Im back in a BMW!
Been a while since me E30M3, just blew up the Bora TDi and jumped at the chance to go to the dealer and pick up an E90 330d.
Going in for a remap this Friday, pleased with the car - just needs more beans.
It was between this and a VXR8, which had the same torque..... no brainer really. 330d FTW!

Oh - and hello

Hi all

I just bought a 320D M Sport E92. I love it. What a car. Can't wait to chip it though, moving from a clio 172 cup ( in case anyone knows that car ) I need a wee bit more speed.

Love this forum, so much to offer.

Sherv!

Morning everyone, In a few hours i will be taking delivery of an 09 E92 335d M Sport Highline from Soper BMW in Lincoln, and I can't wait! I will be trading in my beloved 07 Audi S3 which i have thoroughly enjoyed (370 BHP Stage 2+). Looking forward to meeting you guys, and asking the usual noob things about my exciting new car!
A bit about me, I'm 32 years old live in North East Lincs. I work offshore in the Southern North sea on Gas platforms (rigs).

Hi all,

They say once you go Jap, you dont go back, well, I have.

I have been a fan of Jap cars all my life, I still am but due to a change in personal circumstances I have had to grow up and think more about mpg and finances so I have bought a mint 50k miles, 2007 (57) plate BWM E90 330d M Sport in Le Mans blue. It has had 1 previous very careful owner and a FBMWSH.

The car is of the following spec:

Nokian WR A3 winter tyres 225/40/18 - 245/40/18 (I will get new summer non runflat tyres soon).
Parrot MKi9200 bluetooth kit

A bit about my past cars:

Yes, the BMW is a lovely car now it's been mapped but some of the other cars were awesome!

I'm actually out in the Evo at the moment as I still have it until all funds have cleared and I have to say as I've not driven it since buying the BMW 2 weeks ago, it's so much more direct than but everytime I nail it I just see £ signs and my fuel needle moving closer and closer to game over

[mierzwin]

Hello to everyone! Bought recently e90 330i 05reg. Moving from A3 3.2.

See you on the road!

[Richardjpfrichard]

Hi everybody,

Another newbie to this Forum, done a few searches on here and looks a very informative place and a friendly place too.

On my second e9x now. Had an e92 325i until December last but then my dad in laws car came up for sale as he was buying a new car. So sold the 325i and bought the 330d e90 msport off my dad in law. It's just turned 6 years old, had 16k miles on it and had never seen rain. I drive 90 miles round trip to work each day so it made sense to take the diesel option plus it's specced very well and the pedigree of the car seemed like a no brainer

Cheers

Richard

Sorry, forgot to mention that I've also got a relatively healthy obsession with mk3 Ford Escorts.

The only stored picture I have of my e92 is shown below, you can just make it out if you look closely



Here's a better photo of one of the Escorts:



As soon as I get some photos of the e90 I will post some up.

Hi

Thought I would say hello. I just put down a deposit on a 07 low mileage 335i and can't wait to pick it up some time this week.

I came from a RX8 with a turbo and alot of modification so I guess you really do go back.

Anyway looking forward to learning and participating here. Let's hope my only questions and worries are what mods to add next.

Cheers

Nick

[Scott330i]

Hi folks, I've been looking through this forum for a week or so now and it's great to see everyone getting involved and the knowledge and passion that is shared is brilliant.

I have just signed the docs on a low mileage 58 330i in Le Mans Blue with black leather and bluetooth. Just waiting on the DVLA transfering my vanity plate and I'll be good to go. It'll be my 3rd BMW, having owned a 93 5 series and an 89 3 series in the past before taking leave of my senses and buying things like a 3.2 Sovereign and a 5.3 Daimler Double Six. The 330i replaces my Audi A6 3.2 that I have had for 15 months.

Looking forward to contributing where I can !

(will load up pics once I work out how to do it from my iphone)

Scott.

Just thought i would say hello, I am 27 live in kent and have just bought a late 2007 335d m sport coupe, 85k , FBMWSH in black and I love it! any advice or tips would be appreciated. Cheers Nick

[Josh1a1h]

Nick! That looks great!

I started with my Angel eyes (Alpine HID angel eyes), Front grill (BMW Performance gloss black), and tinting the windows made a large difference to the cosmetics.

[Nickc123]

Sorry to be a newbie, but is mine an LCI version? and someone also mentioned having a 335d m sport with cream leather is pretty rare? Just curious and yeah I have been looking at these angel eye led upgrade kit's, are they worth the £60?

[bmoo2]

hellooo...been looking around on here and find it very useful!

[Mart1000]

Hey guys. Good source of info on here, I hope I can add some back at some stage
