1 more sleep to go!!!
Just need to get thru this last nightshift before i trade in the E46 330Ci for the E90 330i. Finish at 6am so will go home for a few hours sleep before going to pick her up. Booked the next 2 weeks off work too so i can give her a good detail.
Will post up pics when i get her. Iain |

Have you got it yet?
The 330i is a truly stunning engine, seriously. Beautifully naturally aspirated. If i didn't want an auto i would have that in a drop of a hat. In fact when i started looking for a new car i knew i wanted a 330i until i realised it was almost a crime to pair such a great N/A engine with an auto box. |

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts following the upgrade. I've had a 335i a few years ago followed by a 330d and must say I find the engine in my E46 an absolute peach. Pulls so effortlessly and sounds great - I really missed having a petrol engine.
I've never driven the 330i but hear it's a cracker (some say more involving than the 335i). Enjoy it and let us know your thoughts.

Just back from picking up the car, 1st impressions are very very good. Throttle response is so much better than the E46, better feel thru the steering wheel too. Wasn't sure how the run flats would feel but seems to be pretty good. Great noise from the engine and love the manual gearbox, will miss the auto in traffic but everywhere else not a chance.
2 weeks off to give it a detail but will try and get some before pics up later on tonight. Iain |
