BMW 330i (petrol)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

After opinions on this car please.

I've got a Golf TDI 130 at the moment, and want to get into a car that I like every morning, rather than one that makes sense.

I'd be looking at a Y/51 plate 4dr saloon model with a few miles on, but I've had a few BM's before including an E46 318i and a E39 523i.

I'm thinking an auto box for the ease, and it shouldn't effect the performance that much with all that go.

Interested in MPG figures etc (real life ones), and any highs/lows of ownership.

Cheers

Will.

The only low is that everyone will think you are a t**t from the IT industry

ahh yes, but I'm only 25 now, and have been in IT all my working career, so having already had 2 BM's before, its water off a ducks back.

At the moment everyone thinks I'm a sales rep  :D

I have been in IT all my life (17 Years) and I have managed to not have a BMW at all...

I did have a Porsche 944 in the 80's which I admit to driving with braces on...

:oops:

Hmmm - thought about asking on a BMW type forum but I expect to only get positive replies from them, that's why I thought I'd try here.

Could have known a smart comment like that would be along soon  :D

Ignore the image (I do) and concentrate on the important bits...

3ltr 6cyl

etc!

But everyone else will assume it's a 316i with a 330 badge..

:p

thats ok, because I will be able to satisfy my own arogance by the knowledge that not many 316i's leave the factory with rain sensor wipers and headlight washers (as the 330 does as standard).

Ok, the rear bumper would need a bit of a mod as would fitting a 330 backbox. Another giveaway is the chrome around the windows/kindney grill fins and colour coded door handles. They would also have to retro-fit the chrome rings round the speedo/rev counter and the silver-look headlamps too (they are not on the 330D, just the 330i)

Sooooo many finer points that the local 'rebadging' merchants just miss.

I know my E46's and E39's like the back of my hand  :t-up:
