There is no video of Steves car. There is a video of a 330d diesel BMW that I posted.

even the thread title, which is a post by me, states that it is a video of my diesel. so I've really not got a clue what or where you are coming from with your needless spam john. or is this all you do now? spam and ruin threads desperate to be like steve?

Nic, what mpg are you getting now it's mapped?
I've always had a soft spot for the 330d

averages about 40mpg round town and work and back. not bad at all. costs about 12 quid more to fill than my vectra did and i get over 500 miles to a tank instead of about 260 in the vectra. saving money.

Disagree, I think in a manual with a good start (which is not hard in these cars) you could get mid 6's
My auto on the other hand I think Id be lucky to see mid 7's
The 0-100 times are a bit poor however.
I would think Nics 30-100 in gear is pretty impressive being a torque monster.

yeah its quick seth. I've not raced that much, civic type-r, killed it, 106gti, killed it, clio 182, killed it, astra vxr beat it not killed it, but a fair bit quicker.
seems to pull forever in gears since the re-map. before you could feel it tail off about 3k doesn't seem to now just pulls harder.

I regret not going for a diesel tbh however was only planning on having the 330 for a few months when I bought it.
The combined torque on your driveway must be ridiculous

not being a bmw bummer, but seriously a million times nice to drive than saab, vectra (same car essentially) and mondeo st tdci that i had a go in. 3k on a 54 plate, great daily driver, plus it really does go sideways pretty easy due to the amazing sunny tyres on the back

I get tempted to chop my car in, and these are starting to make alot of sense. Not much outlay to get one, and with that comes decent build quality, great ride, great comfort, good mpg. Very tempting.

and a 200 quid remap see you 240 ish bhp and around 400+lb/ft of torque. effortless to drive tbh.

In all fairness I've never driven a manual one so good starts aren't easy... I think 30-100 would be very close to mine
