Hmm I really don't know about them. I've seen some pics that look pretty good on the US part of this site but I think its a in the flesh mod to see. Worth a shot if you can get them for decent price. You could always sell them on again

Tempted. I expect a huge backlash from M owners though...

Emailed Teddy to see if there's any room on the price :-)

No mate, I love the 320d. I think its a cracking motor. I had great fun ragging a mates one up Santa Pod.

I dont agree with 335 replicas though!

Cool, sorry to go on the defensive then! That said, I guess I am rapidly heading in the 335 replica direction though. Oops!

Massive improvement yeah, feels far more like a petrol engine now. It used to struggle when cruising at say 70mph where as now it pulls without a changedown.

Lovely. A black SE - splendid

You missed a bit on the reg plate though - looks like a big yellow squidge...

Just washing mine at the moment (often) - going to polish the paint and seal the wheels once the weather calms down and the salt stops being flung on the roads.

Even if I drive an inch, the car gets foul at the moment.
