BMW 320CDI M sport pack Courtesy Car
 

I was shocked at the performance of a car that I presumed was going to be crap when they told me it was going to be a diesel. It does have the M sport pack though..but still...much much better than I thought any diesel car could ever be.

yeah bmw's diesels are great. My dads replacing his petrol X5 with a new diesel one because the performance is basically the same but u get better economy, pretty amazing really ;)

Just slightly...I would never normally go near a diesel car...but obviously they have been much improved as I was like :shock: :shock: :shock: WTF when I put my foot down...thought it was gonna be like a taxi...but more like a Ferrari....truly IMPRESSIVE stuff.

My dad as one just like the one above, with the M pack, but the 4 door, and it really moves very well for a diesel car. I wouldn't say like a Ferrari, but very good for a diesel with 2000cc.

By the way... have you tried its top speed? I heard the ratios weren't the same for all the countries!

I may try it tonight...but not something that I like doing when the car doesn't belong to me.

Compared to the Ferrari and Lamborghini all I can say is its still impressive or seems so anyway.

It must be the big torque that gives you that feeling of accelleration. The car looks very nice. How does it sound when the pedal meets the metal?

Much better than I thought but still pretty horrible compared to a petrol engine.

Yeah the torque from modern diesel engines really do make them accelerate pretty impressively! Still, they are a long way off making diesel engines as exciting towards the top end, or as enjoyable to listen to :wink:

The diesels are coming strong!

Sadly diesels are more and more sporty :( think what a 330d could do! :D

But for sure modern diesels performance is top notch! Only the sound lets you down ;)

It's a damn sexy car!! Last time I had a Jeep Cherokee as courtesy car at a BMW dealership LMAO

Any stats for it ??? 0-60 and top end ??

I guess you're gonna have to take a stopwatch with you tonight. :wink:

think its about 7 secs 0-60? could be wrong

0-60 in 8sec and something

Top end: 230km/h 144mph

Then tell me if I am right or what! ;)

in america jabba, there are hundreds of Disel Trucks that could smoke ferraris, and corvettes and porsches. it takes only a chip for our diesel trucks to be pushing like 500-600 lbs feet of torque and HP. Its disguisting. :twisted:
