335d (not mapped)
Discussion
My Dad has owned his 335d for the last 4 years when he got it from just a year old. Bought it unseen from Park Lane dealership in London and a guy drove it all the way up to Aberdeen, and took his Mk5 Golf GTI (which he owned from new for 4 years also) back down as part-ex. He was looking to get a 997 911 Carrera 4 but realised he is sitting in traffic most of the time and went for the opposite car in a brand new 2.2 diesel Evoque (the shame) which he collects next week.
Went out for a quick drive last night and took a few pictures before he hands it to the garage. Although I'd prefer a manual, the auto box is great, there is a slight delay when you put your foot down, the kick down is immense and the engine makes a lovely growl - you forget it's a diesel. The mapped version must be the fastest car in the world after all ;-) Definitely doesn't feel its size either.

Black suits it well, LCI rear lights would freshen it up a tad

Nice looking 335d that, and as a previous owner of two of them, I strongly advise you ignore the crap on here with regards to the remap and get it done.
You will not regret it, I assure you
Except you haven't read the OP, as he says it's going back and looks like an Evoque will be coming to replace it.You will not regret it, I assure you
Cheers guys. He is going to miss it, says it's the best car he has ever owned. Don't think much has went wrong with it either in the last 4 years.
The Abarth failed it's first MOT so back down to Edinburgh to get the front suspension arms so it can pass, luckily done under warranty a few days before it expired and a free re-test. Now warranty is expired I no longer have to take it from Aberdeen to Edinburgh for servicing, although I have done the last 3 oil changes on it. Non-Esseesse winter wheels on at the moment and didn't put my centre caps on due to faulty clips, meaning they would just fall off. Still love it
