Any other questions let me know.

Do you mean it is barely noticeable as in the downward bit or the tailpipe is not noticeable?

The reason I am not happy is because in my opinion 320d has the ugliest (sorry) tailpipe of all the 3 series while it is not the cheapest variant. If the dealer cant do anything about it. I will find a muffler man to replace it with a dual chrome tail pipes.

Sorry I hope I did not offend you mentioning "ugly tailpipe"

Great Looking car!

Same here, we bought our 323i in October

Congrats on the new baby

No prob, by the way just noticed I have the exact same colour combo as your car, Good stuff.

Expected delivery date Thursday 22 March. I love the lemon/poplar/Graphite combo. After 4 months wait, finally the car is coming this week.

Dammit...I got mine in Aug 05 and really wanted electric seats but they were a rip off...rear split seats were an option I ticked...

Everything moves on though and it's a good tactic to justify the continual yearly price increases...."we've included $4000 worth of options and only increased the price $1500"

Apparently the price stayed exactly the same. Maybe because the new Merc C Clas on its way in June?

Beautiful car!!! Always been a fan of 193's!! The reason I havn't gotten new wheels is the fact I can't decide which ones I want!

davecat · 03-20-2007, 02:33 AM

Thanks for the comments guys! So far so good I’ve had no real issues with the 320D apart from a tiny dint I found on the rear side panel just above the bumper that will be sucked out at the dealers expense (don’t you just love new car warranty!)

One thing I can say is that the engine is a brilliant piece of engineering. Having never owed a D before I did question my decision on countless occasions (to my wife's bemusement), but to be completely honest I couldn't be happier.

Its bloody brilliant!!

astra · 03-21-2007, 05:46 PM

great to hear you are happy with the car davecat!!

AK · 03-21-2007, 07:41 PM

Congrats on your new car! Nice drive

Looks a lot like mine

Check out the OEM CF rear deck spoiler!
It transforms the rear end from just nice
to something you want to smack

astra · 03-22-2007, 12:11 AM

oh i saw those at the dealers... gotto say - pretty sexy lookin

moO moO nEL · 03-22-2007, 12:16 AM

just tell your dealer you are also interested in the new C class...
they will say yes to any reasonable offer

ed-320d · 03-22-2007, 07:57 AM

My 320d is finally here today. Here are some pictures and I did replace the down ward tail pipe(more pics to follow).

davecat · 03-22-2007, 09:51 PM

Congrats mate! Looks like yours came with all the free upgrades as well. Chan-Ching!

docbeemer · 03-23-2007, 12:54 AM

Nice car. Looking at the front-on pic, wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to put number plates on the front. No drill holes, just a wicked looking front end.
