I'm looking to buy a 335D coupe in the next few months.
Currently have an Abarth 595 Competizione, E46 328i (soon to be a track car) and a E34 525i, Mk1 MX5 and recently sold a E46 320D Touring. Realised that none of these are particularly great for long commutes (comfort mainly) so looking for a 335D.

Budget £8k max - I realise this will be early models, some with high mileage.

What are they like to live with? Any common problems?

Thanks

Smuler

I had the petrol 335 , so no comment on engine but I found E92, although losing some of the steering feel of the E46 ,to be very comfortable providing you avoid RFTs, though my best combo was a square set up of 17s on Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres , car was comfortable and light recapturing some of the E46 nimbleness.

I know after my ownership it had a fail MOT on light , beam adjustment but I only had injectors as a fault , was very reliable. Ran it to 85k miles.
Do you need diesel , you might get a newer petrol for your budget.
