Concerning the lower residuals, they are more than made up for the $4500 eco credit and the $900 tax credit.
Because of the Eco Credit, BMW did not have to support the 335d to the extent it supports the other cars. Leasing and financing are quite competitive as a result. If the Eco Credit goes away, I would wager the residual and MF will improve.

npd: Very nice post! For people who live in the world of more expensive diesel and don't like the flat torque curve and the nice ZF6HP28 tranny also found in the 550i and 750i, don't buy the car. I have yet to hear from a single D owner who is disappointed with their car. Regards

There is 335d Coupe, in europe from 07'
Just wait till it hits USA too . No idea if there's also Manual , but i guess there is. 70% of BMW's production are diesels, i think they know why , and also people know why they buy diesels . It is a great car, torque is amazing ,i had a 320d but ... 7500rpm > Diesel , that's for me . |

Not sure why you would guess there's a manual transmission since one isn't available.

BTW, I readily admit one (possible) advantage of a 335d over a 335i is reliability. With the 335i you have the HPFP, piezo injectors and turbos/wastegates all as sore spots. Not that the 335d is simplistic in comparison but who knows... It's not likely to be worse! Probably another reason to go with the 335d if you want to buy and drive it long-term rather than lease.

Even with the $4500 eco credit and the tax credit? It costs less than a similarly equipped 335i at the end of the day.

I started out at mile 0 ahead of a 335i for cost, and it's only getting cheaper and cheaper as I drive, highway OR city. Goes to show the lack of consistency with financial programs, though, I'm leasing at 1.9%, not sure how that compares to current d or i rates.

And,for the record,I consistantly get 42-43 mpg on the Interstate at a steady 65mph (me being a much more "sedate" driver than many BMW owners). |
