The price of a diesel car is a bit higher, but in Europe gasoline cars loose a lot of value (less people want to buy them), so you will recover all the money (and more) you have invested in a diesel car. Just my European perspective.

For me there are two issues with the 335d. One, you can't get a manual transmission. Deal killer for me on a 3 series. Two, I like high revving engines.
