My 330i is more of a 10 footer, but Sparkling Graphite isn't that exciting anyway!
I like SGG (but am biased). As far as grey goes, it’s quite an interesting colour with the purple fleck and the way it does change colour depending on the light. 
But my Sparkling Graphite is never anywhere as clean as yours and my Silver Grey Z4 is much the same.
I really miss some colour in my cars. I loved my Imola Red 325ti Compact and Montego Blue Z4 combo.

It wouldn’t be my first choice of colour, but I think it’s nice as far as grey goes.But my Sparkling Graphite is never anywhere as clean as yours and my Silver Grey Z4 is much the same.

We got back from the Lakes late last night and the little 330i proved to be a great car for the trip; it swallowed all of our crap, was easy on fuel and is pretty comfy. The only thing I miss on longer trips is CarPlay.
It was looking pretty grotty again after 400 odd miles which included lots of rain….and I mean lots at times.
Unfortunately the centre console trim that I bought from eBay is the wrong colour - it’s much much darker than the trim in the car. I’m still on the lookout for a piece of trim.
Whilst we were away, the oil I ordered from Opie arrived but I won’t be doing the oil change anytime soon because the filter was crushed in transit.

I got the Andream unit as recommended to me before, works an absolute dream to get CarPlay. Has a hiccup every few moons where it’ll just need a hard reset but for the money it’s been bob on! Definitely second the recommendation if you’re looking into it!
I envy your car cleaning regimen, mine gets a fortnightly wax through a drive in car wash
Any updates on a possible M3 yet?

That's a sod re the oil filter pal! Had exactly the same but with Amazon; ordered a Hengst and Mann filter from them; both crushed (clearly been stodd on or had something dropped on them)...

I’ve got an Andream unit n my 335i and can’t fault it. Unfortunately because this is a none-nav car, my options are a bit more limited; the double dins installs look rubbish in the 3 series because if the massive faceplate and there’s not usually anywhere to relocate buttons for the front PDC. The other option is the top mounted jobbies, but I’m not in love with the idea of cutting the dash up.I envy your car cleaning regimen, mine gets a fortnightly wax through a drive in car wash

I’m sad enough to try and keep on top of cleaning them because it makes my life easier.
The M3 is on hold for now pending the outcome of our mortgage renewal in June. I’d previously thought it was next summer but was wrong (as my wife keeps reminding me

Yeah, it’s really annoying. I’ll give Opie a call tomorrow and see what they say. I probably won’t get chance to drop the oil until next weekend now, plus I’ve still got the old stuff from my 335i to dispose of.ts given as per the norm...!E91 looks spanking as always

Best of luck with it, we’ve just been stung with a 380 increase along with everything else going up! ).At least an M3 will keep you smiling through such turbulent times…

Yeah it’s a bit of a pisser. The jump from 1 point something percent to nearly five is expensive! The biggest kick is paying lots more and not actually getting any more house. At least an M3 will keep you smiling through such turbulent times…
peak BMW design right there.
