BMW 330ci MSport..

[Art0ir]

Lifted this in Wales a few weeks ago (starting to make a habit of it, cars in NI are so much more expensive..)

FSH, Genuine MSport, HK Sounds, etc, etc..

I know the P/S fog cover is missing, some ratbag in Belfast must have lifted it in the past fortnight









And fried eggs removed at the weekend..






EDIT: Sorry for the huge pictures

Looks very tidy for its age. Is it 5 or 6 speed? Got one similar for sale myself! No idea how to upload pics though. Enjoy!

5 Speed, couldn't really justify the extra expenditure facelifts command and I prefer the pre-facelift coupe anyway

Nice looking car.. Not keen on the ditchfinders though!

Nice looking car, very clean example.

looks a nice example, not so nice is the unpleasant task of keeping those MV1s clean! It's a 'Sport', is it not? 'M Sport' is a later higher spec on the E90.

PZeros waiting to go on!

Sorry maybe it is just a "Sport", I'm not fully clued up on the trim levels

Facelift E46 coupe was referred to as MSport - at least our 2005 330Cd was, whereas my 2001 330Ci was a Sport.

[philmots]

M Sport is just the new way of saying Sport. No actual differences.

Current line-up have 'Sport' and 'M Sport' model ranges. A straight forward Sport nowadays is more akin to an SE.

Is it possible that someone has swapped out the headlights for the lesser non projected ones? Given that it has headlight washers and its a 330 would make it a safe bet that it should have come with the projectors?

I don't believe so, I know of another two with washers and no projectors

Very nice Had a 330Ci M Sport myself but seem to remember they came with xenons?

edit: This was mine for reference (the splitter was aftermarket...)

Nice car OP, very clean, zenons were an option, standerd on the M3

Lovely car OP (snap). In terms of differences re. Sport, this model became known as the M Sport on facelift E46s. In terms of actual mechanical non ocsmetic differences, as far as I'm aware all E46 coupes have the sport suspension.

Nice, the sport bumpers are growing on me. I have a 51 plate SE Coupe, lovely car.

Check your wishbones and bushes on the front, usually the first thing to go :-).

Thanks for all the kind words folks. The last car was an E46 and had it over 2 years so well versed in the (numerous!) common problems.

I like this a lot! Congrats!
