Exclamation

Mat Oz has aquired a awesome 330D Beemer, Mat is asking for someone with a UK Scooby to come and have a play with So if any of you UK Owners are up for a run in the park at somewhere like Bruntinthorpe please reply!

I think this is a great way to show how Diesels are good! and not just smokey relations of Buses.

Wife's Uncle has one.

A very, very fast diesel. Economy we can only dream of!! Mid range very good.

Not in the same league as an Impreza Turbo though.

Yeah

My nan has one, but don't rate it cos her Zimmer won't go in the boot.

She also reckons it's slower than the Fiesta she had before.

I read in some Diesel car magazine recently about a Superchips 330D - otherwise standard. I don't know if they are killers of BMW engines as well, but the figures looked quite impressive - over 200bhp, but absurd amounts of torque (>300lbft I think) - ingear times were down by 25-30%. As I remember 30-70 was about 6.5s - so maybe still second off a UK Scoob. I presume this one is standard - did Tiffany not take on Jason Plato 330D vs 328 and the 328 won just? The whole thing would be pushed in favour of the BM if the Scooby driver didn't stay on the boil. And the std UK scooby's top end is not it's best asset also. Would be interesting.

tiff raced a 330d vs a 330ci, where he was in the diesel and jensen button was in the petrol. needless to say, the diesel lost.

All,

This will be sorted out in the coming months. I suggest that maybe a track day might even be better than Bruntingthorpe!!

I'm not expecting to kick Scooby ***, but I don't reckon that the German Oil Guzzler will be left too far behind ( Oh, and I'll be doing 40 MPG at the same time. LOL )

Cheers,

Matt
