Just picked up my new car :-)

Shane. · 04-15-2012, 03:51 PM

Just picked up a 2006 320d M sport, guy bought it when it was 3 years old from the same BMW garage that it was sold new, It has a full BMW service history and has only covered 38k, The car has been very well looked after and is completely straight not a single door dent and has been garaged. I ideally wanted a 330d but with the fact we are just about to move in to a new house and are expecting our 1st child in October i went for this instead and 1st impressions im very pleased, Its got quite a bit of pick up (I knew it was going to be totally different to what ive been used to. I had a 350bhp Impreza,

Plans for this car is to tint the rear 3 windows, I think factory is a medium smoke,

Either a set of the Csl alloys or some of the 313 alloys, Guessing 19" is the best to go? Staggered fitment? Spacers? i don't want any rubbing and was hoping not to have to lower the car.

Couple of questions it was serviced in 2008 at 15k and then 2010 at 30k So im guessing the car is going to be due a service very soon, Is it just a case of wait until the service light comes on?

Last question best place to buy tyres?

Looking forward to using the car and hopefully meeting some of you guys

The service menu will tell you everything you need about when servicing, brakes etc are due. Can be either mileage or time based.

Ok so basically it depends on how the car is driven, I will check what it says. Cheers

looking good there, plastic grills sometimes pop up in the for sales section on here so keep an eye out.

cant go wrong with csl or 312 alloys

btw are you over on detailing world with same suername?

mistryn · 04-15-2012, 04:43 PM

btw camskill is cheapest place i found, but ended up going to event tyres as they are mobile fitters

Nice motor

Some CSL alloys would really look the business

Nice car mate, you "would" have loved a 330d, map and 300+ponies would give the scoob a good go once rolling!
