Can't believe it's already been one year and one month since I had my car, had to renew my insurance recently and it went down from £800 to £600 which was not bad at all.

Anyway, some pics I just took earlier on my phone:

330CI Clubsport, estoril blue, 52 plate, manual. :D

In one year of ownership, thankfully I have had zero repairs. MOT was a done in feb, no problems. Recently an Inspection 1 costing £220, and that is all. Actually the car does drink a lot of oil so requires a 1 litre top up every few thousand miles which is normal.

The only thing I changed were the mirrors, as the ones on the car didn't fold. Also I much preferred the rounded M3 mirrors. Someone did tear off one of the front grills :mad: cost me £25 for a new one from BMW.

It has been problem free and run like a dream, the back tyres are now getting borderline on the tread limit so I need 2 new tyres very soon, even though it feels like there is plenty of grip. Never lost the back end without trying. ;)

I am thinking about possibly getting some sort of extended warrenty but I'm not sure. Anyone have any recommendations?

My old 320i was nowhere near as good to drive but I kept that for 5 years quite happily. I could seriously keep this car for even longer. Still feels awesome to drive especially on the motorway. :)
 
People who have never driven a decent BMW have the odd habit of accidentally making it blindingly obvious to others.
 
Cheesegrater comes in very handy. Yesterday I had a jacket potato and a block of cheese and with my cheesegrater grille I turned a nasty predicament into a delicious meal :D
