Had the 535d on test for 3 days before i chose and this was so much faster and lighter and really does stick to the road.

That is one AWESOME looking machine. I love the look of the 335 coupe. How does the 335d compare to the gas/petrol version?The new M3 is going to be a BEAST! If I did not have a family to consider I'd be in a 335 coupe or possiblby an M by this time next year.

it definately feels alot faster to me. However its lower down, harder suspension and smaller so thats to be expected. As for the overall figures of speed i do not know.
It just felt to me to have more "pull" all the way through the range and alot more torquey.

i belive the 335i petrol is .2 of a second faster 0-60 but this has a horrific amount of torque in comparison so i imagine the mid range to be alot more useable. I never even considered the petrol because of the crazy fuel consumption of a 3 litre with two turbos.
ive done 600 miles and im pretty young so drive like a loon and im getting 30mpg no probs. And on diesels it only imrpoves as they run in more in my experience.
