    This feels like the old school 320d is all you need video from vintage Chris Harris. Common sense journalism to balance out the skids and buffoonery in a supercar we can't afford

    I watched the original video where you said the 320d M Sport is all the car you could need. Then watched the Tiff video on the E90 D3 Biturbo where he said forget the 320d get the Alpina. So am now the proud owner of #114 E90 D3 Biturbo and it is the ultimate all rounder.

    Had a 335d xDrive a few years ago, which has the same base engine, if I'm not mistaken, albeit with about 30 less hp. It was the ultimate long-distance weapon. Unshakeable traction in greasy northern winters and doing 45-48 MPG, when you weren't flooring it. And it looked so unassuming with the two little exhaust pipes, just like a 320d.

  • @endlessrage4062
    @endlessrage4062 3 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +7

    Couldn’t agree more. The perfect vehicle for driving in Britain. That’s why I’m so happy with my F31 335d touring. Waited and searched for over 6 months for the right spec. It was so worth it! Fantastic and now remapped so goes like a stabbed rat. The gearbox remap is an excellent addition too, transforms the driving experience.

    • @andyboyle449
      @andyboyle449 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Intrigued by the box remap. I’m pretty happy with the power/torque (after years of Swedish shitboxes!) What does the box map bring to the party?

    • @endlessrage4062
      @endlessrage4062 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ I had a what was called a stage 3 gearbox remap. It eliminated the torque limiter, changes the way the box shift, rpm, throttle position, etc. It’s just far more responsive and less lazy when driving around in comfort mode. When you stamp on the accelerator, it’s much more instantaneous acceleration, less hesitation. When put in eco pro mode, the shifting reverts back to the original eco pro settings. So best of both worlds.

    Great and refreshing vid. Whilst not an Alpina, I have a 2016 F30 335D, for 5 years now. Estoril Blue. Debadged. Cloth and suede seats. Leather is rubbish as a material. Honestly what it does I know I won’t be able to get elsewhere. It’s pretty much spot on for me. I’m toying with the idea of replacing it with an F87 M2 Comp but honestly where am I going to be able to enjoy the performance of that other than on track? Cameras and potholes everywhere. Take me back 20 years.

    Well done on the great purchase mate! She looks a beauty. I have a E90 335d, (Diesel engine and Diesel car of the year) with no engine mods other than stage 2.9 tune which now makes 395hp & 600lb yet still handily does 35mpg plus. Redid the suspension & has pump with meth/distilled mix in Washer tank to clean the manifold. Also love the steering feel, so wonderful to drive with the torque always available. All I'd add is what you mentioned the LSD. These are probably The Best All round Cars ever made Chris 💫🤙🏽

    Especially about people buying a new car. All these wet belts also seems to be more unreliable on purpose.
    I really like my F30, comfortable, plenty of power to over take and just a nice motor to cruise in.

    I own an ALPINA D3 Touring F31. As fast as one needs on the road and, if really careful with the throttle, 600 mile range! 19 inch wheels still generate quite a lot of tyre roar on poor surfaces; this is the only real gripe. Really don't know what I'd replace it with when the time comes and hope to track it before then.

  • @JustAnthonyX

    I bought my first ever diesel this year & I doubt I'll ever go back to high performance petrol. It's a gorgeous E350 AMG Premium line Cabriolet with LSD, a 9G Speed Shift MCT transmission that can do 0-60 in 4 seconds with a stage 1 remap & tops out at over 180mph. HOWEVER, it averages 28mpg around town & the best I've got on a run is 49.5mpg! I miss the growl of my petrol V8's, but it's a small price to pay for the luxury, sporty, economy driving I now get.

    I daily drive a 3.0 525d f10. Not the fastest or flashiest. But it gets me over 40mpg in sports mode and doesn't hesitate when I boot it past old Doris on my commute to work.

    I remember watching your first review (for “the DRIVE” program) of the F30 alpina B3. and although this wasn’t offered in USA, it inspired me to get my sapphire black metallic F30 335i 7 years ago. It looked so similar to the one you reviewed I Bought it used with 70k miles. Now it’s pushing 212,xxx miles. it’s an outstanding fun chassis and the N55 is a joy with a simple tune and bolt ons.
    Thank you, Chris Harris, for inspiring me and others with affordable reviews like this.

    Chris, my base 991.2 C2 can do 40mpg on boring highway trips, with lots of police radar traps forcing me to obey limits. But then when I am on a mountain pass…well, it’s a 911, isn’t it? OK, not quite up to your Touring, but then my driving skills probably rarely test the limits of this amazing car. Done nearly 200,000km since I bought it, and I swear I have been grinning for most of them.

    The F31 335dx that i had was great and it was the peak of my motoring as it made me _want_ to drive it, everyday usable power and exteriorily compact, not "perfect" but just right. SE suspension (coz it was xDrive) was perfect for the crappy UK roads, B-roads especially, just the run-flats gave some harshness. Sad to give it back. But now when i look at getting another used one the interior feels dated & cramped (for a person of my height) plus the ones i see are particularly _used_ however all the newer versions & beemers in general feel 'cheap' and soul-less, premium feeling products, yes, but missing something.

    People really forgot just how good Diesels have become and how great they are. Even a 320d (Touring) will do great mileage, enough torque, great handling and enough space. But CH already said that ages ago.

    I love this type of video.I drive an old skoda Octavia vrs tdi and have so much fun using the power and ok handling in the knowledge that im not doing a million miles an hour while doing 48mpg all in the family car.

    I love my 2023 XD3, 0-100 in 4.9, right size for an SUV, and does 7 -8 L/100km daily and 5.5 on a freeway drive. Astonishing. Much more versatile than an X3M in my view.

    We had a D3 F31 Touring for a couple years! Fantastic car, always wanted the 19's rather than the 20's as well! Did a track day round Snetterton as well and was hilarious keeping up with all sorts of machinery! 💪 Love em!

    Honestly my E90 LCI 320d was a stonker of a car. A lot of the stuff I see in this car, specifically the interior, stems from the E90. It was leagues ahead in terms of a modern feel, and even now I have an A3 and my dad has the BMW, it still looks modern and up to date compared to brand new cars, even on 180k miles! Best bit is it's 2010 so no ridiculous driver assists!

    Has anyone heard of a fuel called HVO? It burns cleaner than diesel and is a direct drop in even Euro 6 diesels, it’s not cheap right now but I can buy it at the pump, I use it in a diesel drift car because it has a noticeable bump in power and now the car makes no smoke!

    This is the same issue that stops me selling my Jaguar XFS 3.0, loads of torque, pulls like crazy, but will do 45 on an A & B road mix, and nudge 60 on a run driven lightly. Only thing that was pushing me is mine is a year older than your BM and Euro 5. But then I realised I never drive into London, and only twice in 2 years into Bristol.
    Like any diesel driver though, who knows what's round the corner.
