A chipped 335i (gasser) will still beat the chipped diesel 0-60, but that diesel is so much more fun to drive.

Drove a friend's Mitsu Evo the other day. That thing is a beast when you push it, but I can say it was not fun to drive in "regular mode". Turbo lag was horrible, no power in lower RPM range at all. I am too old to always be in 'race mode'.
Similar feelings about the new 328i (2.0L turbo engine). Though better than the Evo, still not as much fun as my tall, (comparably) lumbering, freaking diesel SUV.
