OK, I just had to do the calculation:

335d gets 36mpg on freeway. 328 gets 28mpg. The price difference between the models is 10k. Premium gas at Shell is $4, and diesel is $4.13. You need to drive ~320,000 freeway miles to brake even...

In terms of city driving, 328 gets 18mpg and 335d gets 22mpg, so you have to drive even more to break even..
