[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Forum members will know I'm not the greatest fan of derv cars but I think old Tigger has done well here.

Incidentally what is the difference between a 330D and the 335D as they both share the same 3 litre straight six lump?

Good choice.

The 535d is a twin turbo (one small turbo and one large), whereas the 530d is a variable geometry single turbo. 

Incidentally, at one stage the 525d, the 530d, the 540d, and the 550d all used the 3.0d block. The 525d was a down tuned 3.0d. 

Probably performance overkill at Tigger's age.

This is what I should have bought instead of the Chrysler. They're invariably in a nice old man spec with lots of toys and comfy seats and yet a remap alone will add 100hp and 170nm

Was that the Crossfire, Jimmy?

The one that looks like a dog taking a dump when viewed in side profile.

Yes it will be a few years before I'm mature enough to handle the kind of cars you enjoy M'lud.

No, 300c diesel. Made you look like a seedy Atlantic City nightclub owner, but it was hella comfortable!

And mightily expensive to refurb both including bypass actuator. I’ve done a couple 😵‍💫.  Stick with the single unless you’re  well off🤣
