2009 335d questions

amarti23 · 12-30-2012, 04:53 PM

Hey everyone!
I'm looking to trade my car for a 335d but don't know much on reliability or if there are any major issues that can occur. It's CPO w only 34k miles on it
I had a diesel vw and loved it and I love my BMW so I await to stick w these cars.

What are you all getting for mpg?

Any feedback would be appreciated!!

Prob get more answers in the 335d section. I get about 31mpg with 80% City 20% Highway.

Get it!! I have an '11 I picked up last year around this time and have since put 30K on it

I love it, only needed a few oil changes and my a/c wasn't blowing as cold as it should; mentioned this to my SA and I had a new a/c condenser and my car back within a few days.

Get it. I get 29.7mpg average with mixed highway/asshole driving. Get a JBD as well and you won't regret it.

Averaging 28.9mpg in 80% city driving. Seems I get about 26 city, 42 highway. The power is great, and planning on getting an Evolve tune in the spring to bump it up that much more.

so a 335i has hpfp, water pump and etc issues. anything we should know about diesels?

Mine is an 09 that was CPO and I am absolutely loving it.
I'm getting similar fuel economy as the others, nearly 30 mpg with lots of city driving and not exactly babying it.
The main issue that is worrying many of us is carbon buildup, but it seems that many (most?) cars are not affected.

I don't own the diesel... so take this with a grain of salt, but have read on this forum that some have had problems with one of the turbos, I forget whether it was the 1st stage or the larger 2nd stage turbo. Might be worth checking.
