Yeah, but then i spent it on a 197 Cup lol. Which i now need to sell ...

But no, no plans whatsoever, bar maybe some Silvervisions, & copious amounts of fuel ;)

Red saloon interior FTW. If it's an auto that will drink that heavily. :D
 
LOL I know people who've had half the cars you have who have been declined insurance because of it! (They think they are traders).

Looks lovely, shame about the Auto ;)
 
I love E46 estates dave, you must be getting bored of changing cars all the time
 
Lol, nutter. Looks tidy mind Dave, will await to see pictures of it looking filthy with your plate on.

How come your plate isn't on the T? Would loose the DVLA about 15% of it's total net profit per year mind ;)
 
Looks good! Those wheels do make it look a little dated tho, some MV2's would knock years off it.

Looks a very nice example, what made you sell the 197?

Well, its still for sale at the moment lol, need to get rid of it really! Essentially i thought that a newer version of my beloved Trophy would offer me a good combination of fun vs. better comfort on the motorway for my commute. Unfortunately, whilst it covers the fun element well enough, its certainly no 3 series on the motorway ... so it made sense to just keep the T, & buy another cheap 330. Two cars for the price of one essentially.

Ha ha, its filthy already :o

Good point re: the Trophy, have thought about putting it on there many a time, although tbh, ive never been that bothered about hiding the age of the clio, more the ancient BMW's that i have a habit of buying lol. Do have my eye on something appropriate for the Trophy though ...

Im not so sure tbh, i reckon the MV2's suit the coupe/cabrio, but the MV1's look better on the the saloon/touring. Also, thats money that could be better spent on the Trophy ;)
 
I love how you come on here, giving it all that, justifying your purchase to us.

When you know and we know, that it will be sold within 3 months for either a) a hot hatch or b) a 330 coupe with a clutch pedal.
 
I think it would look better in silver.

It looks a bit mundane as it is.nice bus though.
 
So 26 days & 1500 miles later, i have a droning drivers front wheel bearing :dapprove:

Other than that, the car is ace, with mpg now hovering at around 29mpg. Whilst this is roughly the same as the M3, i can use pikey unleaded instead of VPower which does save a few pennies here & there. More importantly however, i have considerably more money in my house deposit/Trophy parts fund, which, like the tourings boot, is most useful.
 
Is that meant to be new car fund ???

Is this a tiptronic auto? I drove my mums 325ti last week and even though I was using the tiptronic side of the box it just wasn't the same!

RE: the wheel bearing, I DIY'd one last week on the rear of the 320d. Oh my word, what a ballache.

Yeah, the front ones are alot easier apparentl ... although tbf, im no mechanical guru, so im sure it'll still take me 8 hours ...

Yup, tiptronic with 'manual' change, its still not much fun though tbh, just makes it a little more amusing on country roads - where the box can be in the wrong gear quite a bit i find. Stops it hunting all over the place and trying to get into 5th all the time.
