I have not seen one for less than 51k on floor. Add TTL (for here it is about 12%) and it goes to around 57k. A bit steep….

I was just going off the BMW website.

starts at mid 40’s (this test mule) and can reach 54K if you option it out like I did. worth every penny.

dot have a throttle body, correct, throttle – well yeah, they do.

Technically speaking it would be wrong to call the accelerator pedal on a diesel a throttle. Diesels never throttle incoming air – you just add more fuel to go faster. Gasoline engines on the other hand throttle the air and meter fuel in proportion to the volume of air your right foot allows. I stand by my original statement.

I recently purchased a (2009) 335d. Zero options. Got it for $40k. UNBELIEVABLE automobile!!! Have been averaging 38 mpg. This car is the future, today. I honestly can say this is *the* best car I’ve owned in my 55 years!

Congrats! I’d love to have one of these monsters in the barn. :) Did you happen to see our review video before you decided on the 335d?

Yes – I did see your review and it was part of the reason I went for the test drive. Thanks “mpg-o” for posting your vid.

i drive a 325d m-sport such an amazing car to drive and realy good on fuel

BMW NA is offering a $4500 credit for purchases/orders of the 335d made before August 31, 2009. So you can get one of these extraordinary cars for a good price. I got quotes for a fully loaded 335d that were quite a bit under 50K, so you could easily get a moderately equipped one for less than 40K.

Great review! I watched this, went and test drove the car, and ordered a fully loaded 335d to replace a 335i. Got the $4500 eco credit, and it’s cheaper than a comparable 335i. Now all BMW needs to do is market the car’s performance and economy better. And then bring the 320d, and both versions in the wagon!

you can still hear the diesel clatter… reduced, but you can still plainly and instantly tell it’s a diesel from a distance.

sweet ride, anyone notice the fuel cap said something like 85 percent biodiesel max? =) neato
Punisher2all on October 20, 2009 at 11:18 pm
so eco-friendly aside, which is better 335i or 335d?
kagolko on October 30, 2009 at 4:30 am
obviously d..

how does it handel in the weather? My concern is living in New England with snow and ice in the winter, how does all that torque affect traction? Any rear wheel drive slip and slide?
jhs277 on November 17, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Lot of BMW rwd diesel cars are used without any problems on European roads where weather is quite similar to that. Rwd and snow is a bad combination anyway. Don’t forget, computer keeps all that power under control.
Flexfuel306 on November 27, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Just buy snow tires. The car has 50/50 weight distribution. They’re fine in snow with the right tires.

335i : 0 to 100Km/h (=62.13 mile/h) in 5.6s and 5.5s with xDrive.
335d : 0 to 100Km/h in 6s.

Hi I wouldn’t choose this as your standard car in New England. I have had a 335d for the past year and whilst its a great drive in the dry, its scary in the wet and absolutely useless in the snow (even with snow tyres). Haven’t tried the 330XD but that could be a better option – or an audi. hope that helps.

Not a bad car. Nice diesel by BMW.
protlewski on March 31, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Man I want one of these, what a sweet daily.
wildbloodydragon on April 6, 2010 at 12:38 pm
I own a gas guzzling Camaro Z28 that does 0-60 in about 5.7 seconds.
If only I had the money for a 335d…

Europien cars are the best in the world :]
