I had 335D for three years and it was a wonderful car. No major problems except few emission software updates, and recall for EGR. Price of the diesel was more expensive for most of the time but $4500.00 eco credit helped big time. My average millage was around 26MPG (I got up to 40MPG on log trips) because majority of the driving was in the city. Few months a go I ordered 2014 535D, but when I found out that July and August build cars had no 704 M Sport suspension(very important to me) and the eco credit was not available I canceled my order and got 2013 535 M Sport. IMO unless you are driving long distance on the highway every day diesel in not as economical as you would expect (at least 6 cylinders one). Plus 535d cost around 2 grand more then 535I. Again its personal preference and I’m not trying to justify my 535I purchase. LOL!
