diesels are severely restricted due to emissions. I have a modded E90 335D, with DPF/SCR removed, EGR delete, ECU remap. Over 650 ft-lbs of torque (880 nm) means I can pull past 500 hp gasser (petrol) cars with ease. If you remove emissions and remap the ECU, diesels pull quicker than gasoline equivalent.

No disel always lose, if you have turbo disel vs turbo petrol gues what. All disels have to have turbo to be compareble to atmosferic petrol engines. 3 liter turbo petrol can easily 500+ hp car and pass emisions, and 3 liter disel can be at max 380 and not pasing emisions or anything. And if you go wild with maping and parts as you went for getting 380-400 hp from disel with petrol engine you are looking at 800-1000 hp

[@nikoweindel1198]

First of all, the diesel clearly is a sedan or estate, while the petrol car is a coupé or cabriolet. That should be disclosed, as the curb weights can differ quite a bit. Also, in my experience as a 150 kW 330d owner, it is quicker to shift into second a bit early, so that the engine has time to really build boost in second gear. Also, the gear will go in a bit easier. Very interesting nonetheless!

[@GalantPeer81]

the 330d has the low range torque advantage, and the 330i is pulling away above 100km/h, more high range power. Also 20kW power difference, and not to mention the weight difference, assuming the diesel is a bit heavier. I know with the E90 3 Series, the 320d is actually quicker on the 0 to 60 compared to the 320i, same amount of power, but the diesel with lots more torque.

[@gw7624]

Torque is meaningless when both cars are kept in their power bands. The most powerful car won, as expected.

we should compare turbo petrol vs turbo diesel , and we know the answer. Turbocharge m54b30 and it's game over for diesel . I like m57 one of the greatest diesels ever but it will need a lot of other stuff to beat turbo m54. The point is bmw already has a 1.5l 1500hp petrol engine used in F1 turbo era and there is nothing like it in a diesel world from any brad ever. Diesel is for relaxed and economy drive petrol is for hp per liter.

This is only half the story. Yes the 330i is quicker 0-60. Few will argue against that. But test the real world performance and see what you get. 30-50, 50-70, 70-100 mph. I remember my 330d would pull like few others could above 100 ;) Only problem was the engine note. It never sounded bad, but compared to a petrol 330i it was rubbish. The 335d is properly quick though. I'd have that any day over a 330i.

[@muldix]

Well, you have the right point of view

Its because 330d have turbos. They have boost on lower ref and na petrol does not. Thats why it does better in the 30-50 etc. I know it from experience. Still na is awesome at higher ref

@@bence.gabor.slezak I have a 330d with 350kkm and all I had to replace was the injector on 6th cylinder Turbo, as in any engine, will last a long time, provided that it has regular oil changes, i.e. every 10-15kkm Record holder that I have personally seen (although in a different brand car), the original turbo had 524kkm before it needed repair That's right, the fuel pump for the 3.0d is a bit expensive, but you can replace it yourself with one wrench and a screwdriver, unlike vanos repair which is not that simple M54 yes, repair vanos, replace ignition coils, disa valve, many other sensors that are NOT CHEAP The M54 sounds nice and runs smooth, but personally I wouldn't buy it

@@0595michal You most probably (like 99%) need to replace turbo, heat relay, chain (if you like to smash throttle) and list goes on and on. Petrol M54 is more durable than diesel engine in every way.

[@rotorblade9508]

Although the 330d is 132hp/t and 330i is 157hp/t the 330d seems to produce the same effective power as the 330i although its top power is lower so I think only the weight makes the difference. Basically from 0-180 they produce the same amout of energy (energy is power x time where you divide time into small bits and chose average power on the interval then add all the bits 😝 ) that’s probably because of the turbocharger that gives more lower rpm torque Power depends on torque amd rpm (analogous to force and speed) so let’s see an example the diesel has 3000-4800rpm 410Nm- 296Nm which means 172Hp to 200Hp (1800rpm band) Gasoline 4500-6500 rpm 285Nm to 250Nm that gives 170 to 230Hp on a 2000rpm band well... hmm the gasoline makes more power acording to this so maybe it’s not actually doing that 230hp 3000rpm 410Nm is equivalent to 4500rpm 285Nm

[@zanmk69]

I think that it is not even fair to compare these engines since they are not both naturally aspirated nor both turbocharged engines, its basically apples to oranges comparison. The fact that petrol engine outpreforms TURBO (fact that many peasants forget) diesel makes it superior. Just imagine the power of the petrol one if it was turbocharged or the absurdity of the naturally aspirated diesel engine in the BMW.

Put a software on it and it will smash the petrol engine. Also the petrol burns more oil in a 100 km than the diesel fuel.
