Yep there's a 7% weight difference.
In gear times where torque at the wheels rules
4th Gear M135i 40-60mph 2.4 secs, 330d 2.6 secs
4th Gear M135i 50-70mph 2.5 secs, 330d 2.9 secs
5th Gear M135i 50-70mph 3.3 secs, 330d 3.5 secs
6th Gear M135i 50-70mph 4.4 secs, 330d 4.8 secs
In Kickdown where the power is king.
40-70mph M135i 3.0 secs, 330d 4.1 secs
50-90mph M135i 5.3 secs, 330d 7.2 secs.
Staying and lugging in gear at low rpm the M135i still has the advantage, squeeze a bit further and use kickdown and the performance difference is easy to see.
