my new motor, good price, won it off the old fleabay on the offchance (snipe) bloke lives about 2 miles from me which is damn handy.

48k miles, full bmw SH, foldin mirrors - Electric Roof etc.

Careful, you'll start a trend...

Good price

Gilly · 5 Apr 2008 at 19:44

What did you pay?

Don't know what it is but I wouldn't buy nor sell cars on eBay. Doesn't make sense, just don't like the idea.

Torch [P4] · 5 Apr 2008 at 19:51

damn fine looking motor m8

allllec · 5 Apr 2008 at 19:56

3 series of that age are in black are the only BMW I like the look of. Very nice

Raikiri · 5 Apr 2008 at 19:57

Looks good, seems like a decent price too.

Griffo · 5 Apr 2008 at 19:57

Like the alloys, from close up at least, i've probably seen them a million times before, though maybe not that clean hehe.

Glad you got something that begins with 330.

I reckon it'd depend on the car, Gilly. I bought the Olds on eBay - there is no way I'd have gotten that particular car anywhere else. The Olds Custom Cruiser doesn't really appear on the radar of any of the American car magazines, and it certainly wouldn't get advertised on PH, or AutoTrader, or even the local press.

If you were in the market for a car like that (and I realise that's a rather large if), would you seriously not consider the 'Bay at all?

scousegit · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:02

9.5k was the price.

jongeeone · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:08

Nice motor

Although - the mirrors look an odd shape in the first picture? And im not to keen on the alloys

ethos · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:11

Not a massive fan, don't like that shape 3 series and the alloys are a bit odd. My dad has that shape, I think it's starting to look a little dated now.

Is the leather wearing like that on the drivers eat?

jamoor · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:13

cool, when you getting a remap?

scousegit · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:19

there clubsport BMW wheels, the mirrors? there normal shaped saloon mirrors on the E46 Sport, my old BMW had the same mirrors.

Mark A · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:32

Very nice and in the best colour :cool:

. The only thing I'd change is that gay exhaust.

within a month most likely. possibly two,

will get simon at e-maps to do it, I want to get the car properly detailed first by cliftoncarcare.com, I want the car to look its best for as long as I can

Need to get one of them Foam lances next.

DannyW · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:50

phew.. though it was gonna be another vauxhall

nice buy

morfmedia · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:52

I'm considering one of these as my next car. Need to take one for a test drive and see how it compares to my S14A 200 SX. I imagine the torque should make up for it being a diesel

I drove a BMW 330D Sport about 18mths ago, supposedly had a factory remap installed on it, and that was a right torque beast, these 330D's are beasts, Should pull much better than my older 330i I had which was mapped.

better fuel economy aswell

NickXX · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:57

Really not a fan especially in black - ugly with that bodykit too, and diesel??? :confused:

ethos · 5 Apr 2008 at 20:59

It's a well known fact diesels are for old men, queers and people that don't like to drive.

I read it in autocar once
