Pretty sure a 245bhp 3.0 is considerably faster than a six.335i if you can afford it  ________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |

Until we move i cant as the missus pointed out. Trying to sell now. we don't know which house we'll be able to get or when and there's a chance it'll have no garage which means no Corrado. Still have the itch though and it will need scratching! until then this seems a good idea, assuming i can persuade her on this one! |

That's interesting, I am looking at changing mine in a year for one with less miles, was looking at 330d but 330 is an option if 272bhp. Have you driven one? ________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |

after having my mates 2003 m3 yesterday, I like bmws now, the way it sucked up the dips and bumps in the road without a single knock bang clatter or rattle from anywhere impressed me, and it was lowered slightly with the big csl wheels on, I imagine them standard are an even better quality ride, pity about the rust bubbles on the paintwork though.________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I love our 335i in work. Is remapped with a milltek, bilstein B16RC kit pilot super sports and Alcon superkit. It is immense everywhere and better than our E92 M3 in a few areas.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Have you driven one? 330i (254bhp) - £280 tax - 32MPG combined 330i (272bhp) - £200 tax - 39MPG combined Official figures. Not driven one until I'm ready to actually buy it just in case I love it but can't get one for a while. Seems to be around Sept 07 onwards for 272 version but have seen 2008 254 versions so worth checking. Autotrader says (272) on the ones that have been advertised properly. |

Thanks, I was focused on replacing with a 330D as mapped they are 280/290+ but if the 330i is reasonably quick they're a few k cheaper.I love mine and it's just a 320d, just doing a lot of miles and want to get shot before it starts dropping in value. Post back when you drive one - I've driven a 135i mapped it was insanely quick, however the running costs put me off as I do too many miles to entertain it. ________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |

If you're doing lots of miles, id get the 330d as it'll prob save you a fair bit. i only do about 9000 a year so cant be a derv. At the mo you're looking at about £14k up for a 2008 - 272 330i. However new plate in sept and new version coming onto the used market more should lower them a bit. |

Want a 2009 as the iDrive system looks better - not sure if it's worth extra money though.Finding a decent manual seems a pain in the ass. ________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |

BMW quote bulls**t mpg figures, it even says in the manual you won't replicate the test figures. Our mini is young and healthy and does 70 on a good day to book 82, it's better than most on the mini forum too. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |
