3 Series AC Schnitzer's 335d xDrive sets acceleration-record for a diesel car

[DeDe]

During the performance testing of AutoBild Sportscars, the AC Schnitzer 335d xDrive managed a 0-100 km/h time of just 4,4 seconds. That's new record for a diesel car and it's even more impressive if we consider that the testcar had huge, performance-killing 20-inch-wheels.

The 360-hp diesel reached 200 km/h in 17,6 seconds, that's 1,2 s quicker than a stock 335i and it's 1,5 s better than the M550d's time is.

Thanks to the enormous torque (690 Nm @ 2000 rpm) the in-gear flexibility is fantastic as well: 60-100 km/h in 4th gear takes 2,9 s, 80-120 km/h in 7th is only 6,0 (!) seconds.

Price of the engine-tuning: €3.162,-

Engine tune, de-badge and standard m pack.

Ultimate sleeper, particularly with the 'old school' exhaust of the 335d vs 335i (it looks like a 328i)

690Νm? Holly cr@p!

4.6 seconds 0-100. Amazing.

No 'M350d' is needed.
