Pontiac G8 GT vs BMW 335d

mpg-o-editor — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:28:41 +0000

I was inspired to knock out a quick CNN iReport this morning, based on the recent developments in Washington. While this might not be what you expect, it goes right to the heart of the matter at GM. I recently had the chance to review a Pontiac G8 GT back-to-back with a BMW 335d. After evaluating each car for a week, I was impressed with both. For the folks that think that GM can’t build a car that’s competitive with the imports, I can only suggest that they take a G8 GT out for a test drive.

GM was clearly aiming at BMW when they engineered the G8 GT. While the Pontiac can’t match the BMW in terms of fit, finish, quality of interior materials, and in-car electronics, it’s a different story out on the open road and on the bottom line. Although the G8 GT might not be the ultimate driving machine, it does quite well … far better than most folks would ever expect.

Pontiac G8 GT 0-60 MPH

The biggest difference comes down to drive trains. Both cars rock advanced six-speed automatic transmissions, but the 335d’s clean diesel twin-turbo six pulls far ahead when it comes down to fuel economy. The G8 GT’s 361 HP 6.0-liter V8 delivers superior 0-60 MPH times (5.3 seconds vs 6.0 seconds), but the 335d delivers highway MPG numbers that are close to double that of the Pontiac (not to mention an amazing 425 foot pounds of torque).

BMW 335d 0-60 MPH

The G8 GT pulls ahead when it comes to the spaciousness of the interior and out-the-door cost. With the fire sale that’s going on at GM dealers right now, G8 GTs can be had for roughly half the price of the 335d.

Bottom line?

These are both great cars … but if we had our way, we’d love to shoehorn the Beemer’s big bad clean diesel under the hood of the G8 GT, just for hoots …

2009 BMW 335d MPG Review

mpg-o-editor — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 03:43:25 +0000

MPG-o-Matic BMW 335d Review Summary: . The 2009 BMW 335d sets a new standard for performance-oriented sedans, by delivering a remarkable combination of fuel economy, acceleration, handling, and electronics.

The 2009 BMW 335d is like nothing else on the road in America today. While it looks, for all intents and purposes, like typical 3-series BMW, the 335d’s game-changing clean diesel engine transforms the car into a tour de force to be reckoned with.

The 335d’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six produces 265 horsepower (HP) and an amazing 425 foot pounds of torque. The powerful clean diesel engine is exclusively mated to a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. (The Steptronic can be shifted manually via the console-mounted slapstick shifter. Paddle shifters are optional.)

The official mileage estimates for the 2009 BMW 335d are 23 city / 36 highway miles per gallon (MPG).

We put over 750 miles on our Alpine White 335d review unit, and vanquished the official estimates, scoring an average of 43.9 MPG on the Interstate highway, with 35.1 MPG combined. Test period temperatures ranged from the forties through the sixties, with freeway speeds between 60 and 72 miles per hour (MPH).

The 335d presents a paradox. It isn’t just fuel efficient. It’s downright fast, with a stated 0-60 MPH time of six seconds flat.

Coaxing the best mileage out of the powerful twin-turbo engine isn’t difficult, once you get the hang of it (and gain the willpower to resist the sheer joy of stomping on the accelerator pedal at every opportunity).

Once you’ve accelerated to speed, let off the throttle. By lightening your right foot, you can get the 335d into a high mile-per-gallon range. Feather your foot and watch the analog MPG gauge (underneath the tachometer) to achieve the lightest touch. If you modulate your touch, you can slip into the vicinity of 50 MPG at 50 MPH. The 335d’s proliferation of torque makes it easy to feather the throttle and float down the highway.
Note: Our 335d test unit was delivered with under 2,000 miles on the clock. As with all diesel engines, we’d expect mileage to increase once the diesel engine has undergone a proper break-in period.

Although the 335d’s ride may be a tad stiff for some folks, it’s well balanced and the handling is excellent. Make no mistake about it, handling prowess plays into fuel economy, by making it easier to carry speed into and out of turns. The less you’re on the throttle, the better your mileage results.

Unlike many hybrids, which gain MPGs through low-rolling-resistance tires that can negatively affect grip and handling, the rear-wheel-drive 335d is glued to the road with low profile 225/45R-17 tires as standard equipment. (18-inch performance tires are optional.)

The 335d is unquestionably a drivers car, with a snug, though well-appointed cabin. Our test unit was equipped with Black Dakota Leather and packed with options, including heated seats with power lumbar support, USB iPod adapter, Park Distance Control, satellite radio, and navigation system (complete with real-time traffic).

The console mounted iDrive system uses a toggle knob and seven buttons to provides full access to the 335d’s audio, navigation, and cellular telephone capabilities. An internal hard drive is provided for in-car audio storage. Voice and steering wheel-mounted controls complete the mix.

The iDrive trip computer keeps track of the departure time, trip duration, distance traveled, and average speed, in addition to providing a running tally on fuel consumption. A miles to empty display is located between the speedometer and tachometer.

Hands free Bluetooth integration is top shelf. The process of syncing is straightforward and the upload of phone book information was performed flawlessly. There are two 12-volt outlets – one inside the center console and the other in the ashtray.

All-in-all, the BMW 335d is one of the best choices today for the fuel-conscious sporting driver, with the change to spare. No other car in America can compare with the 335d’s combination of thrilling performance and excellent fuel economy.

BMW 123d M Sport: Driven!

mpg-o-editor — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:38:24 +0000

I spied the 123d M Sport the moment she emerged from the Rio Hotel’s parking garage. The 123d’s brilliant blue paint glittered as it rolled under the valet parking area’s overhang.

It was like no BMW I’d ever seen with my own eyes … the grille was unmistakable, but it was attached to body that could be mistaken for any one of a number of hatchbacks.

After the valet pulled the car around we chatted a bit as I loaded up my camera gear and fitted the rig. He was amazed that it was a diesel. And not just any diesel … likely the only BMW 123d M Sport prowling the streets of America.

A quick stop at the vending machine to pick up a bottle of iced tea (as a concession to the fact I was headed off into the Nevada desert) and I was soon settled behind the wheel … looking in vain for a cup holder. I found none.

“It’s the ultimate driving machine,” I heard a voice in my head say in an unmistakable accent. “Not a coffee shop.”

I tossed the bottle of iced tea onto the back seat, crept out of the Rio’s parking lot, and headed west on Flamingo.

In this first short video, I drop the hammer on the 123d … if you watch carefully, you’ll see me check the cheat card after letting off to see how many kilometers equal 60 miles per hour. d’oh!

The misinformed folks that paint diesels as slow have never driven anything like the 123d. I can personally vouch for this little jewel’s stated 0-62 MPH time of 6.9 seconds when the 1995cc engine is mated to the six-speed manual transmission. There’s little doubt about the variable twin-turbo common rail diesel’s 204 horsepower rating and 400 Nm of instantly available torque (approximately 295 foot pounds).

The diesel-powered 123d M Sport sits at the top of the 1 Series range, alongside the 130i M Sport which carries a gasoline engine with significantly larger proportions … 50% to be exact.

The average American might never believe fuel efficiency ratings of 36.2 city / 53.5 highway / 45.2 combined, yet those are the rough equivalents of the 123d M Sport’s official UK ratings of 43.5 urban / 64.2 extra-urban / 54.3 combined.

That’s in one of the world’s most exclusive, if not hottest hatchbacks … one with a stated top speed of 148 MPH. I have no reason to disbelieve that number, although I only had the chance to run halfway up the dial.

The second video is a longer piece where I run the 123d through Red Rock canyon. Not a lot of dialog, just some fantastic scenery, a chuckle or two and the sweet growl of the 123d’s as I chase a couple of Mustangs and a bright yellow Corvette through the snaky canyon road.

In addition to delivering performance that would embarrass most common hybrids, the 123d steals a page from the hybrid book with it’s stop-start technology. When you roll to a stop with the transmission in neutral, the engine saves fuel by shutting down. Engage the clutch and the diesel instantly purrs to life.

Wicked performance and high MPGs?

The 123d M Sport just might be the perfect antidote to hybrid-mania … if BMW could only be convinced to bring the little beauty here …

Driving Clean Diesels in Las Vegas

mpg-o-editor — Sun, 18 May 2008 02:43:24 +0000

Alternative Fuels and Vehicles 2008 conference attendees were in for a rare treat at the Bosch sponsored a clean diesel ride-n-drive event on Monday evening, May 12th.

After opening remarks from diesel hot rodding legend Gale Banks, attention turned to the race course laid out though the parking lots of the Rio Hotel and a generous selection of Euro-diesel gems from Bosch’s fleet.

Attendees were treated to some of the finest examples of diesel engineering currently prowling the streets of Europe, including a Honda Accord i-CDTi and i-CDTi CR-V, Chrysler 300, BMW 535d M Sport, Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel, and a Mercedes-Benz E320.

Two of the newest and smallest additions to Bosch’s fleet proved to be the hits of the evening, with the MINI Cooper D and BMW 123d M Sport hot hatchbacks especially well suited to the tight curves of the Rio track.

For those that had never driven a modern clean diesel vehicle, the event was an eye opener, with each vehicle delivering exceptional performance and economy in their respective classes.

For attendees that missed the event … there’s always next year …

BMW 3-Series Gas Mileage

mpg-o-editor — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 01:39:46 +0000

Over the years, BMW’s 3-Series have earned a well-deserved reputation for delivering a convincing combination of performance and handling, while achieving reasonable gas mileage (for those blessed with the constitution to keep their foot out of it). The current crop of BMW 328s and 335s are no exception, with highway gas mileage ratings in the mid to high twenty mile per gallon range.

The imminent return of diesel-powered BMWs to America herald a new era of fuel efficient sporting transport. The 5-series will likely be the first BMW diesels to arrive. We can only hope that the 3-series diesels follow quickly, as the mileage ratings are nothing less than stunning (for the average American).

In the UK, the diesel-powered BMW 320d ES is rated at 47.1 miles per Imperial gallon (MPG) urban, 68.9 MPG extra-urban, and 58.9 MPG combined with a six-speed manual transmission. That equates roughly to 39.2 city, 57.4 highway, 49 combined here in America. The 320d is no dog … as turns in a 0-62 mile per hour (MPH) time of 7.9 seconds with a top speed of 143 MPH.

BMW 535d Diesel

mpg-o-editor — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 03:20:50 +0000

One short ride in a BMW 535d is sure to blow away any preconceptions you might have about diesel engines.

I took a quick spin around the block in a 2007 535d M Sport this week, while at the Green California conference. I flew cross-country for the chance and brought my camera to share the ride.

Now I’ll freely admit … for my entire life, I have succeeded in resisting the lure.

I could never picture myself driving a BMW.

The 535d M Sport diesel changed all that.

With a 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 producing 272 horsepower and a whopping 413 foot pounds of torque, 0-62 happens in 6.5 seconds. With a top speed of 155 miles per hour, this is the real deal. But it’s not just fast … it’s silky smooth.

Inside the cabin, it’s remarkably quiet.

And then there’s the clincher: an estimated 35.3 miles per gallon (MPG) combined.

I feel completely justified lusting after a beautiful fast car that delivers the MPGs …

Best Gas Mileage Four Wheel Drive

mpg-o-editor — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 18:31:12 +0000

Need a four wheel drive with the best gas mileage? Get ready to downsize. None of the best gas mileage four wheel drives (4WDs) are jumbo-sized sport utility vehicles (SUVs).

Simply put, the aerodynamics and vehicle weight of the bulkiest SUVs cause gas mileage to suffer, leading to many a painful transaction at the pump. The trick is to get small(er), lighter, and more slippery. Credit Subaru for getting the ball rolling with popularizing economical 4WD drive passenger cars in the early days. Since 1997, every vehicle Subaru’s offered in America has been all wheel drive.

These days, it’s not just Subaru. There are plenty of four wheel drive choices that are neither truck nor SUV. And forget the notion of pint-sized economy cars. You’ll find a generous helping of 4WD luxury from manufacturers including Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, and Lexus … in fact, you’ll find many of their offerings in the 2008 list of best gas mileage four wheel drives.

Purists will gladly share that there’s a difference between four wheel drive and all wheel drive (AWD). And surely there is … but for a great many folks, it comes down to two simple questions: will it go in the snow and will I go broke feeding it?

At the other end of the spectrum, the little Suzuki SX4 delivers plenty of bang for the buck, by combining the best four wheel drive gas mileage with a low sticker price (for those who don’t just think miles per gallon … but miles per dollar.)

Along with its corporate cousins, the Ford Escape Hybrid proves the exception to the rule as the highest all around mile per gallon (MPG) four wheel drive vehicle. If you can’t get a great deal on an Escape Hybrid at your local Ford dealer, take a look at the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. And if you happen to live in Southern California, the Mazda Tribute Hybrid HEV might be an option … as long as you’re able to snag one of the 350 Tribute HEVs built for this test market.)
