The 325i is also lighter. So ... No chance for 325i to beat the 3.0 turbodiesel. There is not one thing at which it has the upper hand. Not to mention a rolling start race, where the turbodiesel would put even a bigger gap.
200k km's on both of them and still going strong! Cool video! Thinking of getting one of these to tune and bring to the Nurburgring. They're dirt cheap these days with many spare parts available.
Is it a possibility that ambient air temperature could be the difference between these two cars. I've always been a gasoline guy but I know some diesel trucks over here are pretty fast.
Good question. Maybe a bit in the power output of that petrol BMW. But, usually, turbocharged diesel is a bit faster than n/a engine with similar power output. So 325i still would have lost, even at same temperature test. Turbodiesel just is a better engine under load and has more performance, and the way it delivers it - compared to n/a petrol engine.
Well, as a petrol engines fan i have to admit that the diesel has over 20hp less than petrol and even that won remarkable. But i think that you could make better start with 325i especially on a dry road. I like your content, so please go on making such a interesting comparisons!
@@viktorivanov1478 Turbodiesel is not exactly fast of the line. A n/a with similar power has actually quite a bit better start. Rolling start is where the more powerful turbodiesel comes above.
@@tsebehtgma6422 a 3.0 turbo diesel is quicker than a 2.5 na petrol. Why not compare it to a 3.0 turbo petrol? Oh I know, because it would stand a chance.
Bear in mind 5.5C vs 29.5C makes a big difference in performance.

@@legioner9 well n52 for sure will do better on track any day of the week
@legioner9 arrivés a haute la 325i passent devant j'ai une 325i je prrnf 262km/h avec le 2,5 😉😉 la 325d a 245 elle a plus rien

Hello I was w9ndering, do you know if the 2.5 has a 3 stage manifold? 🤔
Why there's no temperature gauge in the diesel??
Thanks for the video!
my eyes were focused on the difference in l/km.
baxter009 hell yes 😂😂
325i was on live reading, the 325d was set on a global average

@@legioner9The 330I is a 3L straight 6 and is the same price as both of these Cars it's 258 Hp n/a would-be smoked both of these cars by a long shot
@@Janawhitej1 I personally doubt the 330i beats the 330d on 100 - 200+ km/h.

Thank You... Well, 325i is very very weak in low RPM. That's why the start isn't perfect. Sorry for that
@@muldix That''s normal for the petrol engine without turbo and the outside temperature doesn't help as well.

The 330i is so much better then the 325i for the same price you get a n/a 3l 258 Hp inline 6
human eye can see only 8gb of ram
Totally the comment I was looking for thx m8
Its actually big difference in outside temperature but well done diesel
That’s the right note!
Yes but 325d has I think more kg, I say with same weight and ps diesel is always faster
When the diesel was recorded, it was raining outside

i'll take both :p
what's with the constant fuel consump. at diesel ???.......shold be at least 6 at 100 kmh
These engines are very very efficient.
@@muldix
.....hard to believe that small anyway.......
@@Kogaion78 i’ve managed to keep the consumption at around 5.7l/km on my 325d. Very efficient for a 3L 6 cylinder.

Wow I’m so Good
:-D on both sides
After 200 km/h things will change.
After 200 km/h diesel start slow down but petrol keep pulling little bit more 😅
325i is n52b25, this engine dont hold factory power. This engine got a lot of problems, i got around 180os instead of 218 in m e92 2006 ( same engine)
the 3.0 or 2.5?
@@brianrockefeller3552 2.5, 3.0 is better
Well, the engine in the video was ok.
these shifts in the 325i are crap
This 325d is chipped for sure,probably around 250hp
700hp
