Hi,

I have always had E46 etc but 3 years ago I went off the rails and got a 130i it was a fantastic car but not a patch to be honest on a 3 series.

This was the 130i



So this time I got a E92 330ci



This for me is a fantastic car, and I hope to contribute to the forum as best I can and share my experience with the car.

Thank you,

Fancied or due a change, and saw this 330 and thought that is the one.

I only keep them for 3 years as they are my daily car. I loved the 130i but the 330 came on the market and well you know the rest.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

The only mod I think I need to do is to put a Dynavin N6 unit in as the E92 suffers the same issue as the 130 and that is the radio setup has a pixel problem, but as I will keep this one 3 years it is worth it.

The 130i did not exhibit the problem for 2 years so for the last year I lived with it.

Welcome. I too went for the transition from E87 but to E90. I find the 3 series to be a cracking car but I do miss my boot space with the folding seats and more open space with the hatchbacks.

Your 1 series had a good spec with the xenons, 208m's and glass roof. Very nice colour too.

Watch our for those cracking MV4's. Most tend to ditch the runflats if they are running them.
