Oh this is similar to the 540d or any of the 40d products from BMW. It was single model year (2018) production due to emission laws lol.

I'm tryna find a 540d...

The facelifted CX-5 also got a stick-shift for one model year, but it only comes in the base GS guise.

I need the D(iesel)
That's expensive. IIRC the diesel really didn't return much better fuel economy, and the turbo is the better buy.

The stick is also FWD only, you can't get AWD which makes it a bit of a lame duck.

I think it was only available for 1 year before Mazda gave up on it - they had to cripple the performance a bit for emissions reasons and therefore the performance was worse than the turbo yet it $5k more.

The euro motor was famous for headgasket issues, the US version lost another 20hp/40lbft.

It got like 10% better EPA/NRCAN mileage than the gas version with a huge upcharge, did not sell.

sounds like it would be an absolutely insane 1 year only vehicle to purchase

no disrespect the the poster, on the surface it's pretty cool - but this must be one of the all time bad buys of the thread

mazda must have been out of their minds. passenger vehicle diesel is dead

Mazda's drivetrain strategy over the past 10-15 years has been largely that of a mad scientist who likes to zig when everyone zags.

While everyone else goes with a gas 3L turbo six that make anywhere from 300-550hp they go with a 3.3L gas single turbo that makes only 340hp and a 3.3L diesel turbo AND they plan on releasing a NA 3.3L gas engine. All hooked up to a in house designed 8 speed auto with a wet clutch. And then there's the PHEV drivetrain hooked to a 2.5L four.

There's no reason for them to not just go with the flow (3L turbo) and then use the ZF8 HP tranny that everyone else uses.

Just the amount of R&D dollars (for a tiny company) that went into something that should have been straightforward is crazy. I hope and pray that they can survive cause I don't ever want the Miata to go away but I'd never buy shares in them cause they are a poorly run business.

bumps up tow capacity by another 1500lbs, nice
did they reinforce the tongue and extra cooling for the trans then?

Yah, if I'd go diesel used, I'd go with the trusted diesel cheaters - VW/Audi, they've been at it for a long time. Do they have a Q5 TDI?
And maybe even BMW as a gamble. This is the 328d (weak 180hp) version but I think there is a 335d 6 cyl (265hp) engine version.

Having owned a 2-year diesel unicorn, do not buy a 1-year diesel unicorn.

There is a Q5 TDI, not common though.

The E90 came in a 335d which is apparently a hoot.
The F30 only came in the 328d.

People that buy diesels typically know what they are doing and almost all of them have high mileage. No one buys a diesel to do 5k a year, except MAYBE the occasional X5 35d.

Most diesels worth their damn are going to have higher maintenance costs. They have much more oil capacity compared to their gas counterparts, and then some models you'll have the blueurea or DPF stuff to deal with. You really need to be piling on the highway mileage to make it work in your favour.

The V6 diesels tend to be a lot more troublesome - MB, FCA, Ford, GM all discontinued.

I4 diesel for piling on highway mileage in a passenger car is fine tho. Italian/German diesels only.

so the 335d only came in sedan here in NA and maybe the X5 SUV version? Saw a couple of Euro reviews of the BMW 335d wagon xdrive which apparently was the cat's meow!

yes - the X5's have the same M57 6 cyl diesel as the 335d

the build recipes for these motors are tried and true. do the deletes, get the tunes, maybe beef up the trans programming and cooling.

tuned 335d's will absolutely walk stock E9x M3's. Look for an msport and you've got an absolute bahnstormer on your hands.

the later 2L diesel doesn't compare at all.

iirc with just a downpipe, dpf delete, and flash tune, they can make 600+ ftlbs.

plus - a lot of times, the X5's especially come up as "mechanic's specials" that essentially get fixed by the deletes you want to do anyways.

there are killer deals on the diesel X5's sometimes. I know guys that have picked them up for a couple g's

E90 diesel guys seem to know what they have more - they're never that cheap. Id' rather have them though and never deal w a AWD BMW ever again.

There's also the G20 (2018) 540d that I mentioned earlier. It's the true successor to the M57 - the B57. 3L twinturbo straight six. Technically the successor is the N57, but it's only avail in the F10/F15 35d's in Canada.

The 2L diesel N57 (?) in the 28d's suck balls. Might as well get a normal car at that point.

I've been hunting for a 335d msport for the longest time. I almost pulled the trigger on the M3 drivetrain swapped one a few years ago, but ultimately bought the Type R instead. I've got trollface's problem - i refuse to pay the "market" price on these 300K KM 335d MSports...

I'll continue hunting for a 540d MSport instead.
