New motor

Well finally got my 320d swapped for a lovely 330d msport in le mans blue. Loving the ride and the wheels are proper sexy. They swapped em due to scuffing on the old ones. I just need to get better than 11 mpg. Need to relax that right foot

I'll have a look in the daylight. To be honest I only got it today and did reset the mpg counter. I did get a bit excited so Im sure I can get 40 or mid 40 when I calm down a bit

VERY nice. E92 in the best colour with the best alloy choice and the best compromise engine in the range for power versus performance.

A superb car / choice, IMHO.

TERRIBLE pictures though. What's the matter with you man

its a coupe so big wing mirrors are LCI which you havnt got but i would rather the wing mirrors on your car, plus you have the best alloys that someone has gone to the trouble putting on

Took the pics quickly. Everyone know what they look like anyway !! Just driven it back from Lincoln and loved every. Invite of it. Goes great and the driving position is perfect. I thinkill be keeping this car for a long time. Has anyone got the iPod USB thingy. Mines got the capability but not sure what I need to use it rather than the 3mm jack connection.

It's the crap parking at our house. Certainly not hiding it. Would a remap do much to it. Not saying I want to but just wondered if anyone else has remapped theirs ?

I'll be remapping mine after the AUC warranty runs out. Not going to risk the warranty following 6 injectors, 3 coils being replaced.....

The dealer put em on. They shipped the car from down south and it had its original rims on. When they did the inspection they were scuffed and didn't have time to get the detailer in to sort them out, so they swapped them for the ones on it now. To be honest they had a 40k 330d msport in white in the showroom with the same rims and it looked awesome so when they wheeled mine out I was well I impressed.
