Diesel 3 Series puts the “o my” in fuel economy.

Photo Details
Poster: xcel (see this users gallery) We recently spent a week driving a BMW 330d in and around Detroit, and it proved to be every bit the enthusiast driving machine you’d expect, except at the fuel pump. This model of the 3 Series sedan isn’t sold here (for reasons we’ll get to), but we got our hands on this example imported for engineering tests by Honeywell Turbo Technologies, a company you may know better for its trademark Garrett turbochargers. Rated at 228 hp, the 3.0-liter, direct-injection turbo-diesel clatters only a tiny bit at cold start-up and not at all when you lift off the throttle to shift or corner. Most of the time, you’d be hard-pressed to notice it’s a diesel, except for the abnormally low redline of 4800 rpm (the last 800 rpm of which doesn’t see much use).
