So... €422 tax for ~24 days?

Well if he can afford it and justify it well fair play to him. He had an X5 as his daily drive then an e34 535i and now a 330i e90 not a bad collection at all to look at each morning.

Was there a 335i available in a four door or was it only a coupé? Great looking 330i.

It was available in a four door but very rare over here a bit more common in the UK. I've only seen one that wasn't a coupe for sale in Ireland and that was an estate shortly after I bought my own 330i.

Any of ye know Stheno on here. Well she had a GTV Alfa this timing belt let her down. Sold to QV on here for parts who then sold it to me for parts. Car ended up being too good to break so it got a new lease of life (courtesy of my old engine). I think it's gone to a good home (not mine for once!!)

Yes I know the engine bay needs a good cleaning but I'm doing a service so cleaning will come later. The reason I posted the picture is I'm confused should I service it or just make love to it!!!!!!!!!!

Would much rather see an engine bay like that when buying a car rather than a one that's been shined up. Looks nice and original.

every man and his dog has a tdi passat, a 530d is like a Rolls Royce compared to one.

I wouldn't think thats anything to look at??

I'd actually rip away some of that plastic and try see is there a decent looking engine buried in there!

its not too shabby.

before and after a K&N Typhoon, needed that as it was too quiet without it.

132K Miles on her now.

Hachiko · 09-07-2015 10:49PM

YbFocus · 09-07-2015 10:53PM

I'll get a pic of my baby too

Hachiko man that looks like a diesel.
Recover it please, it's like seeing a female friend naked.
You always wondered but now it's weird and she needs to get dressed

GvidoR · 09-07-2015 10:57PM

We're doing engine bays? Okay then...

Hachiko · 09-07-2015 11:04PM

going a bit off topic here.

I thought foxy had a petrol.

A diesel 5 series was heading into an estate last sunday here, the owner floored it (as they do) and it let off this glorious plume of smoke that probably contributed to a good few % of greenhouse gases, he/she was in a fierce rush for a cup of tea id say. Why would they do that I was thinking to myself, its not like (s)/he was on a open road or anything. It was a pretty recent car too, 5 years old or less I would gather.

Oh I do! 2.5 Six pot, I never liked Diesels and hope that I won't be forced to own one!

09-07-2015 11:20PM

Easy to tell this ain't my car because you know...this engine is clean.

Mine could look like that if I bothered I'm sure. Not the best looking yoke but not the worst either.

Runs and drives great though

I'd always hoped that to. But the 530 ain't the worst has a nice bit of power and a lot smoother drive and sounding than most diesels but hasn't a patch on the exhaust note of the 330i which I made sure to record before I got rid so I can torture myself from time to time and watch/listen back on.

Voodoomelon · 10-07-2015 12:05AM

How do people have the patience to really clean an engine bay. I start with a wipe to the engine cover, then the battery cover, see all the small crevices and say ah t'fcuk with this, and close the bonnet!
