I've had my 335d xdrive touring for 2 years and it's the best daily. 50mpg on a long run, around 370bhp and 580lbft after a remap. 0-60 3.9 seconds. Mapped gearbox and Goodyear asymetric 5 (non run flat). Room for my German shepherd, heated wheel and pan roof. Does everything 😍

Are the tyres star rated? If they aren't then they could give you problems with the geometry.

[@TronoFruitSlots]

@@swift2117mine arnt star rated. You just have to have the right size of tyres and all the same brand.

They are impressive cars, my stage 2 335d xdrive was 430bhp done 0-60 in 3.7 sec 👌🏻

[@MKTSirHenry]

I have the touring version with a stage 1 remap. Transforms the car so well worth doing and retesting the 0-60. Also, it does have a proper launch mode - put it in sport+ and manual mode, foot on the brake and mash the accelerator pedal right down and it will say ‘launch active’ and away you go! It will change gear for you also. Another video needed once you’ve remapped it I reckon 😏

[@timbob1145]

Is there a long winded way to turn the TC off? Used to just hold the button down for a while on my old 330d.

Sidewalls need to extra load is all u need , much better ride quality and half price tyres without runflats

I have owned my 335d xdrive for 7 months and love it. Definitely ticks all the boxes for a daily. I have had mine mapped along with the gearbox. That made a big difference.

[@Arman-nl6mg]

I have a 435d GC and it feels nowhere as quick as my old M140i despite the extra torque... Would u say the remap makes it border on that "mind blowingly quick" level that Jamie was saying it lacks?

[@danstanford89]

The 435 is a bit slower to 60 stock as its heavier then the 3 series i guess. But the 140 would be lighter again. Remap will definitely help tho they can make 380-400bhp

[@lloydwattslw]

@@Arman-nl6mg it will definitely help and be quite a bit quicker but the thing with these cars is although they are quick they just don't 'feel' as fast as they are. I've had alot of fast peteol cars and the main thing is you just don't get the same enjoyment/satisfaction out of a deisel as a petrol. The sound, the way it pulls more towards the end of the revs ect. You'll always enjoy that m140i more.

[@slotselectagamblingchannel7452]

Can not underestimate these. Absolute weapon of a car considering its a daily. It goes on to be next level once they get hardware tuning and suspension mods. The only thing i will say is servicing is especially important with these cars on the engines and gear boxes. It can become very costly if you dont keep up the maintenance 😊

[@stephenmiller7299]

Having owned a 335d saloon for about 5 weeks I can honestly say a fantastic choice, everything you say is correct I think they are fast but not mind blowing fast. As a daily I'm averaging around 35mpg but I've had 50mpg on a run which was fantastic. Looking forward to following your next steps regarding tuning. Great channel Keep the videos coming.

[@paranoid5011]

Agree with you 100% in this video, I’ve owned my 335 for a year. First thing I did was get rid of the run flats, changed the springs with some spacers 12/15mm and it changed the ride completely! Can’t wait to see what you do with it

[@0brand0brand34]

Its the Swiss Army Knife of cars, and is every inch the Q-car that the original M5 was - especially as a Touring. Did an epic (but effortless) 145 at Millbrook in 2021 and often cruise at 120 on the M45 (M1 end) 4-up with full boot. Its a 'mood car' - it very much encourages the cruise in comfort mode - I think also the psychology of 'knowing' you can trounce 95% of cars around you does that. But hitting the sport button - whilst not really necessary - transforms the car and it literally goads you into attacking every opportunity to put load into the tyres and chassis. I also have the adaptive dampers, which are amazing and completely change the nature of the car. Its probably the most important option for me. Very fortunate to find one with it as not many bothered to pay the money - or preferred to spec the big sunroof, which I do wish I had tbh. The only thing I don't like is the gap between wheel and arch, but I live in London where speed bumps are everywhere, so I thought against getting it lowered. Oh and ditch the run flats if you can. will sort out the pot hole thing.

[@matty135simpson]

Ive had my touring for a few months now and absolutely love it

[@hello7533]

Hope youre going with GKR for the tuning. Also, im 99% sure they do have a launch control

[@dizmatt1]

I love mine for the family needs. 335Dx GT version, which isn't quite as tidy in looks or handling, but hatchback practicality with a huge boot, and longer wheel base improves room in the back for the missus to climb and in and out when we have 3 kids in the car (with 1 in the front). Makes a nice-ish noise when pushed. It picks up well but less so in comfort mode. 35mpg day-to-day and 45mpg on a long run. Mine is loaded nicely including the HUD. It pulls but to get the most of out if you need to catch the revs right. Would love to have mine mapped... maybe one day! The only spec I don't have is adaptive suspension and I would love that. I have swapped out the run-flats, and I think it's quieter and better all-round.

[@chrispick306]

They do have launch control if you aren’t aware, flick the stick over to manual, sport plus on the button, hard on the break, throttle past the little click point right to the floor and a flag should appear on the dash saying launch control or launch ready.

[@Manoah.]

I own an E46 330D Touring myself, nothing crazy although it has a tune which gets it to about 250HP and I can tell you, BMW 6 pot diesels are the best daily drivers you can get. I also own an Audi A4 B5 1.8T which was my last daily which was fine, probably more fun to drive than the BMW because of its weight and fun engine but definitely not fuel eficcient. BMW gets well over 45MPG while the Audi is stuggling to get 25-30.... And has 100hp less lol

[@AA97868]

Jamie I’ve had a LCI 335d and had eibach pro springs which are a game changer. Also, it’s the run flats that make it so rough. PS4s tyres may fix your issues The xdrive BMWs run on SE suspension that’s why they sit high.

[@mlgboy1]

When you are talking about hard hits from the suspoension then its likely that that will be from the run flat tyres. Get rid of them quickly. My 335D runs MSP4's and the difference from run flats is night and day. Run flats are the main reason why there are so many damaged rims on BMW's as there is so much energy from rough road surfaces passed straight to the rims because the run flat side walls are so hard. The soft suspension, if you dont have adaptive suspension, is due to the xe springs fitted which do make the ride a bit floaty from what I hear in the forums. My advice to anyone looking for one of these, if you can find it, is to go for the adaptive. I cant wait to see what you have in store for the car and your future plans.

I've got one of these, the suspension is so strange like you said, AC Snitzer springs are what everyone recommends but I've ran eibach on other BMW's and they've been amazing. Speed wise, I think for a daily it's more than enough, unless you're on constantly empty roads, dust 90% of cars off the lights and overtaking is easy. Suspension is the only thing that lets this down in the corners a bit, but it does make you want to just woft around everywhere

What have you had to do to it maintenance wise as I’m looking at buying one as a daily but wondering how reliable they are

[@bigecky]

@dylansmith97 it's had 2 recalls mate, both for the EGR cooler and the steering rack knock which is common but was fixed under warranty. It's a cheap DIY fix so nothing to worry about if it's out of warranty. Other than that mine has been 100% spot on. Serviced on time every time by bmw then bmw indy specialists. It's been mapped about 3 years now with an uprated intercooler and done a few 1/4 mile runs and B road blasts and its been perfect. As a daily family car there's nothing out there that beats it for performance, comfort and practically for the money. Just find one with the best spec you can, LCI models (2015 onwards) have the better lights.

@@JP_RS6 Amen. I’ve never set foot in an EV but that MG is crazy for the price and could sway some people at the power on offer for the price.

@@Buck3366 I've been in a model 3 Dual motor and it's quick up to 60 and 100mph. But it's just quick, not exciting or anything. My only response was "that's quick". Mines nearly as fast but the reaction I usually get is "that's sick, so fast and the noise is immense!" Lol. I wouldn't swap it for an EV, I got mine for £25k at 8 years old and 71k on the clock. Still looks brand new and I got a 444HP V8 AWD estate. A lot of power and practicality for the familynat a bargain price. The only issues are the fuel costs at 25mpg on average and the £625 a year road tax.... So worth it though lol

Just got 340i perfect family car with great engine

[@davidyip5557]

It would be nice to see you up the power and do more draggy times. Mines stage 1 atm 380 bhp 750 nm. Still haven't launched it😂

i just got rid of my 20d tourer, miss it already but waiting till i turn 25 to get a 35d. Dream car

😂😂 “ x drive & pot hole 🕳️ “ parts done me in bro 👍🏽😂

[@denzek8999]

Just a tip😊 your car has launch control, you need to put the car in sport + and the gear box to Manuel. Then just as usual floor the accelerator and the brake to activate

[@bpheta]

Put it in sports +, sport transmission, press and hold traction control till DSC goes off than boost and hold till 3grand rpm and see what it does.

[@dangreen5985]

The 335d uses the SE suspension due to the XDrive, not the M Sport setup like the others. A 335d with Eibach springs and non run flat tyres would transform it.

[@diogorayleigh]

About the potholes, I think it's the tires, If those tires are Runflat, that explains everything, they are very hard.

[@tonylyons9772]

My mates dad has one of these and they go really really well lots of torque but for me,for a daily,I’m not looking for something that’s faster than my weekend car,the 335d is a decent size it’s comfortable decent MPG and does what it’s meant to do,I’m looking to by one wen a good spec one catches my eye,only thing I’d change on the 335d is a good set of coilovers KWs or something maybe a stage 1 map & gear box map

[@fazer12779]

Diesel for MPG but 335i for more rev happy fun. Want to race against my stage 1 DCT N54 335i Jamie?

[@AntowQa]

what a great personality jimie see ya

[@joelamosun9341]

These cars awesome. Awesome! My only worry is the timing chain scenario on these engines. I know regular servicing even prior to the recommended intervals does help i e. every 6000 miles. Then the usual dpf, egr delete and so on. It will be nice to know peoples experiences with these engines especially at high mileages. Brilliant engines though. To do 4 secs to 60 and 40mpg on average is just superb!

[@alirezazadeh]

There’s no issue with the timing chain on the 3L diesels tbh it’s more the 320d’s

[@joelamosun9341]

@@alirezazadeh Maybe, but regular servicing is absolutely necessary. Even more frequent than manufacturer's recommendations. Like every 6k miles will do the six cylinder diesels a lot of good. Especially when you do a remap.

[@MrCopCam]

With a great remap come back and try again 💯👌🏾

[@geoffliam6285]

Loved mine but when I discovered that folding rear seats were an option I was rather miffed

[@AndyPandyFlyTying]

Just wait until you tune it, mine is running 3.6 0-60 and 11.8 1/4 mile.

Getting one tomorrow can't wait,
