350z went in a swap for a 330ci. Nissan wasn't selling so i decided to swap it for another car i have always wanted and decided to get something a bit different from all the other BM's you see floating about.

330ci Msport convert
BMW individual velvet blue
All extras I believe except sat nav/tv.
Harmon kardon
32k miles
M3 front bumper
AC Schnitzer bits and bobs.









May not be to everyones taste but im very happy with it, and it is amazing to drive! Feels better built than anything i have owned previously, i can see why people hype them so much now! Taken a little while to get used to no clutch etc though

Plans:
Tidy up a couple of bits.
Get previous owners plate off and mine on.
possibly retrofit sat nav/tv OR get ipod connection for standard unit.
Get key programmed to operate the roof from the fob
Possibly get a hard top but would need spraying due to rare colour (Tom?)

Worth waiting for then mate. Glad you didn't get that silver one.
I know of a very good retro fit screen. It's DVD mp3 sat nav. USB sd card. iPod. And around £500.
Digital tv too.
It looks completly oem but you don't need the seperate unit in the boot. It's a straight swap.
Wheels are ok just the exhaust let's it down.
Get a twin pipe jobbie coming out just the left side. Could probably get a bit on eBay for your AC one

Knew there would be some hit and misses

Tom - Cheers for your help with the other one I think we're thinking of the same screen which is good, seen a few threads on some bimmer forums. Just need to decide whether it is something i would put to good use etc.

Wheels I wasnt sure on either at first but im getting used to them. pretty big though

The exhaust I am definately in two minds about so may look to go standard looking with that, sounds very nice though.

Jambo - no way hosay! was up for way too much as you said

Tom - Do they do black ones like the headlights? Not come across any yet. LED lights should have been on the list look much better

Col you still got the CSL's or they go with the car?

Ian do you mean the indicators? As far as i know the headlights themselves should be standard as the do the levelling thing when turned on etc.

Mark, not long probably im well overdue a tug tbh

Alot of the M3 guys go for depos. They are the tinted front indicators.
The screen is a dynavin I think. I'll have to check on m3 cutters though.
Change the wheels when you need new tyres

Keep vaseline in the glove box then.

I think with led rear lights, nice exhaust, the headunit toms on about and some csl wheels and that would look amazing!
