Currently trying to buy a 335d...

I have noticed that a lot of them come up as 335i on the DVLA system. Two that I have looked at are 335i on the V5. I keep seeing this come up again and again on 335d's. I understand it could just be a minor error but I was wondering if anyone had a good explanation.

When I do a spec check, the car comes up as a D. When I check on the BMW service site it comes up as a i......

Actually the 335d has been Euro 6 from launch, so is exempt from the charge.

It emits no pollution at all, just the scent of freshly cut grass

Had the same issue on my "15" plate 335d always came up as a 335i on the insurance data base.

Surely it would have been cheaper then as the petrol version is a slug compared to the diesel torque monster?

No disrespect for my old 35d.But after 3k on my 440i all I can say is "never going back to a tractor ".

Ha - just 7x the legal limit of NOx.

If BMW cleaned them up most efficiently in Europe, would be "the sweet smell of urine".

My 15 plate had the same issue. Simple to fix with the DVLA

It's such a load of shite it really is, just a labour twat in charge of London with slippery shoulders.

I'd run 4 star if I could, park up and rev the shit out of the engine right outside his open office window.

Rant over.

I just phoned them up, told them the error, paid £25 for a new V5C and it was delivered within the week.

I could've gone through the dealer but for the sake of £25 it was easier to manage it myself.

They're great cars, you won't be disappointed.
