Definitely a different kind of ride but I am a diesel fan and totally believe you could squeeze 40+ MPGs out of it. Definitely not a drivers car like the Z though

It has been a few + years but I owned one Bimmer in my life. Had a black on black 635 M6 and loved the hell out of it. The only thing I did not like was repair cost. When I did have a repair it was costly. Costly = blanket statement

Surprising to read that statement...this is definitely a drivers car.

i love my 335xi

they handle really nice. obviously they lack that raw sports car feel of the 370z but that is to be expected since they aren't sports cars

BMW's generally have fantastic driving feel. Any 3 series is more or less a drivers car. It might not be as fast as a Z around corners, but it would still be a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

Sorry to see the Z go, but a 335d sounds like a great car

Congrats! Sounds like you're happy with the decision.

Side note 1. I've owned a stage 1 turbo car (Evo IX) and surprise surprise... not one problem (other than that big truck demolishing it at a stop light)

Side note 2. How the hell did you sell the Z?! Voodoo magic?? I couldn't get rid of mine for 24.5K!!!! WTF.

Side note 3. IBTL

Hahahahaaaaa... I would call a truck demolishing your car a serious problem... lol.
Thank god you're ok and you are here to tell this bit of info in an entertaining manner instead of a horror story.

There's a saying that matches perfectly for this thread.

Opinions are like a$$holes... everybody has one. This is definately a personal preference issue with no right or wrong. And turbo-diesels are pretty reliable. Its turbo sports cars that test reliability due to higher boost ratios. I'm not sure what is going to happen when op chips a diesel cuz I have no experience there... but good luck to ya.
