No lol, have priced up all the other odds & sods i need to fit them though, top mounts, bushes etc etc, about £200 worth from BMW. Useful info about the DAB, ill have to look into whether the BMW Diversity antenna is a must, or if aftermarket amplified will do instead. Bugger me about the...

Never one to stop buying things that i dont really need ... facelift climate control panel with the chrome knobs instead of black plastic ... Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Minor change, but i think it ties in better with the rest of the dash, especially if...

@MarkCup will be interesting to see what you think of the RS3 when you drive it ... I'd be getting rid of the FRS now to be fair. Nothing worse than having a car that has to visit the main dealers all the time. Especially when they are 97% staffed by muppets. I know this all too well from buying...

Always good to catch up with everyone!! Thanks for organising Tim :)

Ill be there for about 10 ish also.

Well, when you posted that, on August 5th, i was walking the Great Wall of China!! But today i've been out for a drive, just prevaricating really, i should be working lol. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Realistically speaking, i need to consider selling it. Its only done 2k miles in it in...

Nah, Amazon. £540 instead of the usual £720 - what they are back up to now. Came direct from Bilstein in Germany ? I just spend far too much time on ebay, pistonheads & autotrader @Rob Also have a habit of buying cars that i dont necessarily need, because they are a good deal, then ending up...

Fire away! What you want to know? Nah, the 330i is staying for as long as i still have the Boxster ? Do normal people actually use Scumtree these days? I thought it was just for Cat D cars & other household cr4p lol. Nah, they were only £540!!! Hence why i bought them sharpish ?

Ah yes of course, i remember!! You worked at Eurotunnel from memory? Bit of an update on the 330i after 6 months/4k miles or so. Day to day average (99% town usage) is now 26.9, with a couple of longer journeys to Cornwall/The North seeing a rather impressive 36.7mpg. Cant complain too much at...

This still looks so good!!

Ive read all the new specs and booked my 6S in for battery replacement at iSmash for £25 instead. Headphone jack FTW.

Haha! Always good to drag back old posts ;) True re the R32, the noise that thing made was incredible for a standard car. One of the very few cars that id own a second time i think.

Ill send you a deposit once im back off hols Tim.

Thanks! Yep, that was me, off to see my mate in Church Crookham! Do you live around here somewhere then? That's because they are cheap ? You have to remember that i've been unemployed since May (through choice), with probably no income likely until November/ December, so mods have to be a...

@TomSx you either cost me £13.98 with that post, or saved me £250, i cant decide ? So with the above in mind, i bought these...

I could be tempted by that, ideal chance to make sure the old 330i is running ok

Couple of clean photos, ran out of time to edit the last post, doh!! Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Such a nice colour when in the sun!

So, little update on the old 330i as i've been tinkering with it a little now ... First things first, bluetooth. Anker Soundsync. £11.99 Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Streams music brilliantly, although for Waze/Phonecalls/Streaming, it needs to be on Aux on...

Great seats, we all ran them “back in the day”

Haha, that's exactly what my friend did! I viewed it, he paid, i left it on my drive & his dad collected the next day ? These two manuals have sold on ebay in the last few weeks: £3.5k: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-330i-e91-Manual-very-rear-estate-/263629584175 £3.8k...

CIC is definitely better, but being realistic, the satnav aspect is still sh1t! Depends on how much extra you'll have to pay really ... couple hundred worth it, £850 extra, not so much. With old 6 cylinder petrol BMW's (not M3's lolz), generally you just check for: 1. Rust 2. Whether it runs...

Look forwards to hearing these at Le Mans!!

Hopefully!! Is a lovely car :love: Nah, new one has "HIFI" already, will be selling the Alpine retrofit separately and buying a new JL Audio amplifier for it instead.

Now for sale, sans the Alpine retrofit kit: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/%E2%80%9959-plate-330d-m-sport-highline-%C2%A38-995-ono.818046/#post-11599821

Sunny days are here again, so popped over to see a mates new Gul T5R. Its lush :hearteyes: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Got a video of the door dent as well. Still f*cks me off, so need to sort it out. Other than that, its still flipping mega. Have a trackday at Goodwood next month...

I was watching that one as well, then it disappeared so i bought this one instead lol. Re: the CCC problems, it probably just needs a new unit, CarlyforBMW will probably give you a fault code to work on :up: Had to, imagine if someone i know saw me driving it 😂 So do i, you can pick...

Thank you!! Looking to start the business in September, so wanna go travelling through China/Japan over the summer holidays first. Will be a nice way to get through my 3 month restraint of trade as well! It was the pics of yours @BIFCAIDS that persuaded me that the colour could look epic when...

eBay. The blight of any car enthusiast. I wasn't looking to buy anything, but you know when you just cant help yourself ... 😂 Personally, i think it was the Xenon headlights that did it, the cheaper ones never have them & they're just an expensive pain to retrofit! Spec of the car...

Running costs aren't so bad tbh, its the constant listening for a "new noise" that strikes the fear of god into you 😂

Its more the interface tbh, its mega fast in operation, but just more complicated than im used to. Or just different. Creature of habit etc. On the flipside, it allows me to do things like this, so im glad i bought it! Yes, very very good upgrade, whilst the gearshifts are indeed faster, the...
