Stopped for a sip of diesel in the BMW today (Volvo ready on Saturday) - when I parked at the pump, I got out of the car leaving the engine running in (Transmission goes into Park when the door opens) - being in Rhyl I locked the car and the engine and ignition went off, unlike the 430.
Reflecting on the ownership of the 335 over the last 2.5 years, I have to say it has been a fine motor and workhorse - in that time I've put 32000 miles on it, it has been faultless (apart from a non functioning second "tone" on the horn - replaced under warranty) Had a new set of boots at 22k - the current tyres have plenty of tread on them. Averaged around 40mpg despite using the performance - I never experienced the "kick down" - the incredible acceleration this car has has to be experienced to be appreciated. Time to get rid for a number of reasons. If BMW had been able to source me an used 340 XDrive I would have gone for it.
