Having driven BMW diesels, the 6 cylinder 3.0L, regular 2L, the 1.9 VAG in 105bhp and 130bhp form as well as the Fiat / Alfa Diesels I have to say that the Fiat / Alfa are by far the best. They sound very good, esp the 5 cylinder 2.4JTDm. Unfortunately they aren't the best when it comes to MPG.
VAG diesels, whilst fairly decent sound almost agriculture by comparison. BMW are good, esp the 3.0L. I've not driven the 335D but I can imagine it being a bit of a monster!
What amazes me with BMW claims for MPG and CO2 is how they incorporate stop start technology into the figures. Surely a BMW on a non stop 200 mile motorway cruise will not be making any use of stop start, so how can they use the feature to reduce CO2 and MPG?
