I bought mine CPO and then carbon buildup symptoms started showing (CEL, lower MPGs, more regen cycles). My dealer started throwing parts at it even though I told them it was carbon buildup. They finally figured out it was carbon buildup and cleaned it out after about $6k worth of various parts and labor, all covered under warranty. After all of that I was leery of it and looking to trade it in, but depreciation hit it hard in that time frame. Since then I haven’t had any troubles, but its always sitting in the back of my mind, but I recently turned over 100k miles, so its not worth much anymore and I’ve pretty much decided to keep it (plus every car I look to replace it with gets worse mileage and probably costs more to maintain.) It makes a great daily.

That basically sounds like what I found when I looked into them. I was like, yeah I don’t have the money for a random 4k repair anymore, and it seems like carbon build up plus DPF issues are common enough for it to not be worth the risk to me. I’m going to get an N/A 3. After going 2/2 on throttle position actuators with the M3, I figured I would have similar luck with a 335d. Sounds like it does make an incredible daily. Honestly if I was still in oil I would love to pick one up and put and LSD in it.
