Black 330ci's.

[deutsche_blonde]

Common as muck. Just pulled into a local restaurant car park.

 

[Daniel]

50% of them look shat so don't panic too much.

 

[cat171]

That boot spoiler on the second one in looks bad. Is that the CS spoiler?

- knowing my luck, it's the OP's car.

 

[Daniel]

CS spoiler is so so gash. They all need to be burned.

And the wheels/number plates on the other one are shat also.

 

[deutsche_blonde]

Yeah Clubsport spoiler. Mine's far right. I upset the owner of the one with black wheels (the Italian chef at the restaurant) by telling him his wheels were awful ("but they cost me £1000 and they came from America!")

Haha!! You are right, they look awful! Proper badmanz

They should have stayed in America!

BMW's unless it's a slight drop, always look s**t modified.

 

[ColinG]

I hate black wheels with polished lips. It's absolutely 2003 and people still buy them

 

[yeecup]

I prefer them standard

 

[AdDaMan]

Yep those wheels are baaaaad.
Is it just me that hates black E46's? IMO it makes them look so much more dated than any other colour.

 

[LiamR172]

As Daniel says, 2 of them look pish.

At least yours looks ok

Quite like these tbh, are they any good at anything other than wafting?

 

[AdDaMan]

3 series arent wafty! get a 7 series for wafting! But yes they are very good. hence the 30 people on here that own them lol

You think? I kinda like em.

You don't think the CS spoiler has a 90s vibe about it?

They are a bit wafty. Especially when getting out of the 182 into one. I'm enjoying it though, great as a second car, not sure I could have one as my only car.

 

[AdDaMan]

Yeah compared to a 182 anything is wafty! Yours looks lovely, but most black ones don't look like yours.

 

[Stefan.]

I prefer grey on the 330 myself

Yours looks the better of the bunch. the others look crap.

 

[yeecup]

u not sold it yet?

 

[Stefan.]

u not sold it yet?

Going in for a service, still undecided. I do like the drive of it and the sound..

 

[Cliotoby]

Looks nice does that

E46's drive a million times better than the E92's. Frankly im sick of mine.

Is it still too early to chop it in or hand it back ?

 

[Ianboom]

Ha! Had a 330ci a few years ago and loved it, wife made me sell it as it scared the cxxp out of her in the ice-she's never driven the zed. Had an mr2 and she parked that in a hedge.

Don't think she likes rwd cars!

Ian.

 

[Cliotoby]

I can hand it back but Ill need to pay a few bucks no doubt. I expect about £1000.

But that depends what the dealer I go to for a new car would give me for it.

May sign up as a member again so I can post some seriously considering threads because I don't know what to get instead. Theres everything from a Fiat 500 Abarth to a Porsche Boxter S on my list.

 

[Alan]

Surely taking the hit would be worth it to be driving something you actually want to drive ?

 

[Cliotoby]

That's what I'm thinking. I'm pricing different options up at the minute.

 

[Rubicon_]

I done the same with my 320d, ended up paying £2.5k to get rid.

Best decision I made tbh.

 

[Sir_Dave]

They look nice when clean. I miss my touring on an almost daily basis tbh, utterly brilliant daily.

 

[deutsche_blonde]

That looks well Dave. Interesting to see a facelift with the MV1's.

 

[Rick_182]

I'm a fan tbh. Love the e46. Selling my black 330 as we speak lol. Fantastic car to drive and very powerful. Just too grown up for me

 

[philmots]

Saloon/tour were facelifted in 2001 around a 51 plate...

When the coupe/cab got their facelift in 2003 the saloon/tour got the mv2's too as well as the different climate panel.

 

[deutsche_blonde]

I see. MV1's are hugely superior to MV2's anyhow.

 

[Daniel]

I see. MV1's are hugely superior to MV2's anyhow.

They're both a complete t**t to clean.

 

[deutsche_blonde]

Fcuk yes! Bloody wife's car as well. She has cleaned it (and it's predecessor) precisely never.
