Love this C.J, always like to see you drop these photos on Instagram.

C.J that looks bloody lovely...

 

[Slammed172]

Should have dressed the arches

None the less, that is a cool car. Will own someday when i'm 40 :O

 

[Jon.G]

Awesome!

 

[Saner]

I've just bought a 320d in that colour, and it looks NOTHING like that!

Paint looks great!

 

[C.J]

Cheers all.

I'm not touching the suspension, it almost bottoms out on my drive as it is.

Who mentioned lowering it?

I can see people saying about cleaning the inside of the arches

 

[DB.]

So much nicer than the current 3 series IMO

 

[Stay Puft]

Beautiful! My favourite shaped beemer.

 

[Craig]

Awesome mate. Would one myself

Ah, you're right, I assumed wrong.

 

[C.J]

Took the car on a 1,000 mile trip last week to St Ives.

It managed to average 32.1 mpg over a single 395 mile drive home. Filled up in Hayle and got home in York with 35 miles in the tank.

 

[Gally]

Awesome. Credit to you for sticking it out after all the warranty work etc.

 

[_Tom]

Loooooovely car.

 

[Martin.]

Why don't these cars have the same 6 pot brakes as the 135i out of interest?

You would have thought they would do especially as they're heavier.

 

[C.J]

Nearly a year error free now. I'm keeping the warranty though, at £56pm it's worth it just for the peace of mind.

I'd like to get some LED rear lights, as I think the non LED clusters look dated now.

 

[Ian_182]

Someone on here(Barron I think?) has an M3 in your colour ad they've updated the rear lights jut to see what they look like.

 

[C.J]

Ditched the RFTs last week for some Goodyear asymmetric 2s. Also put new brakes on the rear. The ride has improved, it's far less harsh over the smallest of bumps. I'm yet to properly test them out though, I've done about 25 miles on them.

I've upped the widths by 10, so I'm getting very slight rubbing on full lock at the front (it's catching on the inner arches at the back of the wall), need to find a way to sort this, maybe spacers up front but need to look into it.

 

[Cub.]

Nice! I've just ditched the RF's on mine aswell.

Feels much better.

 

[_Tom]

Still love it. Proper proper nice.

 

[DazG]

Lovely looking motor that!

 

[Craig]

Awesome car

 

[leedsboy]

Pretty much my dream car, looks so mean.

 

[Rob]

Proper!

 

[Ian_182]

Cracking looking car. I'd love that on my driveway no probs.

 

[C.J]

Cheers lads.

I am on the verge of moving on, but every time I get in this I can't bring myself to sell it yet.

 

[Ian_182]

But what would you replace it with, would have to be something special.

 

[leedsboy]

Cheers lads.

I'll have £2k waiting to take it off your hands












.... if only!

 

[C.J]

But what would you replace it with, would have to be something special.

I like the idea of something bigger/practical for family/holidays etc. Like a 5 series or a Disco 3/4.
But I can't make my mind up, even the Mrs tells me to keep it and let her have the practical cars.

 

[Ian_182]

Im loving the new shape 5 series atm and also s-line A5 5 doors.

 

[Jack!]

@C.J any idea of it's value/how much you'd be looking for?

 

[C.J]

@C.J any idea of it's value/how much you'd be looking for?

I had a 5min browse on AT last week, and prices vary. I personally don't think it's worth more than £12k, could be as low as ~£10k based on age/mileage alone.

But I'm hoping the spec holds out for best price (Msport, iDrive, manual, red leather) and it's had warranty throughout its life.

 

[clio007]

I sold my E92 335i sport for 12k 1.5 years ago. Manual black on black with 65k
They are holding their values pretty well tbh.

 

[C.J]

Started getting a whine coming from the engine bay a couple of weeks ago (just as I was leaving Malton Big Breakfast), sounded like a belt/pulley squeak.

Local indi has just diagnosed it's the AC pump/compressor bearings. All in, £995. LOL.

I'm hoping it's covered under BMW warranty (I don't see why not), so booked into them to check/repair hopefully. It's strange though, as the noise is constant whether the AC is on/off, but I'm not the mechanic.

 

[Addicted]

Still absolutely love these.

So so put off by all the issues though

 

[leedsboy]

£995?! Faacckkinnggg eelllll.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Still absolutely love these.
So so put off by all the issues though 😧

Same. Which is why i keep looking at 330i's.
Think i might miss the power though, so temptation makes me look at 335i's, then i remind myself that they break all the time lol.

 

[Martin.]

Saying that. I had my 135i for two years and gave it a lot of hard use and it was spot on. Apart from the fuel pump which was done under warranty when I first got it.

 

[philmots]

If your aircon compressor is anything like mine on my 550i then it won't have a clutch.

It's engaged all the time weather the aircon is switched on or off so is constantly turning.

That could explain why the noise doesn't change if it's switched on or off.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

How come you didn't go for Concave rears? (may have missed why)
