335d's cost big bucks to fix when they go wrong. Dont think I would buy one without paying out for a warranty if I am honest so buying one at the top of your budget with no contingency would be a bit foolish IMO

Check e90 post for info very good site need to go to the UK section though

This would be a typical project thread if someone on CS bought one

Week 1:Bought a 335D

Week 2:Fitted special black kidney grills and painted the wheels not anything but silver

Week3:Got a remap and beat a scooby

Week4:Can't afford proper tyres so bought replica wheels with 2nd hand tyres

Week5:Something has broken and i can't afford to fix it properly

Week6: Bmw 335d for sale

I was waiting for someone to compare two other cars so I could say the same thing .

It's funny when people do project threads about their standard cars but I don't see the problem with that in general.

Should be nothing wrong with buying a nice new(er) car and leaving it alone?

It might arouse a giggle from me if it was true or had any sort of fact based joke in there, but you guys really haven't got a clue

This is the worse 335D thread ever.

Anyone serious about 335D vs 335i vs E46 M3 vs E92 M3 then there are loads on PH.

I am currently weighing up the E46 M3 vs 335i option as possible next car. Probably the former as I wil be city centre living soon, so weekend car only.

Petrol turbo engine, downpipe and remap or something = as fast as a Gallardo! Check youtube for evidence.

I was having a look at these last night and it seems like you need to spend £16k to get one that's under 80k miles
