give it 5.9 seconds of your time. That's how long it will take for the twin-turbo'd, direct-injected 3 liter diesel six to get you to 60 mph. This powerhouse makes 265 hp and an astounding 425 lbs.-ft of torque - output comparable to a large displacement V-8, but without the big V-8's appetite for fuel.
At 80 mph, the engine is barely idling at 2,000 RPM. At 120, it is just beginning to stretch its legs.
A gas-burning 335i is slightly quicker to 60 and about as fast, all out - but you'll be stopping more often given its SUV-like 17 MPG city and 26 MPG highway.
The diesel is electric motor quiet on the highway and almost impossible to distinguish from a gas engine at idle. It even behaves like a gas engine - a big V-8 gas engine - with an RPM range that runs to 5,000-plus RPM (high for a diesel they typically max out around 4,000-4,500 RPM) and muscle car-like off-the-line acceleration and part-throttle passing power.
Some say you can't have your cake and eat it, too. They were wrong!
