So you'd save that expensive at 100k miles, slightly offset by having to fill urea after 50k free maint. Does anyone know if 335d's extended maint. or warranty cost the same as 335i? |

| This program just came in today from Bimmer’s Headquarter that 335D’s price is off a few thousands starting April 1, 2009(sounds like April fool’s day). Too bad, I got my 335D with the specific options on 27th March. For a few days’ wait, I actually could have saved 3k for the car! As a diesel nut, I knew I couldn’t pass the awesome 35D engine. Except the PDC, I got all the options available, the car feels as light as Honda S 2000 with much faster, more stable acceleration, by comparing the 08 750Li I got, the 335Xi and 535Xi I drove before, for me the 335D is the keeper! I never feel so easy on the traffic by seating on the car seat, especially on the traffic lights. To many folks here, the D engines are for the dirty trucks only, and this is a good thing for the diesel engines lovers, and that is why Bimmer made the better offer to move the slow sale 335D. Again, I should have wait a few more days for such big buck saving. | |

So that means that it goes from merely being OBSCENELY EXPENSIVE to being just Obscenely Expensive? With just sport pack and cold weather pack we are at $48,000. Insane.

Replying to: ruking1 (Apr 01, 2009 7:19 pm) Here are the impressions that are so obvious: 1) The exhaust tail pipes look still clean on both sides after 211 miles driving, by comparing, the left side pipe of 335xi, 535xi and 750Li will be dark after 50 miles on the road, the pipe on the right side always look cleaner on these three cars; I guess Bimmer designs the left side pipe to exhaust most the time, the 35D engine does on two sides evenly. 2) The IDrive is much better and easier to use on 09 models, by comparing the 18” performance RFT on the 335D, even with sport suspension on the chase, doesn’t feel as bumpy as the RFT on 07 335xi, and this is a big improvement. 3) The inside lay out from the instrument clusters to the fold back seats (the seats actually can fold flat, not like the 535xi’s which fold only up to 90%), the touch open and close comfort access system is a huge step forward by comparing the 08 750Li, just slightly touch on the front handles on middle to open and on the right end to close, instead of grappling to open and push the handle to close for the 7er. 4) The ground clearance is the matter which concerns me the most, I got bad taste from the S8’s 3.7” stupid low clearance, it got the scratches all over on the front chins after a few weeks on the road, the data from 09 April Car and Driver magazine says the ground clearance for 335D is 5.7, but I don’t think this is correct measurement, as I put 5” stick under the bottom, the lowest front I got 4.2 to 4.5, the good news is I haven’t seen any scratch under the front yet. As a diesel nut, I have been wishful, if the V10 in my Touareg TDI would be in the bays of A6 or A8, but the V10 TDI is heavy as hell. In a sense, the dream has come true for the 35D in a sedan form, still, the engine would serve better in 5er or 7er, by now, I am happy what I got the 335D, together with my 04 Passat TDI, I will keep it for a long while.
