Hard to beat for sure.

nope i own this one (2015), its a beast, even at stock. maybe the new m touring would be better. The car has a big downside (which is also a big plus). But owning one of these is a big risk on losing your driver license :P if you're not in germany.

I personally think a golf r estate is the best all rounder I own one so iam abit biased.

You can tow a trailer, get high MPG when needed, be a grand tourer, be a van, a track weapon and more in just one package. It does everything! Thanks for the support

I've checked and the one I want is a 2016 X drive shadow edition it's going for 20k-30k

I think you need to get your car checked out. With a ZF8 and a 3.0 diesel lump, it should be effortless at 70mph

Even more likely there's an issue there that needs to be addressed. Get your car seen by a mechanic

They are crazy stage 1 tune paired with stage 3xhp gearbox map no one is having you at the lights and I mean no one

The F3x in any form is a great platform and as long as you've got a 6 cylinder engine, you've made the right choice if you ask me!

Thank you for the kind comment!

Lots of love for Abs! ❤️

Sure, can you be specific at what times? I'm always open to constructive criticism

@@CarNitty for example at 2:10 the lighting changes completely, maybe due to the western changing, but it should be correctable in post production. Theres also a few times while your driving, where the lighting changes abruptly. Its small things but i think its worth looking into. Might just be a setting in the camera needs changing. Love the content in the vid though spot on.

That's because these clips are recorded one at a time. The sky had gotten cloudy so the sun disappeared. I tried amending lighting etc but I cannot replicate natural sunlight

Plenty of speed, torque and a big boot for traffic cones and other materials!

@@CarNitty exactly!

Most forces use the newer 330d, Surrey police years back used to use the 335D but now it's 330d maximum really, shame that BMW have pulled out of the authorities market. I'm in the police and we now have Toyota Corolla estate response cars and Volvo V90 estates for the advanced ("Class 1") pursuit drivers.

New Oxford Dictionary will be released very soon with my addition!

The car was on 112k miles at that point. Now on 125k and Abs is very much an "enthusiastic" driver to say the least!

Soon welcome you back on!

Stay away from SUVs - they're just a fad created by manufacturers to sell more units!

@@CarNitty yeah true thats why i went for the saloon the perfect package planning a europe trip end of September with it, will be good to see its potential esp on the Swiss alps

It's in Essex county

go for the 335d mate the n57t1 tends to have problems in the heavier cars and it's going to be rapid in the 3 series. The most fun. But if comfort is more important to you ofc the 5 series. Watch out that the car has had all its oil changes on time

335d F30 - to be as low-key as possible 335d F31 - for the boot space 435d F32 - same as the F30 without needing 4 doors 435d F33 - hardtop convertible up enjoy all year round when the weather's good 435d F36 - the better looks of the 4 series with a 3 series practicality 535d F10 - for a large motorway cruiser 535d F11 - same as F10 but more boot space 640d - my favourite out of all them. The 4 series looks but the 5 series comfort All N57D30 engines

I'd be tempted too but they're not very common with the right spec etc

In other words a twin scroll turbo which has been the case for all turbocharged BMW/Mini cars except for the N54, M twin turbo engines and 335d/M340d etc

I'm glad you enjoyed this video and it's helped your buying decision!

That makes sense 👍🏼

Typically speaking, a stage 1 tune will never cause any harm to a car. Manufacturers undetune their engines so a stage 1 utilises its potential hence why no upgraded are needed. Anything beyond a stage 2 require parts to be upgraded or fitted. I'd say if you do a stage 1, upgrade your air box or something to aid cooling as heat is the biggest issue with pushing and sort of power

@@CarNitty cheers bud..i find the car fast enough really but just having that extra for a amg 45 would be nice.

@@bobmcneill1104 it's completely up to you. If the car is enough, leave it alone. If you want that extra push, you know it's there!

@@CarNitty thanks for the reply mate..will kerp an eye out for your videos..👍

I've just got a 435d and gearbox is rated to 700nm so not sure about doing a stage 1 as it will take it over the 700nm

The owner picked his car for around that market with just over 100k miles. As it's a diesel, mileage isn't such a big issue for some. Check out the rest of our content and if you like that you see, consider subscribing

i paid 20k for mine, 45k miles and 2016 plate - Right now the same car is worth 23k even with 20k extra miles on the clock.

This 335d is also a categorised vehicle which also affects value and at the time has 110k on the clock so it was at the lower end of the spectrum

I got a 67 plate saloon one of these in the same colour, December 2022, with 59,000 miles on it from Big motoring world. Car was worth roughly £20k at the time but it was on sale for £17,300. I paid an extra £1,300 for a 3 year warranty which came in handy as it had a few faults that needed sorting, and the total bill to Big Motoring World was £1,400 (£1k parts including various sensors and an SZL module and £400 labour). In total I paid £18,600 for it. At the time it was a right bargain and it was literally the only one in the entire country of that age, mileage and condition. Couldn't find a single other one. Next cheapest was about £19,000 with no warranty and 10k more miles. Only downside I found was it was a basic spec, leather seats but not electric and not heated, no powerfold mirrors or adaptive cruise control just standard cruise control, smaller business nav screen and no reverse camera, but had parking sensors. I ended up retrofitting an OEM BMW 8.8 inch touchscreen display myself and coded it using BimmerCode and an MX OBD tool. Currently the car is on Michelin Primacy 3 RF's at the front and Michelin PS4 Zero Pressure at the rear, plan to change that to 4 standard PS4's in the next few months which apparently is a "night and day" difference. Unlike the previous owner I'm actually looking after this car (previous owner had run flat tyres but didn't bother having TPMS sensors fitted, which is actually illegal, and the tyre pressure monitoring system wouldn't work until I bought some sensors and had them fitted). In the 9 months I've had it, it's had a full service after 4 months in April this year, in August this year it had a major service (2 years/24,000 miles) and a brand new replacement windscreen as the existing one had some noticeable stone chips in the driver's line of sight that glinted in the sun.

Just make sure they've been regularly serviced so either every year or 6000-8000 miles. Check for any oil leaks in the engine bay and check the underside of the car if possible to see the state of the car and again, any residue of leaks. They're great cars but no doubt they attract owners who will no doubt use the performance on tap so try to get a well looked after variant

@@CarNitty every 6-8k!?

I think manufacturer says 12k miles but I dread to think of a car running on the same oil for that long. 8-10k is my minimum but you're onto a winner if it's every 6k

@@CarNitty 10 or annually for me. Cost a hell of a lot to be servicing one of these things every 6-8k!

Just an oil change. They're diesels so likely they cover a lot of miles in a year. An annual service may not be enough

Chain should be replaced around 100k mark

@@CarNitty no thanks I’ll stick to Lexus 😀

My M135i is stock so only running 320BHP + 450NM of torque. It's RWD with no LSD either whereas the 335d is stage 1 with approx 400BHP + 750NM of torque and has an xDrive so it's a no brainer

The cla45 😉 😜

@@adzhoque3824 micra

Literally the car that can do it all;

😂

Funnily enough, the owner of this car has done exactly that. An X drive delete and he can switch the car into rear wheel drive mode. I can smell another follow up review...

They really are the Jack of all trades, aren't they!

I 100% agree. It has this shooting brake look that looks beautiful

I'd say it depends on what matters to you. Mileage/fuel economy + power - 335d Badge and power - M140i Space, subtlety and power - 340i

Absolutely. No "talk" needed!

It's not about where, it's when. Please look at the upload date. The prices were accurate at the time of the recording

Carbon isn't cheap. Carbon pieces cost around £300 a pop average for splitter, sideskirt, diffuser and spoiler. He did more stuff later such as OEM ambient lighting and changed the seats and door cards to an individual colour.

I don't think you can go wrong with the 30d. Same engine, just down a turbo and if a 320d is enough for most, the 330d will be more than ample. Manual is very rare in these F Series cars overall due to low uptake.

No manual option in the F series 30 or 35 d's

Sounds about right. Manual is seen as a low trim option in the F series so not surprised it's not a thing

Manual doesn't suit a narrow diesel power band IMO.

You say that, but I have the saloon version of this on a 67 reg and the ZF 8 speed automatic gearbox is amazing.

He wore the mask to conceal his identity. He was happy to have his car reviewed but he wanted to maintain a certain level of privacy

And they're good on fuel. All round excellent machines

@@CarNitty just found your channel. Subbed. Great stuff bro. I'm also a Japanese car fan 👍

Thanks for the support and glad you're liking the content. Plenty of varied content to come from me

@@CarNitty 🙏🙏

Most forces don't use these and have never done so. A lot of forces used the 330i or 330d, I know Surrey police used the 335D for a brief stint a few years back but not anymore. Unfortunately BMW have pulled out of the authorities market, I'm in a British police force and we've now been given Toyota Corolla Hybrid estates (Great!... Not) as response cars and a Volvo V90 Estate for the advanced (also known as "Class 1") initial and tactical phase of pursuit trained drivers.

Not as hard as the lineup of saloon, coupe, hatch and estate gang 👀

Maybe that needs to happen in real life

And a M3 will smoke that. Your point?

At that moment in time, Adz used to own a CLA45. He and Abs are close friends in real life and he's also a close friend of mine so that was an inside joke he was making

@@CarNitty Haha, I understand. Just picked up a 435d and feeling a little protective over it :)

The N57 is a serious engine. I wouldn't let anyone faze me if I owned one 🤣

He wore it as he feels uncomfortable being on camera with his face shown.

The mask was worn to conceal Abs identity

@@CarNitty I will let him off then, good video and hope you are well.

@@chonnerone2964 it was too conceal his identity as he didn't want to be on camera
