What car are you going to get instead?
-
How do u it the 35 footrest? I will have that :smiley:
-
Mk7 GTD?? :lipsrsealed: Never mind mate, gotta look at the bigger picture! :wink:
-
Feel for you. Always sad saying goodbye to a beloved car :sad:
Have you decided on your next one yet?
-
sad times mate, but would be interested in some of the bits you have.
Forge caps and engine covers. PM me with pics and a price please mate.
-
Thanks all, if I don't sell the car inc bits ill let you all know.
New car is a 330d m sport with several toys. Did think about the GTD but £100 more in CCT I thought I'd give the the 3 series a punt.
-
nice choice mate. the 3 series is a beautiful car. you got pics?
-
Closest I can find for now, mine will have rear privacy glass:-

Nice, not so keen on the the F series front end but I'm sure it will make those longer journeys more comfortable with great performance as well.
Is it the 8 speed auto?

Yes mate, you can only get the 330 in 8AT which include the cheeky sport plus mode.
-
Nice one. When you getting it? You gonna stick around to let us all know how you get on with it. New member on the Bimmer forums? :smiley:
-
I'll still be lurking around on here cos I'll be in a VAG before long. Looking at moving house too so provided we have a double garage a little mk3 VR may be calling. Not ordered it yet so I'll keep you posted.
-
Keep the footrest for me plz ginge

Forgot to say, I'm def interested in the gloss rear diffuser and GTi inserts. Can you let me have a price when you're ready please Ginge.
-
You'll love the Bimmer, and the Estoril Blue looks stunning in the sunshine :cool:
Wish I had been able to get the 330d for my work hack as had one for 24hours and it was effortless driving and power with the 8 speed auto massively impressive, kicks DSG into a cocked hat as its clunky poor cousin.
Look forward to the pics.
-
Good luck with the sale Ginge, your car looks stunning and I doubt you will struggle to sell it.
I've been there done that, had an old 330d and loved it but then sold it after 4 months and bought a new R32 :evil:
The new 330d does look nice though and that blue colour is superb :cool:
-
Sorry to hear that you are moving from VW to the Bavarian :wink:
PS you may want to etch out your reg plate in photo's...............just in case :wink:

Very nice new motor, let us know whether you want to sell the spacers as ill take then off your hands!!
-
Good luck with the sale.
What spec did you go for with the 330d m sport? Driven one yet?
-
Good luck with the sale.
What spec did you go for with the 330d m sport? Driven one yet?
Yes driven one mate and it was all good. A comfy cruiser which is exactly what I need for the mileage, this is the quote which has all of the spec etc:-

Fingers crossed with the sale of mine, I'm not gonna let myself get robbed though.
Cheers

Shame about the Golf but you have to do whatever makes sense - 330 spec looks great :cool:

Just compared that to my quote, and I have an additional £103.17 pm in the Services rental, guessing your car isn't fully maintained for that price?
Nice spec though :cool:
-
Thanks JV, still can't GT a mk7 GTD out of my mind though :huh:

No mate, sole to my bro and he's happy to pay as we go for the servicing. I'm gonna do their service pack which will cover two services though.
-
Great spec Neil, pretty much all bases covered there mate. The xenons look great on the BMW. I've not not diven one but the 330d engine is supposed to be fantastic. The 19" alloys will look nice.
I would change the kidney grilles to the m performance full black gloss ones..... A relatively cheap mod and looks so much better IMO.
-
What line of work are you in Ginge?
-
At the moment I'm middle management for the prison service but I'm gonna be working for my brother. He knows that money doesn't really motivate me but perks like nice motors do, so he dangled a massive carrot and this is the result.
Why do you ask?
-
Just a thought Ginge, but have you considered opting for the Sport Plus package?
Just a reminder for anyone who does not realise, if you order Vis pack and M sport plus pack (£1,900.00) it knocks the full £710.00 (Xenons) off the pack price not the discounted value.
So for £1,190.00 you get all these commonly spec'd extras at a knock down price.
M sport braking system £570.00
19" M light wheels £600.00
Sun Protection glass £265.00
Harmon Kardon £675.00
Total normal price £2,110.00
:smiley:

At Market Drayton? Do you know Nigel Bromley?

Will give you a great spec car :cool:

I've taken all of the bits off my car now and have pm'd anyone who expressed interest in any of the bits. Just the spacers to take off but Raffe has dibs on those.
Thanks
Neil

Pm replied, thanks for first refusal :cool:

It's a happy day. You'll love the 330d M Sport. It's a sublime drive. Welcome to the fold. :cool:

I'll speak to you there. Better not give my f30post name here as they hate me on the GTI forums, especially the Mk7 one. :laugh:

Think I already have your number, lol!

Gotch ya! :laugh:

The F30 feels a bit of a boat after a GTI. It feels huge and is a PITA to park. But one gets used to it - just. Took me nearly 3 months. I hung on to my GTI for 3 extra months and was constantly swapping cars. I found it really hard to be minus my GTI. But now, that the Beemer has run-in, its something else. :cool:
-
If it wasn't for the fact that can't bring myself to own a five door golf I'd probably have gone for the mk7 GTD, but bev and I have agreed that we should really have a 4/5 door in the lie up. The 330 I borrowed made me realise that it'll eat up the miles with no problem and it seems to be quite a pleasant place to be for 3 hours a day.
-
I agree. Great mile muncher. Fab seats and the HK and Vis Pack are terrific. Very different car from a GTI. The runflats still worry me. As with all cars, the F30 does have its quirks. There's no dual mode for the Climate Control, the Wipers and Indicators can drive one insane and worst of all the music/radio does not reduce in vol when you engage reverse. But the Pro Nav and iDrive are very intutive. You'll be getting the touch iDrive controller which is even better. Enjoy and see you on the other side. :laugh:
