    I somehow completely forgot to talk about efficiency, which was a huge reason why I chose the 335D. Rough averages are 36 highway and 22 city, which are very respectable numbers. I also regularly see 550+ miles to the tank.

    These cars tear up the engine mounts pretty easy with all their torque. A simple JBD set at 85-90 will get you about 300 HP with around 485 lb. torque and 0-60 in about 5.0 sec. and a top speed of around 155.....all while still getting around 35 MPG on the freeway.

      Nice, My 2010 Sport white over saddle has 155k miles and is just now going through the delete process. Many many oil leaks, and the DEF system definitely straw that broke its back. Owned since new and with this delete, probably spent $10,000 in maintenance and repairs over the past 12 years. Great cars, can not find anything that feels as good, is as economical (got 741 miles on one tank - highway only) is as power full or looks as good as an E90 d. My personal opinion.

    love the base models.. no sport suspension, softer springs ( combined with Bilstein HD's is a perfect combo.. not too harsh not too soft ) Simple 225/45/17 tires all around which are cheap and plentiful to replace and they are able to be rotated so they last longer. No goofy center screen which is horribly outdated and no annoying as fuck idrive. Straight forward dash which is reminiscent of older BMW's.. Most people are obscessed with having all the options without really focusing on the functionality of them. I live in CA.. no need for heated seats or steering wheel. Navigation on these is wy outdated and with google maps who needs it? Sport seats ARE nice but kill your ass/hips if you are anything other than a waif. The only options I want is fold down rear seat and the harmon kardon system. I dont want a sunroof, or xenon adjustable headlights because they just break. In fact just about every option on these cars does break and is $$$$$ expensive to fix. The beauty of this car is the engine. True diesel fans understand this

    • @christopherdobbins5123
      @christopherdobbins5123 2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for that insight. I have been thinking the few thinks I want from the sport are just options I can add. The upgraded suspension is not even worth mentioning since it is old and needs updating. I was thinking the paddle shifters are important. But honestly how hard is it to reach down and shift? Those wheels are fly but that is no biggy to swap. I am more interested in a sleeper anyway. I want to get the most hp I can while still being about to have I client (realtor) in the car and them not know it is tuned. Ps I have other vehicles to ride to take cleints in but it will probably happen.

    Nice Video. I currently own a 335d E92 SPORT DESIGN all options except sunroof from 2009 since 2014 157 000km and very happy with the car and its 286bhp Shall I replace it with a 335i E92 306bhp from 2007 with 107 000 km with all options including sunroof and 10 000eur + difference to add for getting the 335i or shall I keep my 335d? I'm looking for acceleration, sound, and reliability + longevity. And in case I keep my 335d, shall I go for a stage 1 or 2. I'm afraid to break parts due to the high 157 000 km mileage. I',m often on Germany Autobahn, Switzerland and mainly drive in Sweden and France on highways, not much in the city... any advice from anyone would be appreciated for keeping, replacing, or tuning my 335d :)

    Wrong on the turbos. They are not compounds. They are twin turbos with bypass valves. Our turbos have 4 stages:
    Stage 1: big turbo feeds the small turbo
    Stage 2: small turbo gets bypasses via bypass valve on exhaust side
    Stage 3: small turbo gets bypassed on the intake side
    Stage 4: only big turbo building boost.
