Picked up my 335i a few weeks ago. Please excuse the fogs as the picture is from the advert. Loving everything about it at the moment with the possible exception of fuel consumption!

If you did want to keep the wheels, then I had the same issue with a cracked RIM on my 335D M Sport 18's. Took it to my local tyre place and they said they use an excellent alloy repairer as this is such a common issue, they repaired it for £60 and took a day. That was nearly a year ago and no issues, might be good for a quick fix till you find the right set of alloys you fancy... Obviously repairers vary, but i'd reco these and in the East London area. Let me know if you want their details.

Yellow! Im not to E90 as a member but I have used the forums for my own mods, troubleshooting, and so on for over a year now. Bought a 2007 335XI in June of 2011. Had a bad vacuum hose at 50k, HPFP, Injectors, and Plugs replaced all from reading E90. Mods include injen dual code intake, JB4 with usb, LED Angel Eyes and 1 Black Burger Motorsports decal.

You won't be dissapointed!! Great cars to own and drive all round there isn't a dedicated place on the uk section but there is a place on the main site http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3 other than that they are scattered around on the uk section, Shame really as coming from being a e46 owner and being on e46zone for over 3 years with dedicated places for set things it is bit of a let down to the site but the information you can find on here is spot on

Hi all,

I'm a newbie here, having bought a 335i back in August this year. I'll create a new thread with a lot more pictures and info, but in the mean time I need to get my first 3 posts out of the way first...

HI guys just thought I`d say hello as I`ve just arrived over here from the VW scene.Have had a lifetime of Vw`s and owned every model of GTI
However I have now decided its time to move on and get something more age appropriate
So I have just become the proud owner of a BMW 335D M-Sport,with lots of toys.
Completly different animal from the Mk5 GTI I had before!
Anyway heres a pic of the car and I look forward to some subtle changes with the help of this Forum.

Morning guys.

I just thought I would say hello. I placed a deposit on a nice 2008 330i M Sport touring and hopefully collecting next week. I have just sold my e46 330d touring, a car which I loved but just don't need a diesel anymore. I am a huge bmw fan, having owned several over the years including a e39 530i sport, z3m, and my favourite a 130i.

I have it loads of questions about the new car so will start a thread. I'm a member of loads of car forums and I hope this one is as helpful as the others have been. Here is a quick picture from the dealer.



Cheers

I am truly jealous of your interior, that saddle brown/cinnamon colour is so rare So hats off to you

HELLO!



Genuine newbie here! Just picked up my '09 320d M Sport for christmas and am chuffed to pieces about it! Having previously pottered around in a 307, it's fair to say that I've been missing out!

She's done ~40k - are there any hefty services coming up, or anything I should be aware of? I was given a bill for a £500 'oil change' service (+ filters galore) but luckily some twonk had forgot to reset the car's CBS indicators.

When the weather cheers up, I'll get the clay out and clean her good and proper but for the time being:

Returnee rather than new member, been away for a while.

In the process of selling my 130i as i've just bought an E91 330i family wagon.
Cruise, Xenons, Panoramic roof, heated leather, sun protection, etc.

Already had to reset the sunroof and have put darklines on the car (bought it yesterday!) and i've got a towbar in the garage which i'll be fitting this week
Currently sorting out a set of winter wheels and tyres as i live in deepest, darkest Gloucestershire and everything is a hill!

Looking forward to plundering the depths of knowledge and hopefully helping a few people out along the way too...

Hi, i remember your awesome 130i from babybmw.net. I to missed my 130i, my 330d just wasn't cutting it for me so I picked up my 08 plate 330i touring last week and I love it so far. Mines auto with flappy paddle which I'm enjoying more than I expected.

Your new car sounds fantastic. Enjoy it
