Anyone can design a car that can go faster and even handle but not get good fuel economy. For all its flaws, Porsche always improves power AND fuel economy in its design upgrades.
Diesels hold a special place in Europe and they do outperform gassers, in general, under most circumstances. 0-60 times be damned. To each his own. You talk HP, but you drive torque.
And I won't be fooled to think that ANY M3 owner thinks he/she doesn't feel their car is FASTER than yours. So don't give us 335d owners that BS about us being jealous because we know you think you are faster. Perhaps. You are certainly paying for it.
Be good.

If I wanted great fuel mileage, I would have bought another car. Glad you love your diesel.
