Newbie with a 320d ES... West Yorkshire

J4JAV · 06-28-2011, 05:33 PM

Hi Guys,

I am new to the forum, (great forum btw) my previous car was written off a 2005 Audi A4 1.9 TDI SE, so here is the replacement I bought yesterday... 2007 BMW 320d ES with SPORT PACK 177... my first BMW and my third car

I have spent all day on it, snow foam twice, clay bar full car, wash again, Zymol cleaner polish, buffed off, Meguairs tech nano wax, buffed off again!

Started at 11:30am - had 1 hour total in breaks and finished at 9:20pm! tomorrow will be full interior/glass/tyres detail... then new aluminum pressed German style no plates (yep my very first modification), I will update with pics as I go along.. here are the pics... enjoy!

Have a look at some forum member cars,performance (black) grills are usually one of the first and cheaper mods

Not sure I agree with the bhp figure. With a turned down exhaust it's the 163bhp engine. The 177bhp engine came with a straight out exhaust as it had a DPF I believe and did not smoke like the earlier version.
