For as long as people are closed minded and keep basing their thoughts on 80's diesel engines, the world shall not change!

Also Maddog, don't know about the dealer you're getting it from, but we stopped washing our car, we phone the salesman, he picks it up from us, and for 18€, within little hours our car is all washed, outside and inside, vacuumed, dusted out, waxed, looks just like new once it returns to us :p

M Sport seats in cloth/Alcantara combo are the best! I see no point of getting black leather - it costs more and looks cheap in my opinion. Heated seats and xenons, you have those? :lol:

By adding a sport package. Duh.

€18 for all that? That's cheap. :eek:

 

Dealerships have a pretty bad reputation among detailers. Really, some of the dealer-prepped cars I have seen on DW were totally scratched, so I see why a person like him don't trust them.

Can't complain at all about our dealer, they're really helpful.

Yeah, that's nice. I wonder if they are using BMW products... :mhmm:

I know they're were not in 80s anymore and i rode in quite a lot of diesel powered cars like Mercs S Class 2.7, Audi A6 3.0 TDI BMW E60 530d and many others i cant remember now maybe its because 3/4 cars are diesels here and the rest 1/4 are petrol+LPG , but i feel like i would want a sporty car only petrol counts

Now we can have a discussion whether a premium sedan that is not tuned by M, AMG or quattro is a "sporty" car...

You are right! Should've read better :P

As with most cars these days, 'Sport', 'GT', 'AMG' and 'S-Line', etc. can be as little as a body-kit on the outside, some shiny bits on the inside with some heavier bolstered seats and if you're lucky lowered/sharpened suspension. Most notable one from my memory being the MK4 Golf GTI 2.0 8v over here. The engine wasn't exactly quick in the MK3 Golf, but because VW added some GTI-spec seats, wheels and put some GTI kit inside the MK4 this suddenly allowed it use of the GTI badge, even though the petrol engine of choice for the MK4 Golf was the 1.8t.

 

You can get a lowly Mercedes over here (see 180 CDI) with AMG kit on it which is far, far from being what most consider sporty, but because car companies have seen a market for slower cars that look like their much faster counter-parts the companies offer the kits on basically any engine in the range.

 

 

 

The 330d doesn't have heated seats, don't think I've ever seen a cloth/alcantara BMW E46 over here with heated seats, it seems reserved exclusively for leather interiors. It does have very nicely working air conditioning though which will be more than welcome this Summer, no doubt :p

Diesel cars can be fast, but they don't sound too sporty when they only rev to 5,000rpm

hmm, I think the taller gear ratios make up for the lower revs somewhat there, thanks for sharing.

Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro Acceleration - YouTube[/url]

 

That sounds horrible xD Pretty much prefered the stock sound, feels more refined, specially because you're not going to use an A6 3.0 TDi as a trackday car so why the fart can sound? xD

Maybe they had a mic mounted beside the exhaust?

I didnt say S class, A6 or 5 series is sporty i listed those because i remember those the most, i could list all the WV Golfs and Audi A3s 1.9TDi but those arent sporty either and youd be surprised how nice 2.7 litre In the S class pulls even sideways when you turn traction off :D

 

Here you go :D

Thats powered by AAA batteries not petrol :D

I have to say some bigger diesels such as 2.7, 3.0 can sound nice S class sounded like small-ish V8 while accelerating and it revved to 7.000RPM if i remember correctly

 

Anyway enough with the offtopic i feel guilty for it :)

Doesn't change the fact that he made that car sound like a fartcan ^^

You asked why...

[Fear Deer]

jyes jyes :) Because that's not the car's natural exhaust sound. Was just wondering why he'd do that, it sounds awful that way.

[Guest MrLolololXD]

I'd never own a diesel. I dislike them with a passion lol

[Fear Deer]

I'm fine with both fuels, each have their own advantages. pretty curious to drive a petrol car haha

[And3rs]

Went for a long drive in my car together with my dad. Roads are full of snow so I ended up doing many nice slides/drifts here and there. -5*C but still had the roof down, not cold at all. Great fun! :cool:
