The car in the snow road on the picture is new to me, we don’t get the one door coupe style 355D here in States.

For the snow roads in scenario like the pictures l take this car out; with 553 ft of toque, what a friend of this car!

For snow bowling, the S8 will be a lot of fun.

The Bimmer which brings its possible best luxury car in really clean diesel form first time to this shore is not appreciated by most of people here, just because it is a diesel! 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.

We get the 335d wagon too, and 535d sedan and wagon, 635d coupe and convertible too. X3, X5, X6 as well.
Oddly, there is no 335d convertible. Just 320d, 325d and 330d.

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.

I have read many of your posts, (Rice and Jose). I recently came home from Spain, and fell in love with the 118d. If that car were brought here, "image" may improve vs. decline. One never knows.
 
In any event, after driving the pyrenees in that "rental" car, I can only say that I now wish I had never driven that car. I want it here SOOOO much!

I felt the same way after driving a 1.9 TDi A3 back in 2001 in Germany & Switzerland. I came home wanting one then, but it wasn't available. Still isn't, at least with a manual transmission.

On February 2008 my wife and I drove a hired 118d from Pyrenees to Alps and back. The car was such a gem (fuel economy, power and drivability) than my wife bought a 2009 118d for herself. "My" 2008 335d coupe is not a better car to her eyes . (Yet she likes driving it if given the opportunity. )

I am interested in a few cars including the BMW 3 series. I really don't know much about a diesel engine. What variables should I consider in 328 vs 335 vs 335d? Are turbo engines problematic in hot climates? Thanks.

Drive all three and decide based on which one makes you smile the most. To me the 328i feels a bit more nimble, the 335i is seriously fast, and the 335d returns exceptional fuel economy coupled with very good performance. My main gripe with the diesel is that a manual transmission is not available. In my case I'd probably go with a 328i M Sport with a manual tranny.
