After about 2 1/2 years of being out of the E90 game I decided I needed another one.

Apparently that's about how long you should go between SGM E90 ownership.

Some of you may remember my 335i from years past:



After parting it out and selling it to a dude who flew up from VA, I rocked a Legacy GT for a few years, but missed everything about this chassis.

To keep myself out of trouble, snagged a very clean 06 330i which is literally a carbon copy of my 335. Sport Package, Premium Package, Cold Weather, Nav, 6MT, RWD etc.




Going to do my best to not throw a ton of money at this thing but we all know how that goes. I already pulled out the grills and took care of that unsightly chrome.




Will need rear struts eventually. Will I actually just put struts in it or will this thing end up with KW's like the last one? I'll be sure to update as things happen to it - tune in to find out haha.

Glad to be back!

The car drives surprisingly similarly to a 335i around town until you romp on it, and obviously the power isn't there.

I have 4g63 powered turds if I want to go fast, this was more for a comfortable daily that handles well and is nice and quiet/comfortable to cruise around in.

Although I will say even the BMW Performance exhaust has a nice note on the 330's!

Welcome back! Nice to see a fellow MA resident.

I test drove a 330 before deciding I wanted a bit more, but it was definitely a great car. Enjoy!

I could see that for sure. I loved my 335, but at 1/3 the price of what I had paid for my 335, the 330 is all I could ask for a car in its price range.

Under 100k miles, maintained well by the previous owner. It has a few bumps and scrapes but what 10 year old car from the city doesn't. I'm going to enjoy this one for a while.
