Pre-Production version: US 335d

Sections: E90 3 Series, EfficientDynamics Aug 5th, 2008 9 Comments

Here is a nice little photos set from new BimmerFile contributer Mike. He was kind enough to snap some shots of a US spec 335d for us. So it would seem that there are US spec cars on the ground already; which plainly shows that BMW is way ahead of schedule getting these babies rolling in the States (joking here folks; if you have been following along you will get it!).

This particular car is equipped with the Sport Package and the beautiful wheels that come along with it. In the photos you can clearly see the filler for the AdBlue (read: UREA), a key component to the new emissions control system which should go about 10k before a refill. You can also see many of the new changes and of course the new iDrive system.

If you are unfamiliar with the new Advanced Diesels we recommend that you explore some here.

Thanks again Mike!

Such a shame that we don’t get the 123d in the US. As much as I want a Diesel, the 335d is pointless for me.

335d will get approx 7-8mpg better on both highway and city driving than 335i..

The new version of iDrive looks infinitely better. It’s about time BMW caught up with Lexus/Infiniti/Acura.

Glad to see BMW bringing the 335d to the States, hoping to see see this do well enough to convince them of the viability to bring the 1 series D also. A solid trend all in all.

Those wheels arent even offered in the new catalog. The 1 series hatchback diesel being spotted in New Jersey as well with MFG plates is a bit puzzling too. I wonder whats going on.

The facelifted 3 is growing on me

Nice, those wheels could rival the 162’s as my favorite for E9x

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
