A New Friend Followed Me Home

Apologies for the awful cell phone pic, but that's life when it's dark and rainy

2010 335d - So much torque It's CPO with 40,000 miles. Overall it's in great condition and shall make for an excellent grocery getter.

Sorry. That is just plain unacceptable...

By ATG standards, you must pick up the car during daylight, take at least 13 pictures with a DSLR (no shitty cell phone pics), and also provide a video walkaround. Preferably with the diesel clatter in the background

Congrats on the mile muncher.

 

[halik]

Awesome, what kind of gas milage you're getting? Also $$?

 

[iamwiz82]

I haven't driven enough to get a good read, but I did reset it and saw 16.2MPG... Ha. Then again I was romping on it. I'm guessing I will see mid/high 30s since I regularly get more than EPA in my JCW MINI.

Price was $32,000 OTD. I could have done better, I think, but while I was there someone else came in who had an appt to see the car and was pissed that he missed his chance.

 

[halik]

Honestly I would be surprised the dealer was willing to deal a lot the price, the diesel cars are pretty rare, especially in midwest. I take it you got the 100K mile warranty?

It's this one right:

[iamwiz82]

Yep, that's the one. 100k warranty and it was just marked down from $35,900. It sat there for weeks. There was a rebate going on as well which assisted the price, but I will take what I can get .

 

[CrackRabbit]

Isn't Bavarian BMW a bit redundant?

Grats though, I diesel is the only way to go when buying a German car.

Awesome, looking at ebaymotors they got for around ~32K w/o warranty; nice deal. Time for you to get some winter wheels

 

[phucheneh]

335d? Neat.

I didn't even know they made that. I haven't seen a diesel BMW in forever.

OMG the Photoshopped photos on this link are hilarious to me. Just something about the way the car changes size in the same "room."

OP, nice car. I can't say I'm not a little jelly

 

[yhelothar]

Amazing car. My bro has one, the thing has so much torque, you rarely have to rev above 2k and you can feel the oomph. It's crazy how that beast gets gas mileage in the high 30s.

 

[hans007]

i've driven a 2011 335d. it has a ton of torque, its a very different feel than say a 328i. the possibility of going into illegal mode on streets is very high , since getting up to 70 or so seems so effortless.

i dont think it saves THAT much gas anymore. the guy i knew who haed one said he was averaging maybe 27-28ish

 

[Arkaign]

Nice! I find it sad that BMW cancelled the 335d. I guess not enough of those buyers really cared about fuel economy at all. 335i is faster and cheaper, so that sold much better. I still like the unique idea of the 335d though. Depending on the strength of the tranny, you could probably tow a large boat with it

 

[PhoKingGuy]

So you have the same gimped BT that I have then.

<----- Still bitter my almost perfect car with "non-enhanced blutetooth" can't stream off my phone.

 

[LTC8K6]

The pics show 9.6mpg...

Apparently the transmission is rated to 550+ lb-ft. The JBD is $279 for an extra 100 lbft as well.

The stock curve is amusing though:

Haven't tested it yet, but the UI is almost identical to my 2012 JCW and that I can stream off my phone without issue. Siri actually works better through it.

Press the CD button on the idrive controller, if it doesnt say Bluetooth then you cant. If you don't have BMW apps/connected drive then you don't have the combox necessary to do so. Such was a $400 option, stupid.

Ahh... I will have to check. The MINI has Connected so that would explain it.

Not bad at all.

 

[Ferzerp]

Do they have those pdfs for all cars?

 

[LTC8K6]

I don't think so. Only if they do a full test, and not always even then.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Nice! Love those things. I wish they'd made one with a manual, but in any case this is a great car.

 

[LTC8K6]

This is the newer version of the spec sheet. They have changed the look a lot.

Great car, I like... Of course it's not because of the picture that I say this. That is ATG fail for sure.

They are bringing a diesel version of the F30 (3 series) back into the US, probably a 320d (perhaps late 2013 or into 2014). Only problem is it won't have anywhere near the torque of the "old" 335d (the current european 320d has about 180hp and 280 ft/lbs).
