Got this late november to replace my e46 320d but I haven't uploaded any pics yet due to not being able to clean it properly thanks to the cold weather. Seeing as though I'm currently off work recovering from an op and the weather turned out alright today I got the buffer out and got on with it.

Old car first. 2002 E46 320d se, schwarz 2 black, msport bumpers, eibach springs and style 162 ellipsoid wheels though I sold it on the m3 replicas in the pics.

New car. 2006 E90 330d se, sparkling graphite, adaptive xenon lights, msport half leather interior. Modifications since owned: FK shocks and springs, msport spoiler, front spoilers, darkline style rear lights, grills sprayed with plastidip, 20mm rear spacers, ellipsoid wheels from previous car.

Just after cleaning:

And a few from down the road trying to catch the last of the sun:

Main products used:

Menzerna power finish
Menzerna final finish
Collinite 840 pre wax cleaner
Chemical guys wet mirror finish

Cheers.

That is stunning. I have been telling Fad for ages he needed these on his E90. Looks lovely. Bit low for my liking but great nonetheless

Very nice.

What wheels were on it if you needed to keep the Elpsoids from the E46?? Elipsoids are standard on these are they not.

They're not genuine blacklines are they? Look really dark!

They look better than the blacklines IMO. Might be laminex?

Or are they LED looking at them....

These need the sat nav/ i drive computer fitted to break the dash up a bit imo. My boss has one and looks loads better with it.

Mint motor though

Tell me about it, it took me ages to find one with this interior and xenon lights, I almost gave up looking 330d and considered getting a 320d with the same spec then this one came up for sale just 4 miles away.

The lights aren't genuine darklines and to be honest I've no idea what make they are as I got them with my tailgate which already had a geuine bmw spoiler fitted in the right colour off ebay for a bargain £52

The reason I went for one without idrive/satnav is because the controller replaces the cubby hole in the centre console where I put my phone and wallet

plus I just use my phone or a tomtom for sat nav.
