You’re looking at the 2010 BMW 335d with just a bit of tape obscuring the refreshed details.

Both cars were (probably) hot weather testing out in Death Valley and the crews were headed into Sin City for a bit of R&R.

You can see the sill above the tailpipes has more lines across it. The body also seems to have an additional strake below the infamous Kink. The taped tail lights indicate somethings up with them.

According to numerous sources and tests, the world's cleanest diesel is the Mercedes Blu-tec...

Get your facts straight. deisel is a lot cleaner than petrol. I do agree that BMW should come out with a diesel hybrid, but I would rather drive hydrogen, wouldnt you want to get 100 miles on a gallon of just water?
BMW is waiting for the rest of the world to catch up. They are ready when the rest of the world is.

MT ... yare are apparently on crack? BMW is the Leader in engine design. The diesel that BMW offers is better and cleaner than any of your other toyota products. But everyone is biased, so toyota is the best. You are like a crack whore trying to convince anyone that she is still not addicted ... idiots around us

@2ndbimmer,

“BMW is waiting for the rest of the world to catch up. They are ready when the rest of the world is.”

You mean they way they have their hydrogen car?
You should seriously get educated:

1 gallon of water sends BMW to no where; mankind has yet to develop a technology to extract power from RAW water.

1 gallon of liquid hydrogen sends BMW 4.7 miles, because it use the combustion engine and burns the hydrogen, it requires LIQUID hydrogen input which makes the refueling very difficult. (Less than 6 fuel stations are able to refuel the hydrogen 7 if you don’t know that). And the fact it combusts hydrogen result in extremely low MPG on hydrogen, so to make it practical, you need a HUGE/Heavy tank (roughly 550 lb by itself) to store hydrogen. Thanks to all those weight and spaces it required, the system that bmw has cannot be put into any car smaller than 7. And to make acceleration of this heavy combustion hydrogen car acceptable, a V12, 6.0L is needed so the car can achieve 0-60 in 9.5 second (don’t even talk about handle, with 5100 lb, handling is a joke).
So after all those, the hydrogen 7 is about to show off its hydrogen power for about 100 miles, and when it run on gas, it gets lower mpg (16.9) than a truck (no wonder, it weights more than a truck).

so, combusting hydrogen is by no mean to be advanced. and no one need to catch up on that. face it. BMW is lagging behind on Diesel (behind AUDI/VW), hydrogen (Honda), hybrid (Honda/Toyota)

TheSailor
thanks for the reply. your comment is very informative.

idealy, what would be the compression ratio for 'pure' hydrogen engine? could you also provide a link that explains more to the hydrogen ICE? frankly, i have never heard of the hydrogen ice and how it operates as a energy source.

Wow MichaelTaylor, Lexus are the worst, if I ripped off the "L" on any Lexus you would have to take a second to figure out if it was a Toyota or a Lexus. Its just an overpriced Toyota. And the engine in the BMWs are 100 times better without a doubt, and yes Amy Winehouse is a crack whore, but not talentless. You are ridiculous!

Damn MichaelTaylor! What the hell is wrong with you? You have to know that Lexus is a division of Toyota. That means that they actually do NOT build cars. Toyota does, so Lexus cannot own BMW in any departments. And winning Engine of the year 4 years running is very impressive.

If Lexoyta won it, you would act like jesus came back and was driving a fancy Toyota. Put the drugs down.

So my BMW is just a fancy Mini Cooper and my upcoming Mercedes is just an overprice Smart Mercedes?

silver.

um, no.

bmw owns mini, but it's a separate brand with a rich history and design language all its own.

bmw also owns rolls royce. so by your logic, a bmw is just a scaled down rolls?

Isn't this the 2009 3 Series, not 2010? I believe BMW is importing the 335d for the 09 model year. As for the "de rigeur" indicator lights on the rearview mirrors, I think Agent009 is wrong on that, too. It's just tape. BMW's flank side indicators are embedded in the front fender.

love my 335i...so it will be very interesting to see how the diesel version compares.

Wonder how many service problems will be reported with gasoline mixed in with ad-blue?

Bet potential customers can't wait to do some heavy hauling and towing with this car. It's obvous the 335d is a utility vehicle given all that torque.

Should be able to move a few models if they continue offering 2% financing.

Another flop waiting to happen. Mercedes couldn't do it, what makes BMW think they can?
