Hi, nice look car. Welcome to the club

bmwjunky · 04-12-2012, 08:05 AM

I wouldn't mind a diesel!

E90Company · 04-12-2012, 08:44 AM

Nice car. Welcome

dcat151 · 04-12-2012, 09:03 AM

Good looking car. Welcome!

MrPig · 04-12-2012, 09:10 AM

Man, how I want a small block diesel in NA

How come it has the LCI headlights but pre-LCI grilles? Still, looks nice!

abgs87 · 04-12-2012, 09:40 AM

Diesel made most sense over here! Fuel prices are ridiculous atm! That is a very good question! I just typed black e90 grill in eBay and that's what I got! Haha.

I just realised yours isn't the new facelift model even though it's the late 2008. how many miles has it done. what you pay for it?

Isn't that just the reflector not being orange because of DOT regs?

OP: nice car

The best kidney grille for this body color is the combination one: stock chrome frame and black slates. The contrast created by chrome frame makes it look better.

Manboy · 04-12-2012, 02:22 PM

Without a doubt the coolest color around

GreekboyD · 04-12-2012, 02:24 PM

Welcome, I own a 2009 335d in Toronto, Canada. Here's a direct link to the "Turbo Diesel" boards and some mods to my car:

Is the 318d a turbo-diesel. We just got the 2.0 turbo gasoline engine this year in the US. It is in the 328 replacing the 3.0 6 cylinder non-turbo gasoline (petrol) in the same car.

I only just noticed that we have the same age car but yours is the facelift model! Mine must have been one of the last few! I paid £10'900 for it. 80'000 on the clock but got a full service history and they threw in 2 years warranty as well. How much did you pay for yours??
