    They are a fantastic car but you'll need to give more info - price, year spec etc. The difference between an 07 and 08 is very significant in the tax.

    Fantastic car. Much as I would shy away from Main dealers and their prices, I dont think I would buy a 335d anywhere else. A 2 year manufacturer warranty on a modern diesel bi turbo bmw is very worthwhile and worth a few thousand euro.

    Used - thats what the bmw main dealers are offering now, no doubt as a result of customer fears over reliability/repair costs

    That'll be our biggest problem in a few years with 07-10 cars that people bought and couldn't afford to service.

    the 335d and to a lesser extent the 330 cd.

    are they really expensive to service.? I am sheepishly thinking of getting a 330cd in the uk, screw the accord.

    To service no.
    A 330cd would have less to go wrong than a 335 too. You'd be unlucky to buy a 330cd and regret it running cost wise.

    the 330cd in E46 form falls under the valueline service in BMW dealers and the prices are hard to beet, even using indy's.

    E92 are a bit more expensive to service in the BMW network, but as long as you use the correct item and oil, then an good indy is a good alternative once its out of warranty.

    thats the toned down 325d, although with a very very respectable 197bhp as standard.
