    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    From my research on the V5 names, it seems it was bought/specced from new by the chap that wrote "Only Fools & Horses" and when he died in April 2011, it passed to his wife. My initial thoughts are that she kept it (purely because it was his i imagine) but barely used it - bar the occasional dog...

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    I wasnt going to post this anywhere (as im sure many people already think im boring/mad), but i thought there might be a few people that would be interested (y) Car wise, its pretty rare to begin with, so a Space grey '58 plate LCI, 335i touring auto with the N54 engine. Options wise its got...

    Battlefield V

    Am in the only person who plays Battlefield V by themselves? Dont think i've ever played in a group with anyone else ☺ #nofriends.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Would probably help if the F2*'s steering wheel wasnt connected to a 3 wheeled Vauxhall Astra in another county :ROFLMAO: ;) The car/you felt really nervous though, although difficult to tell whether it was the new tyres (clearly not that great in the wet), or because the track was just...

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    See i dont mind them in the wet, and they are great in the dry, but in damp/greasy conditions they are absolutely shocking!! Been using it far more over the last few days and am thoroughly enjoying it tbh, the way it can switch between relaxing barge (comfort) and "bouncy clio" (sport) is...

    Surrey Rolling Road Dyno Day 23/11/19

    Sale advice

    Yup, it could be a cat d, ex driving school car with a ph1 engine and dual controls and people would still pay good money for it because of the colour.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Its also because growing up, all the Ford boys fitted Spax suspension and/or cut springs to their Fiestas, so when they eventually trade up to a Focus RS, they also expect the ride to be hard as f*ck. If they're my age, they are also used to their RS Turbo or CVH XR3i sh1tting itself and blue...

    e70 X5 35d SE - £8,000

    Pretty sure that came in on the 2010 facelift models, so this has the ZF6. XHP can be loaded to improve it however. Which reminds me, as its a pre-facelift, its an “SD” not a “35d” i think.

    e70 X5 35d SE - £8,000

    Unfortunately not, but advert/general spec is as follows: X5 xdrive 35d se, 7seat, 98k fsh, mostly from cobham bmw in the last 5 years. New rear diff costing £2k+ done at BMW in the last 12 months. P330A Sports Package S402A Electric Panoramic Roof S456A Comfort Seat With Memory...

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    Yeah, i thought about one of those as well, but this ended up being £235 delivered, so quite a bit cheaper than a P3. Is annoying losing the vent though as thats where i normally put my phone for Waze!! Have now driven the car a little bit more, seems i have the rattle steering rack that 99%...

    e70 X5 35d SE - £8,000

    Stoopid facebook wont link it properly. you have to click where it says "about a week ago". It'll do mid 30's in combined use, but its only doing teens driving the 1 mile to nursery and back :ROFLMAO:

    e70 X5 35d SE - £8,000

    Not mine, but i bought it for a friend (the same one who is selling the 335d listed in the other thread), mechanically its very good, lots of recent work done. I had intended to buy this back off him in 6 months time (hence why i bought it in the first place), but he's decided it uses too much...

    F30 330D XDrive

    When i was looking, albeit briefly, a couple of months ago, alot of the cheaper ones tend to be ex police. When they are still SE's these are easy to spot, but quite often (& in the usual predictable areas), the cars have had other parts retrofitted to make them look like luxury's/M sports etc...

    e90 335d Sport Touring - £6,700

    Not mine, but i helped buy it for a friend, mechanically its very good, lots of recent work done: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201910063027641 BTW. I told him to get rid of those god awful wheels, but he insisted on getting them refurbed black instead :ROFLMAO:

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    If you'd driven an e9* before the M140i like i suggested, you'd realise how sh1t it is lol. I've got both at the moment and the e90's is just soooooo much better. @jenic i know exactly what you mean about the interior, it is worse quality imho (& the e90 was worst than the e46), its things like...

    From a broken e91 325i to a Moon Mileage 335d ...

    I thought so too, but that seemed to be what everyone was offering, so i sold it to the first person that actually put their money where their mouth was :ROFLMAO: Which reminds me @Cribert, i have a brand new 330i Bilstein B12 setup in the shed that'll be for sale soon. Let me know if you're...

    Just been collected by the new owner - hell of a lot of car for £4.5k!!! Shame no one on CS bought it really ... was an absolute bargain at that price imho. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    Yeah i first had it on my e90 M3, the difference was noticeable, then again on the RS3 (although that was just hard, or rattly & hard lol) and the PASM on the Boxster was amazing. The M135i deffo needs adaptive though i think, unless you replace the passive dampers with Bilsteins, they are...

    I'll probably come along, be nice to see what power the M135i is running as standard

    Home cctv and phone apps? recommendations please!

    I fitted a Ring Doorbell2 and Spotlight Cam the other day. Seem to work ok so far, installation was simple and the floodlight lights up the carpark nicely at night. Have already told someone having a p1ss next to the wheelie bin to f*ck off via the loudspeaker :ROFLMAO:

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    Honestly, havent looked lol. I tend to make sure cars are running perfectly as standard first though, so a service, replacement of spark plugs/coils etc, then perhaps and intercooler and Stage 1 map with something like MHD. For the moment though, its keeping me entertained as standard, the...

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    Im sure ill take you up on that offer @MarkCup !! Yeah, they are decent enough in terms of all round usage, i always thought that a 5dr auto would make a great family car when i had my 3dr manual! They are common, but thats because of the cheap lease/pcp deals i guess, its often cheaper to get...

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    TLDR: I bought a new car. So the Porsche has gone and im left with an e90 335i and an e91 335d. Sarah, after nearly 12 years, still has the TT. I am on car no. 38. Parking where i live is about to become permit only and im not allowed one (we have a carpark), so after running (at least) 2 cars...
