Replying to: ruking1 (Apr 20, 2009 9:21 am) Well one could argue that if you provide more fuel-efficient luxury gas or (same thing) cars that got double the gas mileage, everyone would just consume it twice as fast. The free market has this pathological quality to it on the upper end of consumer items.   Would the owner of a 335d drive his new spiffy car just as much he might his old 750iL?   You betcha he would (I would too). Why not, I can afford it.   This is why I find it a bit strange to push diesels in the luxury end of the market as an "economical" car. People who can afford such a nice car as a 335 can afford as much fuel as they require for their pleasure. The idea that this type of car is somehow beneficial to mankind is rather ephemeral.   Of course it is certainly beneficial to the person driving it. Beats a Yaris all to hell. And for those destined to drive Yari, why not a turbo diesel version and the money saved goes to groceries?   Replies to this message: ruking1 (Apr 20, 2009 10:34 am)

In test drives, the computer indicated app 33 mpg and I was far from gentle. (not abusive however) Indeed if I were to get it, it would be for its longer distance attibutes, aka HELL of a ROAD CAR... and OH by the way you can actually commute with it !! However most BMW owners would probably chose to...fly???   Almost EVERYONE that I know anyway that has so called higher end cars has ridiculously low mileage. Indeed one can even ask in terms of mileage, why one even bought it?

To me, the 335D feels lighter and faster than the 335xi or 535xi, after I fully road test and daily driving the 335D, the bulky 750Li now is somewhat disgusting. Yes, you feel you drive a diesel car, because the neck breaking pushing back as you stomp down the pedal, and you feel it while you pull up the diesel isle in a gas station, currently in South Jersey, the diesel price is same as the premium, you don’t feel the pinch any more, how about the UREA thing? I was very concerned too; now, I don’t feel its existence except purposely looking down the small ring shape cover on the driver side rear bumper. And odd enough, the 35D engine looks smaller than the 35i. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/cctdi/IMG_0765.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/cctdi/IMG_0763-1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/cctdi/DSC01140-1.jpg Replies to this message: mr42hh (Apr 23, 2009 10:04 pm) jlbl (Apr 23, 2009 10:25 pm)

X3, X5, X6 as well. Oddly, there is no 335d convertible. Just 320d, 325d and 330d.

Replying to: cctdi (Apr 23, 2009 4:58 pm) how about the UREA thing?   No need of urea for diesel cars in Europe. I figure out if we should used it it would be not a concern, as you say. I think is manufactured odorless, and as I posted time age, urea, even natural, is good for the skin.   Regards, Jose
