Sold the Zed for a 335d!


Recommended Posts

So I had the Zed for a couple of years but fancied a change. Its was a beautiful Z with 45k on the clock.

Always loved the look of the E92 and with performance and economy of the 335 I decided to go for it!

So far I love it. Its got all the toys and with the twin turbos it feels quicker then the Zed, its just missing the noise of the GTR pipe I had on! Soon to go in for a remap that will take it to 350bhp and 700nm :)

 

And just to rub it in im averaging 45mpg ;)

 

All comments/questions are welcome :)

Let the high garage bills commence (only joking the 335d is a solid car), I'm coming the other way from bmw to nissan.Lovely looking car mate.

Thanks for the nice comments! I agree I'm abit worried about garage bills encase anything does go wrong as EVERYTHING is electronic and has a sensor. It even passes you your seatbelt when you get in :O miss the noise and drama of the Zed but the BMW feels solid and just more refined. Only time will tell!

^^ The seat belt thing Tom is a nice touch ~ my old mans BM does the same thing. B)

 

You just need to learn how to tailgate people now and inappropriately undertake on motorways & you'll be a fully fledged BMW owner. :lol::thumbs:

Congrates on a fantastic motor......lovin the BMW, they aren't called bemers for nothing.......because that's going to be on your face every time you drive it....ENJOY......but sad the Z has gone

You find a forum for these or a decent online buying guide? My mate's about to pull the trigger on a 320D and I'm trying to convince him that the 335D is the way to go.

Lovely car, my dad currently has an E90 330dM with a re-map ( its brutal ) E92 325 coupe convertible. Really nice car to drive and a great choice :thumbs:. Hopefully this model of the 335d has less problems than that of the E91 model.

A freind of mine has this map on an E90 335d, he reckons its quicker than his 500hp RB26DETT 200SX. Good work that man. :D

I was led to believe Audi has recently taken the tailgating title from BMW :)

 

BMWs are certainly making a comeback.

 

3 serise drivers have always been the worst.

are all 335d autos?

Yes it only comes in an auto. Although it's tiptronic so can drive manual with the flappy paddles or knocking the gear stick forward/backwards

Have wondered what a 335d is like to drive.

 

Always thought that these sorts of cars would be too clinical and wont feel like a 'drivers' car. Masses of torque and great mpg for the performance but feels a little dull and doesnt sound that great.

 

Dont park it in a multistory car park, you will lose it in amongst all the other BMW's!! :stir:

Compared to the Audi and Merc offerings the Beemer feels like a racecar. ;)
