For 8mpg (a fuel cost of £3000 over 100,000 miles), I think I'd have the 335i, especially with a 360hp remap potential.

Lol and Fox always going on the merits of not owning a diesel car if you do few miles.....quality

....obviously if your math is correct

Personally, I couldn't bear to drive a 330i. I'd feel as if I'd completely failed by not buying a 335i. So close, yet so far.

A poor attempt of stereotyping M3 drivers i.e. the look!

Fr0dders · 23 Dec 2007 at 21:55

I agree. If you're not getting an M3, at least get the next best thing!!

Total cost of ownership difference between the 330 and the 335 is justifiable for 70hp and 160nm IMO.

The guy in the article is wearing the same sunglasses as Clarkson, and he drives and M3!

Housey · 23 Dec 2007 at 22:06

On the roads we are seeing at the moment with the crap and grease all over them the M3 and the Merc would not see where the Audi went. So quick in day to day conditions if numb and the track test showed one of those well known Audi traits; understeer!! Roll on the CSL I say.

dammit, missed it

Azagoth · 23 Dec 2007 at 22:22

I actually prefer the Jaguar XF from the beginning of the show. That's a truly stunning bit of kit, both inside and out!

Clarkey · 23 Dec 2007 at 22:30

good ep, as for those 3 cars, i'd be in the BMW dealership without even considering the others.
Evel doc was pretty good too, even though it made the guy appear like a complete ass.

RS4 all the way!!

Good episode!

andi · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:43

There's not enough mention of the Lotus F1 car.

Oh. My. God.

Puts modern F1 to shame, the noise, the looks, love those cars

thewanted · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:57

Does anyone know where that Jaguar XF bit was filmed? Truly beautiful surroundings.
