SPORTS AUTO - M SPORT BRAKES Right then! Imagine this: the 2019 BMW 3 Series 335d xDrive M Sport Shadow Edition — quite a mouthful, yes, but what a machine. It's the sort of car that wears a sharp suit but packs a pair of steel-toed boots underneath. Under the bonnet, there's a snarling 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, hurling out nearly 310 horsepower — that’s enough to make your morning commute feel like a qualifying lap. And with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive, it grips the road like a dog with a new bone, even in the wet. Being the M Sport Shadow Edition, it’s dripping in brooding black trim and darkened details — the sort of car Batman might drive… if he had a dog to take for a walk and a family to get to school. And being an estate, there’s boot space aplenty, which means it’s practical and properly quick. In short: it’s a diesel-powered family wagon, disguised as a road-going missile with German tailoring.
