335D M Sport- main issues to look for when buying..

[Silver993tt]

Will start to look at 335D M Sport models from 2006 onwards, so with regards faults and must have interior options what is there to look out for? Are there any major changes between 2006/2007 models?

After reading a couple of 335d threads the only thing you need to worry about is what cars you claim to have been quicker than on the road lol!!!!

If you search about on here you'll find out that some are prone to uneven wear on the tyres, usually on the upgraded 19" wheels, it seems to wear the tyre at an alarming rate. I have a 335d, had it now since April and have have nothing but priaes for it. Only issues ive had was indicator/repeater had condensation (warranty fix) and drivers door seal was leaking water in when i washed it (also warranty). I bought a MY06 car with 6 months BMW warranty left on it and have just extended it for its first year out of the full BMW warranty. I get 38mpg on a run on the motorway. Im happy with it on RFT's too as its only used for highways and holidays. Insurance was 285 fully comp. It has all the toys except electric seats, how many positions do i need

A good alround car

There is a red pipe down between the radiator and engine block (on the left hand side as you look at the car).
WhenI bought mine the previous owner explained that it should be completely clean but often is covered in a film for oil and dirt meaning a leak somewhere.
Check on E90Post, UK forum for more detailed information and pics.

check if it has been chipped. If it has, you won't be able to handle the power!

Mine was changed in the summer by BMW as it was a little grubby...

Watch for split 19" alloys according to Watchdog...BMW will not reimburse.

Firm suspension induces rattles. Watch out on higher mileage. I also fractured my suspension twice when driving on the motorway. It takes a fair bit of pounding on bumpy roads so do look under the car before buying one.
