Pics of my E92 330d M Sport Coupe LCI

fivespice · 11-24-2011, 08:23 PM

Well I guess it was about time I became an official member of these boards by collecting my very first bmw, yesterday

It is a 2010 330d M Sport Coupe in Space Grey with Oyster Dakota/Aluminium Glacier, bought from Menzies BMW in Stirling. Does it look familiar to anyone??
Previous owner was pretty generous with the options, with Pro Nav/USB 6FL & 6NF/Bluetooth/PDC Front & Rear/Heated seats/Lumbar support all included.
I am a little bit disappointed it didn't have the 19" 313Ms but the price was pretty good so I went for it. The Oyster interior however, is just fantastic to look at. At first I was set upon finding a Titanium Silver/Black but after seeing this example at the dealership in combination with the dark glacier trim, it was a winner!

Some initial reactions:
I'm experiencing a fair bit of tramlining occasionally. Although the roads around where I stay are pretty crap, is this be expected from a car like this, and should I get it checked out?
The telephone USB connection 6NF - What does this do exactly, over the more common 6FL? The iPhone 4 snap-in accessory was provided FOC but apart from holding my phone securely and charging it, it dosen't seem to do much else lol e.g. I can't seem to be able to play music from it, other than streaming over bluetooth?

That is very nice!

Sweet motor

Thanks everyone

The colour combo looks great.

M3-FAST · 11-25-2011, 03:46 AM

Car looks great - don't think it has been owned by anyone on here?

To answer some of your questions - I had an M-sport vert and that tramlined on certain surfaces also - it is to be expected with low profile wide unforgiving run flts I am afraid

Surprisingly, the current M3 on non-runflats doesn't tramline half as much.

6NF allows bluetooth streaming, without it you would only be able to connect via the USB port (6FL)

Fantastic car with a cracking engine! Welcome to the forum, I don't stay too far from you in Falkirk. I have 313's on my e92 The roads around are terrible and you will just have to get used to tram lining. I got my 330d in September from Peter vardy in Edinburgh but I have used Menzies in the past with my old 325d. Is that picture from the thistles car park?

bmwak · 11-25-2011, 04:52 AM

Looks nice

fivespice · 11-25-2011, 05:39 AM

Thanks for that guys. Guess I'll just have to get used to the tramlining then. I havent driven it much, the wind and rain was just horrendous last night.

Scotgc- I remember your pics when you had yours delivered. Fantastic looking car in white, suits it very well! Car park is a private underground area where I live.

M3-FAST- I was hoping for iPhone/iPod screen replication with the cradle installed, but upon further research it seems I also need 6NR to be able to do this, doh!!!

mc_blue · 11-25-2011, 01:40 PM

Looks brilliant to me - very nice specification too.

Reggie-g75 · 11-25-2011, 01:58 PM

Nice motor.... Cosmetically, what are the external differences between the LCI and pre LCI e92s?

Tramlining - run flats and tyre pressures....

atariboy · 11-25-2011, 02:43 PM

Nice motor....congrats

Agreed, my vert also tramlined on some roads. Can get a little hairy at times

Love the space grey. Great car.

Nice little video here explaining some of the changes:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=400249/

Apart from the head and tail lights, the only other things I can think of are the bigger side view mirrors and the rear diffuser now painted a gloss black.

I'm hoping to get some proper photos soon. Its been raining almost non stop here since I got it.

Interior is superb. Very nice colour combo. Congrats on the purchase.

Reggie-g75 · 11-26-2011, 02:40 PM

The interior is very nice, I would have gone for this given the choice... Black and black is a bit dull.....
