Just picked this nice 2007 BMW 330i Auto M Sport. Only done 16,900 miles!

Spec isnt too bad; Pro Nav/Media Pack, Heated Seats, Cruise (standard I think), Mirror Pack (folding etc), Wood (dislike!), Auto.

That looks lovely, pretty damn nice commuter car with that engine! Interior looks brand new too and a nice place to be.

I am sure there will be those BMW folk on here that would know how to change over the wood bits of the trim to something else...just needs a bit of patience and skill I assume !!

Yes trim is easily swapped, or possibly wrapped if I had the patience!

Doesn't really even take any skill, just pull on them until they come out.

Ridiculously low mileage! Almost seems a shame to put any on it at this point.

Runflats are hideous. I am hoping being the originals and 8 years old is making it worse. Have some P zero (runflats) to go on to match the rears, if it is still crashy I will ditch runflats altogether..

I swapped the runflats for regular Continentals on my wife's 325i E92 and it felt like a different car. I really wouldn't bother with the P Zeros, they all feel like the car is running on tyres made from cement. Once the regular tyres are on, the ride is superb for a car with such sorted handling. Amazing that you got hold of one with such low miles - enjoy! Trim wise, the shiny silver you sometimes see in these doesn't look right with cream leather at all but would recommend the dark grey ash I think it is that my wife's car has - not her car in this pic.

Thanks. Agree that very black wood is ok. I dont want to spend a load of money on getting rid of the wood, but keeping an eye for black, or may possibly have a go at wrapping it.

Agree Silver with the Beige/Lemon doesnt work.

Could I be so bold as to ask how much that delight was?

Looks stunning. Congrats
