Bored of the 320d so upgraded to a 330d coupe

Pretty nice spec on it

Sunroof

Sat Nav

Heated leather seat with electric movement

Xenons

Cruise control

Auto with flappy paddles

Front and rear parking sensors

Bet that shifts with a good map on it 

280bhp + apparently

Nice! Upgrade on the wheelbarrow edition. What is it? SE with MV3s? Nice spec, jealous of the Nav and Xenons, do the headlights have the rings? 

Yeah SE but with a load of options, previous owner must have fitted the MV3's which is good news for me. All im going to do is remove the wheel spacers from the old car and put them on

My 320d booked at £3200 but they are giving me £4400 for it so im happy enough at that

I like the sunroof the best as i've never had one

The nav's the older style one but better than nothing i suppose

Yeah i think it has halo's think the xenons come with them

I wonder how long it will take you to put m sport bumpers on lol nice looking car mate

What kind of money is a 7.5 year old 330 now then?

They do map well, makes for an impressive car.

 

 

Nice descriptive thread title.

Very nice! Sometimes wish I bought a 330 instead of a 320d....

8500

I always wanted a 3litre diesel bmw but couldnt afford the insurance, but now i have a clean license again i wanted a bit more oomph

Nice car Jase, dont think you will regret this move

Nothing too exciting

Picked the car up on friday and i love it. What a world of difference away from a 320d. Also loving the spec on it. Has soo much kit on it. With coming from an ES model (lucky to have a radio) you really appreciate the extra's

Today's job was clean the engine bay

that is cool whats the mpg like compared to the 20d?

Not too bad obviously its been pedal to the metal since i've got it and i've been working away but going from parkers stats

320d combined 49 mpg

330d combined 43mpg

I went and picked it up and on the journey back (20 miles i got 47mpg combined sitting at nsl with a few half throttle blips)

I would say around 35-40mpg would be my guess real world combined mpg. Seems to sit over 50mpg on the guage on a run so should be quite good i would say

Boring update really

But as we all know the rubber on the oem steering wheel fascia is a joke.

So i have tonight wrapped it in carbon wrap, looks much better imo

And so it begins

Eibach pro springs en route

My wheel needs doing, looks crap flaking off, yours looks much better!

Your old one?

Your old one?

Yeah thats my old one.

They seem to have fabricated some facts in it though.

Rear bumper is stock

Seats are out of a model year 2010 msport (not m3)

Wheels are 2 years old and kerbed

Missed the msport suspension on it though

Steering controls do not work (never wired and coded in)

And needs a new clutch and flywheel

Oh and rear bumper needs respraying

6k no chance

At least you have the msport wheel though :(

Lowered with eibcahs and plate on

Gave the brakes a lick of paint

After

Yours looks very similar, just the thumb bits missing? How hard was it getting the trim off? Might give it a bash

Painted wheels gloss black

£12 all in

Im not normally a fan of black wheels but i have to say that your car looks better with the black wheels.   

I keeping looking at the 330 or the 335 D E92 (I think) Touring as my next car and reading the fuel stats that is pretty impressive for a 3 Litre diesel. 

 

Whats it like to drive every day now you have had it for a while?
