Have owned my 335d F31 for 2 years now, covering 42k trouble free miles in that time. Mix between City and Motorway I’ve averaged 33mpg over the 2 years (quite a heavy foot I will admit). Genuinely does put a smile on my face every single day without fail. Still feels as though I only just bought it.. Highly recommend it to anyone contemplating one.

i love it when someone is honest about bmw reliabiliity. they get so much bad rep from the people who buy them cheap on high mileage and abuse them daily and dont service them. its just like you said - if you service them and look after them they are reliable. ive got a manual 220d, its a 2017 but got it december 2022 with 15k miles on it, its now on 36k and soaked up those miles issue free, but is stuck mostly doing town driving while im studying; however, once im finished it'll most likely be doing something like 40k miles a year, and its such a good comfortable car for it. something like an m340d is on my radar for when it eventually gets replaced in probably about 4 years time

My Grandads had an F32 35d for nearly 3 years now and I still much prefer it over my Mums partners remapped Focus ST way better on fuel too and not far off the E82 120d he had beforehand, cant beat the immense torque of a diesel and I do love a 6 cylinder diesel I can see myself owning one at some point.

@ianmush6278 4 ай бұрын

They truly are beautiful machines. I settled for the 2017 430D xdrive as it was much better specced than the 35d I was also looking at. It came with wireless apple car play as standard, memory seats, sun roof, the digital dashboard (ITS AMAZING!). I don’t regret it one bit. Thing is an absolute weapon. Next up I’ll probably try to get my hands on the m440d before they outlaw diesels

435d is boring af to drive, you don't even feel the speed because of how well refined it is - for the same money look at a 435i/440i/335i/340i or M140i. Might not be as torquey but are waaay more fun to drive and actually make a decent sound too. Power delivery is everything, and these diesels are just too smooth to put a smile on your face.

@reddragon1572 4 ай бұрын

I have the 335d x drive. It is honestly a superb car. If you want rwd, all you have to do is flick it a bit and plant and it will slide with the torque. Not that I do this mind, but I know it can l, if provoked. Especially in wet conditions. It's traction in the wet still amazes me. It will also do under 11s to 100mph, which not so long ago was regarded as quick. Overtaking is a joke. Had people try and accelerate once I am passing them but not once had anyone succeeded with this shitty move in 3 years. Zf8 is smooth as silk. Engine sounds decent for a diesel too. Long journeys at 70mph will see you 50+mpg. If BMW made the m340d with a noticeable jump in performance, I would be getting one, but I fancy the m340i once I am in the position to change mine. The only thing I don't like are the brakes. They ideally could do with a better set up. Or and no way does it have only 313bhp, must be at least 340

Can update my previous post we’ve been to Llandudno today and still got 49.8mpg in sport and in 7th mostly can deffo get more then the 53mpg we’ve done in Eco Pro and comfort still believe 60mpg is possible if you really try, my grandad and I have both come to the conclusion that as long as you keep the revs down the difference isn’t as much as you would think.

@paulyoung22 2 ай бұрын

60 is easily possible. Eco mode, keep around 62 mph (100kmh) and I get 60 in mine on motorway runs. Conversely, it's crazy on B roads.

I’d say there’s maybe something wrong. I’ve ran premium tyres (Goodyear Asy 6) all round, and also budget Accelera’s all round and it’s been flawless when it comes to grip, in the wet or dry. As for the motorway I have found driving in standard comfort setting most beneficial for fuel consumption, I never touch eco pro anymore. Usually motorway I’m getting 38mpg minimum and that’s with having fun putting my foot down a lot

You keep talking about how this will "easily" do over 50mpg but that's just dreaming. I've never known anyone with any BMW 6 cylinder Diesel to get 40mpg as an overall average, yeah you can get 40+ on a run with cruise control set to 70 or less but you won't see 50 at over 60mph and that's with the engine and gearbox nice and warm, on cold starts these engines will be doing more like 20mpg. That's something people don't consider when buying a car with a big Diesel engine, it takes ages to warm up and until it does it's using just as much fuel as a petrol. Fuel consumption is good relative to the performance on tap but nobody in their right mind will buy this car to cruise at 60mph all day when you can do that with a 1.6 and *actually* get 50+mpg easily, not to mention that it might be good on fuel but won't be a cheap car to maintain overall.

@ronniep9272 Ай бұрын

Yes well said. Around town my 330D does about 30mpg, it only goes over 40mpg if the drive is over 20 minutes with very little traffic. I've only seen it do 50mpg when doing 50mph in a controlled speed zone.
