2009 BMW 335d

Pros: *No smell
*Minimal clatter
*Nice growl at moderate-full throttle
*Minimal turbo lag
*Prodigious torque from an inline-6
*Solid construction

Cons: *Pricey
*The 328's value package should be standard on this car
*Options are expensive

Summary: This is a very good car. It has decent mileage and lots thrust. I have owned 3- e90 sedans: a 2006 330i, 2007 335i, and now a 2011 335d. This car feels more solidly built. However, I lament the loss of the HK audio system (Logic 7) as being standard. HD makes up for it slightly. One must also be careful when starting off with the car. Too much throttle will squeal the tires and/or trigger the DTC. I am also hoping that some of the electronic gremlins present in the other e90s that I've owned have been addressed. With the holiday credits/tax credits it makes this car an appealing choice. The engine does not wind as high as its gasoline counterparts so the driving feels more relaxed. This does not mean that the car is boring. It is anything but boring.
