I know of a few guys over in europe who have the older 330d in the 400+hp region as that straight 6 lump with common rail diesel injection is so tunable........it comes down to being able to get a hold of large enough injectors as you start to run out of fuel especially when using sequential twins .
NOT true the V8 is lighter than its L6 predecessor!
