Hendrick Motors BMW, your leading North Carolina BMW dealer serving parts of Virginia, is proud that BMW's 3.0-liter sequential twin-turbo inline-6 diesel engine featured in the 10 Best Engines list compiled by the Ward's AutoWorld panel of expert judges for the second consecutive year. Ward’s AutoWorld is a monthly magazine that provides reliable news and analysis regarding all aspects of the automobile industry. The engines which make it to the 10 Best Engines list have to score well in terms of horsepower, torque, refinement, technical relevance, and comparative data.

BMW's EfficientDynamics strategy is focused on building greener, more fuel efficient engines without sacrificing performance. The goal was to create the most sophisticated diesel engine in the world. The re-election of BMW's Advanced Diesel engine to the Ward's 10 Best Engines list validates our team's accomplishment,'' said Hans Hohenner, General Manager of Drivetrain Development for BMW Group. ''The 335d Sedan demonstrates that BMW vehicles have never been more environmentally friendly and very much proves that The Ultimate Driving Machine is alive and well.''

BMW’s advanced diesel engine boasts of a sturdy aluminum shell and combines V-8 performance with four-cylinder fuel efficiency. EPA estimated fuel efficiency is 23 mpg for city and 36 mpg for highway. The 2010 BMW 335d Sedan can zoom from 0 to 60mph within 6.0 seconds, thereby making it the fastest passenger car powered by a diesel engine in the US.
