The wheels used to be be pig to balance, look closely and you will see there is no hole in the middle only bolt holes. Remember some people had replicas made in 17 inch instead of 15. The looked cool as car looked std but difficult towork out why it looked better.

Memories. Had an identical w reg car. Came to it from an e30 m3 and p1 back in about 2003. Test drive a corrado vr6 and an integra type-R before buying the 306. My wife and even my mum thought I had lost my love of cars. That was when I first got in the internet on pay as you go dial up. As i...

Is that rear wheel arch easy to sort? I love the combo of the light interior and sunroof? Beautiful. Such an understated package. I cannot believe so many went for just black. Can't be long before all the 320d disappear and it becomes a rare shape like the e46 touring (see occasionally) but...

I kept warranty on mine too for the 4 years I had it. I did the same on my e92 M3. And it was 4 times more expensive. For what is actually a more reliable car. M tax!

Have you got the n52 or n53? Tricky game with bmw picking the right engine. Same with 335i. Sorry gave up posting pics when photobucket went sour, had bmw 269 wheels and a bmw performance exhaust. Sold with exhaust but I had not broke that in. Kept thd wheels and sold later current owner on...

They stopped building them in 2010. As every one must have bought 335i instead. Mine was a 2010. So one of the last n.a. straight 6 they made. N53 engine could be troublesome though. Space grey, pan roof, saddle brown leather, front park sensors, cornering headlights. Nice car.

Very nice, as a former 330i e91 lci manual owner. I know how difficult it is to find. I woulc have paid Strong money myself it was manual. And j am not even looking for a car! Well played.

I contacted the seller on the ly 182 when on pistonheads a few months back, he also sold a lower Mileage bg. It was up for £7250. I think it then dropped to £6750. It then dissapeared as you say and reappeared at a trader for £7500 on ebay, its not there now as you say. May have been sold or...

Saw it parked up. Interestingly there was a McLaren parked up round the corner in a car port.

When I talk about amount of miles. I wonder if this is also worsened by lots of short journey vs long runs. Where residual fuel will evaporate leaving gums on inlets & injectors.

Interesting the comments earlier about based fuel at supermarkets being a lower grade. First time I have heard a proper explanation for why its poorer. I did some stuff on this at Uni years ago. Not to the level the other Chap on her obviously. You could see the residue forming which was then...

I bought one year's ago when i had a smart car as no sump plug. Never used it on that car. Used on a couple of other cars to take 0.5 litre out when dealers over filled. Now use for interim 6 monthly oil change on my cars. Still has normal change at main service point.

Agreed I went to look at one. It was as close to new as you could get and it was 6 years old. With the level of refurb & prep I cannot understand how he makes any money. Only thing that stopped me was the wife had last minute jitters about selling her own car.

I have a set of 4 x 235 35 19 for sale. Excellent tread. Just took off my megane. For less than the price of 2 new ones. 5mm on 3 tyres and 4mm on the other. other think they come with 6mm. Just replaced with p4s couple of weeks ago. Michelin were doing a cash back scheme at the time. Not sure...

I know what you mean about nice place to be. I had saddle brown leather and a panoramic roof. It was a lovely environment.

The 330i is underrated. I looked to replace with a golf r but thought the interior was not as nice and if did not feel significantly faster stock. Similar story on 335i. But more torque mid and bottom but did not feel like top end that 330i gas. Looked at a couple of those also. Had to go m3...

I got my exhaust for £350 new. I think retail was nearer £1k. I think bmw was offloading at big discount. They used to come up used. Previous owner had injectors and then I had a set. When there was problems used to idle poor and exhaust tips would blacked with soit but app art from that even...

I went r26 to 330i to e92 m3 back to megane cup s. I think the 330i and meganes are hard to beat as a balance of running costs and practicality vs performance.

I had a manual facelift e91. Ultra rare. I think they only made 9. These are great engines and on par with 2 litre turbo for economy, so it's crap that bmw discontinued n.a. 3.0. I had plenty off stuff replaced under warranty. Earlier n52 engine also a cracker. My wife had one of these in a...

Spotted today at about 9am. I was in my LY Megane. Gave the Thumbs-up & got a wave.

@ abot 16:00. Was in my White Megane R26.

I have a bundle with SKY but since my baby dont really watch TV much & if I do its on Freeview. Can I cancel TV with them but keep Phone & Net? Cant be bothered swapping at the moment?

Yep was getting my hair cut at the time. I especially notice it as my Wife has a GW 197 Cup on Black Speedlines so I doubletake thinking its her. Good Luck with the Wedding. What is that read spoiler you have? Did you do that yourself or did it come out of the factory like that?

No this was young bloke with a young family by the looks of it.

I have seen this car 3 times in the last week. On a private 'CUP' Plate. Once on the A259 then in Ferring when it pulled up next to my GW Megane and then at Rustington Sainsburies. I can usually count on one hand how many 197's/200's I see in a month & this one is haunting me.

Could not resist another one.

I had a Clio Trophy which I changed for a R26. My wife had a 182FF then my Trophy for a year. Now with a 197 Cup. Too be honest I never considered the 197 as I thought it was a step down on performance from the 182. But do not write one off without driving. Oh and size wise they are pretty...

Had a Clio Trophy at the same time as my R26, Both Great but different cars.

I use a baby seat in my 182 with the airbag deactivated. Is there such a switch in 197/200's? Its on the passenger door of the 182 & requires key to switch off.
