New car

[jamesg]

Hi all

Have been a member on ocuk for a few years now, haven't really posted much before so thought I could start now with a few pics of my new (to me) e90 330i M Sport.

The car is a 56 reg Le Mans Blue 330i M Sport auto with beige dakota leather.

Had the car just over two weeks now and I absolutely love it. Previously I had an e90 320d so am not too unfamilar to the BMW fold, but this car is light years ahead. It's so nice getting back to N/A petrol engine again, nothing beats thrashing the engine on a nice sunny evening! I wasn't sure about the beige leather and wood trim but think it works quite well, and is a nice change from the usual black and silver.

Specs:

3.0i 256bhp (it's the N52B30, think this is the right bhp??)
46000 miles
Beige dakota leather
Bluetooth prep
CD changer

Picked the car up from my local BMW dealer for £12995, reduced from £15500 after they hadn't sold it for 3/4 months. Think I got I decent deal and think I might keep this one quite a while.

Anyway on to the pics which are courtesy of Benjo on this forum.....

Finally managed to get the pics sorted. Pics were taken using a Canon eos40d I think, benjo might have to correct me though?? The interior shot was taken using a 'fisheye' lens.

Thanks guys. Le mans blue is my favourite colour and I just had to have it when I saw it at the price!

It obviously costs more to run than my 320d but so far I'm averaging 27mpg which is pretty much mixed usage. Hoping that it will be quite reliable being based on the older valvetronic engine, even if it does have 1 year auc warranty.
