335D gear ratios

red355 · 12-29-2006, 10:23 AM

Bit sad but I worked out the MPH/Thousand rev in each of the 6 gears on a 335d 6 speed auto..and speed at the max power point (4,400) & max revs (5,000).

6.46 - 28.4 - 32.3
11.51 50.7 - 57.6
17.71 77.9 - 88.6
23.58 103.7 - 117.9
31.08 136.8 - 155.4
39.00 171.6 - 195

so it looks like the 155 mph limit could be just reached in 5th.if the box didn't intervene. However in DS mode the box seems to change up at around 4,800 revs. Well it does on mine and the various video clips on YouTube seem to confirm that.

so in each gear change (@ 4,800) drops to the figures below but of course the mighty vat of torque just helps to wind the needle clockwise again..
1st to 2nd 2,700
2ns to 3rd 3,125
3rd to 4th 3,600
4th to 5th 3,640
5th to 6th 3,825

if you want to watch this in action have a look on www.Youtube.com and search for 335D. 0-100 seems to be about 13 seconds...similar to a E46 M3?

Yeah that's what I thought,the 335d only go's untill 4800 rpm while the 535d does even more then 5000!

Why is that?

Forgive me for asking... but did you use the transmission ratio figures quoted in the brochure for working this out? Just curious!
