They haven't been out long here so long term its hard to say. Supposed to be
very fun cars to drive and quite easy on fuel.
If I had that kind of money burning a hole in my pocket I'd probably pick one
up.

Are these the ones that had the same engine that Lincoln used in their
diesels (along with the Vixen motorhomes)?
Head gasket was a trouble spot on those.

335D is the like a 524TD, in the same way a 320 CDI is like a 300 SDL.
Decades apart, in other words.

They sell a lot of BMW diesels in Europe now. As you say, The problem
diesels are now decades behind them. If there were such problems, I'm sure
it would be well reported. Hard to keep such problems quiet with things
like YouTube and the internet now.
If the car isn't took old, I think BMW
BMW hooked up with Peugeot, who made some of the finest diesels.
Had two 504's. Bullet proof drive trains/motors.
Actually, Peugot produced the first commercialy sold diesel passenger car,
ahead of Daimler Benz.

The 504s were the boxy type cars, weren't they? I was always fond of the
styling, but then again, I've liked a number of French cars over the
years. Peugeots were sold here in Canada in the 70s I believe, but no
longer are. I really like some of their current offerings too. If they

I just cannot imagine ever owning a French car. The old joke:
Heaven Is Where:
The French are the chefs
The Italians are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time
Hell is Where:
The British are
Boxy, maybe, but they had that strangely slopng rear end. One had to get
used to it.
Last one I had was a '82. Traded it in for a used 123 in '86 + a ton of
cash.
Resale value of these cars was zip.
When it comes to Ero's, here is my take:
Brits - non exist, barely
Germans - Over priced and over
That's pretty funny except, the French were actually responsible for Bugatti
and the Citroen DS- a legend. Andrew and I have a good French friend in DC and
he is one hell of a good shadetree mechanic!

Imagination is one thing. Experience is another.
The French can't cook. The Italians do.
The Swiss can count money, so do the Germans
And the Brits built some of the best looking cars in the past, non of them
fit to go past towing distance from the garage.

lol, I'll have to copy and save that one! :-)
Don't know about the cars though, there are a few I'd love to own. One of
my neighbours bought an old DS a few years back, and drives it in the
summer. I would love to have that car!!! So advanced for it's time, and
is still super cool today. For
The Bugattis were cool cars, but not so sure they were any wonders of
engineering. Not until the Germans from VW came along anyway. Still, they
had some cool ideas, and they were pretty committed to the idea of building
light cars, like the type 35, when Bentley were building cars there were

Not around here. Though I've canceled all but basic cable TV so I only
see local advertising for the most part.
