Clean, unadulterated performance from diesel technology
#9. Think diesels like the BMW 335d are sluggish? Think again.
Clean diesel technology is all well and good, but for BMW buyers, it
doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if it sacrifices performance.
Thankfully, that’s not the case, as the 2010 335d hustles nearly as
well as its gas-powered 335i sibling: the 335i runs to 60 mph in 5.4
seconds, whereas the 335d hits that magical number in six seconds flat
(both models equipped with an automatic transmission). That’s far
better than your average car, but what really sells the 335d is the
fuel economy that accompanies its brisk acceleration – 23 mpg city, 36
mpg highway, and 27 mpg overall. The 335i, by comparison, achieves 17
mpg city/26 mpg highway/20 mpg overall.
