How many 3.0i were sold in the UK I wonder?

Has to be a rare motor.

Must admit my 35is is now 6 years old and is a fabulous car.

Still looks and drives like new.

Hi Andy, lovely looking 35is,I'm not sure why there wasn't so many 3.0i NAs as a lot of people buy the 23i (2,5L), The 3.0i is the same tax band as the 2.5L and is possibly just as economical if not better when on a run! The 3.0i to me was a no brainer 250plus BHP instead of 204 bhp with the 2.5L.
Mines a manual with 56K, nav (idrive), extended leather. Great cars.

I had a 2.3i as I couldn't actually get a 3.0i. Dealers had a fair few 2.3i models with discounts from new.

Then I got an even better deal on a 35is. Don't like the red so much but it really is a fabulous car. Only 13k on the clock paperbag

I like that very much.

Are they EBC pads? I found those to be bloody awful and not a patch on the equivalent Hawks.

My new 140i!



Struggling to put miles on it due to the crap weather and work commitments.

Went for an auto with black leather - loving it so far.

It's a cracker of an engine, is it not?

Applied here in a 440i convertible. Stunning deal from my local dealer saw me switch out of my 640dGC. Silver with coral red interior, 19" 403s, Harmon Kardon surround sound, a few other bits and bobs.

Loving it so far.

5 months of ownership now. Updated the grille to the black ones and been enjoying every mile of the 440i's engine! Still love it and get a smile everytime I walk up to it! Also, a pic alongside my friend at works new 5l Ford Mustang GT.

As much as I want to tinker with mine, i just find it perfect as it is so nothing else I really want to change!

My E36 328i. Going for some new wheels and tyres tomorrow - dropping from 225 section 16" wheels to 205 section 15".

Also going to soon be completely upgraded - Springs, dampers, bushes etc. May also remove the PAS which should hopefully turn it into something very interesting...

Cooper Tunbridge Wells? May have seen you around if so.

Shout if you need any spares, have rather a few from when I had my 328 sport many moons ago (see profile).

That is trouser-accident-inducing. How come E36 coupes look so "right" yet 1 series coupe and 2 series look so awkward??

Just brought this at the weekend, BMW 328 cab, has some nice mods, M50 manifold, 68mm throttle body, hsd coil overs, 3.15 diff. Had to swap the front seats out as they looked like they had been salvaged from the titanic! Luckily I have a knackered 328 saloon with the same colour leather.

That's a stunning car mate, miss my e36 even though it was nowhere near that level!

Cheers, the guy I got it from had it re-sprayed earlier this year so the paint is immaculate, the interior needs a bit of a tidy and the roof could do with a refurb, but other than that it's spot on. Bring on next summer!

BMW F32 435d XDrive. M Sport plus package, HUD, OEM Carbon splitter, wing mirrors, and spoiler.

This is how she looked just over a month ago when I picked her up from the dealers brand new (66 plate)


A visit up to Projex Ltd in Clevedon to have a set of 19" 2Forge ZF2s and a set of AC Schnitzer coils fitted.






Remap planned next month.
