[330xd_e91]

I am new to the forum having just purchased a new-to-me BMW 330xd E91.

After looking at many different versions, I choose a silver/beige 2007 model with a manual gearbox and FBMWSH at 136k KMs. I was not really interested in the fact that it had comfort access, voice control, navigation, 6-cd autochanger, auto lights and wipers or adaptive cruise control as these were not features I had ever had before. However, after a 2,500 KM holiday in Provence I can tell you they are amazing things!

I have never driven a car that is so effortless -- cruising at 130km/h on the autoroute -- returning 38.2 mpg -- and running for 900 kms or so on a tank of fuel. It is extremely comfortable for two people, two bikes and all the kit we needed. It also has the panorama roof so if we felt like some sun we could just crank the roof and enjoy the breeze.

Looking forward to adding another 100,000 kms to the car.
