So this car just popped up, however a little wary with what been done, looks like they done the exhaust unless you can buy them like this standard? Is best to avoid modified BMW's?

You might be able to find that car on one of the E90 forums, worth posting and asking, they'll be able to tell you all about it then

Thanks good idea didn't realise there was a forum dedicated to e90's! Which will be good when I finally get one.

Won't let me post a new topic at the moment guessing because I'm a newbie so will try a bit later.

How did the car hunt go?

How did the car hunt go?

Didn't get a chance to go see the cars I wanted as my mate was working. However thought I'd still go test drive a couple cars to get a feel for them even thought I didn't want these models.

Tested a 325i SE and M-Sport and 330i SE, and I can assure you that i will 100% be going M Sport even though I only tried the 325i version. The drive felt alot more comfortable and the seats were exactly what everyone been saying, very nice drive. The SE was a nice drive at first but doesn't compare to the M Sport. As well as the M Sport being such a better looking car.

Didn't notice that much of a difference between 325i and the 330i in terms of speed, maybe a bit on the mark, but i guess that because I didn't drive the 330i M Sport.

Going to spend the next couple days now seeing what M Sport I want to go see and my mate has the day off ready to go for a car hunt at the weekend, I've had enough of buses and getting lifts, want to get back into a car!

Morning all!

Got a couple cars lined up for this weekend. After speaking to my insurance company looks like I can only go for the 325i, they seem to want quite a bit for a 330i.

Two options

Both lovely cars, both same kind of spec, I'm guessing I should be looking at the Newer Car?

Also saw a nice coupe, just wondered if anyone has a 3 Series Coupe as well as kids and if it a problem or not?

Links aren't working for me for some reason, regards the Coupe I have had two E90 saloons and a E92 M3 Coupe and I personally prefer the looks of the Coupe and they come with folding rear seats as standard whereas the saloon its a rare option.

So I actually thought the Coupe was more practical and better for carrying stuff and it didn't bother me moving the seat forward to put my daughter in the back although admitted it is slightly quicker with 4 doors but for me the 2 door car looks so much more sporty.

Although I have had two saloons the Coupe wins for me, plus they also come with xenons as standard whereas its an option on the saloon.

As you said Coupe do look quite nice, this is the one I was looking at http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2015...

I like all three to be fair and had both of the colours of the saloons you have picked out, the coupe looks pretty smart too.

The Le Mans Blue saloon is pretty much identical to mine, I prefer the Coupes in M sport form as well though.

Enjoy the viewing and hope they look good in the metal too.

Although you can cope with a 2dr, it does get to be a pain after a while.
Plus the coupe you've linked to is SE spec

Morning guys,

Just thought I'd update you!

I finally have my BMW

After viewing a few decided to go for the e 325i Black Coupe, the spec was just too good to miss!. 60k miles on the clock and FSH being done every couple years shows it been looked after. The leather is immaculate as well which is a bonus as a couple a i saw where showing to be worn.

Glad to finally being part of the club and look forward to making the car my own, thank you for all the help guys!

Congratulations pleased you got hold of a nice one and I love the Coupe shape loads, get some pics up of it when you can.

[Sohlman]

You do need to add pictures now so we can coo and ahh
