Well done! I am very interested to hear how it goes!
Did you test a 335i and 335d before ordering? if so how did they compare? I reckon you must have one of the first 335d in the UK! No car mag has even tested this car/engine combination yet!

Yes, i also have just traded in an 05 M3 convertible. I have to take it a bit easy, but the mid range is incredible and the engine is so quiet, you just look at the speedo needle and watch it fly, as i say i have only driven it for 150 miles and the fuel aspect attracts me. With the M3 i was lucky to combine 21mpg, so far and without being run-in it is registering 32mpg and i haven't done much motorway yet. Where abouts are you i am Camberley way, and yes i believe it is one of the first in the UK on the road, its good to get the looks...

Sounds good! Do you think the mid range is on a par with the M3?
In the 330d I can get 40+ on a long motorway run (circa 80-90) and on cruise control at 70-75 I can get the range up to over 600 miles!! Nice to know but it doesn't happen often! I would think the fuel consupmtion on the 335d would be quite similar particularly on a motorway cruise. I am in Cookham and work in Reading. I am tempted to trade the 330d in for a 335d...perhaps nxt year! (early!) That is a nice car you have - keep us updated on how it performs ...particularly after it is run in! Intersted in how it compares performance wise to the M3!

Question #1
How's the steering with that bulky engine in the front? I assume you don't have Active Steering? I also ordered a 335d but I'm not sure what to do with the active steering. I've read a test of an E92 325i and they complained the car had heavy steering. That's why I took Active Steering, but then I've read it takes away the sportiness. Now I want to remove AS again from my order .... Question #2 Is it fast? Would be nice if you could compare it with a 335i. |

re the avtive steering, my agent said don't bother it ruins the feel of the car, i don't find it heavt at all.
re speed i am still taking it easy, but left my brother for dead in his Audi 225hp TT and i wasn't pushing it. From driving the M3 for the past 18 months the first thing i notice was how resposive it is. the M3 had to be worked this you just squeeze the throttle and its all there. amazing |

well done you've beat me by a few dayz...
I see you have gone for 19"'s how is the ride compared to the M3. I have stuck with the std 17"s as I thought the 19" was a step too far with sports suspension and I don't like the look of the 18"'s ..and how is that auto shift.. can't wait until Saturdays 140 mile drive home from Cooper Thames Ditton
