My 335d has been at delivery center for 2 weeks and I found out the delay was for epa testing and certification of emissions. I looked at the available testing info on the epa and other sites and was not happy that mine will undergo these tests. Having read what I read and wanting to break in my diesel, I have concerns about multiple dynometer starting/stopping/accelerating cycles with cold/warm engine temps, sitting at idle, driving cycles representing typical urban use and agressive high speed and/or high acceleration and deceleration tests. From what I could learn, there will be double-digit miles on the car. Anyone have info about this???
