CarMad Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yep thats right. They are launching a 330DI for Direct injection. In normal town driving it can reach 40MPG+ If they put it onto the 325 it looks like it will be on my new motor list. Will have a look for an article.

djcool Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'll believe it when I see it, or when I am explained the technology behind it that allows a 3.0 Petrol to obtain 40mpg+ average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd doubt the diesel can get anywhere near that, let alone the petrol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I can get no higher than 26mpg round town in a 330D and about 18mpg in a 330i petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Sceptics It did say 40mpg with relaxed stop start driving... Not grand prix starts at every set. BHP on the new 330DI is 272bhp with torque the same as the current motor. Either way is better than sitting on their laurels and doing nothing. The proof will be in the driving and as yet it seems they haven't released any specific C02 or MPG figures yet. Still.. interesting to see how it turns out.
