Really recommend switching to non-runflats at some point. I just switched last week to regular tyres and it's made a huge difference to comfort - really soaks up all the small bumps and undulations!

I had the same issue on my 435d, to stop the spongey feeling and more travel Just install a steel brake line! Dont know why people dont mention this but this will transform your brakes. Just try it out (costs around 100euros) and you will stop looking for 3k kits

@@hamesto6992 I would do but the problem I find is that a lot of the roads I drive on are utterly appalling. The other issue I have is that often I'm miles from home, so if I did get a puncture sitting at the roadside faffing about with a puncture repair kit is a lot more hassle than just continuing to drive but slowly. I once left the house for work at 6AM, noticed I had a flat rear runflat tyre. I drove to work on it (6 miles), back home again also 6 miles, then to work again the next day AND from work about 5 miles to the tyre garage to have replacements fitted. What standard tyre would get you 23 miles with little to no air in it? I've had standard tyres before and had punctures and every time had to stop within a mile because it's totally deflated. The other issue I have is that I can't afford to just simply lay out £1k in one go for decent summer tyres, and the front and rears seem to wear at different levels so need replacing at different times. If I replaced the RFT's for summer tyres when the fronts were worn I'd still have perhaps 4-5mm of tread left on the rear RFTs.

@@juanfranciscourrealeon1295 Thanks for your reply. I did look at this some months back when someone had one fitted to their car - but they stated it didn't really make much of a difference. I'll certainly revisit/reconsider this idea as it's not massively expensive to do.

@@thefiestaguy8831 i had the same feedback from the guy i trust with car maitenance, remap, etc i said to install itanyway and then he was shocked by the difference, better brake than his 540i :) google : brake line steel bmw 335d stahlflex

Yes, well I have a C 63 as well what drop did you get it in the front and what drop did you give it in the back? I’m ready to drop mine, so what springs I know the Edelbrock but what size front and back thank you I am Rick.

Congrats! Hope you're enjoying it

They are honestly great cars. I have 67 reg one in mineral grey. No heated seats or reverse camera but it has got parking sensors and standard cruise control (not the "Adaptive" cruise control). Was supposed to be around £20k and at the time I bought it I paid £18,300 including a 3 year warranty. 67 reg with 59,000 miles on it bought in December 2022, decent price to be fair, it was the only one advertised in the entire country that I found at that price for the age and mileage. Since then I've fitted the larger pro-nav 8.8 inch screen which I fitted and coded myself using Bimmercode, to replace the original 6.6 inch non-touchscreen which looks awful. For a big 3 litre diesel saloon it honestly goes like sh*t off a shovel when you want it to. I've left an AMG A45 for dead at a set of lights just before a large roundabout in Brighton even in the damp. I was away from the lights, onto the roundabout and at my exit before the A45 had even got fully onto the roundabout. When you want to relax and cruise around however it acts just like a normal comfortable cruiser, and I get easily 35-39mph without even trying and driving it like it should be driven a lot of the time. I've heard people state they can get 40-50mpg in these but I've never seen 50mpg. Best I got was about 45-46mpg on a long run on the M20 which was about 60-70 miles at 70mph with cruise control on. These things honestly give performance cars a serious run for their money. It pulls quicker than an M140i and M3 but slowly the 140i and the M3 will claw back the advantage and come past, the 335D is one of if not the quickest car off the line.

@@thefiestaguy8831 I ended up going Golf R 😅 spied a beautiful gunmetal grey one at a good price and couldn't pass it up. I'm already considering a 335d touring for my next one though once I've got the petrol phase out of my head 😉

@@kevmcd8603 I looked at the Golf R, although I prefer bigger cars. The only thing I can't stand is what I'd describe as a tacky interior, the Golf R has almost like picnic style chequered stitching on some of the cloth seat variants which just looks tacky. The steering wheel to me also looks and feels "low rent" as does the interior. For a car which costs £25,000-£35,000 it simply isn't good enough to me. I drove a Golf GTI rental from Zipcar on a few occasions and the interior just wasn't good enough for the price, when you compare it to other German brands. The performance is incredible, I saw a Golf R Fly past me a few years back when I had a Focus ST. I have the saloon version of the 335D and for me it's the perfect balance of space, comfort, efficiency and performance, rapid performance but isn't overly harsh, bouncy or uncomfortable, decent efficiency too with up to 50mpg from a 3 litre engine is quite impressive. I drive in a spirited manner most of the time and I can still achieve between 35 and 39mpg 99% of the time.

@@kevmcd8603how are you getting on with her ?

@@Thuds593 believe it or not I found a really well priced Mk7.5 Golf R the following month 😂 I'm still tempted by a 335/435 just to see what it's like remapped 👀
