Looking for actual MPG figures to help decide between the 330D and the 335D. Any help appreciated

Quite a fair bit more on insurance, but more importantly, can't seem to find any relatively new (09/59) tourings for sale?

out of interest whats the difference in insurance for you between the 335D and 330D

i had a E46 330d tourer(40mpg av) prior to my e92 335d(30mpg av)

and the answer is simples................

330d - economy with a little performance(comparitively)
335d - performance

PS........... Insurance

Wife 44 and me 35 - fully comp
330d was about £360
335d is £600

Go for the 335D, you will always want one if you buy a 330D so spend a little more on diesel and have what you want.

My 335D will do near 40 or good long steady drives, more like 30 in day to day short A road blasts with a bit of fun thrown in.

The trip computer says 30.3 mpg on my 330D e91 and thats mainly town driving with the odd motorway trip.

On that basis I'd agree with Davyk31. If he's getting similar mpg I'd rather have the 335d although I did just get an evolve remap to make me feel better.

Hi
There is quite a difference between the 'old' and the new 330d engine. I have a dec 09 e91 lci 330d auto now done 10k miles which is now showing an average 43.4 on the obc (reset 1.5k ago). I do a mix of mostly a and b roads with little motorway. Any motorway trips are usually at enthusiastic speeds!

I'm sure a manual would be better, its just a pity that they didn't fit the 8 speed auto for the 2010 model year.

56 335d.

on a solid motorway only run being sensible i can get late 30's up to around 41.5 i think was the best

although my usual mix of rushing because i'm late and town driving puts me at an av of 34.5 - 37ish typically.

current tank i've done bournemouth, guildford and reading runs hitting 37.

My LCI e90 330d Auto shows 47mpg on OBC, but calculates at 45 generally. (about 550 miles between fill-ups)

I think from observation of peoples comments the 335d will do about 5mpg less than an Auto 330d.

Thanks for you replies everyone, really have been useful.

The 335D is looking more likely now

Still pretty reasonable relatively

Only if mine was that low!

[ed335d]

I got an average of 34mpg out of a 335d e92 over 2 years

[ibanezking]

335d 07 - 30mpg is average as i'm around town alot - school run etc

but the others are quite right - cruising at 75-85 will give 40 to 45 ish
