My new car/proper hello
So having now made a few posts, I am able to post my own thread to introduce myself and the new object of my desire which I have recently purchased
I have lusted after a 335i for a while and decided to take the plunge after finding one which I instantly feel in love with the look of and then was sold as soon as I got behind the wheel for a drive. This is now my third BMW, my previous was an Individual E46 330ci vert in Velvet Blue. I took a few photos before driving off after purchase and unfortunately my camera battery hadn't charged as I thought and died, so the rest of the pics are iphone I'm afraid- have had no further opportunity to take any due a hearty combination of work and awful weather! I must say this forum has been extremely helpful so far (I was having a good old lurk before signing up), a wealth of knowledge all in one place Here she is.... |

Thanks for the kind comments, it was quite a long journey I had to take to find a suitable car with a manual box, but that plus the wheels on this one sold it for me, really finish the car off nicely I think
Mwp4me, they are 19" staggered CSL's. It was indeed Maundrell & Co, I had grand designs for a good few photos in front of that stag before realising my battery hadn't charged on the camera! |

I think it's 235 at the front and 265 at the back off the top of my head... can't remember the profile without going and checking, which I will do for you at some point in due course when it's slightly less dark and white outside!

Thanks, had a similar grey interior in the old car as well, brightens up the cabin nicely.
No mats in this one though, undicided whether to get grey which will be a nightmare to keep clean again or black and let it match the other contrasting darker bits. Glad I'm not totally alone on the black kidneys |

Thanks again for the kind comments
I am itching to get out and have another proper drive, this would be the disadvantage of buying a car in the middle of winter. Only slight annoyance I have with the car is the Sat Nav DVD/cd player- why on earth, in any form, did BMW think it would be a good idea for these to double up as the same thing? Utterly stupid idea! |

Lovely car mate.
Yes buying a car now is unlucky! We can't really push it too much. But im sure you'll be amazed even more once its dry. Last edited by mob17; 01-20-2013 at 05:54 AM.. Reason: Typo |
