Finally got one

squ1bby · 21 Feb 2010 at 09:19

After months for looking for a E46 330 and following loads of advice from here I finally picked up my new car yesterday.
It's an 02 330ci clubsport with a few nice extras such as built in sat nav, TV, and bizarrely a slot feed minidisc player behind the screen.

Am very happy with it so far and have just done a 160 mile trip to get it home and it's now covered in salt from the roads so will put some of my own pics up when its clean. Coming from a rather boring engine sound in my Leon 20VT, the engine in this sounds fantastic especially with the windows down.

Clubsports are fantastic looking cars.

Good choice. :cool:

PS is that Shark fin aerial for radio reception too?

I want! worth the extra over a normal 330?That estoril blue looks great!

lovely car, MD player? Thats odd! Got a pic of it?

Very nice, hate the colour though!, you'll have a lot of people come along who drop to their knees for estoril blue soon

^^ I knew it

Will get some pics later on today if I can. Having looked in the manual, the two choices at purchase were either a tape deck or a MD player behind the screen.

Never driven a normal 330 so I couldn't compare! got a good deal on this so it actually cost less then the standard 330's I was looking at previously

What do you mean by soon, great colour, lovely car, get out there and enjoy.

That is indeed a very nice looking car you've got there.

mini disk lol

very nice car, quite jealous!

allllec · 21 Feb 2010 at 10:24

Lovely car and lovely colour. Looks much better in RL. Estoril blue never photographs as good as it actually looks imo.

Not sure about the alloys though?

[TW]Fox · 21 Feb 2010 at 10:55

Best BMW colour ever. Love it.

No, its for the telephone.

I can't believe it has a MiniDisc slot. It must be the only one that ever left the factory!

Great car though, congrats

Begbie · 21 Feb 2010 at 11:33

Minidisc player is awesome!

Love the car, looks great. Clubsports are just full of win.

Tidy, although never liked the spoiler on them

IAmATeaf · 21 Feb 2010 at 13:55

A guy at work recently, around 4 months ago has the same, sometimes see him on the roads into work and the thing is a beast

Great colour too

mr tommo · 21 Feb 2010 at 16:13

Looking at it I don't like the spoiler. Can these be easily removed? A 330ci in Estoril Blue with mv1 alloys would be perfection.

Perfection would be ruined by horrible MV wheels. The spoiler is amazing.
