just had my 435d wrote off by a van driver on an A road in England. I was doing 50mph he was doing over 60mph and obviously thought he was aboard as I collided with him being on the wrong side of the road as I came around a blind bend, as the fire service commented, you have hiw a brick wall at the equilvilant speed of 110mph. Good news is apart from fractured sternum and major back and neck injuries the 435d kept me alive. I have now just put a deposit down on a 2017 335D M sport (in e blue surprise surprise)so thank you for an excellent review , great pace and very informative. All the best Nathan
@@Thuds593 Hi Thuds , I did , not the coupe ,I bought a 2017 335D Touring( as above) , exactly the same engine as the 435d a 3 litre twin turbo, due to how the last one saved my life. Excellent car I have done over 50,000 miles, had it serviced regularly and apart from normal items wearing out its been brilliant. 50 mpg on a run and very quick. Changed the run flats to Pilot Sport 4s OEM, what a difference. Super practical being the estate.
Oh I miss my blue 335d LCI, it drove so well - effortlessly - and as u said it's had the range to match! Looked great too. Had the base suspension and although it rolled a little on highway slip-roads, etc, it was perfect on those bumpy lumpy British B-roads. Overtake King!! Sport+ was fun to kick the rear-end out rwd style. But it did strangely eat front tyres more than the rears, and the seat height adjustment (manual) was rubbish. Rear glass hatch opening so useful & still a fairly small car so easy around town. I wanted to keep it even though they wanted to kill off diesel but really it was a lack funds at the time, still a good experience - the benchmark for my future cars.
I’ve had my mineral grey xdrive msport 2017 GT now for a few weeks and can only say WOW what a car. Leaves other cars as a dot in rear view mirror. I love it, any other car after this would be a come down. It looks like a family saloon but is a MONSTER in disguise 👹
I have a 435d its the first diesel I have owned and I previously had a e92 m3, Its not as sharp but Its stil enough for the public roads and Im getting 36mpg with a heavy foot I love it :)
Had my 335d touring for 5 years now.....don't want to change it as does everything I need. ...including minimum 36mpg not matter how much I push it. It really is the car for a petrol (diesel) head who's wife doesn't understand why you wind down your window when driving behind a V8 ......faster 0 to 60 than many 911s and you can put a fridge freezer in the back....I have done. Mine must have emptied the pockets of the first owner as has everything apart from head up display and that camera that sees around corners.....then the next owner bought all the BMW add ons....alcantara steering wheel, side skirts, front and rear spoilers......and best of all it has Tanzenite blue paint.....its like having two cars.....dark blue on a dull day and spectacular sparkling blue on a sunny day. I love the glass roof too but most of all I love powering out of a roundabout exit onto the dual carriage way in the wet....leaving the guy who, had been sitting on my bumper, (not literally....) vanishing into the distance in my rear view mirror, in a wake of spray. I don't think car guys ever grow up.... In summary. It is the best sports car you can buy without your family being aware! My first love was and Audi Quatro turbo avant....but now after two 330d BMW s have reached Nirvana with the 335d....although would have liked a gearstick and maybe slightly stiffer suspension....but then it would not have been an effortless drive to Scotland last summer 1,550 miles of pure enjoyment. This video has made me realise I am not the only one to love this car.....and its the only car I have owned where I have been approached by strangers and asked if I would sell it to them. Now on 109677 miles I think the gearbox needs some new oil as the take up is a little slower than when I first bought it.....all else so far is still good. Really must go and wash it....happy motoring.
Just ordered 335D Touring msport shadow edition xdrive with full panoramic roof, 19” 403M rims heated seats red/black leather ,pro nav , B&O, adaptive suspension,Alcantara steering wheel,carbon fibre interior parts, Msport blue M calipers , gonna look mega in Melbourne red & ultimately will be a keeper I won’t be changing it anytime soon 💪
You made me buy this car..... I fucking love this car, I watched this video then bought this car, if anyone is thinking of buying this car then fucking buy it, I fucking love it.... I used to drive a vw touran , it served me well and then I bought this and I fucking love it.......... thanks to you sir for making me buy this, did I mention I fucking love it xx
Ha haa ha!... Almost 4 years ago I bought my 335d touring based on this excellent review also and bleepin love mine too!....It's now coming to the end of it's PCP finance agreement and there's absolutely no way I'm trading in for a new car ( eg M340d/340i ) ......My BMW dealer is already phoning me almost every week asking for it and giving extra equity deal on a new purchase.... but I'm going to pay the final balloon payment and keep it. I'll have no monthly payments but still own and drive everyday what is still one the best cars on the road today. bleepin love it!! Thank you AutoTopNL for making me a very happy driver :-)
I would be thankful if you would mention average fuel economy with 340i and 335d (and all other vehicles) on not congested AUTOBAHN (so 150-200 average I believe).
F31 335d X-Drive Touring is excellent. AutoTopNL is almost entirely responsible for the reason I own one :) But after several months of ownership I can categorically say this car needs AC Schnitzer Springs. The standard SE suspension is shocking. Nose diving on braking and too much body roll on bends. Feels like a boat even on the adaptive suspension. Once you've got the springs it is utterly brilliant and your BMW warranty is NOT affected
@@tjcarruthers9820 there’s quite a difference between comfort and sport. Comfort takes the bumps really well and the car becomes an excellent cruiser. Sport mode the suspension tightens up a touch and inspires more confidence when pushing on
@@light459 cheers for reply, I also meant is there much difference in comfort when you put the ac schnitzer springs on as toting with ditching the run flats and adding the springs
Just be happily aware @scoss that if you step from an A3 TDI to a 335d you will simply NOT believe the difference in terms of performance and refinement. You will quite possibly need a clean change of underwear every time you floor the thing!..🤣🤣🤣👍
De 335d f30 is echt een sleeper, vooral nu die de uitlaatpijpjes enkel links heeft. Ik zou graag een tesla vs 335d willen zien. :) Ik denk dat de 335d het wint vanaf 150 naar de 250 toe.
Nice car i have the 330D XDRIVE Msport good review but i wouldn't feel comfortable on the autobahn at 180kph with your no hands on the steering wheel driving!
Amazing car ! A question though: will you go for adaptive suspension (SelectDrive) with 19 inch wheels or standard MSport (DirectDrive) is already comfortable enough? How was your test car configured? Thank you
they will have a M340d. In the next summer it will be available on g20 and g21. It will also be stiffer and lighter ( clar platform like 5 and 7 series ).

I have one of these, chipped, and love it! Very relaxing to drive very fast because the engine doesn’t need to rev much. Brilliant!
Just ordered my 335d Touring in Mineral Grey with Coral Red interior. Hurry up March 17!!!

Great review. I just got one and couldn’t be happier with it! 😊
Same, bloody love it 😀
I have one of these which has been tweaked a bit. Now 375 BHP and lots of torque. Totally love it ❤
My 335xd Tourer arrives this week. Great car
What a truly amazing car.

Really cool to have a big 5series engine in such a small compact car. This must fly
Small,compact car???!!
Very nice point of view with: 'one of the fastest cars in the world', it is logical.

Contemplating this mod myself.
@@tjcarruthers9820ditching the run flats is a must imo.
I'm toying with eibach or bilstein suspension. As out of BMW warranty now anyway.
Great review & what a car that BM is. The red is superb I've got a black one because red is impossible to find.
7:45 Such a nice overtake^^
My favorite car
The 535d is rear wheel drive. Its great if you install a Quaffe LSD diff. Loads of traction from 2wd.
BMW F31 335d and a Bristol 411 in the same video - nice!
Which would you have? 340i or 335d?
335d
335D just make more sence it has more torque much more economical so i would choose it to be my daily car.
If you live in a diesel country then for sure 335d!
335 d xdrive. No doubt.
340i
Great video! Currently have an A3 TDI. looking for a new family car with extra performance. Has no idea the 335D was so quick. Def the car for me!
Jay Leno bought a 335d m sport a few months ago ;) the engine is something else!
Jay Leno no mate. Not found a road to test this yet.
Just be happily aware @scoss that if you step from an A3 TDI to a 335d you will simply NOT believe the difference in terms of performance and refinement. You will quite possibly need a clean change of underwear every time you floor the thing!..🤣🤣🤣👍
@@neilmcguinness4422 ha you’re def right. I ended up adding a stage 1 tune and gearbox map too 😉
@@scoss2was it worth it? Just got mine, first the runflats have to go, then maybe eibachs or bilstein, then stage 1
I’m sure someone has already mentioned, the xdrive vehicles didn’t come with M Sport suspension only SE suspension. Only RWD got them.
great review

Ik denk dat de 335d het wint vanaf 150 naar de 250 toe.
Even this BMW 3 series probably would smoked the fuck out of that Tesla above 100 mph lmao
Got my F31 335d mapped to 400bhp. Masses of torque and very very quick. On par with a 911 0-60mph
I just got the same car. Seriously considering mapping it. Who did yours?
@@keithatkinson celtic tuning. They got a mobile service. Well worth it. Different car!
Rs4 b7 for the weekend and I drive a f31 335d in the week. Both are very capable cars
Thanks!!! Great review. I have great expectations for the g21 m340d in the next summer. I might buy one.
nice video, thanks
thanks for the nice video! was your car fitted with adaptive drive? and what would you say how does the cars driving comfort compare to the 5series?
My 325d e91 (stage1) did like 1200 km with under 60 litre and was still pretty fast
A repmap on these pushes the power to around 400hp and 0-100 in 4.2 seconds
Just had mine done and you are not far wrong.
there's no m sport suspension on any xdrive 3 series, but u know that know...=)
Nice car i have the 330D XDRIVE Msport good review but i wouldn't feel comfortable on the autobahn at 180kph with your no hands on the steering wheel driving!
Diesel Powerrr, 335d!
Can u do a review on a 335d gt
335d all the way.
‘Blast down the autobahn’
Me: Cries in English
Amazing car ! A question though: will you go for adaptive suspension (SelectDrive) with 19 inch wheels or standard MSport (DirectDrive) is already comfortable enough? How was your test car configured? Thank you
Serge Smadja Adaptive suspension is a must. Vast improvement over standard m sport, which is way too ‘floaty’....
Wolf in sheep's clothing....this car is a beast.

De X-drive uitvoeringen met M-pakket krijgen niet de sportverlagingsset, i.t.t. de RWD-versies.
Wish we got this shit in the states
Nice
Volvo Amazon 13:08 ?
I wish they had M340d
Alpina D3 be close and rwd
they will have a M340d. In the next summer it will be available on g20 and g21. It will also be stiffer and lighter ( clar platform like 5 and 7 series ).
@@dabysk6271 it sadly won't be available in the UK due to crappy dieselgate. Such nonsense as the car's cleaner than most. Beautiful engine.
I’ve got a remapped 335d and it’s quicker than the m550d! 4.4 seconds to 60 and 10 seconds to 100 my car does...it’s fast!
Your wish has been granted. 2021 release of the M340d/M440d
I want that.
adjusting the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving?
I wish they made a RWD 335d. I want RWD so I'd rather have a 330d (more than fast enough) than a 335d xDrive.
Alpina D3 is based on this car, is RWD and an added 40hp.
Tuddec we can order a 335d sdrive, somwith rwd
I have a f11 535 d RWD, I just love it! Torque is way brutally delivered much more fun!
Overtaking where it's not allowed (7:50). Bad ethos for a carshow. Nice car though
Just noticed a proper handbrake thought these had a button. Been thinking of getting a 335d f31 touring
They have both the P (parking) brake and the more standard handbrake.
Yeah I know most have a park option its just most cars have a electronic handbrake over a standard old fashioned pull up lever.
335d
Would have a 335d I think, happy with my 330d still though.
I have a 340i but I'd like a 335D specced out but it is so expensive with all those options, even used..
t00 sp00ky but the 340i is more sporty and louder in exchange for a few less mpg..
Would love to try a 340i someday...
Maybe I will get one as my next car, who knows. Still need to save up some money first!
t00 sp00ky it pulls after 200km/h. I would have the 335d daily, but if my budget was bigger, 340i would be for me.
Twin exaust on one side??? I thaught 335d it had one on both sides....
Diesel just sounds incredibly nice. At least our audi a4 2.5tdi lol
I have audi a6 2,5tdi, sounds like a tractor
Corre mucho verdad
1900ml/100000meters nice
seriosly good lookin car if iss black is more good looking
Blijf Nederlands video's maken
my 320i (E46 straight six petrol) sounds better than this straight six strong diesel
diesel for train......
bye bye
