Looks the business, enjoy. Great all rounder so they are.

330d? Congrats GF. Looks stunning and always loved Estoril Blue.

The number of 6 cylinder owners seems to be gathering pace on boards.

GustavoFring

Thanks lads.

Yeah 330d. Colour clinched it to be honest.

Four Phucs Ache

That blue is spectacular. Enjoy.

The blue is stunning on the F30s alright.

Six cylinders is so much nicer as well, no going back once you've tried one really:D.

An F30 330d is on my list of options when the time comes to replace my E46, there's no way I'd own anything other than a rear wheel drive BMW with at least six cylinders now.

So this just happened 15min ago:

I drove home from work as always and its pitch black, but I noticed something in the distance. It was a 172 focus with no lights on traveling same direction as I am!!!
I got closer to him and started flashing my lights and focus driver was just turning indicators randomly. I still flashed him, until he went to the side and stoped. I stoped in front of him and walked over.
Now its pitch black and I did not wanted to look threatening, so I walked over to window and just said that they had no lights on and its extremely dangerous in nicest way I could.
They were a young foreign couple and car was rented aka Tourists. They had no clue how to turn lights on. Now to their defence, the whole dashboard is bombarded in switches, lights and buttons, even I could not figure out right away where are the light switch. Such a damn clutter fest design!
Anyway, we found it, lights on, friendly good bye and thank you. I guess its my little deed on the road, instead of nerd rage!

Isn’t the light switch in the same place as on your Ibiza?

Have to say there is far less of this these days than there was a few years ago.

bazz26

Why automatic lights are not mandatory on new cars is beyond me.

Thats where I looked right away. There was some sort of thing, but had no idea how it finctions or turns or presses. If what it made me appreciate the simple, very easy layout and controls of my ibiza.
Keep in mind its very dark and in whole black interior I only sow millions of little lights.

I don't know about that i think it has just progressed, the amount of people I see driving around Limerick on front DRLs only is chronic.

Hyundais i40s with dublin regs being the worst culprits...

Took Cork anglesea street folk 12 months plus to turn on their i40 lights at night.

Flew out to the sunny Cyprus yesterday for two weeks holidays. Parents Drove me to the Airport we took the A4 always funny seeing someone else drive off in your car. Back to driving my relations Ateca over here 1.4TSI DSG such a nice car really so smooth. As crossovers go I think they are u there although the new Tiguan is also nice.

Saw pics on FB. I am on holidays and was really disapointed to be missing it, doesn't look like I missed out too much.

JoeA3

Cork, Limerick, Clare, Galway hurlers in Croke Park all weekend might have something to do with it.

Truckermal

Possibly Joe nice day out though all the same.

I called in around 12. Not much happening, so went home to watch the GP and the Cork game. It's been very good the last few years.

We were there alright and took home two prizes ourselves, one for mine in the Top 10 BMW/Merc/Opel category and one for the Caddy in the Top 15 VAGE Category, another car prepped by us yesterday got Top 10 BMW too.

It was actually a very good show again this year but trailed off after about 1 when people started tipping away!

Thoroughly enjoyable i'd be a big admirer of Galway hurling (definitely not football lol) but i fairly lept out of my seat when that point went over to equalise in extra time.

This is still sitting on DD. Looks like it'll be a while before it shifts. Have it up for 1700 quid. A lot of car for little money but not a car anyone really wants in this country with tax near a grand and insurance getting tricky for most. It's 2.2 so obviously it's a race car in the eyes of the insurance companies.
