my black mans willy! (330ci m sport content)

[Herr Flick]

i bought this a week ago as i sold the scoob and wanted something a bit newer and more refined/flashy.

so far i will give it 9/10 for everything from looks to performance. it has 230bhp but weighs alot, which you can feel when you put your foot down but its still a quick car.
i will be getting a private plate for it (cant find a nice one or a funny one cheap),
i love just crusing around in it and its such a nice place to be with all the bits and bobs.

handling wise- its great for a big car and have had the back end out a few times but its not wollowey at all and the m-sport is just that little bit lower than the standard.

the auto box is great, more so in sport and the manual option comes in handy sometimes.

running costs so far are ok so far but have only done about 150 miles and have averaged 24mpg which isnt great but its better than 17mpg and i have done any long trips yet. (mpg doesnt bother me btw)

any way heres a few pics.....

seats are amazing, so nice and comfortable. didnt want leather in the end. the control is fine until i turn the wheel with one hand round a corner etc and my hand hits all the buttons.. lol

the mpg doesn't bother you..............yet. it will do! my 328 sport i had years ago was ace but the mpg took its toll. great car tho chum.


just noticed you said you had a scoob before - ok i take it back! you obviously aren't arsed about mpg

Yeah after having full leathers in the 318 (bear in mind only comfort so no bolsters ) I don't think I could have alcantara in a BM.

Got to sort that steering wheel out, looks like a minicab, especially with the Parrot control! I would replace it with a more discreet Bluetooth connection personally.

They are good looking cars though. Not a massive leather fan either, but tends to mean you don't get many options as it generally means they are sparsely specced from new. Tape deck FFS!

Guy at work has a silver grey one, has just put Eibachs on and CSL replicas. Transforms the car.

well the seats in mine are the m-sport alcantara seats and i have seen they are quite rare (could be wrong), they are more comfy than leathers and thats what i wanted, plus i hate leathers in the summer.
have thought about sportlines and CSL wheels but am unsure!!
the tape deck was standard on these as it has a 6 cd changer in the boot. got all the other options tho.

Congrats on the car!
Seats are available across the range I think on the M sport models but they are very comfy and I think I agree with you with preferring them over leathers.

Correct me if im wrong but wasn't there a paddle shift option on the 330ci's or is that the clubsport models?
Enjoy the car!

think the clubsports but i found out you can retro fit the paddle shift on mine for about £200. lol (not going to)
found out that one of my exhaust pipes has been shut for god knows how long, smashed the butterfly valve open and jobs a goodun'. sounds nice and raspy.

Love it... I'm really wanting one of these next.

I park up daily next to a 330Ci Clubsport in Purple and I get very jealous.

 

[DazG]

Very nice! My old 325ci looked identical.

I've got a facelift 330ci convertible now, still loving the Beemers!
