BMW 335d owners no longer have to live in the knowledge that their high-performance diesel cannot keep up with an M3 thanks to a new turbocharger upgrade launched by TurboZentrum.
The 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine found in select 335d and M340d models typically produces between 315 hp and 335 hp. Those are respectable numbers, but they’re a long way from the F80 generation’s M3 competition.
TurboZentrum’s new hybrid turbocharger lineup features an optimized and forged compressor wheel that radically improves power, response and peak performance. The company has also machined the compressor housing and as part of the available Stage 2 upgrades is also adding reinforced bearings, improving the durability of the turbocharger.

The new setup results in a cool 450 hp to match the F80 M3 Competition, while using much less fuel and lying more easily on the hip pocket. It also means that a model equipped with this upgraded engine will have more power than the tri-turbo and quad-turbo diesel engines used in some other BMW models.
While the 335d and M340d have been the focus of TurboZentrum in developing its new hybrid turbocharger system, a number of other BMW models use the same N57 3.0-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder diesel engine and can also benefit from the same upgrades.
TurboZentrum is asking €2,022 ($2,013) for its full-fledged Stage 2 hybrid turbocharger package, but at the time of writing, the new package was already out of stock.
