3-Coupe DIESEL 330CD !

[bonte]

Hi all,

for you guys this is maybe not so interesting news, but a lot of a people in Belgium and I guess in the Netherlands also...

BMW is releasing the 3-Series Coupe with a diesel! The only engine for now is the 2900cc-engine the 330CD that will be..
It will have the upgraded powerplant that is available on the 730d now, with 204pk (is it 204PS u guy say in English?) and 410Nm of torque. :roll: :bunny2:

The other diesels will also be upgraded...
the525d will have 180PS, the 530d will have 220PS, the torque numbers were not released. (anybody knows?)

Here's a pic of the 330Cd. My first time, so not sure if it will work...
also not such a good pic because I scanned it from a magazine: AUTOWERELD...

It's going in the good direction, i just can't wait to see BMW's answer to the C30 cdi AMG, (maybe something like M3d?)

Nice BMWs!

The Audi A8 will be released with a 4.0TDI this year.
I don't think the 3.3TDI was so successful.

Yeah Alpina should make work of a D3 BiTurbe like the D10 BiTurbo!

[Reno]

that shouldn't be that difficult, that engine should fit in the 3-series! but i heard there are lots of troubles with that engine

[bonte]

nice pics. Thanks for posting!

Reno what were the problems u heard? Relayebility? (don't know the correct spelling and to lazy to look it up..)(betrouwbaarheid bedoel ik dus Reno)

Do u know sb withe D10 BiTurbo? I wouldn't mind check that car out....

[Reno]

I can't remember were I read that, but here's some interesting information on bmwm5.com
it has'nt been a succes because an 530d with chiptuning is almost as fast, but a lot cheaper. still this car looks great, i wouldn't mind driving a D3.3 touring

[bonte]

he, do u surf M5.com to? What's your nickname there?

[Reno]

The same, but i haven't been posting there. (did you?)
I'm more into RS4's

[bonte]

yeah, my nick there is bonte too.

I post sometimes, but don't have the M3 anymore..

M5.com is a great board i think!

Lot of posts!!!

[Reno]

Did you just to have an M3?

.. D10 biturbo touring sounds nice, too.. but driving a A6 V10 TDi might be more interesting I think .. hope they think aubout s.th. like that .. well first it will only be availabe (correct?) in touareg and Phaeton .. hope it`s coming our way in A8 and A6, too

I heard it was'nt coming to any audi-models because it's to heavy, and that doesn't fits in Audi's image, certainly not in the aluminium A8! anyway i love this engine as well. 750 nm Torque that must feel good !

no Reno, don't have a M3 anymore. I inheritad (when u recieve sth when sb dies) from my father 5 years ago. But I recently went to live with my girlfriend and we had to sell the car to buy the appartment we like. And the yearly taxes and fuel consumption arejust way to high for a student...
I'm now driving a VW Golf, but hope to get a company car next year.

Then after a few years I'll be able to buy my own M3... or a 330Cd would be fine for me tooo... hah :cool:

What do u do for aliving? What did u study? I'm a last year student Industrial Engineer.

[Reno]

Sorry to hear that, which was it? E30 or E36?

I'm also still studying (i'm only 19), second year of law school(2de Kan), so i still have to wait another 4 years befor i can start thinking of buying an RS4 , but one day it will happen

[bonte]

aha, u have to study a bit longer than me...

I have 5 months to go. Are u also having Partial Exams now? I start mondat the 13th.

I see u live in Brussels. Do u plan on goin to the AutoSalon? Or do u still have exams then? I plan to go the 23rd, after my last exam, because it(s only open till 25 Jan isn't it?

it was a E39, red, black interior, but the fuel consumption was wbout 13l/100km, a bit too much for my standards and my income from weekendwork.

de groeten,

[Reno]

No exams for me only in june
is'nt the autosalon only about 4x4's and bedrijfswagens(:error: )
this year?
