Sunny Spain but lost the Vert

I used this a fair bit over the years but no idea what my username etc was.

I had a nice hellfire vert forr a few years, loved it. Every Spanish youth would stop me and ask to buy it. The young Spanish do love thier motors. In the end I caved into one of them during a broke period. Prob first car I have truly missed.

I just bought the missus an old 328i, 25k miles a year commute with 180k miles on the clock and Im hoping to get this baby through 2 years if I can. Not a bad buy cos its RHD over here. My other car a RHD too tho both cars registerd over here they are both one owner from new British originally. Hope with the help of the great minds on here we can achive that.

:thumbsup

Hello

Hi Everyone

I am a new member. I ordered my first BMW in January (540i MSport Saloon).:D

I was meant to be driving it 2 weeks ago but the dealer tells me that there is a Quality Control issue and BMW won't release it for registration. Anyone else experienced the same?
They have sent me a 520D (Hire car) to "tide me over" until it is released. :mad

I can't find any other info about the QC issue. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi all,

I have now had my Mineral Grey 330D 2014 just shy of 2 years.

Great car, thoroughly enjoying it thus far. Though I am craving a little more power, I must admit. Hence I have him booked in to MSL performance for a stage one map tomorrow morning. I managed to talk myself out of swapping it for an M240i a couple of months ago. I was put off by the size to be honest.

Here’s a couple of pictures of him today after a couple of subtle modifications.



I do have a couple more mods lined up which I will divulge over the coming weeks should anybody be interested!

Can I ask if your rear splitter etc are eBay jobs? Or genuine M Performance?

If they are aftermarket are they a good fit etc? Thinking of doing the same

Jealous of that colour, grey is always my preference, but couldn’t source a 335 with the same toys etc as my estoril [emoji22]

Hi All

Newish, joined last year, had a 323i 2.5 e36 until last week, had to sell as it needed quite a bit of work which I was unable to do as I haven't got a garage at the mo. Now have a 320i e92, problem I have got with it, had the service book but NO owners handbook, does anybody know where I can download a UK spec owners handbook from.

Morning all , just joined today to gain an insight into the BMW world as i have never owned one in my 33 years for driving.

Picking my white F32 up on Sunday from BMW Manchester and looking forward to the drive home to Glasgow.

Jumping ship from the MB brand as i have owned my CLS for almost five years and it is time to move onto pastures new.

Sharing the driveway with the BM will be a Juke (wifes) , 107 (daughters) , Clio (sons) , in the garage is a ZX12r and two ZRX1100`s one of which is almost stock and the other has been built from a frame which has been monoshocked and has a Busa front end fitted along with many other additions so there is plenty of mechanical things that require some spanner twiddling to keep me busy during my days off work which also involves spanner twiddling as an engineering manager for a national newspaper.

Regards - Kenny

Hi everyone.
I have just joined up!

I currently have a 335i n54 coupe.

I am planning a few power upgrades and hope to pick up some good advice. Its my first time tuning a BMW although I have had experience with my, now gone, Fiat coupe 20vt. Fccuk is one of the best forums I have ever been a member of. A very active forum with lots of advice and meets etc.

I have owned many bmws over the years including two M3s.

I am currently booked in for an Evolution map at the end of the week. After this I will plan some bolt ons such as downpipes, intercooler etc.

Any how thanks for letting me join.

Cheers

Kevin McNamara

Which B93 to buy?

I don't know if you could spare a minute for some advice please? I really fancy a B93 as a daily to keep the miles off my Mk3 Focus RS. I've been offered a pristine 2008 1 owner 320i 30,000 miles £9000 by someone I know, full dealer history, immaculate. I know this is the safe bet but I am tempted by a few 330d's for similar money or not much more, 40-50,000 miles. What would you recommend or would you spend the extra on a facelift model? Is it worth waiting for satnav and i-drive? I'm more concern with which is less likely to give me problems as I intend to keep it long term. I'm thinking the immaculate 320i with history I know, manual gearbox and less toys is going to cost me less headaches than a 330d off eBay or Gumtree or Autotrader I don't really know the provenance of?
