Luke Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Welcome along, bit of advice you might not get a decent 330 CI sport on a 02-03 plate for 4-5k your looking more like 6-7 for a decent one.. I might be wrong tho Quote

Guest Mister Dabsy Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 As for the fill-up... Its not the car's fault, its the muppet ruling factions we have to trawl through everyday... B4stards !!! Quote
AndyG72 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 lol, nothing to do with my right foot then. Quote

AndyG72 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Pleez don't go too far though, eh? :huh:Lol, i have black surrounds around the side windows, so i thought i might aswell change the grille to a black one to match, but what i put in my last post thats all im doing, i like to keep it subtle, i like the wheels on it but they have been kurbed to hell.http://flic.kr/p/9wztkB Quote
Guest Mister Dabsy Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 It really is as it helps resale and stops your car from being a common eyesore :unsure: Quote

Bob Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Nice car, i like it in the Blue. I've had my 330Ci for years and its been great but alas i will going down the Estate route in the next few weeks - probably a 330d Sport or a 530d Sport - i'm still undecided. I don't want to sell the 330 but i have a kid now and the boots just too small, i also do more miles with work as well :( Quote
