I’ve had my 335d touring for 6 months now and couldn’t be happier with it, does everything with ease and I’m getting 36 mpg with very little motorway use.
Hows the reliable compared to non diesel bmw ?
I’ve never owned a petrol BMW so I can’t comment
@@great4ever845 way better. Had a petrol 335i and I only got 17 mpg city. 335d getting 26
Its a great B road overtake car! 4 cars? Only have 100ft clear road on the other side. No problem. There is a problem, end up doing 90mph after the overtakes lol.
@@ImSenju 26?? thats 15 less than what most get
The most underrated car ever! Absolute daily monster.
I got a 335d 2015 3 years ago from a BMW dealer, with 25k on the clock for under £20k, which I've just traded in for a newer 335d.... First time I've ever gone for the same car on trade in as it ticks all my boxes.
It's not the fastest car I've owned, nor the most comfortable or best looking... But as an all rounder it's the best car I've ever driven and does 0-60 just 0.2 seconds slower than the 5 litre supercharged v8 XKR I had before it....which is crazy as it's a diesel!
Any issues with it ? I’ve heard about the timing chains …
Thanks for this review, bought my 335d f31 at the weekend based on past experience owning a 330d e92 and a few little reviews like these and have to say im over the bloody moon with it. 19 plate with only 25k on it as well 😃👍 cheers pal.
Hey buddy, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking. I'm picking a 2017 335d next weekend for £24k 31k mileage, feels as if I'm paying a bit too much
Excellent motors. My parents had one from new but traded it for a merc last year, and when I had a go in it I thought it was a brilliant car. As my mum was the main driver she didn't drive it fast at all, and could rech over 60mpg combined mileage which is also insane. I used to have a 2009 model though not xdrive and could easily get 45mpg+ with mixed driving. Just great all round family cars.
My Grandad has a 435d and im seriously impressed with how refined the engine is, its actually very quiet the MPG is very impressive and Ive no doubt it could get into the 60s if you really tried, impressive for a 3.0 twin turbo diesel with xDrive with the 4 series being quite a big car as well. Personally its a no brainer over the 20d if you can afford the extra cost.
Brilliant having the 2 cameras, an parking a true review bravo
Got a F31 335d... remapped to 400bhp. I love it , and easy keeps pace with 440i and 140i
should have put the transmission into sport mode as well, completely changes the shift speed (Even in Sport/sport+) I went from a 440bhp 590nm M240i to an F30 335d like this one. 1/4 mile times are quicker with the 335d just down to the xdrive. Throw a tune on it and you'll be laughing
And alpina flash gears
Don’t forget the easy 40mpg you can get. More if you take it easy on motorway.
i drove 380m to scotland late night, early hrs in mine average 70mph mainly motorway. still had 370m in the tank
How much is road tax
Good sensible review. A pleasure to watch.
For anyone that has a long commute, the 35d engines are great as used in a daily car.
I used to have an E60 535d and, even though it had very similar power (when standard) as my current diesel Jaguar, it was a much quicker car.
I’ve had mine a year. It’s got a stage 1 map plus XHP gearbox stage 2 map which makes it shift much better. Car still surprises me how quick it pulls. With the stock map in D, the car will pull away in 2nd only.
What power is it running now?
@@lewdyson4744 370bhp at 700nm
I've a 535d remapped to 370hp and gearbox remap as well. I've only been overtaken once on the road at that was an M6 who was seriously going for it! Great, great fun. 35mpg average and I drive it as fast as conditions/road allows 😂
Are they reliable ? Any issues with timing chains ? Also I’ve noticed the tax is nearly £600 compared to £190 per year with the 30d
Map the car to around 370-380 stage 2 map on gearbox, lowering springs on and get rid of the run flats for some ps4 tyre's and it will be better than the 440i 😊
I've done that to 435d 😚
Hows it better then 440i if u stage 2 440i its about 470bhp 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@logansam4763 it’s got a lot more torque though…
@@Ldotbruv565 Still slower
@@tavnikcity3741 ‘the Hare & the tortoise’ it’s slower but the 440i will run out of fuel a lot quicker than the 335d, a lot quicker.
I run a 635d with 179k and a stage 2 remap. Feels so much quicker than my E39 M5. Such a shame it doesn't sound the same.
I believe you can make it sound like an M5..Well in the cabin anyway by playing with the ASD settings.
Obviously his 440i guzzler is his favorite lol, the 335d is very underated.
shocked by the 5 mpg if I can get that on my 20 mile commute each way on the Motorway I am a very very very happy man. this would be a sick upgrade from my A3 sline 2.0 tdi for sure!
It actually baffles me that BMW put manually adjustable seats in this car (or any of theirs, for that matter.)
Great video!
You also have to pay extra for folding rear seats. And the base stereo is a complete insult. Way worse than a base Golf.
My 435d GC has electric seats which I thought was great until you realise you only ever set them once and forget you got them. Spend the money on another option imo. 😄
For a minute there I thought we had reviewed the 440i, sure he was driving the 335d tho 🤔🤣
best thing about it, is its in the same insurance group as the 316i
Yeah not the same tax bracket though nearly £600 per year
imo as we live in the UK the 335d is better than the 440i in every way for day to day driving, my 335d is mapped to 400BHP and 760NM and believe me you need a fast car to keep up!
Dpf and egr still on ? No issues ?
@@shazjawaid7353 Yes all fine, I have sold the 335d and now have a 640d GC and it’s running the same power with no issues, believe me the car is very quick…one thing I would say it a breathing mod is preferred!
@@BH-tf5zz i have m140i stage 1 at litchfield 430bhp guarantee it would beat your smoke train diesel
@@logansam4763 Nice, I’m sure it would considering the size and weight difference, sounds like you’ve got a weapon!
@@BH-tf5zz getting down pipe intercooler then going for stage 2 and XHP3 gearbox map hopefully looking around 475bhp figures only thing is the traction have to save up for LSD,
You should have reviewed this in Mexico without the camera on the speedometer !
😂
Was there a challenge as to how many times you could mention the 440i?
I know.....313bhp....53mpg....640nm....4.8 seconds in the wet. Fuck the 440i...its not worthy of being compared to this 3.0l diesel engine imo. What BMW have created is incredible and everyone who goes in my 435d are gobsmacked and terrified in equal amounts, and I probably save 60-80 pm on fuel costs.
Nice spec ! Nice review !
Nice video. Being a 335d these are actually fitted with SE springs, which probably doesn't help with the impression of weight. Either way, I'm looking forward to picking mine up on Friday!
Yup, look into Acs springs, cheap but good upgrade.
With the money I saved in fuel over the 340i I bought Eibech springs and Bilstein dampers. It totally transformed the way the car drives.
I hate driving eco pro.. If i bought such a car i bought it for a reason, to drive and enjoy the tork speed etc , i will do my video how to drive even in town !!
Getting mine in 2 days
Good video, it is a shame that they didn't make the 335d minus X drive and with proper M sport springs rather than the soggy SE ones.
Yes these 2 are big drawbacks. The springs you can fix. XDrive nothing you can do...
BMW's should be rear drive by law.
There are 335d's without x drive here in Germany. Where are you located? Usa?
I am in the UK. It was likely a Right hand drive thing then.
Clearly not a fan of xDrive, I've owned my 335d for nearly four years now and I'm a big fan
It's good for everyday driving but it just doesn't feel as pure as a rwd bmw.
How’s the reliability?
Enjoyed that, nice review!
thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Music in video is very loud
It’s quicker than 440i the 335d is 4.8 0-60 and the 440i is 5 second 0-60
Likely only because of the Xdrive launch
My 14 plate 435d is staring to show its age now at 110k. Numerous creaks and rattles abound. Eibach springs sort these right out , especially if you have the woeful adaptive suspension. I won’t be mapping mine, plenty fast enough to get in trouble in, and mine burns oil as it is - as much as my Hondas used to! I can’t think of anything to replace it with so I’m hanging on to mine. New BMWs just don’t appeal to me. As for economy - I think if you do a commute to and from an office twice a day or lots of motorway miles - you might see 35-40mpg. Mine regularly returns 30mpg average mixed (and sometimes enthusiastic) driving. Disagree re the turn in - I’d say x-drive actually offers superior turn in once you learn how to drive to its abilities - initial turn in is slightly more vague, but the front bites soon enough and you can get on the power way earlier in the 4wd cars. Getting in the 4wd car after rwd is quite odd - different driving style required but agreed rwd more playful.
Good❤
Great car but I'd pay the extra and have a 535d
Nice review! Im holding out for a 435d gran coupe in the spec I want! Need to work on the push and pull steering tho😉
435d GC xdrive is a great car.. I bought mine just over a year ago. Had the engine and gearbox remapped and a larger intercooler.. Not much stays with it!
@@jayturner2917 what mpg u getting mate?
@@18kingen I get between 42 mpg and 50 mpg on average
Has anyone had any timing chain issues with these cars ?
Of course is still good is not renault or whatever brand..exist ... i don't want another one at all
23k , Iv just bought the same car and year for 26k. 9 months later 🤦🏻 (COVID)
Is not boring😊 if you drive sporty
Are door handles also squeaky crap in your model?
I am interested in buying a 335d touring, but the endless comparisons to the "440i" in this video are meaningless as I've never driven one.
Then check out our review on the 440i 😉
meaningless is not the correct term here.
Any car drives with 70 miles / h . I like speeding all the time , because im mentality sick hahahha
What's the difference between diesel and regular gasoline cars
Torque
@@johnw2259 Gross oversimplification and not always true.
@@BigUrielit is a difference though 😂
One uses diesel and the other uses gasoline...
I got this car... Is anyone having issues with the paddle shifters working intermittently, and sometimes when you down shift the gears go up instead
Sounds like a problem with the throttle control, have you scanned the car?
Quality is fine until they break down. Then its dollars 💵
That’s the problem mate, very rare to break down I’d say the weakest point is the xdrive.
@@piovo5222 ive heard theyre pretty reliable
@@liamlindsay1458 yea they are just compared to the other parts of the drivetrain, it’s the weakest point. Even when abused you’ll only see issues over 100k miles. Just gotta service transfer case.
The rear bumper has had a cheap and bad paint job
Not one indicator was used.
I’m sure it’s single twin scroll turbo not a bi turbo
335d has a smaller and a larger turbo. The single twin scroll turbo is in the 335i and 340i i believe.
@@ParagonCarsLondon and 330d and any smaller diesel 328/320d 318d 316d.... have a single twin scroll turbo 335d has 2 turbos and x550d or 550d has 3 turbos
One turbo.
335d has two turbos. 330d has one turbo.
@@ParagonCarsLondon my bad
Yeah the 335d just pulls all the way. Moving from the small turbo to the big torbo.
