335D 2011

2011 BMW 3 Series 335d 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6A)
My first diesel, and my second BMW. I traded my 530XI for the 335D. Got the sports package, and all the bells and whistles.
Drives really well, I am expecting to get a few speeding tickets with this car:)
Great car however seems to have one simple flaw, the speedometer is off by 3 Km/H, not much however may have to see the dealer for a fix.
I highly recommend this car to anyone, … especially if you are on the green track and wont to feel good about not polluting the environment. It's way better than a hybrid, GREAT performance from a reputed mfg.
Unfortunately 335D comes at a price, but I can assure you it's all worth it.
Diesel Exhaust Tech not ready for prime time
John Ranalletta, Indianapolis, IN, 03/31/2016
2011 BMW 3 Series 335d 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6A)
I've driven this '11 335d for nearly 5 years and 100k miles. I love the car but not when the service engine soon light turns on. Usually, it's a fault related to the SCR (diesel exhaust fluid) system issue. Having purchased the 100k BMW warranty, the repairs were covered, except for replacement of the catalytic converter which the dealer stated was not covered. I have to pay $500 … labor and the dealer is providing the part. This is not an inexpensive car to own/maintain and I'd likely not buy another BMW diesel even though there's a lot to like about driving one.
Perfection.

2011 BMW 3 Series 335d 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6A)
I've owned my M Sport package equipped 335d since November, 2010, and have found it to be nothing short of automotive excellence. From the fit and finish to the ample power and stellar handling, to its robust infotainment system and numerous amenities, the 335d does it all. While it was at the upper end of my price range, over 9000 miles later, it's been worth every cent.
No other car … provides the combination of power, fuel economy, and luxury of the 335d.
Many manufacturers have fielded numerous examples boasting two of the three, but only BMW achieves the perfect balance of all three.
At 140K miles
Alprazo, New Hope, PA, 12/09/2016
2011 BMW 3 Series 335d 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6A)
Run flat tires and the carbon build up in the exhaust manifold and diesel particulate filter and a front wheel bearing are the only problems thus far. The torque that the engine puts out keeps the car feeling fun. No electrical or other problems with the car. The exhaust manifold was replace under warranty at 80k. I am about to pull out and have the diesel particular filter cooked … at 140k. The right front wheel bearing was replaced at 140k. The car has held such little value though and I am told that it values between 6-7k. It was purchased used in 2013 with 34 thousand miles.
