3) The SCR cat costs $1200 for the part, again, not a standard part.
4) The DPF/DOC costs $2500 and is not a standard part. Trouble seems to begin somewhere after 125K.
5) The NOx sensors cost $500 each, and the warranty was also extended on them.
6) Many people, including me at 130K, have never had CBU problems.
If you buy a diesel, you expect longevity. The emissions system doesn't have longevity.
It would behoove you to learn what others are experiencing before commenting. Oh, yes. I have kept a log: 131K, $20,404.46. Which includes the cost of the NOx sensors (actually replaced twice) and the DEF tank.

Funny how the purist bash on the 335d.. I suspect most of them just heard from somebody's aunt that had a neighbor with a cousin that drove a 335d and had problems with it..
The M57 engine is a beast and all the common problems (mostly emissions) are well documented and relatively easy to fix if you have the time to search.
I challenge anybody with a 335i "rocket" to drive a deleted 335d and compare the 2.. tell us what you think about that torque.
