The 335d is not worth IMO. I want a diesel car to have insane MPG and the 335d only manages 30 MPG on the highway.

I suspect that you got info from British/UK/EU sources, as this information is not correct.
1) The USA/CA model gets 36 mpg highway (I have gotten as high as 41 mpg).
2) Most importantly, the 335d exists only in 2009, 10, 11 model years, and only in sedan form in the USA/CA.
Overall, I agree with your opinion that MOST buyers should not buy a 335d. The emissions system (for NOx reduction) is extremely complicated and virtually certain to fail, and fail multiple times. The parts to repair that system are quite expensive. However, the engine, turbos, cooling system (other than thermostat), transmission have proven quite reliable.
