I have got one of these in tanzanite blue with white leather. A perfect balance between performance and smooth driving for me. When dyno'd, these come up about 270bhp too. I haven't mapped mine yet, I'm happy with it the way it is. Although, I am feeling a little envious. 👀🤣
Hi friend. I am looking at buying one of these, but there are not many reviews out there. I have seen a few reviews on the 335d xDrive, and alot of reviewers advise the suspension is too soft due to it having the SE suspension. Would you know if all xDrive variants have SE suspension as opposed to M Sport Suspension, or just the 335d?
If you don’t want the soft suspension. Then get one with the upgraded M Sport suspension which allows you to choose between the modes. But personally I’d go for the softer as it suits long distance driving.
@@ShaksAutos sure, sDrive m sport models have the m sport suspension as standard, but I’m wondering if the xDrive m sport models have it as standard too?
The perfect car if it just had a digital speed readout in the centre. With my 320d I found it annoying constantly having to duck and tilt my head to check my speed on the old fashioned speedo
@@boxinghistorian2629 really feels nice putting down that power on all 4, and very usefull during the winter here in Finland. Also you can always do an x-delete if you want to make it rwd :D
Rwd/ S drive is going to be more reliable in the long run, xdrive is sensitive to the circumference of tyres, so if your trying to run it on a shoe string I wouldn't bother as you'll put strain on the transfer box. Don't wait 18,000miles to change the oil either. The rwd msport will be a harsher ride, the xdrive used SE model suspension so is more compliant, but rolls alot more around the bends and has a touch more understeer due to the big diesel lump.
It really depends on what type of driving you do. Around town you will get 30 - 40mpg, on the motorway 40 - 50mpg, driving like a hooligan about 25mpg 😅
@@ronniep9272 I drove from SW London to Porthcawl South Wales, around 170 miles. Set the computer on leaving, and on arrival at Porthcawl, a brilliant 62.1 mpg. Mine's a 2017 car, BMW dealer serviced from new, 27,000 miles.
@@Mr330d Yes, it’s a 330d, and that mpg of 62.2 was genuine. Much of it at 70mph where it’s just about ticking over at 1,500 rpm. At 2000 rpm you’re doing 90mph which of course is illegal. Around the city it’s around the 35-40mpg.
Bought the touring 330d xdrive m sport with pretty well the full options list ticked second hand about 6 years ago. Other than the runflat tires love it. BMW keeps trying to get me to buy a new one but tbh the hybrids are worse in most ways then the car I already have. A new 330 hybrid is heavier, slower, more complicated so harder to maintain, boot full of batteries, no V6, ugly front, touchscreen not idrive/real buttons. Not a great time to buy cars these days. So many downsides to get cheap city motoring and android auto support.
2017 used one cost like 16.000£ it seems totally worthy but rumours saying that BMW breaks very easily and the service will be expensive but after seeing this video is hard for someone to do not buy it because it looks amazing for that budget
That tap on the steering wheel “I love this fucking car!”
My thoughts exactly 😉

Did you test drive the 335? If so, any difference
My one is pre LCI 330d xdrive 2015, but has an electronic display for the MPG and also shows as battery charging when breaking or downhill.
Perfect all round performance diesel! Especially in 4WD!
Looks fun to drive
Brilliant cars, bought mine new in 2017, thought about a change last year but just like it too much to let it go.
Same for my F31 335d. Just too good a car.
You didn't put the gearbox into sport mode, push the lever to the left :)
You are right! I will remember that for the next drive 💪🏼
If you zoom in it was I'm sport+.
@@samanthawoodward7551 yeah that's the engine mode/chassis. The gearbox also has a "sport" mode where you push the lever to the left.
@@MrDatblink of course it does. Silly me!
I absolutely loved my F32. HUD, ACC, Individual White merino leather amongst other things.

Does staying on top of oil changes, generally mean timing chains should be OK?
Yes and quality oil
@ShaksAutos £250 remap, and you basically have a 335d?

I jus realised you either live in my area or drive round it 😮
I drive around there 😀
Excellent 👍

Good point
What’s a duck got to do with anything ?
Get one with HUD which is great.
Standard this car is fast. After stage 1 becomes very very fast :). The sport display looks different though (mine is 16 plate).
Anyone experienced a 340i? I have this currently and considering the switch
Thinking of buying a 330d m sport but dont no wheatear to get a rear wheel or x drive. Someone please help 😂😂
If you leave in a cold climate area with loads of rain and snow, get xDrive if not then RWD is good enough and fun to drive.
i have had both and currently have 330d XD. I personally prefer this one
