I had one of these 335'd in estate as a rental for 4 days back in 2016. I owned a 1.7L diesel budget car at the time, so imagine how I felt jumping into this beast.... I fell in love with the brand and later bought myself a BM, not this fast and expensive though. Today, I could get one but diesel does not suit my driving.

Agree with everything you say. Had my 335d for 18 months and I wouldn’t change it for anything - it ticks every box from performance to practicality.

Same. It’s a keeper. I’ve even been taking it with me from the UK when I moved to Germany. Even though the steering wheel is now on the wrong side.

I'm on my 2nd 335d now after swapping from an XKR. The current one is a 2017 ex demo so has every extra and it's perfect.

335’s are so underrated! I remember driving one and couldn’t believe how much torque it has. Arguable better than then M340i if you ask me

Flipping love these. Looking forward to seeing more on the channel Amelia! I've got a 2013 MX5 at the moment but I keep being seriously tempted by a 6-cylinder 3 series, especially as I couldn't move away from rear wheel drive now - had mine two years though and I'm not sure I'm ready to let it go quite yet? I suppose there's no rush for me as there's plenty of these about. Got to say, my mate has an '09 335d and in a tunnel last weekend it did sound pretty spectacular despite being a derv!

@@ameliaautomotive It is, for sure! I took it on track for the first time (my first time too) and I think that gave me a lot more respect for it and so has delayed the inevitable beemer by at least a few months 🤣 will keep you posted though!

You can't go wrong with a 3 series, and this is the best of the bunch to daily! Much more sensible than my TT 😂

I daily a Jaguar XFR. Cost me £23,000 last march for a 14 plate but with proper back boxes on it sounds epic. Can get them much cheaper now and if you don't mind the fuel bills they are a really comfy, powerful and reliable car.

I had a 2014 XKR as my daily and swapped for a 335d as needed a 5 door and don't miss it.. Was great to look at but the 335 is nicer to drive, the tech is much better and the 0-60 is virtually the same.... Which from a diesel is impressive.

New subscriber to your channel , be interesting to see how it develops. There are some great undiscovered presenters on YT and you seem very natural on camera. Who knows , you might end up being the new Ginny Buckley. I agree about being a good looking car for a 2014. I think the era of 2010 - 2015 was a good time for car design and they are ageing very well but still have a decent level of modern toys inside without needing a degree in computer science to be able to operate them.

Whatever you do don’t use the auto gearbox as a substitute for your handbrake. Handbrakes are much cheaper to fix than a snapped parking pin.
