For some reason it works on that photo. I personally not a fan when you see the big ones especially on a SE trim!
I know all new m sport cars now have a small one on the front wings.
I'm tempted to remove my 335i badge on my car. After all the exhaust should be enough to tell people what I have.

Same guy that fitted the 330d back box in case you go down this route
What's the garage called?
My friend has a garage in Bishop Auckland named 'Exhaust Mania' Last I heard he was doing vehicle repairs so he must of changed the name and decided to specialize in exhausts instead.

Sounds like the perfect place to do your back box mate

Mines in at Auckside Motor's tomorrow for the exhaust work, I've got an adaptor (below) as the 330d back box pipe is larger than the 320d (55mm - 65mm iirc) & this should give it an extra 30mm to poke out the back

Yeah his work on his Facebook page looks pretty good, haven't really seen him in a while so I'll get in touch to see what he can do for me.

How much did you pay for the 330d back box if you don't mind me asking, PM me if preferred.

It was on eBay for £40 I think over in Darlington, needless to say I jumped on it

Just sold the original chrome tips on eBay for £35

I'll keep an eye out for one, nice cheap mod if I find one at a similar price.

Great job with the car! Looks awesome! I was wondering if you could tell me what size tips those F30 ones that you have on are?

I'm looking for some for my 320d and I'm not sure if 3" will be too big.

Cheers

They are off a F30 320d, I think they are the same size as the F30 335d as the 330d & 325d have smaller ones

I think mine are approx. 65mm across

Winter wheels are on already, Snow is forecast up here over the weekend & although I have my doubts it will arrive it is 7 degrees & lower for the next week so they should be OK

They are E46 Alloys with 225/45 R 17 Continental Winters, 20mm spacer on the back 15mm on the front



Sorry for the poor quality iPhone pic but the light was going

Thanks. Those are the ones I wish I ordered now! 3"/75mm seems slightly too big.

By the way, nice to see someone (fairly) local on here!

Your car looks smart does the 330 back box bolt straight on to the 320 system

Loving the F style tips but one step at a time

I know a lot of guys on here prefer the 335d exhaust but I'm happy with the 330d one, it'll probably come with some tips that are simillar, mine did
