Wink just bought a 2006 330i

40K miles, black on black 6-speed..needs some love, new tires(they hummed pretty good @70mph), valve cover gasket seep, needs brake flush and cabin filter as well, both over due. Over all pretty happy, got her for $19K..needed a beater so I dont put a ton of miles on my E92 M3, plus the E92 guzzles gas..looking at Turner Motorsport Tune and a magnaflow exhaust, that's about it..

Those run flats are the biggest joke IMO. BMW should have just designed the car with a cheap spare tire like all the other cars. Glad that the 330 only needs easy DIY repairs. I got the Michelin Pilot Sports because they have decent grip and last well over 50k. If I wasnt wanting my tires to last as long I would have gotten the BFG G Force KDW 2. Those tires are sick with the flame tread pattern.

I think TMS uses the AA tune, I am going with that tune from them since I have a commercial account with Turner. The magnaflow exhaust shows up next week. As far as the beater....Well when I have an e92 M3, Z4 28s-drive M-sport, F10 528i and a F30 328i..then yes she is a beater..will see if I can get some more pics of our business associates McLaren MP4 for you..
