BMW E91... oh no.... 335d!!!!

[Vladimir]

Next to the now sold (for a 110 Defender) Jimny:



Had it just over a year and love it but no it's NOT the fastest car in the World and yes it IS a diesel automatic estate ;-)

[Ozii]

Is it remapped?

[Chunkychucky]

LOVE that, real Q-car, much nicer without the M Sport kit. Should think that would probably get a few surprised looks in the traffic light grands prix from Barried-up Saxos and the like!

+1 Debagged and would be perfect

[Vladimir]

Debagged? Is that something to do with teabagging?!

I have been tempted to debadge it though...!

No plans to remap it - kicks out over 300bhp/440lbs-ft as it is (almost all kick out a fair bit more than stock power), and I plan to keep it for ages - remaps are great but I still don't completely trust the extra strain on the drivetrain. Plus I'm already shredding rear tyres in under 8k miles! Always been a bit anti modding except for upgrading stereo kit.

Cheers for kind comments! I spent ages looking for a non M Sport "sleeper" model!

[Vladimir Pukin]

I hope it's got sat-nav!

[Vladimir]

It has. But she's currently changing our two weeks old's nappy ;-)

Looks good, cruise in comfort! Plenty of power too, what's not to like

[Roadwork]

Beautiful car, and yes, much better as an SE than as an M-Sport. The connoisseurs choice!

Shameless plug I know, but this was my 335D review. I'm probably biased, though, having flogged BMWs for a living for two years.

Nice one roadwork! Well written!

I do have one vital "upgrade" on mine - non run flat tyres!

That's essential, not least because it means replacement rubber can be afforded by mortal man.

[Vladimir]

There was only a £40 per tyre difference. It was more the hateful crashiness and tramlining that got me riled. Conti Sport Contact 3s (non RFTs) are about 4234552355 times better. I have no issues spending on rubber - but I do when they are cr4p!

E92 offers no huge performance improvement, but more importantly lacks the vital "What the bloody hell was that?" factor that the E91 has. I know which I'd have.

[Bosshogg76]

Welcome back, perhaps you will stay longer than last time.

[Vladimir]

Boss - hi.

335d only available as an M Sport now. A real shame IMO.

[Big E 118]

Nice, top Q car.

I had a E91 335d as a courtesy car a few months back when I had my E92 325i, it was a very impressive car. Was dissapointed when I got back in the 325i!

Defo get rid of the run flats, they completely ruin the ride quiality IMO.

[Vladimir]

Big E - cheers. I got rid of the run flats within a few months. Already got through a set of rear tyres since then!

I do like your M3 CS - cracking motor!
