2013 BMW 330d

[leeds_182]

I joined the revolution and bought this for our lass.

It’s fast. I’ve not driven anything remotely fast for a while so it does feel genuinely fast!

My final volvo is up for sale now so am going to be a volvo free household for the first time in a long time.

You have a gold 760 in my workshop in case you've forgot.

He definitely forgot. Probably has 5 volvos parked down the road outside people's houses too

Oh yeah, I genuinely forgot about that one.

 

[imprezaworks]

That looks great. Such a solid choice that ticks loads of boxes.

Are you gonna de Bradford it?

Na, I think it looks mint!

Car looks great hard to beat them for the money tbh if you want something that can do a bit of everything. Fair few F31's on here now 😂

💪🏽 Definitely one of the best ‘do everything’ cars you can have imo. I absolutely love mine.

I've said this before, but for real world driving my 430D was a better can than my M4 and probably the "best" car I've owned.

Plenty quick enough, handled well for a wafty diesel, cheap as chips to run and it never let me down. Not a single repair (that I can think of anyway) in nearly 5 years / 50k.

Get it mapped if it isn't already as that made a big difference, but other than that enjoy!

Welcome to the master race. 5 years with the Alpina and it still can't find a viable replacement.

 

[Rich-D]

Welcome aboard, I've had 4 different 330d's now LOL.

It would look better with the wheels in a different colour IMO, not a fan of black wheels personally, but it's not mine so...

 

[Willo40]

i wish people would stop buying 330d's and then everyone commenting about how f**king good they are...🙈.

Great purchase mate.

Should have bought Dans!

I think it’s mapped but no proof. It certainly feels mapped to me but then again, I’m used to driving 80bhp Volvos.

By no means a sure fire way of checking, but what numbers do you have displayed on the iDrive sport dials? And what number do they supposedly go up to under full load? Might tell you whether it's been messed with or not.

Being a pre-facelift I doubt it'll have the sport dials. My old one didn't and when coded it didn't do anything?

Ahh OK. I don't know whether the 3's are different to the 4's then, but mine was a 2014 pre-facelift and did have them.

Mine is a pre face lift and I have the dials. They also show higher numbers since it was mapped.

Wubber dinghy wapids

@leeds_182 Does it have the pro nav or business nav? Business nav doesn't have sport dials, so I'm assuming this would be why...

 

[Willo40]

My 63 plate 135 with pronav had sports dials, and from memory they went up to 400bhp.

 

[Adamm.]

Time the 100-200 or something that'll probably tell you if it's mapped or not 😂

Ahh that might be why then - mine had the wanky business nav.
