Looking great. I really fancy those wheels on mine. I've been buying bits for mine recently too. Got some genuine BMW performance bits after much hunting.

Or the other set on the same page with a different centre bore.

Looks tidy, very cool without the plate but bound to run into trouble not having it on

Yeah I couldn't be bothered with the hassle or having to have the plate in the window. Does look better though

Thanks mate ! Oh sounds nice mate what kind of bits you got ? Have you got a thread anywhere ?

So woke up this morning with a stinking hangover [emoji23] decided I'd do something productive and give the car a clean ! Also gave it a wax just used autoglym HD wax, always works well for me. Also got some new exhaust tips from BMW was the one thing at that rear that needed changing and had bugged me since I bought the car !

Comments as always

Thanks, yeah I do love the wheels !!

Super clean, always liked 330s when they're not chavved up.

TheEvilGiraffe · Aug 23, 2015

I'd love a set of CSLs for my wagon. Just wonder if it'd look a little try hard

Thanks mate, yeah always planned to just keep it nice and clean and looking original.

I'd go for some I reckon they would look nice, can't really go wrong with CSLs.

Took a trip to BMW again to pick up a part that had been bugging me ever since I bought the car, the heater relocation! Hated the look of it just being pushed in.

Decided the colour coded grills weren't for me anymore so got some chrome grills and put the black slats in as the chrome on chrome was too much.

Before

Chrome on chrome vs chrome on black

What I went for

Car is ridiculously dirty in desperate need of a clean.

Whitetac · Nov 15, 2015

Same as mine mate, chrome/chrome is too much but black slats looks perfect IMO. Mine is also a non-Sat Nav model so have been looking at options, either oem retrofit or a similar unit to yours.

Philip. · Nov 15, 2015

I think I prefer the colour coded ones if I'm honest, still looks good though!

Brad Smith · Nov 15, 2015

Clean and better pictures

Cookson · Nov 17, 2015

Chrom on black is for the 4 pot cars, chrom on chrome is 6 pot IIRC

It is indeed I'm just not mad on chrome on chrome think it looks a bit too much

Cookson · Nov 17, 2015

I've gone for black on black with mine

Brad Smith · Mar 5, 2016

Treated it to wash and clay barred and put on autoglym SRP and also Autoglym HD wax. Come up really good. Really thinking I want some eibach springs also thinking of getting piano black dash strips.

Pics:

deutsche_blonde · Mar 5, 2016

Best colour for them. I looked for one in that colour but ended up with black. Could it do with some new side repeaters? Look a little yellow though could be pics.

Brad Smith · Mar 5, 2016

I think your right it could do with some new ones.

Brad Smith · May 16, 2016

Coilovers are purchased. Can't wait to get them fitted !!

Ex-User (72296) · May 17, 2016

Perfect 330. Are CSLs expensive?

Brad Smith · May 23, 2016

Been to pick these up tonight [emoji16] hoping to fit them Thursday or Friday

Brad Smith · May 24, 2016

Also got a Simota induction coming....

yeecup · May 24, 2016

Snap, I already have mine, just don't have the car back to fit it.

Brad Smith · May 24, 2016

I'm proper excited to get the coilovers and Simota fitted

yeecup · May 25, 2016

i bet. simotas sound pretty special onthese.

Brad Smith · May 25, 2016

The next I'm thinking of getting the centre resonator deleted and maybe the cats.

yeecup · May 25, 2016

Personally I think that's a mistake. A nice rear silencer is all they need.

Brad Smith · May 26, 2016

So today was the day I fitted my coilovers and Simota. All sorted now though !

Rears old vs new

Fronts old vs new

Few of the ride height after, not finished still will probably make a few adjustments but I'd had enough for today ! I'm pleasantly surprised I thought I wouldn't get on or off my drive but I was find also took it for a little drive went over a few speed bumps and I was okay. So I'm really happy. Ride hasn't got worse probably better and handling is defiately better, however yet to give it a proper test.

Pics anyway cars filthy and only the driveway nowhere interesting
