Clean, unadulterated performance from diesel technology
#2. Skip the Sport Package if you prefer comfort versus optimum
handling.
While we enjoyed exploiting all that the 335d’s twin-turbocharged
diesel engine had to offer, we were less enamored with our test car’s
ride comfort. We spent a week in a model outfitted with the optional
Sport Package, which includes a suspension system tuned for optimum
handling. Indeed, our 335d delivered lots of road feel with steering
response and cornering capabilities that few competitors can imitate
without the use of all-wheel-drive systems. But with that comes a
decidedly harsh ride that transfers every bump and road irregularity to
the driver. This makes the Sport Package less than ideal for those who
spend the majority of their time commuting.
