Fantastic Pace

, AMAZING noise

, doesnt feel special enough

Best pal had one for 10 months, borrowed it and wouldnt spend 60k+ on it.

when they get to 30k second hand i might be worth a sniff.

dxb335d · 07-26-2007, 05:07 PM

this one is nearly two years old and is 50k

when i looked on trader similar cars are 42k so seems a little overpriced

maybe she is well low mileage?

quicker than the re-mapped 335d steve?

I thought about an RS4 before my 335, and I thought exactly the same as above, oh and the ridiculously crap MPG, and I was coming from and .:R32!!

The guy that bought my 330cd was replacing his 9 month old RS4 (what a step-down) because he could not get more that 18mpg driving around London.
He said that he loved the RS4 but just could not come to terms with such woeful fuel economy.

I too would not enjoy a car, and thus not drive it properly, if I was having to empty my wallet into it every few days.

I now find the remapped 335d to be a great compromise (pace and economy) and in real world terms will only be slighty behind an RS4.

I think there is only about 1 second difference in it from 0-100 mph.

That V8 growl would be awesome though

I found mine too big, and really didn't need the extra space.

If you need 4 doors then it's for you, if not I'd look elsewhere.
