I guess we will find out in March.

Dammit

335dFan · 02-17-2013, 06:11 PM

Don't see why it wouldn't.

Ron1n · 02-18-2013, 05:28 PM

From what I've already read about it, I'm pretty sure it does.

Puerto Rican 335d · 02-19-2013, 06:32 AM

Even though we have the same platform it does not mean we have the same electrical setup , HOPEFULLY!!!

Ron1n · 02-19-2013, 11:43 AM

The battery and mounts are pretty much identical, however. Same locations in both cars, and the recall says 3 series, period, without a model specification.

Puerto Rican 335d · 02-19-2013, 11:55 AM

yes 3 series but AGAIN I believe our electrical systems are different therfore i.e battery cables etc etc are Different. A diesel battery is not the same battery as a gasser therfore there might be a possibility that the cable work is somewhat Different. then we will see if any "D"s do make the changes

Moxie · 02-23-2013, 04:29 PM

According to the attached, the D's not included.

Puerto Rican 335d · 02-25-2013, 06:54 AM

there you go, MAYBE we are not in this group after all!!

GreekboyD · 02-25-2013, 07:02 AM

Thanks Moxie. I plan on e-mailing my SA about this sometime this week.

For all we know they may have lumped our Ds into the "335i" category.

Puerto Rican 335d · 02-25-2013, 07:09 AM

I am very firm on what I said OUR cars are electrically (i.e. battery, cables etc etc) different than the OTHER 3 series cars but until someone can change my thinking on this I will stand by my word.

335dFan · 02-25-2013, 09:00 AM

Having read the NHTSA letter to BMWNA, it appears to not include the 335d, but knowing how the government screws up on such things, I suppose I would wait for the BMW letters. Of course, the dealers may screw things up too. Do these recall letters typically come from your assigned dealer or from BMWNA?

GreekboyD · 02-25-2013, 01:01 PM

Usually from BMWNA and then told to see your dealer to address it.

You can be very firm all you want.

When you get the recall, feel free to be unfirm.

We'll find out.
It can go either way. For a year my insurance card ready 335i b/c they didn't have a way to put a D in the computer.
I find it hard to believe the 335i 335is 335d m3 etc, all have different setups. but who knows!

Maybe that's why they're so expensive.

Considering that realoem shows the batteries and connectors (to the battery) are identical between 335i and 335d, you should probably reconsider how firm you want to be.

Puerto Rican 335d · 02-27-2013, 05:44 AM

LOL @ Ronin I might be wrong but will wait and see, BTW A friend of mines just went in for this on his 328

dzlmoose · 03-13-2013, 10:04 AM

My vehicle check warning came on so I called to book my appointment. So I asked if the I needed to get my battery cable replaced and the dealership said that my car is not affected by this recall.

GreekboyD · 03-13-2013, 10:15 AM

Any idea what your trouble might be? Most likely emissions related I'd guess.
