My new BMW 330.

Cracking buy. Get pre-facelift alloys though; Much nicer, IMO.

You think?

It came with the MV2's and i think i prefer them..

 

[DanielJames]

I think I prefer the MV1s too tbh

 

[Edd]

I'd just get some staggered CSL reps.....

 

[Chrisjk]

Cracking car, I'm a BMW convert as of Sunday gone, I like the clubsport alloys personally.

 

[Matt Cup]

Nice purchase! How are your wings for rust?

MV1's look so much better than MV2's btw

 

[VeinAST]

MV2s look great Tom, I like either but prefer MV1s (am biased ) I have the front smoked indicators but I'm wanting standard ones now, only reason I bought them as the fittings on my original ones were perished!

Definitely after some eibachs (15mm drop) but they suit so well! Not sure if I could trust myself though seeing as I'm accident prone in this at the moment.

Yeah definitely. Especially with a subtle -15 drop.

Or even go the whole hog and gets some CSL's/Reps; creme de la creme.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Reps; creme de la creme.

Reps are not the creme de la creme of anything. Unless you are a poverty stricken Asian drugdealer.

Imho, MV1's looks best on the pre-facelift, & MV2's look better on the post facelift.

CSL's look best on CSL's. End.

Doesn't stop them looking good on other sports though

Theyre really good. I did a good check on the weekend and they could do with some sort of rust guard though. I found one very small water blister on the underside (which cant be seen) of the arch so i think a bit of prevention is needed. Luckily the rest of the car is mint.

Yeah i think if i got some i'd end up hating them. Sometimes they look alright, other times a bit max power.

I really cant stand MV1's but i agree about the CSL comment.

The first mod has happened -

Tinted side repeaters as my others were yellowing. I'm pretty sure im going back to oem clear though. The pic doesnt look bad but there's something i cant warm too.

Also, just to prove they can be OK on fuel -

 

[.GAZ.]

Better on fuel than my R32.

Bargain.

That must have been very light footed. I manage to get that in the z4 when only motorway.

That was mixed driving over 30 miles. All at the speed limit. Not granny shifting but driving sensibly. I've had it up near 38 on the motorway but with cc set at 70. I sware its actually a bit better at 75 though?!

I really think I might end up with one of these next, probably a touring though. Cant help looking at the threads on them and wanting one.

 

[Craigus]

Love that.

 

[Hixle]

Yep, looks great.

Do it. You wont regret it. They're a weird one though.. the first week i wasnt too sure on it. It didnt feel quick, very refined etc. Now i bloody love it. Other cars in its price range just dont seem to compare.

Love that.

Thanks

Yep, looks great.

 

[VeinAST]

That was definitely granny driving

Little update. I've had two new front wings fitted and painted and i'm very happy with it again. Basically when i got it the wings were mint. After two months rust started coming through at alarming rate. Basically they had been rubbed down and painted before i bought it. A very good job was done at painting but clearly not the rest. My mate had them off at his body shop and the inside of the wings were a state.

Crap pics but she is mint again. New bulbs have just been ordered for the factory xenons to freshen them up and i'm going to order some coils and spacers. A little holiday to Barbados is happening first though.

How on earth did I miss this? Looks in good nick, any plans?

 

[Hixle]

Looks great mate.

Haha had it a little while now. Good to be pushed rather than pulled again.. Coilovers and space the wheels a touch firstly. I may look at some wheels at a later date. I'd stick to 18's though. Not a fan of 19's on a 46.

Looks great mate.

Cheers buddy!

 

[Gaz.]

I know what you mean about good to be pushed, feels better doesn't it? Weird I know.

 

[VeinAST]

Great stuff Tom, all gen BMW?

 

[Gally]

Looks superb mate. Was never a fan of the colour but in the sun it looks fantastic.

Lovely shape to the car.

Yes mate. Had to be really.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I like the colour, sometimes I'm a bit meh. Looks totally different in the sun -

 

[_Tom]

Do i buy these off a mate for mates rates? 19" Finichi Bayerns







Normally i would say no as they're black but then i can refurb them at a later date. Also, im not massively keen on 19's. It's just the fact they are there. Ready to go with brand new tyres.

 

[philmots]

Lookin tidy. I'd buy some
MV1's though
