Afraid the first and only owner did not go for it for some reason. I've been looking into getting it done but not as yet.

The guy went for some options then overlooked the phone which was odd. The dark window trim, tinted windows and dark roof lining don't seem common on a SE.

It's got a CD changer too which don't seem to be that common either.

The car was an impulse buy. I was in the market for a hot hatch and this came up and although things like the phone were missing, it was too good a car to overlook.

My previous car went back because of issues and the deal meant I had to choose a car from their dealerships which did restrict my choice of premium cars.

I'd love all the toys but there was not much option within the group and any 335i that Harry Fairbairn(part of Arnold Clark) group had, just did not work for me.

All the cars were a lot more expensive coming from the BMW dealership and by the time you added toys I'd like and the rest of the car to this ones standard, it was out of my budget.

It came down to a nearly new Mazda 3MPS or this car at 2.5 years old and 28,000 miles.

I'm still happy I made the right choice.

Had a couple of issues, headlamp washer replaced, rear window replaced as radio reception was poor, actuators and injectors under the current recall.

Got a couple of minor door dings to be addressed all which happened at work it at flat. Other than that just the unavoidable stone chips.

You can still can eat your dinner off the engine too.

Mine was an SE and had shadowline, Window tints, rear blind, lumbar, Nav, Bluetooth, etc etc almost fully loaded! I can't remember most stuff
now!

Seen quite a few SE with the shadowline. Does look much nicer!

You deffo made the right choice!

Just kiddin

Yea dont do half a job, would look terrible
Haha fair comment buddy. I didn't do this myself, happened to notice at the time of buying the car.. for the sake of these forums, I thought best to point out the conversion rather than pass it off for a 335i (given that it was also debadged) before I bought it.

Looks like the previous owner did had tasteful modifications, full respray to alpine white, the exhaust and debadged.. a few more things to come from myself but only time will tell..

Yeah absolutely. Can see the potential few dislikers but hey, I'm loving it! HPI all clear and paint work is fresh, was done tail end of last year so all good. I'd be surprised to see white E90's with a 56' reg

No idea tbh fella. I'm new to modding, each to their own, but from what I know, it depends on your taste really.. you could go 10mm/12mm or 15mm.. that may make no sense to some so no offense
