Reliability of deleted 335D?
Hey all. Owned an e90 328i in the past. Now own an f30 335i. I daily a Honda Civic but I am kinda in love with the sound of a deleted 335d (sounds a lot like my buddies ram 2500 cummins.
Anyhow, I was wondering what the common issues with this car would be provided I found one that was deleted. I know diesels suffer from the emissions systems. I don't want to get out of a perfectly reliably civic for one if it's going to be a nightmare. The 328 had starter, water pump, VCG etc issues and I am just wondering what your take on this is. I'd love to daily a 335d and have a 335i as a weekend car. Thanks in advance. |

The emissions systems are not necessarily unreliable. I'm still 100% stock and have no issues at all. DEF tank and NOx sensor was replaced under warranty several years ago, but that's about it emission related. The only things I do that may be considered special is to 1) only use top tier fuel; 2) never use any additives; and 3) avoid short trips with the D whenever possible (aka - use the other car). Very true, if not deleted it will never sound like a cummins, but it still has it's own unique sound. |

Just FYI. NJ does not sniff OBD2 cars anymore. For the diesel it's check paperwork, plug into OBD2 looking for error codes or any systems not ready, running over mirrors to visually inspect underneath, and that's it. Because the fuel tank is atmospherically vented, they skip the fuel tank vapor leak test that would be performed on a gasoline powered car.
At some point I'll be selling my D. My driving profile has changed to mostly short trips that I avoid using the D for, thus does it not get much use anymore. However every time I get on the highway and it effortlessly purrs (that diesel sound) along, I think it's not time yet. Last edited by kbsilver; 02-05-2020 at 08:07 AM.. |
