This was a huge pain in the backside with my E92 M3. Used to have to strip and clean it out a couple of times a year. Not sure why the photo is in B&W - user error! Never realised at the time it was down to the screen wash I was using.
You'll be glad you spent the extra when you smash it again
@Diagro damn, that car is cursed lol
but seeing as you already dumped quite a sizable chunk of cash on it...might as well keep going
ps: some of the ebay stuff isn't actually that bad (i've got the grilles and rear diffuser from the bay and looks exactly the same as the mperformance parts for a fraction of the price
i paid something like £20 for the grilles and £35 for the rear diffuser

This is probably because the M Performance parts look like parts people used to buy from Ebay
I know some parts are OK.@Diagro damn, that car is cursed lol

I had two cheaper ones delivered. But they look terrible quality.
This new one is substantially better. Was lucky to get a genuine bmw one for half the price to be fair.
Gotta keep it all BMW. For them resale values yo.You'll be glad you spent the extra when you smash it again
matchup and fisher are pretty obscure on the lack of digital throughput on their aftermarket offerings .. in the absence of those I won't be looking for HK on my intended 3 upgrade,
spending the money on a speaker upgrade (as i did with existing 3) and one of their amps is a better investment - news to me anyway,
if you want decent sound rather than artificial surround sound processing

Mr12Volt supports MOST, and therefore would be my choice for a complete digital transmission & sound quality.

I test drove a 330e today. Must say the auto box worked really well with the electric motor.
You get massive torque fill when the gearbox is figuring its thing out with corners and roundabouts. Means it isn’t noticeable.
Really really nice to drive. Has the adaptive suspension as well.
Only downside was that at 50% charge, it only had a quoted 6 miles of range.
But it was very cool to be able to drive about and average 77 mpg!
Will check out a 320d soon in auto to see if the box has changed. Felt exactly how I remember in manual mode in the 330e

Impossible.

After 45 pages of discussion this is the result?
It isn't noticeable in mine either so I recommend you try a 330i or something as well as it's probably just the gearbox is better than you remember

Hi Guys,
I'm after a bit of advice if possible, I bought a 2018 330e with 62,000 miles in January, however I've only just realised that the aircon does not blow particularly cold, its basically just the ambient air temperature. I guess I didn't really notice this as the outside air temp was cold enough to mask it originally, however with the warmer weather its revealed itself. The aircon light does light up, however there is no click from any relays or the compressor. Is this worth a regas initially? From what I've read, the HVAC systems on the BMW hybrids is quite complex as it cools the battery too? I'm guessing if this isn't a simple regas then I could be looking at some chunky bills?
