As above does anyone know?
How much power do they have and whats their top speed roughly? Ta!
-
which model? e46?
my bro has one mapped by ben at shark, its around the 250-260bhp, but the torque is stupid! :stupid: he ran a 14.5 at inters in it.
Also its worth noting that it now needs a new clutch, DMF and the diff is on its way out! :laugh:

I remember coming across a mapped 330d e46 in my stage 1 cupra once and it actually stuck with me was well impressed!

i reckon you got spanked by a diseasal :grin: :grin:

Short answer... Very quick.
I've had two 330cd's and I pick up my third on Saturday :party:
My first coupe was mapped by superchips and it had 245bhp and just shy of 400lbft torque. The midrange was incredible but obviously top end was limited to 150mph... but then there's no point in more! When mapped they're much faster than a standard GTI but having never driven an edition 30 I could not compare to that. I know that my mapped 330cd was faster than my remapped S3 (1.8T 260bhp)
:happy2:
-
I've got a E90 330D Sport...very very quick as standard...231bhp / 379lbs
Lovely flat torque curve
They are seriously quick mapped but mine is quick enough TBH
-
I hope they use superchips to tune them... fingers crossed they might give them the wrong remap :happy2:

Lovely, lovely, lovely engine in those... They're almost as nice as the one in my E92 330i and that's saying a lot for a diesel engine :happy2:
-
260bhp ish and 1500 kilo. torque makes them feel fast like all diesels, no faster than a standard decent hot hatch.
-
335d mapped is even quicker.. Stage 1 ED30 pace over 1/4..
-
why we comparing 330d and 335i :confused:
-
A 330d mapped (a new one) will be seriously quick ....
I drive Police 530d's at work and as standard they are 7 to 60 .... and keep going to about 130mph before building slowly above that.
The 325d we tried got in a pursuit with a Focus ST and stayed with it no problem.
A mapped 330d will be very nice thank you .... for a diesel :laugh:
Once on the move I would imagine it is highly amusing ....

....So, are you thinking of trying to outpace them and getaway!? There ain't no hiding place - Those days are long gone :evilgrin:

Well obviously they must be replacing the evos and scoobies, so just wanted to see how they compare cause tbh Im not convinced that they are up to the job as an interceptor car.
Cant say I could see a 330d with a map, and laden with the usual crap keeping up with a modified k04 or TTRS in a straightline once you get to motorway speeds, and the beemer wouldnt know which way the TT went if say the pursuit was laden with roundabouts, twisties, or in the wet.
Scoobies and evos though would.
A 335d would be a much better car for interceptor work as they can do 13s down the strip once fettled.

....Pursuits can easily involve more than one car and even a helicopter. That's quite apart from the fact that the police pursuiter's driving skills will be waaaay better than most crims let alone just a member of the public.

I used to have a 330d (E46), X reg so it was 184 BHP as standard, Chipped uk remapped it to 235 BHP but the torque was amazing, and still upto 50 MPG !
The newer 330d was 231 BHP as standard

Just an extra turbo to go pop on those!

You'd be surprised. The 330d handles like a dream and is more than capable of keeping up with any (standard) golf in the twisties. I'm never driven the TTRS but the 330d is miles better in corners than any of the mk1 TT's for sure.
Especially if it is pi$$ing it down! :evilgrin:
What is it with people thinking BMW's are no good in the wet???
Everyone still talks as though once it starts raining, you can't take a BMW out in the wet. I'm on my 4th 330d now (3 E46's and 1 E92) and can honestly say they are better in the wet than a mk5 GTI. They all have DSC so you'll only get the back end out if you turn it off. Otherwise they are as composed, safe and fast as anything else on the road. My old bug eyed WRX was worse in the wet than any of my BMW's. I had a couple of hairy roundabout brown trouser moments in the Scooby, but not one in the BMW, even driving in the slush at 80mph.
I reckon anyone that complains about BMW's in the wet has either never driven one or can't drive for sh1t!
/rant over!

Can't see a rep mobile being quicker through the twisties than the TTRS :signLOL:

....I had my BMW nearly 90 degrees sideways once and got her back... just!! Hurt a finger though, but not badly. BMW's handle very well imo.
Anyroadup, trained Police drivers should not be underestimated.

I have owned a 330d, it was quick, but not any quicker than say a mapped Mk5 GTi, just a nice flat torque delivery and lots of it.
What people fail to realise is that a 3 series is a different car completely to most hatchbacks, its a purpose made RWD sports car and with the right driver it can outpace most things, not by its power but its balance, handling and braking.
I replaced it for a 335d, which is 10x better than the 330d, this will outpace and outhandle most things, depending on who is driving it. People whoc complain about RWD + WET are just not capable of driving the car properly :P
-

Maybe not, but where would you stop at that argument? If the police get TTRS's someone would say "I can't see TTRS keeping up with a Lambo"
The Police aren't getting 330d's because they're the fastest thing around. They'll be getting them because they're quick, reliable, handle well, have plenty of space for all the kit, they're safe and comfortable for long drives.

I completely agree with you 100% :happy2:

330d purpose built rwd sports car? outpace most things? not sure would agree there mate, all bmws are good cars at what they do, only the m cars are purpose built sports cars though. dont get me wrong i want a 135i next, but even them are not known to be the best in terms of handling.
-
^^ i would agree with that, after having a e90 320 as a higher car for a couple of weeks the last thing I would call it is a purpose built sport car, the words comfy, sedate and handles like a boat come to mind
nice if you like doing motorway miles though :happy2:

Well, I've gone from GTi Edition 30 to Z4M to 320d M Sport coupe .... and I would hardly describe my 320d as sedate and handling like a boat.
Yes, it's power is nothing compared to the other cars I have owned but it's OK (and about to be mapped :evilgrin:) and the handling is what I found fun - more fun than my Edition 30 .... but then I am very, very used to RWD :laugh:
-
fun is different to great handling.

....Yes, "fun" usually means a bit of arse action (I'm referring to cars).
Didn't Renault do a rather nice ad campaign in which lots of lovely ladies were shaking there arses?

The 330d Msport was purpose built with vastly different suspension and brakes to the rest of the 3 series line up, what i mean by purpose built is that there was very little compromise, they didnt just recycle a pre made chassis like VAG do with a vast array of engines and body models.
I never mentioned that a 330d would outpace most things, i said the 335d, which is an extremely capable car. Mine will easily pull away from a mates new shape impreza sti and will stay with it easily through bends (in the dry) and once up to 50 mph most fwd hothatches dont come close. Its by no mean an M3 in the bends and for the thrill factor but straight line pace theres not much in it.
Yes its comfy and quiet but by no means boaty.Its economical and seriously quick, but thats not what everyone likes
I am also looking at the 135i for next year, but not 100% convinced yet, need to talk a customer into letting me have theirs for a weekend to test it 'properly' :wink:

I really rate the 330d having owned a well sorted Edition 30....as a road car!
As track cars both the Edition 30 and E90 are compromised by weight issues and need large expenditure....like most modern cars...more BHP and bigger brakes to stop the blighters.
Both the MK5 and E90 have thoroughly good chassis and like S08 I have experience of the BMW's at work and home.
I now use my infamous MK2 16V which will be featured in VW Driver in due course having been in the mag a few years ago....it is a proper 200 bhp old school Tim Stiles built car of the Slick 50 era but looks like a super 1990 big bumper car
Here's a picture of us last Friday at Combe

The 335 is massively quick when mapped but for me I love light weight natually aspirated for track and the bemma makes a lovely family car that's cheap on fuel.
There was a stripped out Z3M on intermediates which very quick and light.
I'd not go down the turbo route again for track use....too many reliabilty and heat issues TBH.h
